In fact, it looks like it could be snowing here for ~24 hours with little/no breaks. It is one of the reasons why I am fairly bullish on getting over 4"... in a short duration storm, there is less time to make up ground if you get off to a bad start. Yeah, 18z NAM has nearly 24 hours of snow for the Chicago metro area when you get added support on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The southern piece is in the US and has been for a couple days so if there will be any sampling surprises it will be with the northern stream and that has been trending positively all day. Also the window is closing as this is rapidly approaching 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High and low of 2/-16 Good luck to those south of 42N. I need the snowpack to build up to damper any future warmups this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherMonger Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 3 hours ago, StormChaser4Life said: DVN isn't impressed: The 12Z model suite has shown more phasing than past runs with the upcoming system. The QPF has shifted north, resulting in models producing typical advisory levels of snow over the CWA and the rest of northern IL. However, no model run has really indicated a closed mid level circulation in this phasing, thus the precipitation should be mainly driven by WAA and not be long lasting or heavy in the cold side of the system (not a persistent def zone). While I am on board with increasing pops to likely for this event, we may not have a cold boundary layer over our region, and that could greatly limit any snow accumulation until the Arctic front arrives Wednesday night, and once again, unless there`s reason to draw moisture back over the cold air, that process should shut down the widespread rain/snow. Snow showers may develop with low level lapse rates peaking in the gusty Arctic transition. ILX wasn't very hyped either. Less than 72 hours out and still showing something for us, I'm once again on the southern fringe of things which is fine if it stays that way, but any nudge north and it could be the difference between all or mostly nothing. Why can't we get another GHD event that spreads the wealth for many, yet not everyone. Haven't had a bowling ball type event in awhile that could gibe a majority a good event. One of these winters has to break open, maybe, possibly, hopefully....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read that over the years but is there really any basis to it lol? The models all use the same RAOBs and stuff so it kind of doesn't make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
