Looks like 7.6” reported at MSP as of 7 am

That jives with what I’m measuring 1-2mi north of the airport.

Once again, a tricky forecast to try nailing for LOT when models continue to shift areas of warning criteria snow in the NW areas.

Although, selfishly, the most recent Euro would be insane for my area.

Edit: actually maybe 7.3 officially, the 7.6 was at NWS office? Academic though.

Hard to be disappointed about the relative “underperformance” with those numbers across the metro at our latitude. Especially knowing it was always gonna be a +/- 50 miles situation with the heaviest band.

Will certainly be a fun 24 hours. See how long it'll take gusts to start, hoping for  some good GV storms maybe in a few hours, and I'd love to reel in some surprise death band tomorrow morning with winds but not holding onto that one ofc. Would love to see it happen though

12z HRRR hot off the presses

La Crosse AFD update talking about heavy thunder sleet this morning. Miss me with that!

Got to hand it to the GFS. Nailed the placement of the jackpot zone many days ago. Today is going to be a lot of fun.

Not a flake here in town yet. They still think L superior will produce along the shore tho with 3+". Looks like 1-2" across N WI into EC MN so far.

Here's the CoCoRahs site to get a better look at totals. They don't always get uploaded to the snow map right away. Just click the map (will open in a new tab), and make your parameter adjustments with the map options. https://www.cocorahs.org/

 

EDIT: Soon as I post this, --SN started.

Nudged just above 32 here as a line of thunderstorms is about to move through.  Will be curious to see what kind of precip they have

Is the nam actually doing something legit or is that just noise? I understand that we've been trending minorly better for NE IL again but

Morning storms looking fairly robust too. Saw some peeks of sun outside too

Officially thundersleet.  Some of the best 32.4 degree thunderstorms I’ve seen in my life

Seems to me LOT has played this pretty good thus far.

Agree how many times have we been forecasted to get 1-3 from a deformation band and end up with 30 minutes of flurries
