18z gfs 24 hr snows 3/18

12z GFS is drinking again and then this on Thursday

GFS in conflict with its self (doubt it happens) and GEM a little further south

No way

snippet from Milwaukee Satellite imagery was indicating a few convective elements just on the north side of the low, which is forecast to track through the area later this afternoon and evening. The fgen forcing along the front is a bit stronger than forecast and seeing some higher snowfall rates occurring over IA this morning but whether those rates translate east into our area is questionable. Bufkit profiles do show an overlap of this better forcing from the fgen band the dendrite zone, so certainly could support a few higher rates AND The dry slot based on guidance should stay just south of the region but if it does meander north a tad could see more limited snow across the WI/IL border.

GFS version a little later in the weekend (likely hood of occurring pretty low) and the v16 for the same time frame

Little quiet in here
