I think the amounts are not set in stone but an I-70 storm track with a wide swath of snow seems to be on the table. There very likely could be some jackpots of 10+ inches but narrowing those down are nearly impossible. Jackpots are usually nowcasts or a little before the event forecasts.

RCNYILWX Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 How realistic is this scenario ? I just have a hard time believing Dayton could get 10".6"+ amounts are realistic. The moisture plume this system will have to tap into is pretty impressive for a snow system. Euro has been showing a brosd area of 0.6-0.7"+ precipitable waters, and usually 0.5" or 0.6" pwat or more are good for heavy snow combined with other favorable factors.

cyclone77 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Dubuque has only 6" for the season, so if they get a sharp cutoff to the south of them again they're definitely gonna be feeling a bit miffed up there. They also missed out on the March 24th snowstorm by a short distance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if the higher totals (talking in the main snow area, not on the edge) may be more realistic given what has been mentioned with moisture availability.

This system has good access to the Gulf though and Euro/Nam have shown this with seasonal high qpf and pwat values. But wondering if the major dry air coming from that arctic high is really going to impact totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgwx Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The FV3 is once again far more amped in terms of moisture than the GFS. St. Louis cashes in once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 There's no such thing as a lock from this distance, but if I lived near the STL area I'd be feeling pretty good about things. Pretty much all guidance continually has that area in a very favorable location to pick up sig snows. As for that northern cutoff, we'll definitely have to keep an eye on that. There's been some nasty northern cutoffs on systems the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Actually backed off on the northern edge, but that’s to be expected as models consolidate.Pretty close (just slightly less) to 18z run in heart of metro but as you said a razor sharp northern edge. I'd take a couple inches and run up here. Just don't want to be north of that northern edge. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 00z UK is pretty juicy. 0.4" up to I-80 in north-central IL. Over 1" of precip for STL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not overly confident on warning criteria this north yet but my early guess here is 3-5in with locally higher possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you'll be safe from the sharp northern cutoff. I'm guessing you will be included in the winter storm watches that will be issued in a few hours.
