And it's now behind a paywall.

Once you're gone, I think michsnowfreak will be the only regular Detroit area poster (that comes to mind) left. EDIT: And RogueWaves. I keep forgetting he's also in the Detroit area now.

Some decent banding right now in Minneapolis...

Are you moving to FL permanently, or just for the winter?

Didn't Marshall get hit by the Christmas eve snowstorm in 2017, then the LES squalls on Christmas day?

Yeah, in much of the country, Summer downpours usually are brief and unorganized. You would do good for them to last 15 minutes. Anything longer is pretty exceptional. And yeah, that does sound right about February now (I thought the final amount was higher than 6 inches).

I'm sure there were plenty of good Summer downpours. That's normal. The task though is getting them to last long. Since summer rains tend to be more scattered and convective in nature, they're short in duration and don't have much of an opportunity to accumulate a lot in any one location. BTW, I thought that Feb 17th event looked familiar. It was the highly anticipated Big Dog that completely unraveled in the 11th hour...

He's probably not done either.

Looks like Hamburg will be the bullseye after all... Brutal cut off (so far) for most of Buffalo proper though.

LES chase is definitely on my bucket list. This would have been a perfect setup.

Thursday afternoon/evening is looking good for another severe weather event across NE / KS / MO / IA...

63 MPH wind gust was measured at DFW with the squall line.

While a tropical airmass with convection is ongoing across DFW into Eastern Texas, it's currentlt 34*F and snowing in Amarillo.

Window's definitely closing for discrete tornadic cells in the Metroplex. Can see the cold front accelerating into the far western edge of DFW on radar. EDIT: That said, the damaging wind threat seems legit in the near term with the squall line organizing in Tarrant / Denton counties.

That cell over Lake Ray Roberts seems to have lightning with it now. Might be one to watch.

SPC mesoanalysis gives a good hint of what things look like, and it is definitely a bit ominous. Sill some residual capping, but it's eroding rapidly. In fact, an argument could be made the risk areas should be expanded a bit further west.

I don't think so. This event will be almost entirely driven by good jet dynamics despite less than ideal thermodynamics. If anything, FWD's discussion from yesterday mentioned those streamer showers (like the one you're getting now) would have to be watch for growth into discrete supercells over the next few hours.
