Rainman Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The QPF was out of control 2 days ago. It has steadily increased every single run since then. And in the process, has centered itself over my house. 18-24" potentially if play over parts of SE MI? Let's see what the rgem and gfs say over the next 2 hrs. But the 00z NAM freaking smokes Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Glad you made it up to NW IN ground zero for this storm Hoosier. I have a cousin over in Highland whose snowblower is currently inoperable. Hope she has some generous neighbors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1vek Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 We normally play the game with the longer range "clown maps" by cutting qpf. What is the process when we are looking at 24-36 hours? Are these snowfall maps generally more accurate? I'm still not expecting (nor will I ever) expect 14"+ in the Detroit metro area. Climo says no, so until it's on the ground, I expect a traditional "strong" event of 8-11". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Precip just started here and it seems like a mix at the moment. I'm liking that map Tsnow posted which shows this area to be in the bullseye for over a foot. I'm curious to see how the winds factor in tomorrow and whether LOT goes with the blizzard warning.

Hoosier Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 For those wondering about the high totals, IWX had this line in their afternoon afd PWAT VALUES OVR CNTL PLAINS ON ORDER OF 200-300 PERCENT OF NORMAL. EXPANSIVE BREADTH OF BULK MOISTURE WITH CONSISTENT 0.5 TO 0.65 INCH PWAT PIVOTING SLOWLY THROUGH SRN TWO THIRDS CWA THROUGH THE EVENT...WITH CULMINATING 0.9 INCH PWAT TAP ACRS SWRN OH SUN EVENING...ON ORDER OF 2 SD ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL MEAN...IMPLICATING THIS EVENT WITH HIGH POTENTIAL FOR BEING SIG OUTLIER TO CLIMATOLOGY.

stormtrackertf Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 4km NAM is also historic for Detroit and surrounding areas and incredible for Chicago as well. Keep in mind these are using 10:1 ratios and in many cases they should be better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Still snowing here, but lightly. About 0.5" or so thus far. 0z NAM north again, and reduces snow totals further for LAF. Looks like a 4-8" spread from south to north in the county. Only about 20-30 miles left of wiggle room now, before well...yeah. Oh well. Enjoy the storm folks...and good luck to all.
