Chambana Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Woo. Getting on the board. First WWA of the season hoisted for tomorrow. Looks like a solid little performer, 2-4”. Perfect timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 What a cool track! It's been a while since a strengthening storm moved north through the mountains and western PA. Reminds me of the 1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Sept. 2002 a semi plowed into my Buick Century on I-65 just north of Lowell. I was in the driver's blind spot. This was during sunny and dry pavement. Flipped three times and landed in the median. Had minor injuries due to seat belt and shoulder harness but car was totaled. I-65 is usually a bear anyway. Getting some very light snow here now in Indpls metro this Sat a,m. (dusting so far) and from radar looks to end shortly until the next wave comes through for Dec 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have not been many systems moving north on the west spine of the Appalachians and Alleghenies this century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Updated LOT afd just out mentioned a possible upgrade to a warning for the lakeshore counties of northwest IN due to lake enhancement. My guess is that the advisory ends up getting expanded into Cook county. Amounts look more marginal (especially northern Cook) but with temps well below freezing, a period of better rates and the day of the year, I think it will be enough.

Would agree on Cook and then if they do that, they'll probably put in DuPage too because conditions will be hazardous enough and also the goofy shape of Cook would make the map look weird lol.Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook and Dupage, in the ballpark of 2-3", so it wouldn't be totally crazy to add them into the WWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Wondering whether GRR will put the lakeshore counties here in West Michigan under a WWA or a Winter Storm Warning through Monday. Snow could exceed 6 inches with gusty winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homedis Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 18z NAM is coming in a little north and stronger versus the 12z run thus far. Let's see what the rest of the run shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely slower, but yeah its starting to be further south of the last run. It was slightly north of the last run when it began lol. Edit (2:14pm): wow, a good bit south this run.

Hoosier Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yeah, a little bit of a snaky orientation with the snow band. Slightly farther north out in Nebraska and then a bit south from MO/IA eastward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 3 km NAM with a nice lake enhanced signature right into my hood. That being said, if I were LOT, I might stick with a high end advisory for Lake/Porter for now until trends become more clear. If the model signals continue for lake enhancement and/or the system shows any sign of drifting even a hair north, then upgrade. Edit: welp, warning it is. Nice.

Can't they do that? I've seen it happen in other WFOs, especially out west with the the counties and elevation. I've even seen it along the lake shore a few times.

I'm not sure if they could just do it or if it would have to go through some sort of approval process. Maybe Ricky could provide some info.

Technically speaking from Dayton south in ILN CWA its the possibility of 3" and they are only saying 2. That being said in the past they would issue a WWA for the first widespread snowfall of the season and being Christmas I thought they would have and they eventually might.
