Potential Winterstorm 1/30-2/1

I'd also like to say that you might want to pay particular attention to the NAM as it gets in range as it does well with these marginal temp/evap cooling dependent snow systems.

2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha)

TOTAL: 10.2"

(12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") 

(1/1: 6.4")

NOAA says, there is a chance for "Heavy snow" for SEMI.....but not ironed out yet, which is totally acceptable at this range.

Quote: This system has the potential to bring snowfall to parts of the area
by late Saturday night into Sunday/Sunday night. However, the
northern extent of heavy snowfall that will be associated with this
system remains highly in question as the aforementioned high
pressure, centered over Quebec by late in the weekend, will act to
shunt the northeastward progress of this system as it encroaches on
the region. This will become the biggest challenge of the forecast
in the coming days. With the high pressure centered more to the east
by that time, temperatures will moderate to some degree with highs
closer to 30 from Sunday into early next week and lows in the teens
to around 20.

🤔

Btw:  I dont recall the previous storm having any hard time moving north, meanwhile it was forecasted to stay south........

Long-range NAM is a bit north of most models.  After what happened with the last storm (and many others in the past) I don't want to be on the southern edge.

FWIW, the ICON has the same good low track as other models, but has the mix all the way up to near the MN/IA border when the precip first breaks out.  The best snow falls over ne IA.

DVN doesn't really have too much to add to the discussion.  Heavy snow is likely in the area, but the exact details will depend on how far north the mid level warmth gets.

Looks to be taking on a negative tilt if I am seeing this correctly

 

More of a neutral tilt closed low aloft. Starts negative in the 4 corners, then closes off.

I hate to complain considering how fortunate we've been, but this would be more lousy timing.  I want to see the snow fall during daylight.  Daytime snow is much more enjoyable than overnight snow.

The last storm had quite a bit of daylight snow for me. But I realize the good snow started later in C.R.

Slight shift north in eastern IA as well on the Euro mean.  Still pretty good here.  I like where CR is.  20 miles to the south, it's starting to get a little bit border line.  It would only take another 30 mile shift north on the Euro to be right on the edge.  Lots of time to work out those details though.  Let's see if DVN finally starts talking about this storm with a little more urgency.  

I’ve been borderline with p/type issues all winter.

GFS super warm

GFS is garbage for this system.  Same low track as other models, but has mix through the entire storm for Cedar Rapids.  Not going to happen.

Still basically no precip in Lincoln on the GFS, which I would take over a potential cold rain I guess. But the GFS was wandering around blindfolded with pants around its ankles until 48 hrs out with the last storm. Not going to be a biggie here regardless, but should keep in mind farther east. 

Snowfall in Lincoln, NE:

2017-18: 21.4"   2018-19: 55.5"   2019-20: 17.6"   2020-21: 49.4"   2021-22: 5.1" 🤮

Average: 26"

GFSV16 much better though.  Still snowing for many

GFSv16 is close to other models, but still has some patchiness in the snow band over Iowa because of some odd mixing issues.

Its looking like a prolong snowevent for my neck of the woods and some others peeps as well. I might be looking at LES early next week, which could have it snowing here till possibly Tuesday afternoon. Have to see how that goes.

That piece of energy that will affect some of us this weekend is still offshore out in the Pacific and should make it onshore sometime tomorrow. Models will at that point have a much clearer picture of the situation.
