January 29-February 2nd Winter Storm

[WildWisconsinWeather]

Terrible its the juiciest of any model run yet!?

 

It's too amped for many on this forum, there may be a screw zone for those between the two waves.

[gosaints]

Yes I figured it was an imby post, but I wouldnt worry about the NAM being north and amped at this point. 

[gosaints]

RGEM also has a juicy first systembut should also be expected this far out with that model

[Tom]

18z RGEM farther south than 18z NAM...only goes out thru 12z Thursday but you can see the trajectory...

 

 

[Tom]

RGEM has been very good handling these Clippers this year...I would expect a track through C IA.

[ChiTownWeather]

caplan posted this map to his fb page. he think 1-2 for thursday one, then several inches on saturday and a more southern track for the larger 4-5th storm. 

[gosaints]

We are used to looking at clippers lately but this really is not a clipper

[Money]

Like where I sit for the Thursday system. Should be a solid 2-4 inch snowfall

[Money]

18z GFS, 4-6 for Chicago/MKE. Overall 6-8 for WI/IL/E. IA both systems combined. 

[Geos]

1-2" for this event forecasted. After this system I would like a system that has some guts to it!

 

[Tom]

18z GFS nice run...could also have some decent LehS with a wind off the lake.  Temps in low/mid 20's.

 

[Tom]

Mike Caplan's Microcast had widespread 6-8" totals through Saturday afternoon along I-80/88 corridor.  Naperville @ 8.0", ORD around 7.0".   Very healthy looking system for Fri/Sat.

Factor in thurs system of 2 inches I think right?

[Tom]

Yes, from both systems.

[East Dubzz]

DVN going with 1-2" for HWY 30 and north for the first system. I would be very happy with that, but I remain skeptical.

[Geos]

I'm going to say 1-2" for Thursday-Friday here. Looks too far north. Should get me to 28" for the month.

 

[OmahaBubble]

Why can't we just get one dang storm in Omaha?  Stupid….. Enjoy another storm!

[Niko]

Im at 41.1inches of snow for the month. Incredible!

[East Dubzz]

DVN's view for Thursday:

[MarcusBeier]

Is this another Saturday night Snowstorm for SEMI?  the clubs/bars are hating this..whats the forecast for SEMI friends? Havent been on in a few days

[Tom]

SE MI looks good at this point, Detroit metro may get close to the rain/snow line but I think it will be a close call.  NW of Detroit looking good for 3-6".

[East Dubzz]

DBQ just reported -6 degrees already, wind chill -19. Temp is only supposed to get down to -9 here, according to the NWS. A site in East Dubuque is also reporting -12 in, which I don't believe. But the past two nights they have reported warmer than every other site, so I just don't get it.

[DominicR]

NAM is pretty robust with 1st wave on Thursday across MN/WI with a band of 3-6 inches at least. It does miss us completely in N IL. Not excited about this 1st round.

[Tom]

00z NAM coming in a tad south with 2nd system...However, farther north from its 18z run...

 

 

[East Dubzz]

I would be rather disgusted if that's how those two events ended up playing out! Lol!

[Scott26]

00z NAM coming in a tad south with 2nd system...However, farther north from its 18z run...

A shift is always a good sign. Just so it's not going further south lol.

[DominicR]

It's still snowing beyond 84hr range so this run good for us.

[Madtown]

one north and one south whats new this winter

[Tom]

00z RGEM...

 

 

[WildWisconsinWeather]

one north and one south whats new this winter

 

You guys got more than your fill last winter.  Same thing for Milwaukee this year, though some lake enhancement/effect helped from time to time.

[DominicR]

00z RGEM...

 

That's nice. Though I think the WAA will be strong enough to keep this furthur north with the 1st round.

[Tom]

00z GFS slowed the second system and now its coming in a little later on Saturday and a bit south this run...

Not as good at 18z but still shows a stripe of 3-7 inches just south of Chicago in N-Central IL/IN

[Tom]

Brant Miller from NBC 5 showing 5-8" for N IL for 2nd system...

[Geos]

GGEM is starting to run...

[East Dubzz]

I like what the RGEM is showing, at least it stopped going so far north.

[Geos]

At 54 hours.

 

 

[Tom]

00z GGEM precip thru 06z Saturday...

 

 

[Tom]

00z GGEM explodes...

 

[DominicR]

00z GGEM explodes...

 

Wow that a solid 6-12 inches with locally 12+ in IN.
