Niko Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Per NOAA: The clipper system for the evening of Dec 24th warrants monitoringas the models are advertising the potential for favorable track ofBritish Columbia potential vorticity. The question is whether or notthis PV anomaly will be able to sneak ahead of a main midlevelvorticity lobe that will be turning hard from a neutral to negativetilt over the central part of the country. Plenty of moving parts towork through, but the potential for a light snowfall accumulationappears possible for at least a portion of the cwa Sunday 18Z toMonday 06Z.

hlcater Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 GFS is way, way more aggressive with the PV sliding southward over the central US. As such a dry, cold NW flow regime is in place and any hopes of a significant SW flow event from the 28-30th is non-existent on this run. The euro still has something, which is nice.

Hoosier Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Nice trends bud! Say, I was surprised when I posted the NWS WSWarn history map to see KLOT issued one just 11 days ago? I don't remember, where/what was that for? As the models converge towards #realsnow threats for Sun/Monday, ofc GRR goes the other direction in my local 5-day, removing the "snow likely" and replacing it with "chance of SHSN"...gotta love it! I think that warning was for the Porter county lake effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOOOOO. Lol it looks great for Iowa don't get me wrong, but yuck. Like yeah obviously clippers are great, I had my fair share in Minnesota. But there is nothing, like a monstrous Colorado Low. Seriously what can top that? Having a storm that lays 12" of snow from Nebraska all throughout the Midwest? Would you rather catch a bunch of bluegill or a giant musky? Obviously I'm bias towards Colorado lows cuz we actually get snow when those happen, but I reallyyyy hope it comes back I miss being on those topics that have pages on end where we're all watching a massive storm develop.
