ConvectiveIA Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I find it tough to live in my geographic location for interacting on AmericanWX. I'm kind of a bit far west for this sub, but too far northeast for the OK/AR/KS/MO sub. And there are too few of us talkin' . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've always been a bit disappointed by the lack of members from the MS valley westward. We have a handful of great contributors, but wish we had more. The QCA is a fairly large metropolitan area, and I've always been surprised that I'm the only one who posts from this area lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 33F and rain in the heart of Winter is the most cruel pain mother nature can give you.

Snowstorms Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Looks like a dry cold pattern coming! As the pattern reshuffles, the PNA ridging shifts further West, as does the trough, and the SE ridge comes back beyond Feb 4th. What a disaster winter! Bring on Spring!

Hoosier Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 FWIW, here's the map I'm referring to Please note that each day consists of multiple outlooks and so it is possible for a grid point to receive multiple “hits” for being located in a Moderate or High risk outlook on the same day. In other words, if your location is located within 2 high risk outlooks, this does not guarantee that you will have two days of high risks. The location might simply be contained within a high risk from two separate outlooks issued for the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not a ton of F2+ activity in that high risk area when considering that this map covers 66 years. They are not complete strangers to tornadoes but it always has the potential to be a bit more dangerous when you put a higher end setup in an area that is not accustomed. Hopefully people are watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Looks like 15 people died in the tornadoes the last 2 days, I'm sure they are taking today even more seriously as it looks like the most impressive setup in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KokomoWX Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 IND AFD for this weeks events...Short Term: Quote That said, the bulk of the moisture will be north of central Indiana. So, stayed with chance pops north mainly north through Wednesday with chance pops northeast and slight chance southwest Wednesday night. Needless to say, not expecting anything more than a dusting of snow accumulation, if that. Long Term: Quote Moisture will be limited though and precipitation will mainly be confined to the northeastern quadrant of the forecast area. As temperatures dip into the 20s on Thursday night and remain at the freezing mark on Friday across those northeastern counties, precipitation will be in the form of snow. No accumulations are expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Found this page of significant snowstorms in the Paducah cwa, going back to the late 1800s. http://www.weather.gov/pah/SignificantSnowstorms How about this for an out of season event? Pretty remarkable to get that much snow that far south in late April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
