A-L-E-K Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Ice, fail. P it's really hard to get ice IMBY pretty wild to think the best ZR event in years came with 2M temps well above freezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I got up early this AM no real reason other then maybe I'm getting old.... I was looking at temps around Chicago vs Detroit. Weather warnings should be flipped around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natester Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I really didn't expect to wake up to snow this morning. Honestly, I expected to wake up to sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm actually getting some lake effect snow off lake Huron right now with these east winds, that doesn't happen a lot around here. The real show should get started about 4pm for me, the 6z models were pretty scary looking here honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 From DTX: INITIALLY DRY THERMAL PROFILES MAY YIELD A FEW SNOWFLAKES DURING INITIAL SATURATION, BUT NOTHING WORTH AN EXPLICIT MENTION IN THE FORECAST. INSTEAD, THE DOMINANT PRECIP TYPES ARE FORECAST TO BE SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN AS STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT SPREADS OVER COLD HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL REMAIN FIRMLY IN PLACE. EVEN IN THE DETROIT METRO AREA, THE WARM NOSE IS MODELED TO BE QUITE ELEVATED /CENTERED AT 750MB/ TO WELL INTO THIS AFTERNOON, YIELDING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN SLEET AS THE DOMINANT PTYPE TO START. A TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN AND THEN RAIN WILL EVOLVE DURING THE EVENING AS STRONG MOISTURE ADVECTION FORCES SURFACE DEWPOINTS ABOVE FREEZING. A SIMILAR EVOLUTION IS EXPECTED FOR ALL LOCATIONS. ONE ITEM OF NOTE IS POTENTIAL FOR EASTERLY FLOW ACROSS LAKE ERIE/ST CLAIR COULD CUT INTO WINTRY PRECIP POTENTIAL IN WAYNE/MONROE COUNTY. THIS IS ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE FORECAST WITH WSW WORDING SUGGESTING LESSER AMOUNTS TOWARD THE LAKESHORE. I've never heard them mentioning Lk Erie/St. Clair influencing the thermals of Detroit proper compared to "inland" areas. Just viscerally it wouldn't seem to ring true, but I guess if water temps are very warm it's possible? As an eastsider in Detroit proper, that has been an issue (or a saving grace IMO) plenty of times, in the same way Lake Michigan does it for Alek.

cyclone77 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 DLL looking to get dumped on quite nicely by looking at the HRRR. Doesn't look like sleet will be much of a problem there. Southern WI looks more dicey concerning sleet. Tough call there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dissident Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Curious what my father in Ozaukee County WI will get... the NOAA says an inch while many of the models say more like 6-10 inches. I'd imagine the easterly winds off lake Michigan could make for lessor amounts that some of the models are not picking up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I made my trip back from there to here yesterday and not today. Questionable if I'd be able to beat the precip.... it's already approaching Columbus, WI which is about where I'd be on the trip. 1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LansingWeather Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Gonna be bad here if we get mostly FRZ and not sleet. Fell below freezing last night at 8:30 and it's now 26.2.

cyclone77 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Pavement is actually iced up pretty good here. Trees crackling in the wind. Heavier rates on the way per radar. Looking at model data we should be AOB freezing for another 5-7hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I may have received an inch of snow between 5-8am, but it has gone over to at least a sleet mix. Dual-pol radar, reports to the south, and models suggest we'll be at least mixed through mid afternoon, if not all sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Woke up to see MPX finally upgraded to a warning. 6-12" thru tomorrow. As long as convection doesn't get out of hand a few states downstream. LOTs disco is a little concerning regarding that. 3.5" at the MSP airport would be the biggest snow event since the winter of '13-'14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
