Hoosier Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Been thinking a lot about this setup. For Chicago metro, I feel like where/how quickly the surface low really starts to explode is going to be a big factor. If this process happens say about 6 hours sooner (and maybe only a few hours for the Indiana counties in LOT), then there could be substantially more precip pulled back westward toward the city. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 00z HRRR is fairly uninspiring. Slow to get the low cranking farther south.

But you guys have a bit more room for surprises than out here as we are relying solely on the initial band over performing while you guys have the added benefit of a very dynamic, potentially strong system developing very quickly practically overhead. Much higher likelihood for good surprises. Honestly, while I am admittedly a little salty about how this looks to have turned out, ultimately we still have snow on the ground heading into Christmas which not everyone can say who is also getting screwed by this storm. So I don't have much room to complain, I suppose. All those GFS Op runs a day or so ago (losing track of time, lol) that had Chicago and E Wisco getting bombed while I got more and more RN and dryslotting.

Meaning, all models are more accurate closer to the event so is that accuracy 24 hours out or 48 or 72.

Back to the west where cold and snow more likely, and even some more for IN & OH even. Cannot remember if/when I last saw or noticed Lk Erie under a Storm Watch. Usually by the time these strong winter storms come together, that lake is mostly ice covered. Prolly went Storm Warned by upgrade tho during some autumn gale a few yrs ago. .MARINE... A storm watch has been issued for all of Lake Erie starting at 12Z Friday with a current end time of 15Z Saturday for the western basin, and 0Z Sunday for the rest of the lake. A very strong cold front will move west to east across the lake Friday morning, ushering in strong, southwesterly winds of 40 to 50 knots with higher gusts of 60 to perhaps 65 knots possible. These strong, southwesterly winds will persist through Friday into Saturday. Low water is also possible across the western basin of the lake, with current forecasts suggesting water levels to fall as low as 3 to 4 feet below the low water datum. Finally, in addition to the strong winds, an anomalously-cold air mass will descend south across the Great Lakes. Heavy freezing spray will be likely across much of the lake beginning Friday afternoon with the threat persisting through Saturday. A Heavy Freezing Spray Watch may be needed going forward. 2 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
