mitchnick Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 6z Canadian gets precip in here on Sunday. ....but it's a mix, even with 850 temps at -5c! Ugh I guess a better place to start than with rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh I guess a better place to start than with rain. Just saw it Mitch. Looks like precip is still on Monday from what I saw. I can double check. Either way, looked like sleet with a warm layer probably somewhere between 850 and 700mb given the southwest component of the winds. A very dicey period on the horizon. GFS looks icy north of Rt 50.

You're right. It is Monday, but the temp map on meteocentre.com says Sunday. That's gotta be wrong, so the 850's must be warmer too. No worries. 12z will be different.

Scraff Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 CAD is very hard to scour out. —weenie handbook page 5. I think we could score some snow to sleet/ice on a SW wind. We’ve done it before right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I am not a fan of trending to warmer temperatures, I was really enjoying this massive cold spell. I see some 50s temps ahead, that does nothing for anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If it stays as cold as forecasts say over the weekend I think regardless of the type of precip that falls from the sky there's going to be some slick spots. Sidewalks and bridges etc. I'm doubting too disruptive but I'm sure someone on this forum goes down hopefully a student so that mattieg might feel a little guilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Euro, i wasnt horrified by what i saw on 850 panels period of back and forth, but no prolonged torch. Like Bob said, beyond that...shrug shoulders. edit - looking upstairs, all 3 ensembles 500's at 240 are in quite similar agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I am loving the look of that system the models are advertising for next weekend. The GFS has a nice HP right where we want it over the lakes. And it tracks south of us. The Euro has the HP but it is moving out and the storm cuts to the west of us. That one is worth watching IMO. I might not cancel winter before the tenth after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some 50s temps ahead, that does nothing for anyone! We get those kinds of temps every winter. Hoping here it re-shuffles things a bit so the next time it gets cold it isn't quite as cold and we get a better storm track for our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I"m all aboard the CMC train. Would rather have the snow than the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably won't know how quickly it moves in until 48-72 hour leads. It still has more precip than the GFS, but it has been trending drier if you cycle through its last four runs. ETA: 3 runs is probably better, as that leaves out most of yesterday's event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Really nice warm up coming. We should hit 60s. Potential energy for stormy pattern is on the increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the amounts originally spit out for a sheared/progressive system seemed way too high. .5qpf is a big stretch but .2-.3 isn't. All comes down to timing. This is a very tough year in the med range. Seems the timing of shortwaves off the Pac is driving models nuts as you go out in time. I think the easiest way to look at it is if precip arrives between 12-18z it can/might be frozen. If it holds off until after 18z then warmth will probably win at the surface until you get up north.

(But it could also trend wetter in short range--also a trend this winter as a whole, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 CMC shows how we win the gradient game for the 13-14th. Both the GEFS/EPS backed off on the idea overnight but the lead time is monsterous. Any time an op shows how you can win is a good thing either way. Idea is still on the table...until it isn't...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 CMC is on board for the event next weekend as well. Nice HP to the north and a good track for us. A long way to go but pretty good model agreement about an event next weekend. Edit: And Bob is just a ninja assassin on this board.

RevWarReenactor Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So we are hanging our hat on the CMC without other model support? Didn't it not do that well with the last storm? Doesn't give me much faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have a low coming at us from the south with cold close by. Nice to see both models agree on a storm in the same timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
