Grizzcoat Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 DMX- thought about issuing warnings- but doesn't exactly know where heaviest bands will set up. Says areas of 3-5" will likely see pockets of 6-7". #ontheroadto72" .DISCUSSION.../Today through Saturday/ Issued at 358 AM CST Sun Feb 21 2021 Today: Long-wave trough that been developing over the western CONUS is beginning to split into two separate short-wave features with the first jet streak ejecting into the central Plains, and the second moving from the Four Corners Region into the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. The northern jet streak and associated vorticity maxima has resulted in surface lee cyclogenesis in the last 12-18 hours and has phased well, allowing the surface cyclone to deepen. Ahead of the cyclone, stronger WAA has been ongoing between the Missouri River Valley and Mississippi River Valley, and isentropic ascent will continue to strengthen this morning. With H5 height falls ongoing across the forecast area, expect snow showers to begin developing and expanding across western Iowa after 4am or so, being aided by the isentropic ascent. As of 3am CST the OAX radar is already showing snow shower activity in eastern Nebraska. Still expecting the area with greatest snowfall accumulations to be along the Interstate 80 corridor and northward, then eventually dropping off north of Hwy. 18. There is a still a decent amount of uncertainty for precipitation south of Interstate 80. First, a discussion in the area with greater confidence in accumulating snow. This area will be along a line from Atlantic northeast to Ames to Waterloo. From a sounding perspective, snow will be the dominant precipitation type as the DGZ remains saturated, and the layer below maintains a RH above 85 percent with temperatures below freezing. Along and north of Interstate 80, there is no indication of a warm-nose above freezing. Further, there is also decent lift through the DGZ in this area, with omega ranging between -8 to -15. Interestingly, the 00z deterministic GFS/NAM do not depict overly robust frontogenetical processes within the deformation zone, as the surface cyclone center moves along the IA- MO border. With the strength of this short-wave and synoptic forcing, typically would expect there to be stronger frontogenesis. 00z deterministic ECMWF is similar. However, several of the 00z CAMs do have a band of stronger frontogenesis around 750mb from Atlantic to Waterloo. The HRRR for example produces multiple pockets of 6 to 7 inches within the wider swath of 4 to 6 inches along and north of Interstate 80. Further, multiple members of the 00z GEFS also hint at a wide swath of 4 to 6 inches, with pockets of 6 to 7 inches. The 00z HREF mean remains consistent with this swath of 4 to 6 and max values of 6 to 7. Given the strength of the synoptic system, the CAMs stronger frontogenesis bands within the deformation zone of the cyclone are credible, and therefore a reasonable solution. However while they have the general swath of heavier snow accumulations, the HRRR, NSSL WRF, NAM Nest, and other CAMs are not in complete agreement with where localized amounts of 6 to 7 inches may occur. Because snowfall amounts of 6 to 7 inches will be isolated and likely spaced apart by up to 30 miles in some instances, will continue to just maintain the Winter Weather Advisory for today. Trying to capture the locally higher amounts with a Winter Storm Warning would result in an unnecessarily large warning with respect to the areal extent of it. Instead, will simply highlight that the areas forecast to have 3 to 5 inches could see a few pockets of 6 to 7 inches. 12z-18z will be the time of highest snowfall rates for west-central and central Iowa, as HREF mean points to rates between 0.75-1.00 inch per hour.
