snowlover2 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 ILN suggesting there could be thunder with some of the squalls. Quote .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Areas of very light snow/flurries are beginning to fill-in across the region as the mid/upper level low pivots in from the NW and broad-scale forcing increases. As we progress into the afternoon, particularly mid afternoon and beyond, expect the activity to become more convective in nature, owing to tremendously deep mixing and a steepening of the LL lapse rates and development of some LL instby. The particulars of this setup are still on track as described below, and expect fairly widespread coverage as we progress toward 21z, especially in WC and central OH. High temps creep into the mid/upper 30s in-between the snow showers. However, brief augmentation to the LL thermal profile is expected as the snow showers move through any one particular area, so anticipate that air temps may oscillate one or several times throughout the daytime period. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... These snow showers are being driven by an upper/mid level low and compact vorticity maximum. The timing of this feature will be optimal for initiating and maintaining these showers into the early afternoon. Throughout the afternoon, steep low-level lapse rates will help to intensify these showers with the greatest period of intensity/concern between 3 and 8 pm. Forecast soundings are quite impressive during this time frame, with cloud tops between 9-11kft. These heights suggest the strongest showers would bring intense snowfall rates with rapid drops in visibility as they move through. A few rumbles of thunder will also be possible in the strongest showers. Some locations may miss out on this shower activity, but areas that see one or more showers, would observe quick accumulations of a half inch or more. With regards to specific impacts, the sudden drops in visibility for travelers on area roadways could result in brief periods of hazardous travel. With the March sun angle, road temperatures are likely to be in the upper 40s to lower 50s which is not optimal for accumulating snow on roadways, even if snowfall rates are indeed locally heavy. If intense snow showers can persist into the early evening hours, road temperatures could become more susceptible to favoring hazardous conditions. An SPS will be issued this morning to provide a heads up to those traveling today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
