A snippet I took out of Joe Lundberg's blog on Accuweather. One of the few guys on there I enjoy reading and is the most detailed/accurate. "Snow is the most likely form of precipitation from northern Missouri through northern Illinois toward southern Michigan, including cities like Chicago and Detroit, though enough warm air could sneak into southeastern Michigan to change the snow to ice or even rain."

South of 94 I would be "slightly" worried.

Euro is taking a baby step back to the south. 1008mb low over OH/IN/MI border. Not nearly as juicy as before. 

 

I'm looking at the free maps, but it doesn't look to have a one consolidated low per se...at 96 hours. Some trailing vorts maybe? Is that kinda close?

I haven't looked real closely yet but it does look like it breaks up the lead wave into one or two additional pieces. Strung out mess of light precip for most.

LOT  bullish-ish

 

 

AFOREMENTIONED THURSDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT COLD FRONT LOOKS TO DRAPE
OUT ACROSS THE AREA FRI UNDER QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE LOOKS TO PROVIDE A BREAK-IN-THE-ACTION FOR A PERIOD. THE EC
AND GFS CONTINUE TO DIFFER ON TIMING OF A PACIFIC WAVE TIGHTENING
THIS BAROCLINICITY AND BRINGING BETTER FORCING FOR PRECIP. OVERALL
BOTH MODELS HAVE A GOOD UPPER JET SETUP TO DEVELOP FOCUSED WARM AIR
ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC ASCENT ACROSS THE BOUNDARY...SO FEEL THAT
LIKELY POPS WERE NEEDED. CONTINUE TO FAVOR THE SLIGHTLY QUICKER
EC...BUT A LITTLE MORE IN THE MIDDLE GROUND WITH CONTINUING SOME
HIGHER POPS ON SATURDAY...NAMELY IN EASTERN AREAS. MOISTURE VALUES
WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE NOT SHABBY WITH 3-4 G/KG ON LIFTING SURFACES.
COULD EASILY FORESEE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW WITH A BLEND OF THESE
MODELS...ESPECIALLY IF THE GFS WERE TO VERIFY WITH BETTER SYNOPTIC
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT IMPACTING THE AREA IN ITS LAST SEVERAL RUNS.

I see. Setting yourself up already for the next one too?  :P

 

Chad way too bullish for Friday night/Saturday. 3-6"? I don't think so. :lol:

 

 

Well he did say tweaking is a certainty...

 

I really don't know about amounts.  I think we'll get something before we have to worry about a changeover but how much tbd.

I'm not sure either. I have fairly low expectations with this one, so I'll be content with whatever snow we get.
