Concerns me that the euro keeps it fairly weak. I guess it all depends on the phasing interaction which hopefully will be figured out by the models by mon. Liking the GEM looks and apparently so is DTX. Overnight more bullish than I can remember this office being: The quiet weather comes to an end Wednesday as the next winter storm targets the region. Unlike many of the recent systems that have curled north over the Midwest keeping us on the warm side of the storm, models have held firm with a more southern track with the surface and mid level lows tracking from Texas (Wed 00Z) up to Ohio (Thurs 00Z) with southern MI solidly on the northwestern flank of the system. Many ingredients are becoming favorable for an accumulating snowfall over the area. The surface low will be maturing near the area, favorable mid level deformation noses into the southern Great Lakes, entrance region dynamics from an exiting jet and exit region dynamics from rapidly approaching jet, deformation region passing over the area, and a wealth of moisture to name a few. Just how much snow will fall remains in question as we are still 5 days out and a shift south would keep us more in a light snow scenario, and north could push heaviest snow to the north. For now we`ll highlight the potential for accumulating snowfall Wednesday morning through the overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago916 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Looks like the energy for this storm didn't quite make it to land prior to 12z runs but might just in time for 18z if that changes anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canopy of this storm, as currently projected, looks to be quite large as long as you're NW of the low track.. This type of storm track is typically a solid 6-10” for the region absolutely. Still the model spread won’t be clear until Monday night 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think a little bit more N stream interaction will be back in play and shift the swath a bit NW more in line with the 21/0z GEM's portrayal. Can we get a 989 mb curving up just to our east like it shows (ala PV Bliz) Idk. One can hope. 9 minutes ago, nwohweather said: This type of storm track is typically a solid 6-10” for the region absolutely. Still the model spread won’t be clear until Monday night Yep.

Every legit snowstorm west of us this winter has shown the same weaker outlook and then trended upwards closer in to game time. Be surprised if this throws that trend out a window.

While msp has had a good winter and this most recent storm delivered for NE, most of the systems this winter have been pretty weak and trended downward. This one, while a long ways to go, is trending in the weaker direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 Consensus track starting to form with the operationals anyways. Not been a good trend for MBY on the past two runs. The naysayers maybe right again. At some point, we need to reverse the SE progressive slider curse. Still time. Heads to Michiana or Ohio I'll be headed that way mid week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Wow. I get it that it's been puke-worthy so far, but give this some time, like a few days before throwing towels (you ORD Peeps).

RCNYILWX Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Still have to wait on the Euro for our final 12z operational data point, but did want to note that the foreign models (12z GEM and UKMET and 00z Euro) have a more expansive precip shield with light to moderate snow accums farther north. The GFS has the sharp NW cutoff that's seemingly more common in these setups. This is despite relatively similar surface low tracks and mid and upper level depictions. There's probably another physical reason beyond this, but simplest way to see the difference is that foreign models have much higher 850 mb RH farther north than the GFS.

sbnwx85 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Based on recent trends this should end up being an advisory level event here. But we should build up a decent snowpack with the clipper following right behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk It does seem a little strange that the GFS doesn't bring some light precip farther north. The mid level features don't seem prohibitively far south. Also don't really have a robust surface high to dramatically reinforce/suppress the northwest end of the precip shield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Euro has more of a spread the wealth light to moderate snow event for many with a steady state low. Seems like the energy is really going into the costal transfer and ramping up a big nor'easter. But curious if we really will get the snow shield to expand that nw.

I've seen way quicker coastal transfers than this. It actually gets going pretty late... so late that it doesn't do anything for the big I-95 cities (inland track of the secondary doesn't help them either) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Because the GFS is more of an outlier now, I'm currently leaning toward the foreign guidance to be more likely on the right track. The warning type event is less likely, but that may not mean a whiff (maybe ALEK was onto something haha).

I was speaking more from the low strength perspective. Before it was sub 1000mb and even strengthening. However, now it seems to be more of a steady state low 1000's but in the scheme of things it doesn't really impact how it's going to evolve here in the Midwest/Ohio Valley.
