Sun is making its way out in Columbus now.

Already reports in Kentucky of power outages due to wind gusts of up to 50 after warm front goes through. Not a good day dealing with that plus a threat of bad weather.

I saw that on the more recent HRRR with the Evansville storms as I wanted to glance to see if it caught on to those. I would expect a pretty rapid increase in temperatures with the clearing and we have a wind advisory for this afternoon once warm front comes through. Wouldn’t doubt on some surprises today. ILN doing a nice job in their Twitter feed keeping people updated, posted recently that the atmosphere is becoming rapidly unstable with the clearing going on and folks need to pay attention.

Agree, much easier for everyone to talk and those of us like myself who rely on better opinions are better served in one central location. Clearing and warm front should make its way to cbus in a few hours. Already thinning clouds and rain has moved on. ILN keeps bumping up our high, currently looking at low 70’s now, perhaps more sun than anticipated.

5). The snow has robbed a normal severe weather thread.

Well if the low is further west then, western and central Ohio should be in play. But yes too hilly out that way

Interesting enough that the HRRR has shifted the low track further west in Indiana now, is a bit more intense, and shows a line of supercells forming in Indiana and moving into a more unstable Ohio during peak heating. Will be interested to see if this is a trend.

One thing I noticed on the 23z HRRR is the low is more back to the Indiana and Illinois border now as opposed to earlier today putting much more of Indiana in the warm sector at 17z tomorrow. Not sure if this is a fluke or perhaps due to less intense convection down south than modeled that it allows the low to move more nw. I’m horrible at this analyzing but found it curious. Edit. 0z appears to be doing the same thing. This would have an impact with both the snow and severe side of this storm if true.

I thought I saw that occurring on the HRRR model now that it’s within range but looks to follow the same track as others once to Indiana. I guess it’s possible though as it occurs more often than not with the nw trend, especially last minute.

ILN keeps talking about the system this Sunday too as potentially watching the track given the further north and west track on Euro and other models latching on to this solution as well. Haven’t paid much attention to it since SPC doesn’t have anything this far north but possibly something to watch as well.

Per visible a nice clearing is headed to CMH. We’ve had very little in the way of rain today except this morning early. Thinking Ohio is going to be a surprise later.

Doubtful but I hope so. By March I am done with winter.

I am ready for spring and severe weather season. Today was perfect after the icebox we just went through.

Per CMH airport winds have switched to North as it was primarily East all day. Would suspect we are getting more in a position with the low where temps start dropping soon. Meso on SPC shows 850’s heading south.

We should probably start taking bets on how busy emergency crews will be when people yelling bust are stranded on ice and snow several hours from now....

Well I certainly hope people don’t get the impression nothing is going to happen and treat this as a rain storm. Once temperatures plummet the roads will become dangerous. Add this possible deformation band and yikes.

Sleeting pretty good near Westerville area too

Well at least my trip to the grocery store tonight will be pleasant.

What station is he on? He used to be on that ONN station which is no more

Oh gosh I remember him talking about that during his weather segments. I left CMH and lived in DFW for 6 years. I came back and every weather personality switched stations except Mike Davis it seemed like.

He’s on ABC 6 now I think. I don’t watch that channel though as I don’t have a tolerance for their news anchors

I saw that this morning too. Ben last night at 7:00 said 7-10 and this morning was a dramatic drop. Bob’s animated map this morning showed Columbus in all snow too with some rain south so nothing added up

I saw this. Then I saw the weird cutoff at Licking County. They may just be trying to highlight their zone. Point and click forecast for near Westerville still has totals from this morning of total storm accumulation around 12 inches for higher end possibilities.

Yeah they had 4-8 but I got lazy with the typing

ILN added preliminary amounts to my Saturday forecast on the point and click map for northeast section of CMH. They must be feeling more confidence. Up to .3 inches of ice and up to 8 inches of snow during day Saturday.
