Tom Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yup. She's' going to bomb out.These type of systems coming out of the Gulf are some of the most memorable storms that hit the Midwest/Lakes, especially when they bomb out.

tim the weatherman Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 accuweather has said that a shift could go further west or east and they also has said tha mainly rain along the coast and mostly the apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEJeremy Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 neat. if the Euro is right, we'll have 40-50 mph winds and no snow here in Nebraska. Just cold and windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 i am truly thinking that from chicago to detroit needs to be cautious about this in case this storm does go negative tilt.Right now, we need it to get neg tilt earlier so it can throw back more moisture into cold sector. After tonights runs, I think its a good idea for me to start a Thread for this system even though its 6 days out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I wouldn't even worry about precip or precip amounts though. Models are going to have a hard enough time determining when the phasing occurs let alone precip amounts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I wouldn't even worry about precip or precip amounts though. Models are going to have a hard enough time determining when the phasing occurs let alone precip amounts There will be already 2 monster storms in 1 months time to be exact in our region. How often does that happen??? Very scarce and probably a very good indicator what we can expect the rest of this winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Both NAO/AO/PNA all suggest that this could phase a bit quicker than what the models are showing now. In fact, the first piece may even dig farther south due to the AO tanking. Lots of time left and 12 more Euro runs to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Remember the storm a month ago how it took until like 48-72 hours from within the event to figure out the snow aspect? Could be the same thing with this storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 2nd storm looks sheared but still has some snows in the Plains/Midwest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 imo the thing we should be watching for in the next 3-4 days is the northern stream. If models trend that farther south, than this thing could phase even more. If it stays more northerly (like GGEM is showing) than the phase will occur way too far east for most in this area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Here are all the models (UKMET/GGEM/GFS) at HR 120 GGEM: http://img.meteocentre.com/models/gemglb_amer_12/GZ_D5_PN_120_0000.gif UKIE http://img.meteocentre.com/models/ukmet_amer_12/GZ_D5_PN_120_0000.gif GFS http://img.meteocentre.com/models/gfs_amer_12/GZ_D5_PN_120_0000.gif Anyone notice the difference between GFS/UKIE and the GGEM?

However, for this storm there is way more blocking available to allow the first piece to dig farther south and phase earlier. The trend on the Euro has been farther south with the first piece so that is def something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yeah just can't generate much snow at all like you'd think it would with all the warm air being pulled into the circulation. West of say a GRB-MKE-IKK line stay cold enough for snow but the precip can't get this far west as the main precip slug moves almost due north. Sfc low bottoms out at 961mb. The wave rounding the base of the trof digs so far south allowing for warm air to advect northward so you get a situation where your strongest CAA is coming in and wrapping around and your WAA is getting pulled up and around to the north of the sfc low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
