Chicago WX Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Report from Hoosier's guy. 0615 PM SNOW 2 W WEST LAFAYETTE 40.44N 86.95W 02/04/2015 M2.9 INCH TIPPECANOE IN BROADCAST MEDIA I'm going out to measure here in a bit. Arm chair QB'ing, but probably should have had a WWA...considering the timing/intensity of the snow. Bunch of accidents being reported around here...hill on 52 going up into WL was supposedly impassable. And of course troubles on I-65 to the north in White County.

Brewers Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The upper level flow flattens over the Midwest on Tuesday with Pacific energy moving through. Thermals may be an issue but a couple inches of snow will be possible for the Twin Cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah I'm liking the flow that flattens out over MO and southern IA. The TC should be in a good spot for decent lift on Tues/Wed. I just hope the thermals don't bite us. This is the best setup so far this winter for a decent hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown and Brewers check the Minnesota forecaster site for my thoughts on Tuesday snow chances, it now looks gloomy. http://www.minnesotaforecaster.com/ Upper support outruns the surface low.

I'm known there as randyinchamplin Agreed, the past few model run have me feeling less than thrilled. Models have shifted to a more consolidate low near the US/Canada border which keeps the lower levels "toasty" and best forcing to the north of us. I guess the GFS is trying to hang on to something more preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, we can't catch a break this winter. 12z GFS isn't buying into the NAM yet... 00z Euro would probably be a good compromise but still not what we are looking for in the TC. I'd lean more towards snow, although probably won't be much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 FWIW the 4km NAM and RGEM keep the precip in the form of snow for the entire event in MSP. They both did an excellent job with p-type here with the superbowl storm. Unfortunately the biggest issue for MSP is the heaviest precip is largely gonna fall just north of there. Need a little shift south to get that heavier precip down there. Right now it's looking like 1-3" type event, with the RGEM the most generous in the 2-3" range.

Chitown Storm Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 MSP and most of MN are in the 'marginal' risk category for thunderstorms tomorrow per the SPC. About 100 J/kg of MUCAPE being progged. Sure, I'll take some thundersleet. Let's do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
