Tom Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Folks, the beat goes on in this impressive pattern that keeps on delivering storm systems across our Sub. Will some folks score more Spring snow and surpass 50"?? Clinch 1st place??? It'll take a lot more for Chicago to join the bunch but the signals are there that measurable snowfall later this this weekend are in the cards and may cause the MLB to cancel the Cub's game on Sunday. The 00z Euro has trended towards the other models and has shifted the heaviest snow band SE across portions of E IA/N IL/NE MO/WI. The NAM models paint a similar picture as well. Besides the snow, lot's of precip being depicted and we can't forget about the Severe Wx potential down in the deep South. Let's discuss...

bud2380 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 12z NAM with a shift further NW. Fairly similar to the Euro, which finally caved to the SE. Still enough time for this to shift either way another 50-100 miles for sure. This will be such a narrow band. Hard to believe these amounts with much of this daytime snow with marginal temps, but seeing some flakes would be kind of cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attm, looking like best (worst?) scenario is a 2-4" Kuchera hit which due to mid-April would be more like a 1-2" deal, aka where mby's spent most of the winter, lol.

Iowawx Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 This is disappointing. My snowfall total for this winter was 50.8". I was hoping to add to that, and it's funny how the last storm had all the snow to the north and now this one will be to the east?? Still hoping for a last minute shift west.

Tom Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 It still seems like there will be a Palm Sunday snow event across the area as you head out to Church Sun morning. I don't think I've ever experienced a snow system on Palm Sunday so that'll check off the bucket list I guess. I think the 06z NAM model is being to aggressive...higher rez NAM prob with the better approach... 06z Canadian... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 If the forecasted 2-4 inches of snow fall happens then there could be a new record snow fall for April 14th in west Michigan. Here are the record snow falls for April 14th At Grand Rapids the record is 1.6” in 2014 with 1.4” in 1939 in 2nd place and 0.5” in 1905 in 3rd place. At Lansing the record is 1.5” in 1939 with 1.0” in 1892 in 2nd place and for Muskegon the record is 2.0” in 1905 and in 2nd place is 1.6” in 2014. Of note of the above years 1905 and 2014 had very cool summers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you score some fun out of this. If this is the last snow of the season, it’s a great way to end a season!
