Tom Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 It's been an interesting few days tracking this potential system as the models initially were flashing a wound up storm cutting NW and delivering a major storm but then lost it Day 5-7. Suddenly, the models are now sniffing it back again in the medium range. Over the years of tracking systems when a major pattern flip is under way, esp when we are dealing with the real deal surge of Arctic Air, the models have a difficult time figuring out waves along the thermal gradient. With that being said, overnight guidance per the latest EPS has grown that a S stream energy will track along this arctic front up into the S MW/OHV. This system has eyes for our KC/MO members into the Lower Lakes region and even possibly for our NE/IA members. Let's discuss... 00z Euro Control... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have 10:1 available with this map. I’m glad to see the models are trending towards the original idea. This one has that look to become a Big Dog. Like you said, we finally have a real storm/Arctic connection in play. I always enjoy powdery storms with wind. Hope these trends continue! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 06 GFSv16. Nice trends this morning. Should be a high ratio snow with wind and very cold temps. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKEKC Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 UKIE....12Z Still likes KC somewhat.... 3 inches of snow on this run We just need a strong enough disturbance, won't need much moisture in 10-15 degree air to produce a good 2-4 inch snow. I really feel KC needs to score here in the next 2-3 weeks with all this cold air in the pattern. COME ON BABY! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Weather apps are showing my area receiving 2-4" late Friday night through Saturday.

Niko Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 NOAA on board so far: Model data continues to show a lobe of planetary vorticity, large wavelength trough, swinging through the Great Lakes on Sunday. Recent ECMWF runs show a direct hit with deeper synoptic moisture and accumulating snow. Most noteworthy item for the time period is the brutal arctic cold being advertised from Sunday through the middle of next week. Note: I just hope the EC does not steal the show. 2 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!
