Update on the Current Storm

I am here to bring you up to date on our current storm.


PRECIPITATION

Here is the latest Quantitative Precipitation Forecast map, or QPF, from the HPC:

You'll notice that the totals are a little less than the predicted totals from this morning, but you have to consider the fact that some of the rain expected this morning fell during the day today.  We can see that the heaviest axis of precipitation is from Rockford all the way through Western Lower Michigan.

SNOWSTORM


Yep, I said it, this storm has potential to bring a snowstorm to Wisconsin.  I feel that I did a fairly good job in indicating where the heaviest snow/rain will fall in this map:

This is certainly going to be a fun storm for some folks.  I am not ruling out flakes for folks in Northern Illinois through Northern Indiana, it's just that we won't be seeing any significant accumulations from this, with only a few flurries at best.  I do foresee a small axis of 6+" snow in Northern Wisconsin.  Heck, the models are showing 10" of snow in here.  But I am not buying it.  The ground temperatures are too warm for something like this.

SUMMARY


This has potential to be a big storm, and one that could impact a lot of people, with results from 6" of snow to 3" of rain and thunderstorms.  So stay tuned.
