jaster220 Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 DTX's morning AFD is a booklet. Takes 5 or 6 scroll-downs to read it all. Thus I've got a couple snip-its here: Would be nice if the higher end qpf targeted mby this time around. Quote The forecast appears to be in great shape based off the 12z NAM/13z RAP, as upper level wave and associated surface low tracks northeast out of the central/lower Mississippi River Valley and moves through the area this evening. Did not see any glaring issues with model initializations compared to 12z raobs. Mid level forcing/deformation to track through most of southeast Michigan 21-3z Friday. Excellent lift/Omega up around 15 -ubars indicated at the 600 MB layer, with 3 to 3.5 g/kg of specific humidity to work, with the M-59 corridor to I-94 corridor looking to be in the sweet spot. 12 hr QPF values from 18z Thursday-6z Friday forecasted to be half an inch to 0.8+ inches in the warned area. Point of potential concern is the upper level pattern as the longwave trough digging across the Front Range pivots east Thursday afternoon into the central Plains. High consensus across 00Z runs tonight showing the intensification of the northerly stream jet over the upper Great Lakes as well as a strengthening of the southern stream with a ~150kt jet streak developing across the mid- Mississippi valley. By 00Z Thursday evening, jets are positioned in such a way that southern half of SE MI (south of I-69) resides in the right entrance-left exit region for each streak. Feature is relatively short-lived as the streams merge by 03-06Z however this few hour window supports rates exceeding 1 inch per hour- more on precip type later. 6" would be biggest of the season for me. Hoping for the headlines to verify this time for me. It is interesting that I've now had more Watch/Warnings here than I got with GRR in like the last 7 winters, lol. I guess the same would've been true back in Marshall as that office has actually gone Watch->Warn for Calhoun Cnty. Should've been several more warning headlines over those 7 winters tho. 4 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...
