1/24-1/25 Major Winter Storm

[A-L-E-K]

This is happening and despite the greatest impacts likely occurring outside the sub, it looks like southern and eastern portions of our sub are backing their way into a potentially major event. Either way, gonna be a fun even to track given the likely high impact weather for a large portion of the eastern us

suspect any corridor down south that ends up zr instead of pingers is gonna be fucked for a week+

Let's reel this in!!

Euro with another bounce North at 6z.

First call 10”

can't be that much worse than my call for last night

[Chicago WX]

Kinda gives me Jan 1999 vibes. Big moisture laden system running into an arctic airmass. Snow field with that one was very expansive. Yeah, I'm not calling for a repeat at all, just saying the "similarities" as currently modeled.

And probably a good sign that Alek has gone from congrats Greensboro to congrats NYC.

I’ve been out to lunch. We in play here?

At this point, yeah. 
 

6z Euro bumped north again.

[mimillman]

ERCOT should have an interesting test again 

[Cary67]

For those concerned north of I-80

Been a good winter, why not!

[DocATL]

0.75” in Naperville. Was thinking 0.5” but the tick north on 06z convinced me otherwise. I anticipate a healthy dose of virga.

[Chambana]

Oh. I’m in play. What a dramatic shift. No work getting done today

Maybe an earlier phase and big nw jump last 12 hours like ghd1. 

[sbnwx85]

6z Euro bumped north but the precip shield wasn’t as expansive on the northwest side, so Southern Wisconsin doesn’t get in on the action like the 00z run. Keep in mind this also includes dusters and lake effect.

Still all kinds of time for indy/dtw to reel it in. Years ago these would almost always trend nw. Who knows anymore.

[Malacka11]

This must be what MSP mfs feel like

[ILSNOW]

12z NAM fantasy long range nice jump north from 6Z

[WestMichigan]

The ICON is a modest jog north from the 00Z run.

It is fun watching storms slowly creep into MN while the rest of the board quits winter and Alek trots out the Eurythmics

But also I spent almost a decade in downtown Chicago so I put in my time watching white rain pour down at 33 degrees.

Seems like this could turn into a classic sleet slop fest for I-70. Seen it too many times

[wxfromthelook]

model swings in the past 24 hours have gone from a few inches IMBY to bordering on something historic IMBY. gonna be fun regardless

always a possibility, but remember ...  the winner is whoever gets closest to the mix line without going over.      There is a caveat too, if mix plays in, it would come at the end of this and after one hell of an overrunning thump.   Someone mentioned Jan 1999, that's what happened with that storm, we picked up 9" before it changed to drizzle, and that storm drove up well west of us, (I think the low went up into Indiana).

12z GFS still says "not so fast!"

[nwohweather]

Haha it’d be something if we back into this one

[DocATL]

Quite a bit north at 96 hrs but then the northern energy quickly moves east.

[HillsdaleMIWeather]

GFS is north but still well south of the other models 

[NoDoppler4TonySandz]

We have all seen this over the years.... holding on to the hope of the GFS finally being right, in spite of what every thing else says....
