nvck Posted Sunday at 06:32 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:32 PM never started a topic before, but figured this storm could use one, as it's got the potential to be a significant event for our area... went ahead and x-posted the latest gefs/eps MSLP products from the other thread 29 minutes ago, nvck said: GEFS has trended a little bit stronger, and maybe slightly farther north over the past couple runs, and the EPS has trended stronger, and clustering around Chicago the past several runs. Someone will have to cave soon.... 18z NAM should be interesting, with this system showing up at the end of the run. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted Monday at 01:31 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:31 AM Definitely has an ugly look to it, but we do jump to the mid 30’s pretty quickly and a lot of the precip is convective in nature so that should keep accretion down a bit.

IWXwx Posted Monday at 03:28 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:28 PM Even though the zr signal is there, I would think that the high off of the Atlantic coast on both the Euro and GFS would need to be positioned more to the northwest in Ontario to keep the feed of cold air coming. There might be some significant ice, but without a prolonged cold air feed, it will probably be short-lived.

sbnwx85 Posted Monday at 08:08 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:08 PM Still waiting for AFD's to come out, but my P&C went from little to no ice accumulation to 0.1 to 0.2 for Wednesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSNOW Posted Monday at 08:28 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:28 PM Chicago NWS Taken altogether, this leads to an expectation for highly variable ice accumulation amounts across our area, ranging from a few hundredths near the Wisconsin state line to perhaps locally 0.25 to 0.33" in the wake of convective cores (near/south of the I-88 corridor?). Regardless of the eventual uneven ice amounts, we will have to issue a Winter Weather Advisory for some if not all of our area for the Wednesday evening into early Thursday morning timeframe for hazardous travel conditions, downed tree limbs, and localized power outages.

The March 3, 2023 winter storm locally had a tremendous amount of thunder/lightning reported throughout SE MI. I was able to actual personally experience thundersnow and thundersleet/freezing rain both during that event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had reporters out in the field who heard thundersnow that day but I didn't actually get to hear it myself. I also slept through thundersnow during GHD Blizzard I. I'll bag one, one of these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted Monday at 11:45 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:45 PM Looks like a thin glaze possible here, but heavier precip shunts east, so not too impressed for this area. Perhaps later runs will bump heavier precip back northwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted yesterday at 12:24 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:24 AM There was so much thundersnow during the April 2018 Blizzard here that the novelty of it *almost* wore off for a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cary67 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Recent model runs seem to be drying out qpf ice accumulations further north of I80. Thankfully in this case trend of weaker and/or further SE solutions continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Tenth of an inch of ice seems like a solid bet. Someone will jackpot around two tenths. Then it all melts Thursday morning and we do it again Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvck Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago NAM3 is definitely an outlier in SW ohio, selling widespread 0.1-0.15", but idk if anyone's noticed that it's been way colder than other models these past few weeks. Like, it's got KLUK with a high of 42 on thursday, and the model avg is 50, with HRRR and NBM higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago This looks like a fairly minor "event" around here... Probably a glaze of ice and dusting of snow/sleet/ice pellets. The Euro was most bullish for a while, but then collapsed to the rest of guidance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in dry weather. They don’t mix the boundary layer enough and seem to overcompensate for snow cover too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
