blue60007 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 12z NAM with a whacky solution for Monday. Looks like a decent thump of freezing rain to snow for LAF. Not counting on that happening. GFS kind of has something similar. Front-end freezing rain... to a much lesser extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Wow, was getting plastered coming back from lunch. Looks like a nice band setting up over LAF. Yeah...nice weenie band over us. Get while the getting is good. GFS kind of has something similar. Front-end freezing rain... to a much lesser extent. Looks that way. I don't know, maybe it won't be an all rain event. Guess we'll need to keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll need to keep watching. I'm thinking we'll get something wintry even if brief. Definitely worth watching as any colder trend would make things really interesting.

Chicago WX Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 GFS wins Yes it did. Just measured an inch new here on the sidewalk at work. Getting closer... I'm thinking we'll get something wintry even if brief. Definitely worth watching as any colder trend would make things really interesting. Worth keeping an eye on I guess.

Powerball Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Sampling can't happen soon enough. It's obvious this one's (Monday/Tuesday system) going to pull our strings and give us problems right until the onset if the preciptation. It just can't come easy (whether the outcome is good or bad).

Ajdos Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Compared to the 00z run, what's the precipitation amounts like? Don't see any drastic difference.. Except that all prcp is SN.. Euro looks decent as well (12z).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierwx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 WSW here for 4-6 inches. Just a few flakes so far. LMK needs around 4 inches to double their season average. They probably will be a little too mixy to get it all with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Don't see any drastic difference.. Except that all prcp is SN.. Euro looks decent as well (12z)..GGEM is drier.Basically, the precipitation bombs out in Nothern Illinois (narrow swath of 0.75 - 1" QPF) then it slowly peters out thoo the east. The swath of 0.5" to 0.75" of QPF is along and within a 25-50 mile radius of the I-94 corridor and it ends at Detroit/Lake St. Clair. 00z run has a much broader swath of 0.75" to 1.25" of QPF for N. IL, S. WI into the I-96/M-59 corridors in MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 But snow-wise its one of the best runs yet for us.Eh, even with mixing, 00z run had about the same amount of snow or more than the 12z run (in terms of totals).It's hair splitting though. The overall trend is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
