mimillman Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 It’ll become more clear in a few hours with radar sig, but I think the floor is safely 1-2” for those north of I-80 as consensus has grown for a 2-3 hour period of heavy WAA this afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I’m just going to expect 1-2” here today and anything else is a bonus. Models are really making this a fun one to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I'm happy for the potential for you Michigan folks. But wish I could squeak in one good snow. Waa snows definitely look to be non event here. My only hope is the wraparound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Still pretty drastic differences between the nam/gfs and the rgem/euro. Ukie is on the SE side also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early look at gfs, it's gonna be on the amped side. You can tell early on the ridge and the gfs digs the low more, thus stronger, more nw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Cold side precip seems odd, would think for a more wound up solution it would be throwing some more consistent moisture back into IL/WI 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Meanwhile DTX has a snow map out already with three to four inches for the whole area through the weekend. Kind of surprised they even threw out totals considering the vast differences in the models. The last storm the GFS was right and had a weaker storm while the euro was wrong and had a stronger storm. Both portraying the opposite this go around. I'd hate to be the nws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe moisture getting robbed by convection. I definitely don't dig the look of gfs for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 fwiw i'm hedging on the stronger/nw solutions based on the consistent slower/sharper trend with the trough and resulting lee cyclogenesis, surface features vary widely from model to model and run to run but this upper level trend is p consistent running out of time for changes but we're right at the point where small shifts will result in large changes to the cold sector qpf fields 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Cold side precip seems odd, would think for a more wound up solution it would be throwing some more consistent moisture back into IL/WIThat has to do with the evolution aloft, in which how things are currently depicted are not favorable for such.

Chicago Storm Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Severe weather down south robbing moisture transport north. This is one of the most overused statements in the winter, and is not the case in this instance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Honestly it seems like most guidance is showing at least a couple inches across LOT, which is a win this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
