Nov. 25th-26th Midwest Snowstorm Potential

Really starting to get some GHD I vibes with how tomorrow evening is starting to look, more so on the CAM's..

Getting nice signal now for convection to develop across central Illinois in the mid-level dry slot in conjuction with daytime heating and some SBCAPE down there as the mid-level height falls spread over that region, steepening the mid-level lapse rates with the colder temperatures under the H5 cold pocket. That convection then flies north on the wings of the 50-60kt flow off the deck in the warm conveyor belt and turn NW and curls into the CCB. Timing may be a bit earlier but location is fairly reminiscent of GHD I and this sort of scenario led to lots of TSSN that evening across north central and northeast Illinois. 

Will be interesting to see more HRRR runs overnight and tomorrow and how they handle this. I think the chances at TSSN are quite good tomorrow evening.

Definitely interested in that and if it can drag the rain/snow line south/east a little faster than progged.

Hope you get to see some thundersnow man.  This certainly looks like a setup that should put out.  Wonder if Cantore will head into Chicago for this event?

New Euro probably the most conservative for this area on tonight's runs, and still delivers 12-13" (assuming 10:1 LSR).  Don't ever want to kick back and relax and say it's a slam dunk, but at this point there's really nothing negative I can say about very heavy snow prospects for the QCA.  8-12" with isolated higher amounts is probably what I would put out for a forecast, but I think most of the area will be on the higher end of that.

If we actually get the full 7 inches here the Euro is saying, I'll eat my hat.

It's been consistent in dropping that six inch snow across the northern tier of Indiana counties for several runs now. My money is on 2-4 across the northern IWX CWA considering this and what short range models are showing.

Consistency of the Euro for several model cycles is enough for me to give it more weight than the other op models in not being too concerned about some of our warning counties not verifying.

Hey, do you know where to get a good map of current lake water temps?  I have seen a few but they seem to be inconsistent with each other.  One of the maps I saw still had an area of 50 degree water temps to the south of the south mid lake buoy, but I'm not sure if it's legit.

This what I have used but I don't know how accurate it is.

Another model (WRF-ARW2) that has just come in has over 2" of precip as mostly all snow.  The 10:1 snow map shows 26" near the Mississippi river.  Yeah, likely overdone but geez.  In all my years of tracking storms I've never seen such juiced up model QPF this close to the event, and from so many different models.

Just comparing the HRRR run at hr 10 for 06z, there is a definite trend through the day of the low coming into MO further south. Also I would like to note KC is expanded their blizzard warnings south to cover the Metro. Too bad the Chiefs don't play this week at home, would be fun game to watch.

I guess this happened like 3 hours ago but Kansas City metro added to Blizzard Warnings. Mentioning only because it is a major metro area.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
947 PM CST Sat Nov 24 2018

...Blizzard Conditions and Very Dangerous Travel Expected
Sunday...

.A very strong storm system will track across the region from
early Sunday morning through Sunday evening. Rain will quickly
change to snow with snow rates across northern Missouri and
northeastern Kansas exceeding one inch per hour at times Sunday.
The heaviest snow is expected to be north of I-70, where 5 to 9
inches of snow is expected, with localized heavier amounts
possible. Along and south of I-70 lower snow totals in the 1 to 5
inches are expected, with the lower amounts south of Route 50.
The powerful storm will also produce very strong winds with gusts
to around 45 mph at times. The combination of heavy snow and
strong winds will lead to white out conditions and very dangerous
travel on area roadways. As a result, travel across the region on
Sunday is highly discouraged.

...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO 9 PM CST SUNDAY...

* WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations
  of 2 to 4 inches expected. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph.

* WHERE...Portions of east central and northeast Kansas and west
  central Missouri.

* WHEN...From 9 AM to 9 PM CST Sunday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Blowing
  snow could significantly reduce visibility.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If
you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get
stranded, stay with your vehicle.

You beat me to the KC Blizzard Warning by 3 minutes.
