cyclone77 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Radar continues to look pretty anemic pretty much everywhere. Not sure what's the deal. There's a thin band of storms down south, but it's not enough that you'd think it'd be blocking this much moisture. System sort of looking like a loser other than that narrow fronto band up north yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 lacrosse is so winter terrible of many late yr ones.. worse than SE MI level terrible when they're not on their freak hot streak of late. Now LaCrosse dominates the other 3 seasons. But I could care less about those seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Had some accumulating hail this morning. Ranged from 0.25-0.50 and got a good inch out of it. It should stay around most of the day because the temp is 33.2. I think it'll be fun to see how long it hangs around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Models really **** the bed with the frontogenetic band yesterday. 0.04" precip recorded at YYZ. lol. That's why I didn't follow the models for this. Have some snow and 3 mm of ice on top. A few power flickers hours ago when the winds picked up.

daddylonglegs Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yeah not much precip at all. Models blew QPF on this system. .75 liquid here...i'd have to look..but i know a few runs were near 2 inches of liquid. A couple of mild days and this will be history.

snowcaine Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hi-res models showing an uptick in ZR amounts today, another round this evening. Not sure where it's going to come from judging by upstream radar but hoping it doesn't verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Picked up about 5" over night of cement, when I left this morning for work it was a mixed bag of sleet snow and even a little Frz Rn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yeah not much precip at all. Models blew QPF on this system. The mixing zone ended up much dryer than modelled. Precipitation type was correct and duration however. Just couldn't get enough liquid to realize the ice amounts the models were putting out. Still one final round to come before we go above freezing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardof96 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 10:30am reading at YYZ had a temp of 28.8f. If the HRRR/RAP are correct, there is reason for concern this evening especially for areas N of the 401. The models have been so bad that I'm not sure what to believe.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 It seems the snow band was a bit hit and miss. La Crosse and Green Bay didn't get nearly as much as expected, but there are 11-12 inch totals in nw Iowa and a spot near Sioux City is reporting 17 inches. It appears Cedar Rapids won't see a flake out of this. For days all the models had a modest band of backwash snow moving across Iowa this morning, but the system's structure really deteriorated and the defo zone snow vanished. I haven't even seen another drop of rain since midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Tape measure says 3 inches in the driveway....a little more in the grass... just heavy wet sloppy mess. I was watching the radar up there last night and it looks like heavy snow all the way. What a horrible bust for you. Sitting at 34 here now. Let's see if these north winds willeadvect in the colder air now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Up to .62" and still pouring. It's rain, but I may have a more interesting storm than those up north. Admittedly, I would be rather annoyed if I had been bullseyed for days for 12"+ and had 3" like DLL. This "winter" can end any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models have been so bad that I'm not sure what to believe. hrrr_ref_toronto_13.png Going to be a real nail-biter around here. HRRR keep temps below freezing for nearly an inch of precip. Seems hard to believe but looking at surface obs the temp actually fell between 9 and 10am to -2.5C (27.5F) and we're still sitting at -2.2C (28.0F) at noon.

A-L-E-K Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 looked like there was some bright banding on radar, might have been a stray flake making it down under the heaviest returns either way, that band of 2-4" isn't going to materialize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Might be some unexpected severe weather in a few hours. ..OH VLY/MIDWEST TODAY A ZONE OF MODERATE TO STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT AND SOME DEGREE OF MID-LVL COOLING WILL OVERSPREAD MIDWESTERN COLD FRONT AS IT CONTINUES ENE FROM ERN IL INTO IND AND SRN LWR MI LATER TODAY. ALTHOUGH PRE-FRONTAL CLOUDS WILL LIMIT SFC HEATING...MODEST LOW-LVL DESTABILIZATION WILL OCCUR IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF FRONT. CURRENT AND FCST SOUNDING SHOW SOME EVIDENCE OF BACK-VEER VERTICAL WIND PROFILES...SUGGESTING THAT WIND ENVIRONMENT WILL NOT BE OPTIMAL FOR SUPERCELLS. BUT 60-70 KT SSWLY 700-500 MB FLOW AND 500 MB TEMPS DECREASING TO AROUND MINUS 17C MAY FOSTER A CONDITIONAL CORRIDOR OF REGIONALLY ENHANCED SVR THREAT /WIND...MARGINALLY SVR HAIL...BRIEF TORNADO/. NWD EXTENT OF THIS POTENTIAL WILL BE LIMITED BY PERSISTENT/SHALLOW POLAR AIR IN LWR MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
