cyclone77 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Looking forward to some Iowa sloppy seconds Saturday night. New SPC day 5 has central IA outlooked for severe. May make a run at 60 today, and should easily be in the 60s tomorrow. May make a run at 70 Saturday with more humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloppy seconds season getting started early. Saturday may turn out to be my earliest season chase day since 3/15/16 (dismissed the northern extent of 2/28/17 out of hand because of the calendar, won't make that mistake again).

My modelling method is suggesting some potential there, but precip type will be an issue. Should be plenty of ice over the west side of the Lake to keep cold air in play. Ice over to snow is very likely. The upcoming week, although not as cold as previous days, is plenty cold enough to keep making ice, especially during the overnights. Some breezy weather will cause breakups, but there is going to be calmer winds mixed in there, too, which will help with ice formation. Right now, the entire west side of the Lake is ice covered, but it's on the thin side. Lake ice will be a big factor for my weather next weekend. Looks like something is in the offing for the weekend, and it does look messy for MN. Rain/frz rain/sleet/snow. Well, that's March for ya. Plenty of ice here as the W half of the Lake is pretty covered. Weather has been generally calm, and will be until the weekend, so ice is forming, and thickening. That will keep a nice cold layer here, which could spell ice accumulations to start things off if a mid level warm layer makes it this far.

CheeselandSkies Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Apparently no one is interested in the severe threat for Saturday. SPC introduced an area centered on Iowa for Day 5 yesterday, and this morning expanded it to include parts of southwest WI and western IL. A bit optimistic IMO given the paltry instability values forecast, but seasonally high dewpoints for this latitude coupled with a strong negatively tilted 500mb shortwave and surface low always bears watching. We need the rain at any rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 DLH thinking at this point. Ice is the big issue here. March 2010 was the biggest ice event that I remember with 1-2" along the N Shore. Lots of damage to the forest. Guess we shall see as this event nears. Messy is an apt word here for the area as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 If it's going to snow now...this is how you do it I guess. Totals are from two systems in the next 10 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has only been above freezing here one time since Christmas eve when I recorded 33 degrees and the forecast doesn't have a temp above freezing for at least the next seven days, although that can change quick this time of the year. Average high/low for March 3rd is 30/10... still solid winter climo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but currently the point forecast has the highest temp only reaching 31. The cold lake should limit the warmth from surging too far north at the surface. We'll see...I may end up with 35 and rain at some point before transitioning back to snow and ending, hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 DLH latest thinking has 3-6" of heavy, wet snow for me, with up to 1/2" ice in N WI/W U.P. with possible thunder. That's ugly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
