I was getting the 00z run at first but then it changed to 12z. I paused at 132 hours and there are some interesting analogs on there, some of which featured severe weather fairly far north.

daddylonglegs Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 La Crosse .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY A STRONG STORM SYSTEM LOOKS TO DRIVE ACROSS THE REGION RIGHT AROUND THE NEW YEAR/S HOLIDAY...AND IT COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE LOCAL AREA. CURRENT SOLUTIONS WOULD PULL SO MUCH WARM AIR AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM THAT MUCH OF WHAT WOULD FALL ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WOULD BE RAIN...WITH HEAVY SNOWS ACROSS THE PLAINS INTO IA/MN. CAN/T RULE OUT ANY FREEZING PCPN AT THIS MOMENT...AND THERE ARE EVEN HINTS THAT SOME THUNDER IS POSSIBLE. AN UGLY MIX LEADING UP...AND INTO THE NEW YEAR. OF COURSE...ITS ENTIRELY TOO EARLY TO PULL ANY DETAILS OUT OF THE FORECAST AT THIS MOMENT. HOWEVER...ANY OF THE POTENTIAL SCENARIOS WILL IMPACT TRAVEL ACROSS THE REGION...AND POSSIBLY SOME SIGNIFICANT HYDRO CONCERNS. IF ITS MOSTLY RAIN...THE WARM RAIN ON THE DEEP SNOW PACK WILL RESULT IN A LARGE RUNOFF INTO FROZEN RIVERS/STREAMS...LEADING TO ICE JAMS AND FLOODING. THIS POTENTIAL CANNOT BE DISCOUNTED. OF COURSE...IF THE STORM MOVES A BIT MORE EAST...ITS HEAVY SNOW FOR US. SO...A VERY CLOSE EYE WILL BE KEPT ON THE EVOLUTION OF THIS STORM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it just updated for me also, that is pretty impressive this far out. Normally when MARS picks up on stuff this far out my interest is peaked.

TimChgo9 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Interesting pattern. Not sure if I am ready to jump on the current track. Too far out. I'll give it to Wed, because I think the forecast storm track will probably change between now and then. Now, given the current track so far NW of us, and the fact that the large amt of moisture etc, will result in rain/thunderstorms, what happens if this storm tracks S of the GL? What is the snow potential, given the moisture that there will be to work with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the kind of ridging progged, this storm will NOT go S of the GL...if anything, it will shift even farther NW...the ridge would have to verify significantly weaker than what is progged.

JoMo Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 yeah, hopefully that ridge goes away. (it probably won't ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 yeah, hopefully that ridge goes away. (it probably won't ) This should be good for some of the area's that haven't gotten as much snow, MI/ON. If the ridge stays in place across the Southeast.

Omahawx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 People like me that have only seen what about 3 inches of snow this month deserve this storm. So I am highly hoping it takes the ideal track from kansas city to des moines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, though Yeah but you know how these La Nina's are down your way JoMo, I'd be happy with any snow you get because La Nina's from what I remember don't cash in for you down there.

Moneyman Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 If anyone deserves snow, it's probably bow. I got a 10 inch storm here about 50-60 miles NW of him (he got like 1 inch I believe). Racine is getting clocked tonight (MKE was supposed to get 3-4 inches) and he probably has 1 inch of snow on the ground right now. He's gotten screwed so many times this winter. Hell, even the southern states has more snow then him. Neb. has gotten rocked the past few winters I believe anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yeah, even as bad as this winter has been we did eek out a 6" snow here. To me, that just sounds wrong lol. "As bad as this winter has been...". We have not gotten the insane snow that MN has gotten, and we also have seen one too many snows hit areas to our south. However, December has had average snowfall and way below average temps. IMO, that is not bad at all. Heres an interesting statistic, Detroit averages 49 days per winter with 1"+ of snow on the ground. Of those 49 days, 30 average 3"+ depth, and 15 average 5"+ depth. With the 5" snow depth at DTW today, this already marks day #13 with snow depth of 5"+ at the 7am observation time. So, should the depth stay at 5" tomorrow and Monday (which it likely will), we will already hit our seasonal average 5" snowcover days by December 27th. And I do agree, MKE needs some snow. I do, however, think that this *could* potentially be the beginning of a real Nina pattern. Meaning, we may not have a non-budging snowpack for weeks at a stretch like we have now, but more crazy temps and storms should have us all see a doozy of a snowstorm by winters end. BTW, back on topic, IF the 18z GFS verified (just saying that phrase is wrong on so many levels), we would only peak around 40F, way less than the 50s the last several runs showed, which would likely not erode the entire snowpack.

TheWeatherPimp Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I understand what LOT is saying about the baroclinic zone/snow pack, but I am not sure in my opinion that the snow pack will have an influence on this particular storm track. For one, with several days of warmer air ahead of the system, we will likely have a dwindling snow pack, and with the models forecasting this system to be strengthening as it moves across the Midwest and eventually occluding, I think ultimately this baby is going to get pulled to the North and eventually Northwest.

Yeah Josh I know you are a snow depth guy but I'm more of a snow amount guy, I'd take 3 +12" if they melted 5 days after over having snow on the ground all winter. In other words the 07-08 and 08-09 winters were awesome with big storms all winter even if it didn't stay on the ground for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
