Maxim Posted Saturday at 03:42 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:42 PM the CPC outlook for March doesn't make much sense considering the 3-4 week outlook they released yesterday, but it's whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaserguy Posted Saturday at 05:57 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:57 PM Looks like winter isn’t ready to leave us alone here in Minnesota yet. The Wednesday system could be interesting. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted Saturday at 06:00 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:00 PM This system is really going to be wrapped up... something we haven't seen much of in recent months. Models have been beefing up the snow totals up in MN/WI. The snow has mostly been shifted nw of me, but it continues to look good for widespread 1-2+" of rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted Saturday at 06:12 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:12 PM Here to comment on the 12z models. Would be the largest snowstorm of the season in the twin cities. Lock it in. I’m sticking with seasonal trends and thinking this thing won’t wind up as much and we’ll see 0.50” of rain transition over to a white rain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted Saturday at 06:56 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:56 PM There used to be a way to use the Iowa State IEM web page to look up the number of days since a winter storm warning, or tornado watch, for example, was issued by a NWS office. I can't seem to find that anymore. Also, there was one time when I figured out how to look up, say, for example lowest pressures recorded at airports. I can't seem to find that option either on Iowa State. Does anybody know anything about that? I figure, maybe with this 980mb low, it'll be extremely low pressure for a few airports' historical records. here's the base web site https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted Saturday at 08:24 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:24 PM Cold and blustery today. Some lake effect snow showers but nothing more than a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted Saturday at 10:35 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:35 PM Underperformed a bit in the upper 20s today. Super dry air around that should last into tomorrow. Dews around 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted Sunday at 04:37 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:37 AM The big storm continues to trend toward earlier occlusion and a farther nw track. Tonight's 00z GFS and NAM are so far nw that the nasty dry slot has been pulled back into eastern Iowa. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted Sunday at 01:58 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:58 PM Made it down to 8 here overnight. Very likely our last single digit low of the season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted Sunday at 04:03 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 04:03 PM Looks like a near miss for me Tues. A little rain to snow with maybe 1-2" of slop. Interior areas of NE MN may get a light glaze of ice. WI/UP MI looking to get hit hard with the Lake's help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted Sunday at 04:58 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:58 PM 12Z GFS has another system in around 10-11 days that verbatim, despite being another sfc/500mb powerhouse is too moisture-starved for sig (at least in most of this sub). If the timing changes a bit (which it will), it could turn into something, though. Would be a white rain blizzard on the back side on the 13th as depicted. 973MB over Chicago and it's 55 degrees in Milwaukee, ~30 in Madison at 18Z.

It’s funny how much warmer it has been there than over here. Maybe because the airmass had to travel over one extra lake(Lake Huron) to get to you? While we never had any clear and calm nights to really crash the temperatures, we did have some nights below zero with wind which doesn’t really happen too often here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we never had any clear and calm nights to really crash the temperatures, we did have some nights below zero with wind which doesn’t really happen too often here. I think it depends where the cold is coming from? Extremely -AO/NAO or +PNA induced cold outbreaks drop the coldest temperatures across the Plains/Midwest. The block kept parts of New England and Quebec warmer than average this winter. Similar to 2009-10. Our coldest temperatures occur when the source region is Hudson Bay and Quebec. Thats more typical during weaker -NAO/AO blocks and -EPO blocks. Our coldest wind is from due N or NW and for most of this winter, especially at night, it was out of the SW or WSW. I think its the same logic for NYC and Boston too. I think Detroit too. So in all honesty, this winter was not cold. From Feb 4-Feb 22 we stayed below freezing, but the cold wasn't exceptional. We finished DJF at 25.3F. Our 91-20 normal is 25.3 and our 81-10 normal is 24.6. I agree with the clear nights part. Maybe the warm lakes kept creating lake effect clouds over our entire region? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted Monday at 01:48 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:48 PM Winter storm watches hoisted to my southeast. Pretty big spread across the metro. 2” on the west end to 6”+ on the east side. Classic spring slop storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted Monday at 10:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:17 PM Not in our sub, but pretty impressive conditions down in western TX/southeast NM. Temps near 80, with dews in the -10s producing humidity values of 2% in several locations. Also 60-70mph winds whipping up a nice dust storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted Monday at 11:37 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:37 PM We will have a lunar eclipse on March 14th, that is, probably after you go to bed on the 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted Monday at 11:56 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:56 PM Wednesday looks to be fun around here. Yet another crazy gradient across the metro but I’ll go with 2.8” at MSP. Good thing my ski hill is just outside Red Wing MN. That area has been consistently shown to be the jackpot zone in Minnesota and could pickup 5-7” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
