Chicago WX Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Not sounding any alarms or anything, but ORD has yet to record a T of snowfall. The record latest occurrence for Chicago is December 5, 1999. And just for the heck of it, the latest measurable (0.1"+) record is December 16, 1965. Hopefully both of those records remain intact.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 So with the AO going that negative.. Canada blazes away/SE goes cold...sounds like last winter: Maybe those of usi n the norther tier will do better in January and February, when many mets are forecasting it to turn warmer overall in the east? Perhaps the storm track will lift north? If not, there will be a lot of "northern tears" this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromartie Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Cold looks imminent this week... At least one day won't break freezing, so palm boxes are going on today. Hopefully can have them off by first week of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Should be a fairly easy record breaker at LAF tomorrow, 66º in 1973. For comparison sake, the WL COOP, with records going back to 1901, has 72º in 1931. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdudemike Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Euro seems to be pushing cold out too fast next weekend...Seems like it would stick around a bit longer with the big blocking? 12z GFS looks good IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Of Reason Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 216-240 looks interesting on the Euro yet again. Yeah, definitely. It would give us a decent snowstorm. But it is a weird map nonetheless. The Greenland block has moved to Hudson Bay, and the lowest heights can be found, right over St. Louis on the 240h.

csnavywx Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah, definitely. It would give us a decent snowstorm. But it is a weird map nonetheless. The Greenland block has moved to Hudson Bay, and the lowest heights can be found, right over St. Louis on the 240h. I'm not doubting that the wave will exist. In fact, it's already present over far Eastern Siberia and will be getting at least some sampling pretty early on, making it less erratic than this system. But it's almost guaranteed that it will look nothing like it does now by the time it gets here. It'd be nice to wait until <5 days before we do another storm thread. Part of the reason the Euro looks so wierd is because it has some of the energy from the T-day storm getting recirculated under the block and then phased with the storm in question.

Powerball Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 GFS has been picking up on this same storm for the past few runs (check its maps between 216hr and 240hr). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Made it to 58 so far here today. Been pretty breezy all day. Our record high tomorrow is 69. Don't think we'll quite make it but we'll at least make a run at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 59/51 here at last check. Spring has sprung. This would suggest that although there are some warm days coming up, it's going to be tough to get a warm pattern overall in our neck of the woods I think what might happen is that we get a brief cold shot late week, then moderate a bit before it may turn colder again. I'm guessing that the Nov 25-Dec 10 period will come out at least somewhat below average in temps, but I could be wrong. Let's hope we get some snow with it.

beavis1729 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Tomorrow morning's low temp at ORD will probably be around 55F, about 28 degrees above normal. Also, Fairbanks, AK has a winter storm watch for freezing rain tomorrow, with nighttime low temps around 32F. That is about 42 degrees above normal. My point: it's a strange pattern, as it's rather unusual to have such + departures at both ORD and Fairbanks at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Took advantage of the unusual late warmth and went out and mowed/mulched leaves one last time. Now that the yard is in tip top shape I'm really ready for snow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Temp is up to 58F, which is the high for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Temp rising here tonight, now up to 61º at 8PM. Also see that the old LAF sensor hasn't lost its high dewpoint bias...sitting at 56º. Of course its brother, Grissom AFB, is up to a 60º dewpoint at 8PM.

cyclone77 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Temp is up to 58F, which is the high for the day. Gonna be a warm and windy night over there in Chi-town. Looks like we'll cool down later tonight as the cold front passes, but will lift back northwestward tomorrow morning. Should see the radars start lighting up with elevated showers and maybe some isolated thunder over the next 3-4hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Amazingly, Detroit is sitting at a warm air advected 60*F at 10 PM, which is also the high for today. Even in DTX's latest update they didn't expect areas to be sitting in the 60s this time of night in November. This is all despite temperatures ealrier today starting in the upper 30s/lower 40s and a solid stratocumulus deck for most of the day. I wonder will record high lows be set tonight...

cyclone77 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Cold front just passed here. Temp has dropped from 57 to 53 already. Some pretty nice elevated cells out by Iowa City. 1/4" hail reported already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
