A-L-E-K Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 NAM looks like it drops 3"+ in 3hrs in a swath from southwest WI to Chi metro. Really nice UVV signal and it's trended colder aloft like the GFS with a much more favorable DGZ. Probably won't be as intense as super bowl night in 2008 around here might come close close for a 3hr period. namFLT_700_vvel_042.gif that was a cool event real nice bullseye, should see a nice period of parachutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Given the very impressive LLJ at 925mb into northern IL and the tight thermal gradient, easy to argue for the higher QPF/good banding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 My 4.6" at ORD call when all said and done looking solid. Hard to pin point those arctic front squalls on Sunday but the 4km NAM has them paralleling 88 to southern cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 WSW for DVN For blowing snow. Really wish they didn't ditch blowing snow advisories a few years back. The decision was made to cover everything under the WWA and WSW products for the most part. The WWA issued yesterday afternoon and for today/tonight is largely for blowing snow.

Hoosier Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 IWX comment for Sunday .... MODELS ARE STILL IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN DEPICTING REDUCED STATIC STABILITY ABOVE THIS LOW LEVEL FORCING SUNDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY JUST IN ADVANCE OF STRONG MID LEVEL DRY PUNCH. THIS SCENARIO COULD SUPPORT SOME MORE ORGANIZED BANDING PARTICULARLY TOWARD THE LATTER PORTIONS OF THIS EVENT AND THUS MAY NEED TO MONITOR FOR SOME POTENTIALLY HIGHER SNOW AMOUNTS.
