We'll see what the rest of the data shows today, but as of now, I'm pretty excited about what I am seeing. Trev... where are you? You've been all over these higher amounts and I am seeing a lot of data now to support it.

This system is overperforming down in NW AR. Seeing 2-3" reports already coming out of Fayetteville!

I have come to accept the cold rain as a beloved part of my life.tron777 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:28 amI agree with this. I think an advisory will cover it. Speaking of temps... I am glad that you brought that up, Cincinnati. I had 19 this morning and CVG had 22. We are only at 27 as of 10am at CVG and with increasing clouds... we will probably not even make it to 40 today so that may help us out a bit in terms of ground temps.
I am on my lunch hour so I was able to look at Accuwx Pro for the 12Z NAM run. 0.54" of QPF at CVG so we did get NAM'ed as I thought.
HAO - 0.44"
MGY - 0.33"
DAY - 0.22"
CMH - 0.23"
FGX for Matt - A whopping 0.75" but a lot of that is going to be rain unfortunately. This is using the NAM. You are in a good spot on some of the other models though.

QPF on the 12Z GFS ranges from about 0.15" S of I-70 to 1/2" in our SE. Eyeballing 0.25 to 0.30" for CVG.

Glad the sun is out today even though it won't last long. They are out brining the roadways up here as I'm sure they are everywhere.

12Z GFS text data is finally in.
CVG - 0.23"
HAO - 0.18"
MGY - 0.16"
DAY - 0.11"
CMH - 0.12"
FGX - 0.49" - Looks like some rain, sleet, and snow.
There is additional light precip for everyone on Sunday too from the next piece of energy swinging thru behind the EC storm don't forget. I am mainly focusing on Sat morning since that is the best window for accumulating snowfall.

Re: 1st Winter Storm Threat of the Season: January 5-7, 2024
Update from the boys....
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Morning update...
Previous forecast over the near term remains on track. 12Z ILN
RAOB once again observed a very dry lower troposphere with
copious amounts of dry air below 500mb. High level clouds have
stretched over the area with better saturation observed above
500 mb.
Snow forecast updates will arrive later today...
Recent trends in the guidance are pointing toward higher QPF
over locations along and southeast of the I-71 corridor.
Potential is certainly increasing for a focused area of
accumulating snow 1-2" (locally higher amounts) across southern
Ohio and northern Kentucky Saturday morning. Precipitation type
and surface temperatures with heavier precipitation rates tend
to remain as snow with lower surface temperatures, especially
with the onset of precipitation occurring before sunrise. Wet,
sticky dendrites would be capable of accumulating quickly, as
long as precipitation rates remain moderate. An advisory is
being considered for portions of northern Kentucky and southern
Ohio, with accumulating snow potentially leading to travel
impacts Saturday morning.

Re: 1st Winter Storm Threat of the Season: January 5-7, 2024
The GFS is showing rain in NW Arkansas. Less than an inch of snow. This model is off from the beginning. The short range models are definitely the way to go in my opinion.

I agree Doug. I am going with 2-4" now instead of 1-2" that I mentioned yesterday, For I-70 folks... I think 1-2" looks good.

Advisories will be out with the afternoon package. Some areas will hit warning criteria.

I think an advisory is good personally.
Re: 1st Winter Storm Threat of the Season: January 5-7, 2024
Right that is what they will go with as that should cover it for most in the heavier band. What I meant is that I expect some areas to receive warning-criteria amounts. It'll be isolated, but I expect some 5" reports.

Re: 1st Winter Storm Threat of the Season: January 5-7, 2024
I think it's Monroe Co, right Charles??? The more inland you are and NW of I-95, the better. I think it's mainly a rain event for the I-95 corridor. NWS Mt Holly has 6-10" for Monroe Co per their latest AFD.Trevor wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 11:30 amI meant to answer that yesterday Charles but I forget where exactly you are in PA!airwolf76 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 11:29 amjust curious what are you thinking for my area?tron777 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 11:25 amI agree Doug.

Re: 1st Winter Storm Threat of the Season: January 5-7, 2024
SPC's severe wx outlook just updated and there is now a marginal risk of severe wx right along the Gulf Coast. This tells me that this system is going to have a kick.

Indeed! Good obs sir.

Re: 1st Winter Storm Threat of the Season: January 5-7, 2024
Good Afternoon and I see Les and Trevor are saying go big or go home lol. Locally I am still going 1-2 with 1.8 at CVG so I am on the higher end. I can see where we get the higher totals but have not convinced myself that is the way to go. Biggest issues is dry air at the start of the storm and do we have a 3hour period or 6hour period of snow that comes down hard enough to accumulate. Temp though looks decent around the 30-33 mark locally and that is a plus.
I do believe an advisory will be issued and my guess is they will go 1-3. Trev this has been your storm so time to bring to the finish line lol.
