2/14-2/17 Possible Winter Storm Train

[Minny_Weather]

Iowa has bad corn!

The first thing you see when you enter Iowa is Council Bluffs. That's all you need.

[Minny_Weather]

OAX Grids have "heavy snow" wording in the forecast tomorrow for Lincoln. With high ratios and low winds, this may be KLNK's best shot at a 6"+ event all winter. Funny since it's barely a storm and more like a moderate clipper passing through quickly. 

Sorry I shoulda multiquoted. Duuuuuude we could see some epic rates tomorrow if the higher-rez models are to be believed. Around 6" in just 3 hours on the NAMily.

I’m not from Iowa

Your football team blows. (For now)

Have you heard about us in the news the past couple days? Yikes. I think Frost is clean but most people outside our fanbase think he isn't. Either way this is a step in the wrong direction for the progress of our program.

Yea just read an article. Not a good person indeed...

[Minny_Weather]

Cutoff shifted a few miles SW on normie NAM. .

[Clinton]

First wave nam, keeps shifting sw

If this trend continues I will get a WSW tomorrow.

[East Dubzz]

Nice second wave on that run.

[Hawkeye]

00z NAM is stronger with the second wave's upper energy, has a nice area of 0.30-0.40+" across central and eastern Iowa.  Meanwhile, the euro has been moving it to nw Iowa.

Cutoff shifted a few miles SW on normie NAM. s**t.

Trends are not our friend LNK... at least the models have sucked this year around here, so there's still some hope! 

[Hawkeye]

00z ICON is drier, going the other way.

[Minny_Weather]

HRRR is pretty dry too. Still has the best amounts over here.

[bud2380]

FV3 is running concurrently with the GFS on pivotal now. Nice to see it updating quicker. Showing about 4” for Cedar Rapids. Regular GFS 3” Sunday.

[Niko]

Could see some flurries here IMBY, otherwise mostly cloudy skies will prevail w temps holding in the 20s. Most of the action will be way south from my area.

[Hawkeye]

00z Canadian has brought the second wave back... looks similar to the NAM.

 

It appears all the models are drifting south with wave 1.

Is it *really* nice to see it updating quicker though?

I enjoy getting my dream maps that will change in 6 hours as fast as possible!

i don't even bother with the CMC or ICON, FV3 anymore- they are a stretch to even call them guidance when compared with the big boys.

No doubt. I sometimes look at the CMC with clippers, but not usually for QPF totals. That models is ALWAYS too juiced up. Seems to be the same way for the FV3 now, too. But at least that has the excuse of being a “work in progress.”

[Grizzcoat]

UKie rather dry for both waves it seems...

[Hawkeye]

00z UK - generally drier all around, but still a solid 0.30" for east-central/southeast Iowa.

 

[jcwxguy]

00z euro 1st wave

[jcwxguy]

Wave 2

[Grizzcoat]

Euro doubled QPF here in C.IA from 12Z- (.15" to .31")---- it may be caving to the GFS.

[jcwxguy]

Both waves

[snowstorm83]

Yikes, not like the last minute SW trend for tomorrow. It's getting pretty late in the game now though so I guess just pray.

Radar has proven models wrong before. But for anything good to happen, I need to go full blown snowlover76 in threads. For the next 24 hours in this thread, I'm just gonna be like him.

[Minny_Weather]

**** this winter and **** this garbage state. AGW may as well accelerate 2,000 years because that's where we're heading. Sunshine pumpers saying we're gonna do well smh wash rinse repeat the beat goes on

[Minny_Weather]

I shouldn't be posting in this forum while I'm on the effects of (legally prescribed) codine, should I?

[Grizzcoat]

06Z NAM first wave even misses KC with heaviest... wow.

[Grizzcoat]

06Z 3KM NAM first wave--

[Grizzcoat]

snows for over 24 hours for most of IA on the 2nd wave according to the 06NAM and latest Euro...

[Grizzcoat]

both waves from 06Z nam

[Grizzcoat]

2nd Wave 06Z nam 3km (still snowing for many)
