wisconsinwx Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 GFS and NAM have consistently shown a small clipper-type disturbance making its way through Iowa into the Great Lakes Friday into Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just checked the 0z Euro, and it puts the clipper a tad farther north (N Iowa into C Wisconsin vs. C Iowa into S Wisconsin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 12z GEM also a decent little snow event for IA/northern IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 18Z Nam has a monster clipper. Funny thing is that if it tracks into my area I would end up with near normal snowfall for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'll take 2" of snow from a Clipper. Bring it on! lol I noticed this feature the last couple days, but today it's looking more healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Biblical. I believe that was the first time I ever got to experience driving in snow This one looks like its good for an inch or two across N IL/N IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The Hype monsters at Quad Ciites are not to impressed yet MODEL QPF RANGES FROM 0.30 HUNDREDTHS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20...TO AROUND 0.20 HUNDREDTHS ALONG I80 WITH LOWER AMOUNTS FURTHER SOUTH. THE LATEST HPC WWD GUIDANCE IS FORECASTING AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20. THERMAL PROFILES INDICATE THAT ANY PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF I80 WOULD LIKELY BE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA.

Baum Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 LOT's thoughts: FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM ORIGINATING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA ARRIVES FRIDAY EVENING. WHILE GUIDANCE SEEMS CONSTANT THAT THE PRECIP WILL ARRIVE IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE CWA FRIDAY EVENING AND BE EAST OF THE CWA BY SATURDAY MORNING...THE LATEST MODELS ARE HINTING THIS COULD BE A RAIN/SNOW MIX EVENT INSTEAD OF A PURELY SNOW EVENT. THAT BEING SAID...MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENT WILL HAVE SURFACE TEMPS AROUND FREEZING WITH TEMPS REMAINING AROUND OR SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING THROUGHOUT THE EVENT. WITH LARGE OMEGA VALUES THROUGH THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE (DGZ)...SFC-850HPA FRONTOGENESIS...AND THE ENTIRE COLUMN BELOW FREEZING UNTIL THE SURFACE...THINKING THE SYSTEM WILL BE A SNOW EVENT WITH LARGE DENDRITES POSSIBLE AT FIRST. GIVEN THE TEMP TRENDS WOULD EXPECT A WET SNOW AT FIRST SLOWLY TRANSITIONING TO A DRIER SNOW NEAR THE END OF THE EVENT. FOR A FIRST GUESS TOTAL SNOWFALL...MINOR TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1-2 INCHES ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-80 CORRIDOR...WITH LITTLE TO NOW SNOW ACCUMULATION SOUTH OF THE I-80 CORRIDOR. THIS WILL BE THE SYSTEM TO WATCH OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...ESPECIALLY IF THE MODELS KEEP SHIFTING THE AXIS OF BEST FORCING SOUTHWARD AND IF THE HINTS AT BETTER FORCING AKA MORE SNOW CONTINUE. little unclear if they are thinking models are showing a mix or trending towards more snow.

Nic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 GFS is 200 miles further south than the NAM, I would wait until this time tommorow to be sure where it will go. I wish it would go into the ohio valley get a gulf feed and bomb out. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastFromTheEast Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 MKE has Snow Likely and 1-2 inches accums in their zone forecasts now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UW-weather Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I would say that a general 1-3" can be expected in the "hardest hit" areas. Models are not in complete agreement on when and where this band will set up. The darkest blue on the map indicates the most likely area of 1-3". Lake enhancement will likely occur in western Michigan either way. more at: http://midwestweathe...k.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 MKE has Snow Likely and 1-2 inches accums in their zone forecasts now! My forecast calls for a 50% chance of snow for Friday night. Snow coming in after 3pm Friday. High's in the mid 30s during the day, then falling to around 20° at night. This would be a mainly snow event for the northern areas of the Chicago metro.

nwohweather Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That 2005 was some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen in my life. I have yet to see anything in my short life beat the Blizzard of 2008 though here in Ohio. I just stood there and watched it. The snow and the wind were unreal in that storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
