1/24 - 1/26 TX Panhandle Cutter


Tom

Recommended Posts

Went back and pulled some maps from the last GO/Mex low we had.  There are some differences the first being it was cutoff the last time and there are no signs as of now that this one will be.  Also a ton of similarities especially for Oklahoma and Texas with precipitation and the track itself.  Also the models struggled big time with the previous storm, underestimating the QPF for all areas and never even getting close to my total 2 inches. Also the track was adjusted further west inside 84hrs.  It was a rare occasion that QPF outperformed the models and expectations.  That doesn't mean it will this time or that the storm will behave the same way.  But a further shift NW is certainly possible.

Subtle differences between @Tom's anticipated ORD Big Dog, and a decent "share it baby" storm for DTW

Ofc, the GFS went beast mode for SMI, which is typical.

I remember that. It was the Cut-off with zero cold air connection. Well, here it is lol. Latest models showing the precip weaker instead of stonger.

Models are notorious for struggling both with the
movement and timing of cut off lows (like the one digging into the
southwest) and also can struggle at times handling the interaction
of northern and southern stream waves, like is progged mid-week.
All of this to say, that current strong model agreement doesn`t
necessarily equate with high confidence in the forecast. If the
timing or amplitude of either wave changes much, then the degree
of interaction could change. Less interaction could result in a
sharper cut off to the snow on the northwest flank of the system,
or a track farther south could lessen our snow amounts. Conversely,
more interaction/phasing and the heavier snow with the TROWAL
could result in higher impact accumulations farther north into our
CWA.

Not to make a huge deal out of something that may be nothing but models were off my nearly an inch previously at mby.  I found this to be interesting though, I believe you finished with 1.04 inches.

DTX confirming that this GOMEX Low is quite the wet system:

Unseasonably high moisture will accompany this
system as PWAT values of around 0.25" this evening will quickly
climb between 0.75" to just over 1.00" by Sunday morning. These
values fall easily in the 90th percentile for this time of year. The
main surface low track will move over the Toledo area and into
western Lake Erie during the afternoon and place the best
deformation zone and subsequent higher rainfall totals of 0.50-1.00"
along and south of the I-69 corridor. Lower rainfall totals of 0.25-
0.50" are expected north of I-69.

Could say that's just an 18z run. Could say it's a step back from 12z. Could say that OHIO being ground-zero for today's appetizer is very bad ju-ju for 2nd storm. Could say (you come up with one)

EDIT - Nvrmd. I see the problem. New model here. (18z Euiro) I thought you had posted the EURO

Yep, remember clearly being excited for a winter version but leery of "no cold", and "no cold" could still be "no bueno" in the end.

Which is odd since the backside of Wed's storm keeps looking less and less robust (scratches head). The tree branches that had melted off look to be getting covered again.

Currently 57. Humidity at 37.  
A real chill in the air.  
Rain will arrive Tuesday.  Haven’t heard when this should change over to the frozen stuff.  
While it won’t last long I’m not looking forward to all those S. Californians on our highways.  
Some may be quite skilled, but some - oh boy!  Our city has changed a good deal and things haven’t really shaken out just yet.  
44 high, 34-32 low (estimated). Wind ~16mph. Overpasses will be slick.

The trailing shortwave that helps to force the cut off lows path is still in the GOA. That's coming onshore tonight near 9Z in BC Canada. Probably as that gets resolved it'll be the last chance for any adjustments. Being we are within 48 hours, I wouldn't count on any big changes at this point. Most of the differences we are seeing come down to microphysics/resolution...so probably ECMWF has the best bet of being "right". Might end up being 1-2" for me, or maybe less lol

Not sure what to think about this. They’re calling for 1-3” in my area. Marginal temps. I’ve only had around 5” all winter. I’m still hoping for at least one good storm before Spring. Not a fan of wet snow.

18z NAM is getting real interesting.  It continues to bring the heavy snow band further NW, warning level snows are now only about 35 miles to my south.  It also wraps in some more energy in Canada and pulls it south.

RDPS looks similar to the NAM

Nice. Been so long since anything was worthy of tracking and I have gotten a new laptop I lost track of what models run when exactly. Thx for keeping up with it all. Almost missed this nice graphic DTX published this morning. I see the NAM lingers snow all night (Wed) here and they mention some snow into the evening.

GFS Sub-1000mb at h60, and at h72 it now aligns with what the GEM showed 3 days ago 😆

Not a bad run, leaves me in a bit of a snowhole this run but nice big snow shield.

I don't always look at the snowfall maps since that will be the final puzzle piece to be put in place. Improved dynamics will usually portend improved output as well. I would love to stay at or below 32F all during the storm here. Going to be an uphill battle but NAM does it, and RGEM is really close so I think I have a shot.

CMC is improving for us also.
