Winter 2019-20 Medium/Long Range Discussion
Chicago Storm replied to Hoosier's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
There's actually decent agreement among most guidance for an event in the area for late week. -
Peak wind gusts of 47mph at ORD and 51mph at MDW today.
-
Finally ended up with one good squall later this afternoon. It featured a brief but solid period of SN, and wind gusts up to 40-50mph.
-
Yea, the most active corridor has run from DVN to Watseka, with the metro having missed out on the goods so far. Squall currently moving from Lee to LaSalle Co's has had a lot of lightning...even a hail marker with it.
-
Several 1-2" snow reports from some of the heavier squalls in SD/MN/WI.
-
Soundings for today across the area are rockin'... Upwards of 400 cape, low level lapse rates up around 10C, freezing level around 900mb, deep mixing to ~600mb, -6C at 850mb... Gonna be convective precip o' plenty, with +SN/graupel...and probably some +TSSN. Add in the 35-50mph wind gusts, and likely higher in the convective precip. There's even some inverted V soundings showing up.
-
STL hit 90 today, which was also a record. Not the earliest 90+ on record though, as 90+ previously occurred on 4/1 in a previous year.
-
Steep low level lapse rates, up to 200 cape, low freezing levels...has all the makings of convective showers, with +SN and/or graupel.
-
Hit 80 at ORD and MDW today.
-
Make that more 77-83 area wide now. .
-
No doubt... Wednesday too. Even today there were a significant amount of people out and about.
-
11,256 cases and 274 deaths as of yesterday. Slightly bigger increase to 12,262 cases and 307 deaths in IL today.
-
Enjoy. .
-
Looks like an elevated hailer threat this evening/tonight, and then a more interesting threat tomorrow afternoon/evening.
-
Looks like 75-80 area wide tomorrow.
-
NAM's have been overzealous with cloud cover, and in turn have underdone temps on almost every warm day thus far this season. So easy toss material there.
-
10,357 cases and 243 deaths as of today in IL. .
-
They're performing how they have since November.
-
ORD hit 70 today...first 70+ day on the year.
-
8,904 cases and 210 deaths total now in IL. .
-
Preparing for the next severe event?
-
7,695 cases and 157 deaths in IL now. Seem to be going back and forth between bigger and smaller jumps in case and death counts every other day.
-
I actually started working on some this evening with several states. If I don't post it tonight, I'll have it tomorrow.
-
Deaths per 10k population (or something similar) would be better, but I’m too lazy to do all of that...thus the easy total count. The total count is still important too though. .
