February 4-5th Winter Storm Part 2


Chicago Storm

Recommended Posts

looks like convective feedback issues is causing the problems with wave handlement. You can see this by the models putting the low around the convection to its southeast causing distortions. Thus everything needs to be tighter and further northwest to match the flow.

GFS seems to struggle with that quite a bit in these situations

Good points. The fly in the ointment is that system moving across the south and Mid Atlantic. Then ofcourse it still has not been fully sampled yet. Thus we need to get that system in the south/mid Atlantic outta here ( the weaker/quicker the better ) and sampling done with this one.

regarding the images....tweet from maue...

 

Yep.. Most don't allow hot linking because it can drive up their server costs. Even though the image may show here because it comes from them directly it is their server getting the hit. On websites like this ( bigger audience ) it can add up quick. Doesn't mean you cannot save it and then upload it here as you would a pic.

FWIW, many more of the SREF members are wet on the 15z run (.75-1"+ qpf in the heavy snow band) but the mean is held in check due to a couple of exceptionally dry members.  Still a bit outside of the comfortable range to say that it will be right but at least some reason for optimism.

Again, more good news for us. :guitar:

 

I looked on his blog, for the lolz, and he has the surface low cutting west of Dayton. Uhh huh.  

 

Oh, and congrats Chicago. http://blogs.wlfi.com/2014/02/02/93169/

Honestly I don't think the dryslot concern is totally unfounded, especially if there's a trend to the northwest.  Not something to panic about yet but something to keep in mind.
