A-L-E-K Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Closer the snow gets the more impressive the rap looks p typical leading up to an event like this. I haven't been watching it but will start watching for trends, it did great IMBY yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Complete whiff for LAF on the 18z NAM. Hope it's wrong, but we run the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordoFabulous Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Fun little snow band has been sitting right over me virtually all day with steady -SN and bursts of SN to +SN. I'd say we've gotten an inch out of this so far on top of what came last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 For the LAF peeps, here's a scenario we have to consider. We get little snow in the morning, temps warm above freezing and cause some melting and then we get some snow along the front but it really comes out to no net gain over what we have right now (though it would add to the seasonal total).

snowlord81 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ehh not to worried about the NAM. The 18z RAP shows good RH and good omega's sitting over us tomorrow but no QPF? I don't pay much attention to QPF and simulated radars. We will see what happens though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just arrived in St. Paul. High clouds on the increase here. Currently 5F. Looks like 2-4" here tonight but most of the good forcing to the SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. I'll take whatever we can get. Closer in inspection is we're barely ok on that 18 hour image. Looks nice for IKK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afterimage Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Interesting IWX in their zones have hoisted WWA from now until 7am Monday, along with WCA.....Indy let their WWA expire at 1 today, which seems odd up this/our way...wrecks just keep amassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 We're doomed!!! Better go T final call. This is like role reversal from yesterday. Being near the southern edge in these setups is no fun. Hopefully the NAM has gone overboard and it won't turn out quite so dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 IND going 2-3" near and north of I-74. Hopefully they are correct. CONTINUE TO SEE WINDS GUST TO 30 MPH THROUGH 9 PM. THEN...A WARMFRONT WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY AS WILL A CLIPPER THATWILL DROP SOUTHEAST IN THE FAST NORTHWEST FLOW. 285K ISENTROPICANALYSIS WAS SHOWING LOWERING CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS AFTER09Z SPREADING FROM WEST TO EAST ALONG WITH STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFTTHROUGH AROUND 15Z. MIXING RATIOS WERE FROM 2 TO 3 G/KG WHICH FOR ASOLID 12 HOUR SNOW WOULD NORMALLY PRODUCE AROUND 4 TO 6 INCHES OFSNOW. HOWEVER...WITH THE BEST LIFT AND DEEPEST MOISTURE ONLYEXPECTED TO LAST 6 HOURS...2 TO 3 INCHES LOOKS GOOD MAINLY NEAR ANDNORTH OF INTERSTATE 74 TO THE SOUTHEAST OF INDIANAPOLIS AND NORTH OFINTERSTATE 70 TO THE NORTHWEST OF INDY. AMOUNTS WILL BE LESSER TOTHE SOUTH WITH LESS THAN AN INCH SOUTHWEST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
