February 28-March 3rd Winter Storm


Chicago Storm

Recommended Posts

For eastern IA, southern WI and northwest IN, the Euro puts its eggs in the Friday and Saturday-Saturday night basket. Still pretty good here, about 0.4" liquid and Saturday looks like it would be high ratio fluff with some potential for lake enhancement. Probably 4-6" sort of deal in the LOT CWA and eastern IA, southern WI between Friday and Saturday.

Sent from my SCH-I535

 

How good are the Delta Ts for enhancement?

It'll be interesting to watch the sun angle with this storm (somebody had to bring it up).  There should be little to no effect during times of moderate/heavy rates but I'm wondering what lighter rates will be like.  This looks like it could be a fairly cold storm for this time of year so light rates may be less of an issue than usual at this time of year especially if we are talking about snow falling on top of preexisting snow.

Rather see that now than later.  What are the odds a sleet solution holds for 5 days?

 

IND all in apparently.  :arrowhead:

 

Sunday: Sleet likely. Cloudy, with a high near 22. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Sunday Night: A chance of sleet. Cloudy, with a low around 12. Chance of precipitation is 50%

Well that would be something.  Even GHD didn't really look like sleetmageddon 5 days out.

I was surprised at the confidence 5 days out. I mean, not even a sleet likely with a chance of snow type of forecast. :lol:

 

Eh, not going to get too worried about precipitation type at this stage. In due time, things will sort themselves out.

rain, big dogs, misses south, it's all there

 

I'd toss any rain ones, i know the 0c line at 850mb gets close to you and I on a couple of them but those would definitely be sleet or freezing rain. Basically what it is potentially showing for LAF now would just be shifted north. I think the bigger takeaway is that none of them have a non event for the region as a whole.

While we can still get big dogs with an open/positive tilt trough, our region's big dogs typically either take on a negative tilt or close off aloft.

 

It will certainly go along with seasonal trends if this storm remains an open wave and refuses to wrap moisture around into the cold sector (like the GFS shows). Even the Polar Vortex Blizzard struggled to get a good trowal/deformation axis going.

 

But I would like to see at least one highly-amped/closed-off/vertically-stacked system cut through the Eastern Lakes/Ohio Valley this season.
