Jack_GradStudent Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hey all! New to the forum. Pursuing a master's in meteorology at SLU-- looking forward to some great weather discussion! https://whatgoesonoutside.wordpress.com/2020/12/27/an-all-of-the-above-kind-of-week/ Subscribe to my blog! I blog about weather in the KC (being from there) and STL. Really looking forward to especially tracking the end of the week storm-- not going to be much in the form of snow here in KC, but Tuesday morning does look interesting with temps being just below freezing presenting chances for snow, sleet, freezing rain, then going to all rain by the afternoon.

Minny_Weather Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 FGF is hugging & kissing the ensembles. What a pathetic Winter here. Quote Confidence continues to increase regarding the Colorado system taking a more south and easterly track in its evolution Tue into Wed. Ensemble solutions still exhibit small variability within the solution envelope. This is also reflected by the suite of deterministic solutions taking on a low track farther east of our forecast area, over a Iowa/Wisconsin tract. Isentropically induced forcing well ahead of the low pressure center looks to be the primary snow generating mechanism over most of the area from Tue afternoon into the night. Wind induced impacts, at least for now, appear to be on the low side, more aligned with drifting as opposed to blowing. Maximum wind speeds would most likely be attained over areas after the snow has fallen, further reducing impacts to low levels. Snowfall amounts for our area still the main question mark, but again would turn out the lowest from Devils Lake through the northern Valley, with increasing amounts for southeast North Dakota and west central Minnesota. High pressure building over us Wed will then bring near seasonal temps our way for couple of days, followed by a weekend warmup. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.
