Hoosier Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I need to be more consistent. Either way, miss to the north and/or south. Zero flakes for LAF...final call. Bonus...max temp tomorrow of 43º. Rapid snow melt. Lock it up. Looks like the 00z Euro gets us into the .15-.20 range total. Nice consensus on qpf other than the NAM but of course we have to be concerned about how warm we get during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My call for MDW at 4.6" I'm pretty happy with. ORD will end up with more than 3 inches though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJSnowLover Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My call for MDW at 4.6" I'm pretty happy with. ORD will end up with more than 3 inches though... After 0.4 on Friday, I think the "magic number" is 4.2" for ORD to reach 50" on the season. Don't quote me on that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 After a few hours of virga we have our first flakes making it to the surface here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Looking forward to seeing the rates here. 6z RAP with its best run yet with .30" liquid here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 IND going with the colder guidance. Doesn't really allay my concern that we go significantly above freezing but hopefully they're right. ... FINALLY STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION IS EXPECTED TODAY IN THE WAKE OF THE WARM FRONT. 850MB TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE FROM -10C EARLY THIS MORNING TOWARD -3C BY 18Z. NUMERICAL GUIDANCE LOOKS TO OVERREACT TO THESE VALUES...ALLOWING TEMPS TO SOAR INTO THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S. GIVEN THE VERY COLD START TO THE DAY THAT IS EXPECTED ALONG WITH TRAPPED COLD AIR BENEATH THE INVERSION...NOT TO MENTION THE INVADING CLOUDS AND CHANCES FOR SNOW...PUTTING IT KINDLY...THE MAVMOS HIGHS ARE A BIT FAR FETCHED. WILL TREND TOWARD THE COLDER METMOS WHICH SEEMS MORE REASONABLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 this event started with pretty decent rates and looks to end the same...quick hitter with heavier rates playing out as forecasted by numerous and via most of the models tonight looks fun more some blizzard like conditions for a few hours....this morning's snow ended up being quite fluffy....should blow around pretty good unless we end up with an glaze on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
