cyclone77 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 12z GFS showing a potential major snowstorm for Central/Western Iowa, Southeast Minnesota and Western Wisconsin (including daddylonglegs). I think the GFS is on crack. Yeah, Euro shows a much different scenario. GFS will bow to the Euro like it has the last few months. The first 5-10 days of May are gonna suck, unless you like it cold, wet, and cloudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natester Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Snippet from the DVN AFD. TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...OPERATIONAL MODELS SIMILAR IN DEVELOPING AN INTENSE CUT-OFF UPPER LOW IN THE PLAINS. A LARGE BLOCKING PATTERN IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND CANADA WILL ESSENTIALLY STALL THE LOW. EXACTLY WHERE THIS LOW SETS UP SHOP WILL BE CRITICAL AS TO THE TIMING OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT INTO THE DVN CWA AND TEMPERATURES. INITIALLY THE RAIN WILL BE BEHIND THE FRONT BUT AS GULF MOISTURE GETS DRAWN INTO THE SYSTEM THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL INCREASE LATE IN THE WEEK. IF THE ECMWF IS CORRECT THERE MAY BE A BAND OF SNOW OR AT LEAST A RAIN/SNOW MIX FROM MN TO OK. COULD EASILY BE A 20 TO 30 DEGREE TEMPERATURE BUST DEPENDING ON WHERE THE COLD FRONT SETS UP. NEXT WEEKEND...LOW CONFIDENCE ON THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW BUT IF THE ECMWF IS CORRECT THE LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS IOWA AND THEN INTO WISCONSIN ON MAY 6. WET SNOW CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN SOME PORTIONS OF THE DVN CWA DEPENDING ON EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE. CERTAINLY COLD ENOUGH ALOFT FOR FROZEN PRECIPITATION.

Brewers Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks for finding and sharing the images. The storm certainly had rapid intensification. Awesome stuff. Hopefully BA gets back to you, if he does I'd like to know the response. No problem, I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natester Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Well, if there is a snowstorm, the good thing is that the trees have just barely began to leaf out. Still, this could cause some widespread power outages in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Not sure what's more funny on that snow map... the crazy snow amounts or the Keweenaw Peninsula wiped off the map. I don't want to know what Craig in Omaha is doing with that snow map. That snow might even be chase worthy for the severe snobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't drive 750 miles to chase any weather. Thankfully, I can just hop on the expressway and drive 100 miles to chase heavy LES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of nights in boston snowed-in, eating, and drinking owns roving around oklahoma GHD storm pretty much satisfied my need to ever want tochase a snow storm unless it was like 100" in the mountains. Although being snowed-in in Boston would be fun with friends. Bucket list still missing an epic LES event and I would also like to see (never have) a tornado.. Though this would probably excite me more than seeing a twister seeing as I've never witnessed hail much bigger than pea size. stolen from the western sub-forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Has a bulls eye in WI right around Madison so it might be on to something From Tim's thread.. STL only has one (they're due for another measurable lol!) measurable snowfall in May.. 06z gfs would be close to topping that 4" snowfall..

Stebo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 If I was a betting man I would ride the recent seasonal trend and say NW IA through MSP to Duluth would be the target zone. Something similar to 18z only a bit further NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something similar to 18z only a bit further NE +1.... I agree... can't really bet against that with the trend.. Whatever the case, this weather has been nice and i really don't want to go back into the 40Fs for high temps, but its looking really likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
