18z HRRR
-
The jury is still out there. WAA snows have already underperformed, and model trends aren't looking good for the "main" show tonight/tomorrow. Prior to this system, they were still at a 11-12" departure.
-
I know you're joking, but it's really been a mediocre winter for most of you in the subforum snowfall-wise. There's no point in making it a "tallest midget" competition.
-
The 12z NAM has corrected significantly from the 06z run (although still not as impressive as yesterday's runs).
-
Notable step down on the 06z NAM...
-
Models are pretty much in 2 camps now for SE MI. One shows *ONLY* 4-6", and then there's the other camp that shows widespread double digit amounts. On the plus side, there aren't any duds.
-
21z SREF plumes for DTW...
-
'99 had a Blizzard Warning.
-
They didn't think the expected snowfall total (1-3") was worth a WAA. They instead opted to cover it with a SWS.
-
It appears the slow step back down to reality has begun with the 00z NAM.
-
Roger Smith has spoken...
-
There didn't appear to be any observations of snow at the NWS sites out that way as of 4pm CT
-
5pm now and still no AFD. I can only figure it's a doozy, lol...
-
18z GFS is an improvement from the 12z GFS run.
-
18z ICON is more amped / NW though.
-
To be clear, I know there's virtually no chance of the 3km 18z NAM happening (it doesn't even jive with how the upper levels look). But got damn, it is some nice eye candy...
-
This of course excludes WAA snows...
-
That 3km 18z NAM is quite nice for Detroit. Full-blown blizzard. EDIT: Flying home-worthy
-
It's not just the snow totals either, but there will also be significant blowing/drifting and fairly high rates. Considering that, an argument could be made for an impact-based WSW despite snow totals possibly falling short of the technical threshold. But that debate is a whole 'nother can of worms, especially with the recent changes to the criteria that have been rolled out.
-
HRRR is finally coming back to earth with the 18z run.
-
It was still a decent snowstorm for the Detroit area (just not a big dog)
-
12z UKMET has taken a step back from the amped runs yesterday. It looks more like the GGEM now.
-
Severe weather easy to predict? *Laughs in Southern Plains under DFW's cap of steel*
-
12z NAM will also continue to be amped / NW...
-
Yeah, they punted. Kind of funny, but not surprising.
