The Snowman Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Personally I take more comfort in the fact that a significant storm is still being shown than a shift away from me locally; there's plenty of time for further shifts to occur, but the second we start seeing a weaker trend is something to *really* be concerned about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 People in NE/IA should not lose sleep trying to track a storm that is almost certainly not ours. Yea it could theoretically come this far north, but given the players on the field, it would be tremendously difficult to do so. Primarily we'd need the northern stream to weaken such that the cold front in behind that system doesn't advance quite so far south. Or the energy in the west needs to eject faster than it is currently on the models. Neither of which have been the trend today. I'd love this to come north as much as anyone, but it's time to be realistic. 3 Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 GRR still bullish.. Quote - Potential for an impactful winter storm mid week next week The most recent runs of the models are still showing a stronger mid to upper level wave dropping in from the northwest...strengthening as it does for the middle of next week. Gulf moisture gets drawn into this wave. PWAT anomalies clearly show this surge of Gulf moisture getting drawn into the OH Valley then. This leads to a large area of precipitation spreading into the CWA Wed into Thu. Overall most models are keeping the main type of precipitation as snow...but the freezing rain risk is fairly close to Jackson County which will need to be monitored. A colder trend in the models has been noted though. The models have trended up with the QPF and also have narrowed the window for heaviest QPF to Wednesday into Thursday. Unusually high confidence for better than a half inch of QPF exists for Grand Rapids. Putting this together...heavy snow is the main risk potential at this time for much of the CWA. The CIPS analogs also support the increased risk for a heavier snow for the area. We will increase POPs and highlight the potential in the Hazardous Weather Outlook at this time. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 From DTX overnight AFD. Looking better here.. Quote Medium range solutions continue to advertise potential for a significant winter system affecting Southeast Michigan Wednesday through Friday. Positively tilted longwave trough arises with rapid development of an elongated and energetic jet core as a Pacific wave phases with a perturbation in the polar low. One key factor to monitor lies with the strength and extent of southward expansion for the deepening polar low. 00Z/06Z solutions remain bullish in pushing the 1000-850 mb 130 dam thickness line south of the state-line by Wednesday morning in the wake of the arctic front. Forward propagation slows Wednesday PM into Thursday AM with the sharpest density gradient setting up along the international border and arcing southwest through the Mid-Mississippi Valley. This zone will contain the highest magnitude of positive H9-H7 baroclinicity. As long as the resultant ascent holds southeast of the state, long- duration snow production is favored, peaking Wednesday afternoon into Thursday. There is still uncertainty with regard to mixed- precip, especially for the Metro Detroit area. But as of now, ensemble guidance has fallen into the snow camp with a non-zero chance of double-digit totals by Friday morning. 3 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snowman Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Attaching a few excerpts of regional NWS AFDs I found interesting, as far as keys to trying to see past model mayhem. OMA: Quote ...The key to where the main band of snow will fall is expected to lie with the Monday system to the south. A slower and deeper system will favor a northward shift of the heaviest snow into the local area, while the opposite is true with a faster and weaker system. Trends will continue to be monitored... GID: Quote ...The 00Z GFS also trended further south with the accumulating snow, but still indicates more snow than the ECMWF, but am worried that the GFS is not doing a good job of accounting for the really dry air near the surface... TOP: Quote ...One more complicating factor is that recent runs are showing indications of a tight gradient along the northern edge of the snowfall, which makes sense with CAA and drier air possibly eating away at that north side... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More important than this off-hour Op run tho, is that the GEFS have kept you/GR in the area of good snows. GHD-2 was also south on the models at this range fwiw. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just like the GFS operational to push that ice further south at the beginning. Ice is just a pain in the a** for my animals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
