JMA, GEM Total Precip amounts


The top amount is the JMA total precipitation, bottom image is the GEM accumulation. To figure out how much snow (legend is for amount in water, like rain inches) comes out of the water, multiply the color number by 10. (example: Dark blue= .5 inches of rain equals 5 inches.)
SNOWMAP COMES OUT
Short Range Forecaster: "Confidence Increasing."
This is the Weather Centre's news reporter, here to show you what the Short Range Forecaster of The Weather Centre has come up with. "As the clipper comes through the area, confidence is increasing out of these totals, as the GFS shows steady snows in the respective outlined areas for their respective intensities." The forecaster also outlined some cities that may have disrutptions. "Chicago will likely have some issues, the Quad Cities, Indianapolis, Milwaukee will be affected as well." All in all, it looks like this system will hold light accumulations. "2 inches will be widespread, and at least a dusting around most of the Midwest as we go through the week."

New Potential Storm Track for LP2 (see Snow Centre)

STORM TRACK MAP COMES OUT
Short Range Forecaster still unsure
This is the Short Range Forecaster for The Weather Centre, here with the potential storm track for the low forecast to come through the South US. As the title indicates, I am still very unsure, justifying the large area of the storm track. A new SnowMap will come out tomorrow afternoon, as will a new Snow Bulletin.

Arctic Outbreak in Full Fury

Revised MW/GL/Plains SnowMap

MIDWEEK CLIPPER THREATENS MIDWEST
Indications of 2-4'' is Great Lakes areas
This is your Short Range Forecaster for the Weather Centre here to deliver the newly produced SnowMap. What these snows are a product of are actually a stalling clipper way up in Canada. But it will likely produced a prolonged impact upon some cities in the Great Lakes and Midwest. While this SnowMap highlights the main potential for hard hit areas, the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and a majority of the Midwest will likely receive at least a dusting. The next SnowMap will likely come out either tonight or tomorrow. For updates, the Snowfall Centre is always open, and the Snow Bulletin has just been updated. Stay tuned.
