Money Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 MKE updated their snow amounts an hour ago to 3-6 inches across all of southern WI. They did say this: "High confidence that a significant amount of precip will fall. Less confidence in the temperature forecast. Subtle temp changes could result in drastically different precip types." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 NAM might take the low to the south of Chicago. It switches southern WI back to sleet but shows 1-2 inches of snow at least before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I've always struggled trying to project low tracks with pressure/height falls. Seems to be misleading much of the time. That map updates every hour though and is usually pretty accurate. If this center passes over the corner of LA and into south central AR, then I think it will be safe to say the low will stay on the east side of everything.

WildWisconsinWeather Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 NAM might take the low to the south of Chicago. It switches southern WI back to sleet but shows 1-2 inches of snow at least before that. It's a major win if we stay all sleet and snow (which I'm sure you will, but not as sure from Milwaukee/Janesville and south). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainbridgekid Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 No idea is nam is right but that low isnt going south of chicago on this run..It starts to double barrel at hour 21 which pulls it back due North. Going to go through extreme Eastern Iowa on this run. Great run for Des Moines, SE Minneapolis and SW Wisconsin.
