cyclone77 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Tried to convince them to get on board with us, MKX and ILX but alas... The high wind signal looks at least as good as it does in their eastern areas (far eastern IA, northwest/west central IL) as it does in the LOT CWA. Top of the mixed layer on BUFKIT pushing 60 kt, especially on the 00z NAM, with the mean mixed layer gusts close to criteria. Yeah man, this setup seems to scream high wind warning. Surprised just now they haven't upgraded yet. Wouldn't be surprised to see them bump it up before noon. Picked up 0.73" so far here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm at 0.72" of liquid now here. Beyond pace of what the models were showing at this point in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDude Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Moderate rain continues. Snow really doesn't seem to be melting much. I suspect that will change once it warms up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Lightning and thunder! Love it I was awake with kids rushing into the bed early this morning and caught an actual whip crack with the flash....must have been a close one...Got me all excited for spring... no real flood problems yet here....but the snowpack seems to have soaked up quite a bit of the rain that fell on it....If we get a rapid increase in the DP's with any more rain this afternoon I could foresee some solid ponding and minor flooding in my neck of the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have seen tssn multiple times in my life, but I cannot recall ever having a genuine t storm with heavy rain with as deep a snowpack as I presently have here in Elkhart.

A-L-E-K Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Over 0.5" of rain here since 4:30. based on obs, it sounds like the area should receive the .75-1.25" advertised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 2007-08 has some good rainers on top of decent snowpack. That was of course, a hyper active winter. Models nailed this one as being NBD for LAF with rainfall. Snoozer really as the heaviest should be north and south of here. Hopefully when the backside winds kick in later tonight/overnight, they'll be worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not sure what's worse, colder temps with melting snow and rain which clogs storm drains and creates ponding on the roads or warmer temps and melting snow that have an opportunity to drain off the roads. It's a mess either way out there. Had to wear my boots to work today! No fog yet, but I can see that happening later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think I lost maybe 1/2" overnight. Warm front looks to be about 50 miles south of the next wave pushing up from the SW.

Thundersnow12 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 With continued convection north of the warm front and 50s still way south, might be a stretch to get that warm here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJSnowLover Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Read the winter thread; sounds like parts of Michigan are/were having some awesome looking snow. Jealous only because, even with all our snow this season, they've rarely been the fun, gigantic cake flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blizzard warning for Des Moines starts 45 minutes after the severe thunderstorm warning expires. Just time enough for a quick nosh between events...
