EURO always seems to be playing catch up these days. Between both waves, it looks like the area will end up with its deepest snow cover since November 22nd.

CMC about the same as last night. Shaved about an inch off in far eastern IL. Hawkeye and Cyclone should be in for a solid 4"+ .

Would rather be farther west obviously but should be able to manage a few inches Sunday-Monday, and then we'll see after that.

I don't trust the ECMWF qpf with this.

 

 

i'm feeling a lot better discounting it as this point

 

nice consensus for around .25-.30 at ORD with good ratios

DGZ looks to be pretty darn thick for most of us. Quality environment to get some nice fluffy totals even if the liquid amounts don't pan out. We're gonna see some nice surprises with this system.

This thing should be fully sampled by tonight no?

The wave will not be fully sampled until 12z tomorrow.

Good points about the DGZ depth. Even the Euro liquid equivalent could fluff up to 2-4" here if we get ~20:1 ratios, which are certainly possible with that deep of a DGZ. Also the fact that it's a Pacific wave rather than a true clipper so moisture quality could be decent. GFS is showing an envelope of above normal pwat as the system tracks southeast despite the Arctic airmass in place.

Always seems to be surprises with clippers for better or worse, but I think there's good reasons to be optimistic for a solid advisory type event for MN, IA, northern IL, southern WI and possibly into northwest IN.
