CTWeatherFan Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 DTX just added Livingston County to WWA area (1-4").http://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=MIZ068&warncounty=MIC093&firewxzone=MIZ068&local_place1=3%20Miles%20ESE%20Howell%20MI&product1=Winter+Weather+Advisory&lat=42.5985&lon=-83.8755#.VwhDbMArLx4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Sun came out for an hour or so. The clouds to the north with the snow definitely look convective. Should be ripping in about an hour or so. You're going to get clocked. With each passing snow shower the ground is slowly whitening up. Down to freezing here. Center of mesolow approaching Hartford.

Geos Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Last snow shower the visibility went down to 100 feet. Grass is obviously dusted. 30° now. We're going to hit with the eastern feeder band UMB. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=MKX-N0Q-0-6# Almost looks like a secondary low near Racine.

UMB WX Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 never seen a wall of snow come in like this..sick.. grass whitened in a min. winter may have sucked but we've had our share of interesting events to keep it chill Barely make out neighbors mailbox a hundred yards away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 A bit disappointing here, I'm not going to lie. Looks like a mini screw zone. Snow peaked at low end moderate and it was pretty small flake size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Potent area of snow west of here moving towards Du Page. Edit: Visibility way down there around 100 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Potent area of snow west of here moving towards Du Page. Edit: Visibility way down there around 100 feet. Saving grace for sure with this crappy pattern has been the interesting weather with these clippers due to steep rates and low freezing levels. Pretty noteworthy for multiple occurrences of significant visibility reductions around the area within a week in April. Overnight tomorrow night could have a decent period of snow to wintry mix too with a cold dry airmass in place to start yielding a stout wet bulb response until the WAA overcomes.

It's been an interesting month that's for sure. Today was a lot like last Saturday. Another 0.9" with this latest batch. 1.8" for the day. Looks like some LES brushing the shoreline right now.

Noticed some model output even hinting at a little freezing rain during the transition, but I'm not sure how long it would last given time of year and southerly low level flow.

RCNYILWX Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 And now you're getting LES in a few minutes. Getting pretty chilly out there with the snow on the ground. Regarding the LES, definitely more of a multiband setup now but it appears low level convergence will align better in the next few hours to get a nice single band to develop as the high res guidance is depicting and it looks like that may be starting to take place over the lake.I wonder if it sets up a bit west of the farthest east guidance with the band given closer to due north flow, or a stronger single band farther east and a weaker but still decent band west. Already a good LES setup in place over Lake Michigan and forecast soundings I looked at earlier today were showing equilibrium levels peaking over 12kft and lake induced CAPE of 500 + j/kg early in the morning.

However the very low starting dewpoints and overnight timing do increase chances some. Did include freezing rain in the grids for much of the area but with a very minimal accumulation of up to .01" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
