One - Two Sucker Punch for Next Week Feb 10-13, 2025

[Bgoney]

Just a reminder and we talked about this yesterday. Temps will be anywhere from 32-35 while it’s snowing and the amount of qpf bump we need to see to get the 3” amounts let alone 4” being talked about for cvgland

Great point Bgoney. No doubt a very wet snow and really you will see these big fat flakes and sometimes when they hit the pavement they are just like a water balloon and splatter. They tend to accumulate more on trees and the grass than pavement. Of course if you get a nice couple of hours with the higher rates they will finally accumulate especially if its not during the 10a-2pm peak sun. This is the kind of system where you may get say 0.25 of precip and even have a couple of inches on the ground but if the snow lets up it can dissipate quickly.

12Z HRRR has a couple of inches at CVG.

3.47" on the mean from the 9Z SREF. Wow....

Les about ready to post the latest. No doubt has been inching up since Sunday morning. I know a lot of the talk has been the heaviest snow along the I-64 area but I have it slightly north of that area and again I still like the Dry Ridge to Georgetown,Ky area with the best chance of getting the highest totals.

So far Tim, that looks like a nice call! I think a band of 3-5" will be likely across our far south / northern LOU's forecast area as well. If we can get an inch or two in our hoods, I would consider it a win.

12Z NAM continues to be juiced up giving CVG 0.33" of QPF.

NAM gives Cvg 3” by 1pm

[tron777]

12Z RGEM is coming inline with most models. Up to an inch NW of I-71, 2" along and slightly SE then 3-4"+ in our S counties.

[tron777]

12Z GFS ticked south again from the 6Z run. But in all fairness, this model has been one of the furthest south solutions all along.

Brian had a great video and explained everything we have been talking about all weekend. He mentioned now cast and no doubt with this kind of system as we wait later today and see exactly where everything is shaping up. Then we can sort of move the needle either way. He explained the longer term somewhat but sure he will get into that more on Wednesday. Sticking with the forecast from Bgoney yesterday and thought it really looked good if we need to adjust here and there we can. If you end up with one of the heavier bands for a few hours then you can get some of those higher totals but placement not perfect at this moment.

[Bgoney]

All the global models have come together to fit the forecast , just hope there’s no more trend south

Les, what's your opinion on Georgetown? About the same?

Should be similar, yeah.

[tron777]

I really haven't seen much change in todays guidance. The same models that are juiced up and north continue to be (NAM and SREF) with the furthest south model being the GFS, CMC and Euro are in between. A 1-3" call (lowest north of the river, highest as one goes south) is still a good call. South of the Metro are where the heaviest totals will be found in that 3"+ variety. I think ILN is handling this event correctly.

I have always found this humorous in Warning outlines. I know they go by county, but....if you connect the dots
I have resorted to begging ......

The southern part of Brown County should get more snow than the northern part of Adams County. Lol! Enjoy the snow! Warning, Advisory, or nothing issued you will see the same amount of snow regardless.

I had a 5 1/2" storm in Montgomery county a few years back and not even an advisory was issued. I enjoyed it all the same!

0.26" at CVG from the 18Z NAM. It is finally coming back to earth. 15Z SREF has a mean of 2.31" at CVG so it is also slowly coming back down to reality. 18Z RGEM still has a 1-3" snowfall from around Cincy and points S and SE. Lighter NW, heaviest SE. The cut off as we have been saying will be brutal. Some of you on this forum won't see a single flake out of this system.

For the next one, late Wed into early Thurs, still expecting mainly rain from it, could end as some flakes on Thurs. Not a big deal from a wintry perspective.

[tron777]

18Z GFS is up to 0.19" for QPF so it is finally joining the rest of the guidance. A blend of all models yields 0.20" at CVG for QPF. 2" of snow at a 10:1 ratio so a call of 1-2" is perfect.

Per SPC mesopage, the baroclinic boundary is lying over Middle TN at this time. Starting to see some -EPV and 700 MB frontogenic forcing over the Tri-state. Moisture return is also ongoing in the mid and upper levels from the Gulf of America. Some snow is filling in now (probably virga at the early stages) over Northern MO and Central ILL. Showers are increasing over AR, TN, OK, TX, and S MO. We should continue to see the radar blossom with precip tonight. Good sign seeing snow, even if it is virga right now, mainly N of St. Louis.
