jaster220 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Apparently GRR likes that banding, and raises us another notch along 94 corridor.. .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)Issued at 330 PM EST Mon Feb 5 2018Will make a couple more tweaks to the current headlines as accumscontinue to trend a bit higher. Will add Ingham and JacksonCounties to the advisory. Also will end the advisory at 10Z as thisis a quick hitter and the snow should be over prior to the morningcommute.Coupled upper jet will be squarely over the region later thisevening, bringing the steady snow that was over IA and Northern ILinto Southern Lower. Snow accums in IA have been in the 4-5 inchrange, and since this will be lake enhanced expect at least thatamount to occur here.The lift from the upper jet will be strongest over the area south ofI-96, so it makes since to include Ingham and Jackson. Areas westof U.S. 131 will also see decent snows largely due to the lakeeffect. Mean flow early this evening will be about 250, but by lateevening it will pivot to 280-290. So this sprays the entire lakeshore as the moisture depth is healthy. Highest totals of 4-6inches are expected south and west of Hart to Freemont to BattleCreek. The advisory buffers this line to the north and east, for a 2-4 inch accums. The upper jet lifts away quickly, so have theadvisory only running until 10Z. The message will be the snow willbe over by the morning commute, but untreated roads will still beslick.

jaster220 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I think every Mid to Short Range model showed the dynamics of this wave crapping out as it headed to SMI, yet per the updated AFD, it appears to be holding onto it's moxy much better, thus the WWA's been bumped further eastward twice now. I think this bodes well for the other waves/systems coming our way later..

shakjen Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I-80 jack zone in IL. That E-W band is going to move continuously over the same area.Actually the heaviest is just south of I-80.

hlcater Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 While Hawkeye has been getting good flake size, my flakes are small at best although rates are intense. No idea how much I have, but it's probably about 3.5." We'll see 4", but 5 may be a stretch and certainly not 6, which was modeled. Meanwhile I would not be surprised to see 8" reports out of SE IA when all is said and done.

bud2380 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Sometimes you have to wonder what the NWS is looking at. This is basically completely wrong, the entire statement. Asof 2 PM, the main band of moderate to heavy snow is located betweenhighway 30 and just south of Interstate 80. Thus, far a bitfarther north than much of last night`s guidance suggested.

Hawkeye Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I wish some farmer south of Muscatine would send in a report. I got heavy snow under bright green radar returns. It has to be insane under the bright yellow/orange down there. We are getting moderate pixie dust as the storm begins to wind down. We should get another hour of this followed by lighter snow for an hour.

bud2380 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Up to 3.8". The wind has completely stopped here as well. We should get over 4" maybe up to 4.5". I'm not going to complain, that's right in the 4-6" range the NWS called for. I was hopeful for the higher totals shown on the HRRR and occasionally other models as well, but we just missed out here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
