January 5-6 Thing II: STORM MODE

It's not just LWX with this storm ... EAX (KC) also working with uncertainty:

The overall forecast
remains on track, with the only change being a slight increase
in snow totals for a corridor roughly 30 miles north and south
of US Highway 36 and a slight decrease in snow totals for our
southern counties. This has only increased/tightened the already
large snowfall gradient that has set up over the Interstate 70
corridor and the KC metro, as snowfall could range from a foot
near KCI to only 4" or so across Cass County.

I like that it’s an increase north and decrease south!  :wub:

Didn't the ICON bump north a bit too?

Yes, there’s tons of mixed messages being thrown around in here. The only 18z model that didn’t come north at least some was the RGEM. The GFS was about the same as 12z but was better with qpf on the northern periphery. Euro up to bat shortly.

I’m hoping it’s earlier as I run the QPF desk tonight again. Pretty delicate situation. I will say one of the best areas right now seems to lie between I-70 and Rt50. Almost any solution throws out WSW criteria snowfall, so I’d feel great if you are between that zone. 

LWX doesn’t, lol, although my updated watch is still calling for warning level snow and possible banding for 10”. i understand of course that i might end up with 3”. but i’ll make pot roast either way so it’ll be a win/win situation. :snowwindow:

I’m running behind schedule (apologies) and heading back out until the 0z, but I’m speaking imby. Dc is in great shape (beautiful spot for this storm), but us northern crew need some help from that secondary max that’s been thrown around as a possibility on “not enough” models so far.

Something to pay attention to within 24 hours on the meso models is the potential for the dual banding to set up…one south and another north like many Mets here have talked about.  

GFS sort of shows this happening here.

brighter blue south of DCA is fronto forcing… north of DCA is likely your overrunning which gfs always has a hard time with.  I suppose subsidence could be an issue between bands but that like the other things noted above is now casting stuff.
