buckeye Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 check out the next frame of sim radar....it's like the precip moved due north from 18 to 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Then you have this yea, that is weird. If you look at that 700rh map and guessed where the qpf would be the heaviest on the next map you would think it would be the southeast 2/3rds of the state....and instead its the nw half. I'll take the track of the 850 and 7h low and run with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPSU Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 check out the next frame of sim radar....it's like the precip moved due north from 18 to 24 Yep, it's going west to east then suddenly jumps north. Meanwhile on the 700mb map it continues on to the east. Not sure I understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 yea, that is weird. Not only does the accum seem not to match the precip maps but the 700rh heaviest omegas are also not matching up. I'll take the track of the 850 and 7h low and run with those. The 700mb low tracks to Sandusky/Cleveland zone and thus why the precip shifts north. Which matches this pretty good. Typically the best precip is near and just north and west/nw of that feature. per this run i would say LAF to Sandusky/Cleveland is the bullseye.

Not sure I understand that. the 700 is perfectly centered over ohio at 24 hrs....the 850 is closer to cleveland. Maybe that's why....i don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry, do you know why the heaviest omegas aren't lining up with the heaviest precip? (check out the 700mb map for 18hrs jay posted above)....looks like a best omegas are central southern ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus eating away at your precip/snow. Usually a murder on systems there i know from past experience. I admit though it would be amazing to see a model pick up on that at this point.

Powerball Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well we were sorta/kinda screwed this run (barely 0.25"), but it looks much better for the Ohio folks with 0.40"+... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically the best precip is near and just north and west/nw of that feature. per this run i would say LAF to Sandusky/Cleveland is the bullseye. NAM has been pretty consistent with a decent hit for Cleveland. Still has a spec of 0.5" over the metro area. I'm not sure I'm buying it yet. These events seem to be a typical 3" front end snow that's fast moving and not much else after it pivots through. We'll see I guess, but the lake is frozen from CLE and points and west. Not sure how the models are factoring that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know typically you guys want it to track along the river and WV/OH line and or se of Columbus. By the *looks* of it the surface low goes almost ( if not ) directly over Columbus.

snowlover2 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 850mb temps are -10 or lower for the western half of Ohio for most if not all of the storm. That would be some high ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the *looks* of it the surface low goes almost ( if not ) directly over Columbus. In general thats true, although this is a fairly weak low pretty closely aligned with the 850 and 700 lows so sometimes in those cases it's just as beneficial to be along the track. Actually i'm not sure why i'm nit picking this. Looks like we're talking about a massive region-wide snow ranging from 3-6".....lollipops, jackpots, and screw holes are anyone's guess at this point...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing to consider is upstream in Iowa they are getting amounts higher than what you would expect using say an 18:1 ratio based of of the forecasted QPF. considering the 850 lows (both of them) strengthen before all energy translates to the east coast we all may get an inch or two about what doubling the QPF would suggest.

Madmaxweather Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I am not going to be on tonight because I am moving but will be with storm updates during the day on Tuesday while at work LOL Here is the breakdown: 3-5 for Cincinnati Metro by Wednesday-Hamilton,Clermont,northern KY included in this zone 4-6 for Northern burbs and southern burbs on Dayton. Butler, Clinton, Warren, Greene, Montgomery, Fayette Counties 5-7 for Dayton northward near I 70 I am BW's right now watching the game!lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Overall i like the trends despite the QPF. Always good to have a strengthening system approaching you vs weakening. This puppy is strengthening especially in the upper levels as it approaches and passes through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Quick question for those familiar with BUFKIT.... I've got the newest version, which features a number in parentheses when adding up the snowfall. Does anybody know what the figure is supposed to represent?

turtlehurricane Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Already .04" liquid at MSN, must be accumulating pretty well with such low temps.
