Potential major winter storm - Feb 24-25 PART II

Recommended Posts

Man,I'm starting to get worried I'm a bit too far east now haha. Luckily the trend has been colder as well as NW. Safely below freezing right now, with an earlier starting time I don't see it getting up to 36 as forecasted.

 

I don't think you'll be wanting to take a toaster bath after this one is over. Thinks you're in a darn decent spot.

WILX (local news station) just upped all of Southern Michigan to a foot (sans the Branch-Hillsdale-Lenawee area's who got upped to 8-9) saying they talked to the NWS and after looking at models they feel the Euro and Canadian are going to win this one.

 

Anyone willing to explain this?

 

I think your question has been answered  to your liking in what you heard was the NWS  opinion.  You're getting a lot of snow..no matter what model you pull out of the hat.

They could also be biting their tongues/fingers so as not to respond to a few INSISTING this going east...

 

yeah i suppose but i think everyone has been pretty good considering. I just think they're more biting their nails to something could go wrong yet to make it very pedestrian over  something to remember

Hahh. I have that slight anxiety I too will wake up tomorrow morning and everything will be 100 miles east. This winter has been tough on us all!

they could have said what they just did in the afternoon AFD.  whatever maybe right along lake in kenosha can pull and inch or two i suppose..  I just don't see any surprises at all in wi and if anything i could see more of a shutout unless you're close to the border where a band might set up for a bit to the north down south more by geos area..

WPC says "compromise!"

 

...STRENGTHENING UPPER LOW LIFTING FROM THE OZARKS TOWARD THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES...
...ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW/ATTENDANT BOUNDARIES...

PRELIMINARY PREFERENCE: BLEND OF THE 00Z GFS/12Z ECMWF
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY TONIGHT SHOWED AN IMPRESSIVE CLOSED UPPER LOW
SPINNING OVER SOUTHERN AR. WELL ESTABLISHED COMMA-HEAD
PRECIPITATION WAS FALLING OVER THE OZARKS AND TOWARD THE SOUTHERN
LOW PLAINS. MEANWHILE...ABUNDANT CONVECTION WAS PREVALENT ACROSS
MUCH OF THE EASTERN GULF COAST EXTENDING UP INTO THE TN VALLEY.
ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIFT NORTH AND EAST AS THE COMPACT UPPER
LOW BEGINS TO LATERALLY EXPAND AND DEEPEN. REGARDING THE SURFACE
LOW TRACK...THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME WEST/EAST DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE MODELS WITH THE GFS SUITE SUPPORTING A CYCLONE
NORTHWESTERN OH BY 25/0000Z WHILE THE ECMWF SOLUTIONS FAVOR
SOMETHING ON THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE. OF COURSE THIS HAS
RAMIFICATIONS ON HOW FAR WEST THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD WILL EXTEND
BACK INTO IL/WI. IT IS DIFFICULT TO IGNORE HOW CONSISTENT THE GFS
HAS BEEN WITH THIS SOLUTION THOUGH. THE GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS IN
THE SCATTER LOW PLOT ARE REMARKABLY SIMILAR TO ONE ANOTHER DURING
THE DAY 1 PERIOD. THIS IS NOTED IN THE 12Z CYCLE AS WELL AS THE
00Z CYCLE THE PREVIOUS DAY. THE PREFERENCE WILL SPLIT THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO CAMPS WITH A 00Z GFS/12Z ECMWF BLEND
AS THE RECOMMENDATION.
