blue60007 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 IND has 12 to 14 in our zones. Funny, their last update actually lowered our totals to half that for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Is that missing something? If not it's garbage in overall amounts. I think it only shows precip that falls after a certain period today since it was issued recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 LOT went with a blizzard warning for SE counties in the CWA. Package was ready, but they ditched it for now... COMPLEX...HIGH IMPACT WINTER WEATHER EVENT UNDERWAY FOR NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA. FOR THE SHORT TERM...THE FOCUS IS THE POST-FRONTAL SNOW BAND EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL MISSOURI...THROUGH ILLINOIS AND INDIANA AND INTO LOWER MICHIGAN. AS OF 3AM CST...THE COLD FRONT WAS PUSHING INTO NWRN INDIANA AND EAST-CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THE ONGOING SNOW IS LARGELY POST-FRONTAL ALONG AN ELEVATED F-GEN BAND. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES NARROW EMBEDDED HEAVIER BANDS WITH AN ENHANCED BAND FROM GARY TO PONTIAC. SNOWFALL RATES OF 1/2 INCH PER HOUR ARE LIKELY WITHIN THE HEAVIER BANDS...WITH STEADY LIGHTER SNOW COVERING THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA. THE POST FRONTAL SNOW SHOULD PERSIST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING HOURS. SOME OF THE HI RES GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING A BRIEF LULL TO THE STEADIER SNOW BEFORE THE WARM ADVECTION SNOW KICKS IN WITH THE SRN STREAM SHORTWAVE LIFTING UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST. HAVE ACTUALLY MADE LITTLE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE GOING FORECAST AND WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES...BUT STILL HAVE SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE NECESSITY TO UPGRADE AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE WINTER STORM WARNING TO A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. DURING THIS PERIOD...MUCH OF THE AREA WILL SEE NORTH WINDS GUSTING TO 30-35 MPH. SO...WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF BLOWING SNOW FOR THE ENTIRE CWA WITH...ONCE AGAIN...OPEN AREAS WITH EAST-WEST ORIENTED ROADS SEEING THE GREATEST IMPACT. BY THE TIME THAT THE WARM ADVECTION SNOW GETS UNDERWAY...THE SERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...GENERALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF A LINE FROM GARY TO PONTIAC SHOULD SEE THE HEAVIEST SNOW...WITH AMOUNTS GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF TO THE NORTH. THE COMBINATION OF FALLING SNOW AND STRONG WINDS COULD VERY LIKELY PRODUCE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON UPGRADING THIS PORTION OF THE AREA TO A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR NOW...AND MONITOR THE ONSET TIMING OF THE HEAVIER SNOWFALL RATES WITH THE WARM ADVECTION SNOW. THE HIGH RES MODEL GUIDANCE STILL WANTS TO DEVELOP A LAKE EFFECT PLUME POINTING INTO LAKE AND PORTER COUNTIES IN NORTHWESTERN INDIANA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING...WHICH COULD FURTHER ENHANCE SNOWFALL RATES AND LIKELY REDUCING VISIBILITY TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES. SO...MANY OF THE INGREDIENTS NECESSARY FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE COMING TOGETHER...THE MAIN QUESTIONS BEING TIMING AND AREA EXTENT STILL UNCERTAIN ENOUGH TO HOLD OFF ON A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR NOW.

Gilbertfly Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 MCD 0003..... MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0003 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0316 AM CST SUN JAN 05 2014 AREAS AFFECTED...MO...IL CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW VALID 050916Z - 051515Z SUMMARY...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM SW TO NE ACROSS PORTIONS OF CNTRL AND ERN MISSOURI THROUGH DAYBREAK. SNOWFALL RATES AROUND 1 INCH PER HOUR CAN BE EXPECTED LATER THIS MORNING WITH THESE RATES SPREADING TO PARTS OF SWRN IL BY 15 UTC/10 AM CST. DISCUSSION...MID-LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS OF 60-120M/12H WILL OCCUR WITH TROUGH AMPLIFICATION ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS THIS MORNING AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE GRADUAL DEEPENING OF A FRONTAL WAVE/SFC LOW OVER AR. A MODEST INFLUX OF HIGHER PW AIR /0.75-0.90 INCHES/ NEAR AND EAST OF THE SFC LOW TRACK WILL COINCIDE WITH 850-700MB FRONTOGENESIS AND LOWERING STATIC STABILITY OVER SRN/CNTRL MO THROUGH THE MORNING. AS SLOPED ASCENT WITHIN THIS FRONTAL ZONE INTENSIFIES...DENDRITIC GROWTH LAYER IS FORECAST TO DEEPEN AND CONTRIBUTE TO AN INCREASINGLY SUPPORTIVE THERMODYNAMIC HABITAT FOR SNOWFALL PRODUCTION. THIS PROCESS SHOULD RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SW-TO-NE ORIENTED BANDS OF MDT TO HEAVY SNOW. SYNOPTIC AND HIGH-RES MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT DEPICTING A NARROW RAIN-TO-SNOW TRANSITION ZONE EXTENDING ACROSS SERN MO THROUGH THE MORNING. MAX HRLY QPF AMOUNTS NORTH OF THE TRANSITION ZONE ARE AROUND 0.10 INCH WHERE NAM SNOW/LIQUID RATIO IS FORECAST TO BE AROUND 10/1. THUS...EXPECT SNOWFALL RATES IN THE HEAVIER BANDS TO REACH ABOUT AN INCH PER HOUR. THE HIGHER SNOWFALL RATES ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE MORNING AND INTO EARLY AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY WITH EWD/NEWD EXTENT...AS MID/UPPER FORCING FOR ASCENT INTENSIFIES AND SPREADS EAST ACROSS THE MS RIVER INTO SWRN IL.
