cyclone77 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 2-3" of fresh powder looking likely for the QCA with the Saturday night clipper. The Monday one looks to mostly miss northeast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference I'd say is the 2nd wave looks to produce better than then the 3rd wave which appears to be targeting Wisky more. All said, a 2"-4" fluffer with 3 separate waves is still modeled. Crosses fingers and hopes last wave slows down a touch, takes a more south track and hooks up with the southern stream. Pipe dream, I know, but it's all we have.

mimillman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Seeing the euro develop some snow showers along the frontal boundary with wave 3. I feel like those tend to overperform? Still bullish these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 It's looking like 1, maybe 2 inches if we're lucky, on the southern edge of the early Sunday clipper snow band. Cyclone may do a little better. A few spots a county or two north of me may get 3-4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Northern IL/Chicago metro centric Wave 1: DAB, slight concern for freezing drizzle mixed with light snow/flurries after the initial fast moving snow band. Wave 2: Looks good with a currently favorable track for most except perhaps far northeast IL. Also favorable is the very deep DGZ with the moderate omega well aligned. Should be a fluffy, high ratio snow except on far northern fringe. Narrow enhanced f-gen band could put down a corridor of 3-4", outside shot at 4-5" if rates really max out and ratios are over 20:1. The main limiting factor is duration with only about 6 hours of solid snow to work with. Wave 3: Track has ticked south a bit, but still too far north for more than 2-3, maybe 4 hours of snow in the warm advection wing of the clipper. Any farther south we can get the track the better. Not uncommon to have brief heavy rates in these setups due to strong isentropic ascent from the warm advection and steep mid-upper level lapse rates.

Brian D Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Dusting that got blown all over. Any official measurement will be from snow that blew in on the board.

Chicago Storm Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 A scattered DAB is locked in for early tomorrow morning across parts of the area. Then you can easily lock in 1-3” for much of the area tomorrow night into Sunday morning as well.Monday is still a wild card it appears.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
