Potential Winter Storm 3/23 & 3/24

[Geos]

Almost outta the north? 33atm

 

Winter radar showing snow on the northeast side of the city right now.

 

It's about where the EURO was Money.

Front is pushing south as it gets later.

Close to 4 inches down

Close to 4 inches down

Your in for a fun ride in a few hours...staying up late tonight? Roast up that pot of coffee.

[Geos]

HRRR is showing this for ice, but I have yet to hear about any.

Ya will wait up for the good stuff.

[Geos]

There's the SLP.

Looks like they went colder, but lowered totsls

[Madtown]

32.2 degrees

[Jaycee]

The heavy snow has definitely reached its peak here in Red Wing. Meanwhile, I'm more tipsy than j-Kwon after getting blasted off a keg, so I'm not sure if I'll be up to witness it all night. Gotta love spring break! Planning on downing some coffee here soon, but I think MAYBE we'll get 8", but there will definitely be more south near GoSaints. Congrats man! Should be an awesome night!

RAP really explodes the 2nd defo in southern wi around 18z tomorrow with .3-.5 qpf in 3 hours

[jlp]

Looking forward to it. Hopefully we can score a couple inches.

[Money]

Nam with 6+ in eastern wi tomorrow afternoon

[jlp]

That would be awesome.

[Tom]

NAM really wraps that line of storms into the cold sector band over WI

4km NAM is even bigger with the 2nd defo band:

Actually those numbers are light. Here's the full 4km nam snowfall:

6.3 for MSN, and over 8 for Milwaukee for tomorrow afternoon. 

[Madtown]

Wow that would be a suprise

[jlp]

Yea that would be a big surprise

[Geos]

Keep on expanding that second band!

 

Models continuing to run too warm in the area, so could see more of that rain tomorrow flip to snow early.

 

Down to 35.1°

[gosaints]

Lol Nam says 12 inches plus between 10pm and 4 am. not likely. Gonna go sit on on the deck and take it in. Hope you guys score tomorrow.

[Madtown]

Whiskey and a cigar in 2"/hr rates. Have a good one!

[Madtown]

If that second deformation forms, when does that start 1pm? Sitting at 32 right now.

[Geos]

SLP and radar.

Low going to crossing over MCI it looks like.

 

 

[Geos]

Of that second definitely forms, when does that start 1pm? Sitting at 32 right now.

 

About that. NAM keeps you below freezing now from here on out. Sleet and freezing rain should be the precip type for the next 14 hours.

 

Front was supposed to be on the rebound several hours ago, but there is no sign that it will.

Winter radar showing James getting dumped on with snow now.

 

Sleet transition is taking place about 30 miles NW of here. BUU reporting it. Just dropped down to 34.7°.

[Jaycee]

If I could post videos on here, I'd love to show you guys the one I had about 45 minutes ago. It had to be 3-4" rates for like 20 minutes. Unreal. Slowed down and continues to fizzle, but that was truly amazing.

[gosaints]

Banding about to blow in...

I was watching TWC earlier and reports of 3-4"/hr in S MN were coming in. Definitely believe it! The roads looked like a disaster. Congrats man! Now it's GoSaints/James turn.

[Money]

Good luck gosaints

[Geos]

Thinking once that band hits, sleet could start. It's acting to cool the atmosphere at the northern end. Mixing indicated in western Racine County now. 0.11" of rain so far. 34.5°

 

GFS passing the low where the EURO had it at 12z.

 

 

 

Freezing line in southern Milwaukee County now back towards Lake Geneva, WI.

[Snowshoe]

Just measured a measly 1.5". At this point I'd be surprised to reach 12".

 

I've seen reports around here higher so I don't know what gives.

[james1976]

I hate it. 32 and torrential rain here. No ice, sleet or snow. Talk about being on the edge....

[Geos]

Radar looks really patchy in your area Snowshoe, not sure what to make of it. Hopefully that band will start to form better as moisture comes up.

 

 

I was hoping you were getting dumped on James. 

[Money]

Gosaints area looks like it's getting nailed right now

[Geos]

Gosaints area looks like it's getting nailed right now

 

Yeah he's at the receiving end of the moisture plume. 

[Geos]

EURO no longer showing rising temps in the morning, just steady and then downhill going towards late morning. Should be snowing by 3pm.

 

 

SLP never went up into the corner of NW MO. Will probably follow the front just north of I-70 tonight.

 

[Money]

Snowing good here. HRRR is off a bit and showed mixing way up into northern Oshkosh.

 

Mix/snow line is down in southern part of Fond du Lac down towards northside of Madison.

[Grizzcoat]

Blizzard warning for the Green Bay area is pretty weak--- wind wise.  1/4SM VIS and winds are not present--- see definition of a Blizzard.
