Radtechwxman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 These band over me near Peoria is nice but flakes are so puny. Guessing forcing isnt deep enough atm to penetrate dgz. Not accumulating too fast despite nice banding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice band from SE. IA up towards ORD...Nearly stationary, with snow feeding north into the area. DVN radar looks beautiful (I'm sure it's not to some of our friends out that way)....just filling in the gaps as they roll north... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice big dendrites underneath the band here in far north Naperville. Good returns starting to develop and move up from the south too. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice big dendrites underneath the band here in far north Naperville. Good returns starting to develop and move up from the south too. Sent from my SCH-I535 Great setup for us right now. This band is nearly stationary and is really cranking. 3-6" looking good, maybe more if these bands keep developing and moving in from the south.

cyclone77 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Interesting to hear about the big dendrites off to the east. Even with the heavier band that has just moved in here the flakes are still pretty small, but it's pouring a lot of them though. Intensity still pretty impressive.

Agreed, starting to get concerned for the higher end of the forecasted range up here given trends on KLOT and upstream. The slow movement of the upper level features is really going to keep us in a good spot through the night it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 LOT mentioned the f-gen band potential in the 6z aviation update last night...Looks like it worked out. GUIDANCE HINTS AT AN F-GEN BAND DEVELOPING OVER THECHICAGO AREA RESULTING IN SOME LOCALLY HEAVIER SNOW WITH VSBY LESSTHAN A MILE POSSIBLE. DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE THIS FAR OUT EXACTLYWHERE THE BAND WILL DEVELOP...BUT CURRENTLY APPEARS MOST FAVORABLEBETWEEN ROUGHLY 04-09Z. IF IT DOES DEVELOP...VSBY IN 1/2 TO 3/4 SMRANGE WOULD BE A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 starting out a little late but models always showed it would struggle until around now.. don't have the best feeling for you and me north but I'll let it play out a bit True, I didn't think it would start until after 10, but after midnight for myself is even worse. Also, lolz at MKX going with hourly snowfall accumulation forecasts. It serves them right this storm fails just for that weenie forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Snow bands on the DVN radar quickly decreasing as the area of better lift is now shifting eastward. Probably another hour or so of high end light snow before shifting back to the --SN we saw for the first 5hrs of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
