Hoosier Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Even accounting for some weakening with eastward extent, I am liking the look of upstream radar. Perhaps a slight northward adjustment to the heavier band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a slight northward adjustment to the heavier band. Looks like the HRRR dropped a tenth of QPF off for you as well, as compared to the earlier runs. Hope the bleeding stops soon. DVN sounding shows a fairly significant dry layer that is taking awhile to saturate. Snow onset is now over 2hrs late for MLI. So much for bucking the trend for the last event. I guess the Mon night event overachieved, but would have liked to see a more substantial event overachieve. Guess we'll have to hope next season isn't so wussy in that regard.

Radtechwxman Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Rain snow line absolutely flying north on CC. It was suppose to stay south of I74 and it has already passed it and still moving north. Looks like NAM may have been right for once. Definitely not what I was expecting. All rain here now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would even be tempted to add an inch or so more but do have concern that accumulation could largely end after 9-10 am as precip rates decrease and the late August like sun angle rears its head.

Well after onset of precip is over 2hrs late and the HRRR is ratcheting down I definitely take notice lol. Hopefully the precip overperforms to make up for the late start.
