Let me start by saying the Gem has had the northern wave, north of MSP for the last 2 days or so, but the difference is that it phases with the southern energy just in time, maybe bringing 5-8" close to the metro. The 12z GFS was showing about 3" for the metro, the 18z run now has 5-8" as the system phases, bring more precip into the southern part of the storm. The 17/0z runs will be fun to watch.randyinchamplinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-50846590234318914202013-03-16T16:46:06.829-05:002013-03-16T16:46:06.829-05:00@Randyinchamplin so what's your forecast?,now ...@Randyinchamplin so what's your forecast?,now that were nearing 24hrs out,going to follow your GEM(which goes south of MSP still)or fall inline with the models heading north of us?Sam G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-34899254832192384122013-03-16T16:05:01.701-05:002013-03-16T16:05:01.701-05:00Maybe it won't be a white 40th for me on April...Maybe it won't be a white 40th for me on April 10th after all...ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07525132060449687950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-25634506003360669802013-03-16T14:52:28.095-05:002013-03-16T14:52:28.095-05:00Looks like Monday's "storm" for the ...Looks like Monday's "storm" for the Metro is over before it even got started.
