MNstorms Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Another system next week? This one looks like it could be a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Add in a potential severe threat in the lower OV with this system as well. Some of these runs, particularly on the euro and the ukie, are looking pretty potent. System looks to have an expansive warm sector with the 00z euro taking the 850mb 10c isotherm all the way to the MI/IN state line. Impressive.

CheeselandSkies Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well with this winter seems the Day 5-6 bulls eye is not where you want to be if you want big snows, so definitely worth keeping an eye on. *12Z GFS buries parts of C./S. WI on the 24th with a very sharp cutoff for the far southern tier of counties. Has Madison getting double digits (and Janesville almost nothing), so per the first line of this post that won't happen.

cyclone77 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Can envision the models over-amping this storm out in this time frame. Wouldn't be surprised to see the storm a little weaker/further southeast as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect the storm to trend weaker - but not sure about the S/E call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Honestly, I don't care what happens as long as the snowstorm doesn't just disappear from one run to the next. Just give us a high-end forecastable event to play around with for a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 No matter where it tracks, it seems like this is going to be a big one somewhere. The GFS seems to be on the west end of guidance, and the Canadian on the east. Should be an interesting one to track, but I wouldn't get invested until we're much closer.

stockwiz Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 GFS runs have been all over the place this winter. I won't trust the models until Friday. Euro has us getting the biggest storm of the season with 32-40 inches of total snow depth by a week from now, which is about double the 18" we are at now. This about sums it up this winter, if they are even right 1-2 days out. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maneee Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Actually considering doing a chase for this storm. If it comes a wee bit further east-- it'll be worth my while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clown maps make me jealous lol, but if the current winter pattern continues could be a late winter/early spring outbreak for the sub this year. We're due.

josh_4184 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Pretty Rare for APX to be hyping up the weekend storm so soon, especially being 5 days out with such detial, going to be an interesting next couple weeks with the pattern and storm tracks. Quote .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday) Issued at 345 PM EST Tue Feb 19 2019 ...Another storm this weekend... High Impact Weather Potential: Potentially very high. Extended models continue to be on board that there will be another deepening area of low pressure moving through the Great Lakes this weekend. In addition, extended models have trended farther northwest and much stronger. The ECMWF and Canadian have the low bombing out to as low as about 975 mb...all the while 1035 to 1040 mb high pressure sits across south central Canada! This would result in a tremendous pressure gradient across the region, especially Sunday afternoon into Sunday night which could generate very gusty winds. Lighter rain (possibly freezing) or snow Saturday into Saturday night is expected to be followed by mainly rain Sunday morning. Colder air (and increasingly gusty winds) then dives in behind the departing system likely changing rain over to snow Sunday afternoon (maybe even leading to a flash freeze). Am growing increasingly concerned that very gusty winds will result in very low visibilities from widespread blowing and drifting snow later Sunday into Sunday night (possibly even blizzard conditions). Lake effect snow showers likely to follow for early next week. Another low pressure system could impact the region during the Tuesday to Wednesday time frame. I am amazed at how active the weather has been over the last month and it looks like it will continue for a while longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have been watching this one for the last couple of days. Looks to be a rainer for NE IL and etc, but, given it's apparent strength, worth keeping an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Parameters are starting to align for sv wx for central and sw IN and se IL for Saturday afternoon and evening per 00z GFS. IND already telling spotters to keep abreast of the possibility for svr storms as we progress through this week and additional data become available. Might be wise to start a thread for the svr aspects of this system if trends continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 00z UK has gone south of other models, tracks the heavy precip(snow) band through southern and eastern Iowa and into southern Wisconsin. It's probably temporary before it goes back to northern Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The wind potential looks fairly decent with this, assuming it deepens as progged with much of the deepening occurring from the Plains to the Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I would watch the southern part of the region for severe too, that might even be thread worthy, Paducah was already talking up the potential down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nice bump southeast on the Euro. Heavy snows threaten the northwest portion of the DVN cwa on that run. Just need another bump or two southeast please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nice bump southeast on the Euro. Heavy snows threaten the northwest portion of the DVN cwa on that run. Just need another bump or two southeast please. Wouldn't be too surprised if it bumped more southeast, seems like a majority of the decent surface lows this winter have ended up southeast of the medium range operational model consensus.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roon Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Rapid deepening and being so negatively tilted usually means a more Northern track.....don't get too excited about the moves SE this far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roon Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 12 minutes ago, Baum said: that's a myth. Plenty more parameters go into a storms track than the idea that raped deepening pulls it northwest. That said, the pattern for the middle west the past 30 days is for them to cut hard once east of the big river. See nothing to change that.... Well then its a "myth" supported by CIPS analogs. There are a lot of parameters that go into everything - but there is nothing about "the big river" that would cause them to cut hard....unless there is someone telling them to hang a hard right at the big river...I suppose that could be happening? :).

MPX AFD: Quote here are several things to watch with this one. First, the track is still uncertain and models continue shifting around with each run. The overnight runs have shifted a tad further south, including the EPS mean. GEFS remains a bullish northern solution, impacting southwest to east central MN and northern WI hardest. Deterministic track guidance is pretty consistent taking the low across northern MO into southeastern WI. Usually this is a bit south of the ideal track for heavy snow locally and the forecast overnight has trended in that direction. It should be noted that highly negatively- tilted systems and strong cyclones tend to migrate northward as time closes in. Second, the amount of moisture with this system will be quite high and moisture advection is expected to be impressive given the wind field. Therefore, we may have to contend with mixed precip or rain across portions of the area depending how far north the system tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
