eh. the model arguments are always subjective and actually vary to ones backyard. Yes, there is consensus on a storm, but go read LOT's last two discussions(which are excellent) and that'll detail the different model outcomes. Looked like the 6Z NAM ticked the initial overrunning band further into my neck of the woods. FWIW/
dueling weather PM AFD's
Springfield, IL:
"ECMWF AND ITS ENSEMBLES
HAVE TRENDED SLIGHTLY SOUTH/COLDER. "
Quad Cities:
OF NOTE, HOWEVER,
IS THE EC ENSEMBLE AVERAGE IS BEGINNING TO SHOW THE MAIN AXIS OF
SNOW RETREATING BACK TO THE NORTH,
you mean you think a general 5"-10" event is more likely than a 20"-30" accumulation in the heart of the main band of heavy snow? I'm betting that way as well.
Good news is something to track. Good news is at this point someone is going to clocked. Good news overunning events even minus a wound up storm generally put down a fairly large swath of frozen precip. Good news a decent shot of vodka cold post storm. Good news for NE IL crew lake enhancement should be on the table. Good news we are not looking at 20 and cloudy for the next 7 days. Good news someone who has not had a decent event in recent years has the potential too.
good to see there is some north east ILL action. Too many times SE Wisky gets it when winds have more of a NE bend and than it's the usual NW Indy peeps. Hoping to see some flakeage even this far west. Always nice if we can pull a decent lake event.
here is your 7 day track:
Day 1: Ready to be buried/Love to track
Day 2: Models are ugly/ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Day 3: Posts Here comes the Rain Again Video
Day 4 Euro comin in hot
Day 5 Madison Special/ Final call 1.5"
Day 6 Posts Vince Mcmahon Meme
Day 7 D-Day: Radar looks grim/Gonna bust high/ Quality flakes/Epic on the lakeshore/ Posts photos of buried cars as lake band pivots through/ Quality storm.
Ballsy. I'm fine with taking the ealry shot at a thread but prefrred "Midwest Bomb Cyclone" or "GHD lll the Return"....fear the term "mess" may prove accurate.
euro sees what im seeing

THE GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE A STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
MIDWEST NEXT WEEK. THE FLOW PATTERN ALOFT WILL BE UNDERGOING A
CHANGE WITH THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMING SOUTHWEST. DURING A PATTERN
CHANGE MODEL PREDICTABILITY DROPS AND CONTINUITY FROM RUN TO RUN IS
INCONSISTENT.
AS A RESULT THE GLOBAL MODELS NOT ONLY DIFFER ON TIMING/TRACK OF
THIS SYSTEM BUT THEY ALSO DIFFER ON HOW THE SYSTEM WILL
DEVELOP/EVOLVE.
THE MODELS AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT SURGE OF MOISTURE
MOVING NORTH FROM THE GULF. AS A RESULT THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE HEAVY PRECIPITATION.
