What’s falling imby and radar trends definitely more impressive then what the HRRR and NAM have been showing. Still thinking 2” here but we’ll see if it’s rip city when I wake up.
NAM develops a weenie band right over the metro and drops 3-4” before continuing to strengthen to the east.
Euro says sorry Minneapolis but this thing doesn’t get it’s act together until it’s east of you. Enjoy the dust on crust.
I’m riding the Euro
Had some nice drifting on roads outside the metro this morning from the stiff SE wind. Spitting occasional ice pellets here. Locked and loaded for my 1”
Warm tongue has me slightly worried and lack of moisture depth could mean a long period of FRDZ instead of light snow. 1-3” refresher could easily end up being a glacier creating glaze event up here.
Been getting steady light snow as forecasted since around 2:30pm. Probably averaged a half inch an hour since onset. 4-5” event total seems a lock based on radar trends.
High ratio 3-6” of WAA snow across much of Minnesota on Saturday. Let’s see how that unfolds as it could be a precursor to this storms evolution. After last weeks burn I’m not putting much faith in the medium term.
