Feb. 14-17th Clipper Systems


HillsdaleMIWeather

Recommended Posts

0Z GFS has still been showing a Clipper System entering the Northern Subforum towards 0Z Monday morning and effecting the area through the day, due to the slightly long time frame (for a clipper) 0Z GFS with Kuchera Ratio is showing 4-7 inches from the system (the 18Z GFS showed slightly more)

It's not much, but it's something to track.

Probably still early for a thread but whatever, it is a clipper so I would hedge my bets lower than 4-7" maybe something along the lines of 2-4"

 

Of course it could over-perform, but I digress. IWX was mentioning some potentially sig. LES before this storm system which could boost totals for the lake shore counties.

 

Reminds me of the clipper last month.

this is definitely more of a hybrid system with a clear pac component, biggest risk remains a disjointed weak miss to the south a la the euro

The 00z Euro shows quite a bit of snow for Indiana and especially eastern Ohio (not sure about total QPF, but I can see the 3-hr QPF values), and misses Illinois almost completely. So this may be something to watch for Pittsburgh-Cleveland-Indianapolis-Louisville. As of yesterday there were a few runs GFS that showed a 1-3" event for Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. I was previously thinking that southerly wind with a clipper never produces much more than 2" for Indiana/Ohio. Because southerly wind is bad for snow. I could be wrong.

12z Euro is similar to the 00z Euro. The Gulf moisture is getting into this storm, and the storm amplifies into Pennsylvania. Central Ohio is back and forth with 5400m thickness (rain/snow line). Definitely worth watching for Columbus-Indianapolis!! Rainstorm for Pennsylvania + East Coast major cities.

 

here's what I am seeing

given the setup and seasonal trends, i'd definitely favor the euro solution over the stronger northern stream idea hinted on the 12z GEFS

 

would be cautiously optimistic in OH
