Powerball Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 TWC going premature with the snowfall maps too. So they basically dug up the GHD 2011 and GHD 2015 maps and combined them for this upcoming storm... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I love TWC.... Well, no, I really don't... but that map is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 What a ****ing joke. But they know what sells...hype. Especially on the heels of a huge east cost storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 What a ****ing joke. But they know what sells...hype. The "Get Chicago People To Watch TWC A Lot" model, i.e. GCPTWTWCAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 What a ****ing joke. But they know what sells...hype. They want people in Detroit and Chicago to be glued to their tv screens for the next 6 days. Would be hilarious if it verified though. The Flowers map is ridiculous above also, looks like it is from his December 28th pre-storm archive. WPC's map right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 What a ****ing joke. But they know what sells...hype. Looks oddly similar to my map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPC's map right now. 0.0000000000000000003% chance of verifying, mostly for Chicago. I don't think a single model run (save for the reject DGEX) has shown more than 3 onset mood flakes for Detroit.

Geos Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 On a more scientific note. There was definitely a difference between the heights above the storm on the 18z run vs. the 12z run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Looks oddly similar to my map. Baum going big? Lol should here Alek's first call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClicheVortex2014 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 18z GFS would have a potential severe threat as far north as I-70 in IL/IN. Brings 500J/kg of SBCAPE up to Kankakee. Euro is further east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It's old guys. Glad someone got to the bottom of it. It's from 2/1/14 everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 On a more scientific note. There was definitely a difference between the heights above the storm on the 18z run vs. the 12z run. Notice the other thing though, high to the east is now 5mb stronger leading to more cold air pulled in from the east for places like here and toward Toronto.

hawkeye_wx Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Geez, people. There are too many smart guys in here that immediately fell for a snow map that is obviously not for the upcoming storm. I'm not optimistic this storm will track far enough southeast to drop the heavier band around here. There just hasn't been any cold air ahead of these big systems this winter. The system shouldn't have much trouble pulling the warm air up into southeast Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system shouldn't have much trouble pulling the warm air up into southeast Iowa. Good post I was thinking that today. Why wouldn't it stay west. No cold air in place. It's acting like it's late November or early December type storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OntarioChaser Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Interesting to see how much stronger the NAM is on the initial system on Sunday....wonder how that may affect things later on. GFS is much more diffuse on this wave of energy...This storm alone on the NAM would be significant.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yep the NAM is slower/stronger with the Sunday system and has the baroclinic some further south behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
