Super Bowl Weekend Major Snowstorm


Tom

Recommended Posts

The first half of January began very promissing as many on this forum were able to tack onto their season snowfall totals.  However, the second half has been lack luster until now.  Global models are stepping in the right direction and starting to hone in on a possible major storm system to affect a large region of the central CONUS.  Let's discuss the potential of this storm system.

Believe in the LRC, folks in the Plains shouldn't give up hope.  I remember how sweet looking this system looked back on Dec 15th and the energy it had as it traversed the 4 corners region when I was in Arizona.  Marry this energy with the jet stream and you have a major storm system.

You dont think that temps will be too warm out here? NWS has us un the upper 30's on Saturday.

Just look what happened on the East Coast and how accurate the LRC has been with that system.  Back on Dec 10th or so, there was a storm system that was cut-off along the east coast and didn't really produce that big a snow storm if I remember correctly.  Now, use that assumption with this system and you can begin to figure out the potential with this storm.

Wow, even half of that would be our biggest storm this year lol.  Still will probably remain pessimistic until nowcasting time.

How's EURO looking Tom?

Just got in from a late night gym session....here is the 00z Euro...loads up the Precip totals from the Plains to the Midwest with widespread 1.0" qpf totals...that would easily be 6-12"+ from Omaha to Chicago...a wet dream for those Nebraska folks!

Seems like the major models are getting a handle on the increased QPF. Will be interesting to see if the trend continues of increased Qpf.

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Sucky part of this storm is it correlates to the storm in November that came out as an open wave. It gave us advisory type snows, which I would take. This year's LRC just isn't conductive to produce our large widespread lows for us to enjoy. Lets sit back, enjoy what we get this winter and wait till next year. (sorry that's my inner cub fan thinking for this winter.)
