Someone over Northern Cook/Lake county will do very well with this system + lake effect Seeing as I live on the border of those two counties I am very hopeful.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Actually getting some very light snow in Minneapolis, but no accumulation. Friend in the south metro said close to an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 its has been in the model data all along and still there in the 23z HRRR, as soon as precipitation blossoms over southern IL area it kills the precipitation further north, hence the screw hole as the southern part takes over LOL at IKK on 23z HRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 RAP has been coming in wetter for some areas, with nice snows likely across a good portion of MDX-DVN-LOT CWA... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 This is above my own head so quasi-educated guessing but I know southern convection has been somewhat of a a concern and is not well modeled sometimes (I think it really messes with the NAM/GFS) as to robbing moisture. It seems to me that with a more W-E progression of this system as opposed to a sharper cutter the convection should lag behind the moisture plume feeding this system. Some of the models have shown a quick "drying out" on a few runs on the backside of this system So I'm curious if below could be the reason some of the wrap around moisture gets cut off.....

Jackstraw Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 KIND's Aviation discussion describes the challenges for their forecast quite well.. The challenges begin when it comes to the degree of warming aloft with the system and ultimately the impacts that will have on precip type...especially Saturday morning. There continues to be a zone where mixed precipitation looks likely near and just south of I-70. Model soundings though bear out the challenges in precip type as temperatures near freezing exist between 2500 and 4500 ft for several hours near and after daybreak Saturday. Any fluctuation of a few tenths of a degree either way could be the difference between mainly snow and a mixture of snow...freezing rain...sleet or even rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say that’s fair for the entire area. Pretty much wherever that band sets up gets 9-10” and some serious rippage. Regardless the open space of NW Ohio is going to lead to blizzard conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 LOT aviation discussion: " The intial band of snow expected late this afternoon and evening shifted north"..sorry this is why I get frustrated. LOT has done a fine job laying out a complicated forecast and than a guy comes in and it's like he's completely out of touch. Even the late afternoon AFD lays out perfectly how things should develop. Worse, anybody remotely tuned in knew the initial frontal band would be displace north of the state line. Did this guy not get the memo? I'm going to roll this back a bit as it could be a met coming on commenting on what he thought would transpire 24 hrs ago. Obviously, weather is ever changing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amt5626 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just me or does ridging not looking as strong over eastern Canada at the moment as some models had? Most had the 1032 line stretching out pretty far east by 0Z tonight, but it is roughly a couple hundred miles or so to the west right now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 00z HRRR has the precip minimum right through here. Hopefully some of the banding can play out a bit differently and it's not quite so bad, but other models are singing a similar tune so this is not out of the realm of possibility by any stretch. Wouldn't be surprised to only get a few inches from the system snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
