ICON remains north for wave 1, similar wave 2 from it's past couple runs.

We know models don’t handle well inside 24 hours. Off the ledge everyone!

What’s good shape?!?! We are at crunch time and I am trying to figure out if my wife should just plan to be stuck at work tomorrow or not.

The R-GEM goes tub thumping.
Wave #1:
6"+ right along 44 through the metro

I love it for our house yes but in general 70 is honed in pretty good

Where's BRTWXMAN at?
Anyone remember if the storm Nov 11/12ish this year had any last minute N/S adjustments which weren't modeled?

Bottom line. Let’s stay chill. Everyone along the Missouri River and one county south is sitting pretty right now. Time to eat yo steak, drink yo Jack, and face plant in some double chocolate!!!

Even nws discussion says warning and advisories will be issued tonight and they are moving toward the 70 scenario. And gfs is still 4 to 8 for.mo river north. Just slight adjustments

Stronger LLJ like the 00z NAM which you mentioned earlier? Either way it's time to start looking at the satellite imagery and radar soon IMO. As well, focus on the HRRR/RAP, etc. Though, still today models only do so much, we know that well. |

Not that it's a big deal, but the WRF model is much further SE away from the metro with wave 2.

It is amazing how much model inconsistency we still have this close to the event. As usual I feel I'm likely on the southern fringe of the meaningful accumulating snow.

Then there is this, from the 9:19PM update:
“These deterministic model runs have also shifted the axis of heaviest snow a bit further south centered along the I-70 corridor. Impressive isentropic lift and frontogenetic forcing is expected to support a rather wide snow band with rates at times from 0.5 to 1 inch per hour. If these solutions are in fact correct with the intensity and location then are current snowfall amounts during the afternoon would need to be doubled, and closer to 4-5 inches along this axis. I hesitate making alot of changes to the forecast at this time based on 2 deterministic models when a closer
evaluation of the full model suite and ensembles may not fully support this decided south shift.”

GEM had yielded to the model consensus and shifted a bit farther south and brings the heaviest snow through the heart of the metro.

Looking like there could be some mesoscale banding and/or some slantwise convective enhancement in the first wave on Sunday. SPC SREF ensemble charts are showing 70% probability of low MPV(EPV) numbers combined with strong frontogenesis in the key 700-600mb layer. Time/height diagrams are showing a period of vertically oriented theta-e contours and soundings show 100kts of nearly unidirectional shear above the low level boundary up to 200mb. All this is occurring in the right entrance region of a 160kt upper level jet streak across the Lakes region. So some of the indicators are there. You can sorta see this in the long range HRRR/HRRRv4 sim reflectivity as well. If this does occur it can be great (if it's snow) for those under one of these county-wide bands and suck for those that aren't.

The GEM has been king thus far this season...let's see if it can keep up its streak.

As for the second phase it seemed to me the 12z Euro was a bit too robust with the low level cyclone given the sorta strung out nature of the 500mb vorticity. I think the messier/weaker solution with the second phase like the GFS is showing seems more reasonable. Will be interesting to see what tonight's Euro does though...I guess I'll probably stay up for that  . |
