baroclinic_instability Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Pretty incredible satellite today. A ton of upslope flow all through the High Plains into the Front Range. The terrain features such as the Palmer Divide clearly stick out. Haven't seen this since early spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I got that one saved mine is from 12/1/06, another big time snowstorm. Man I hated that storm. For those that want to reminisce... Discussion thread: http://www.easternuswx.com/bb/index.php?/topic/114411-central-united-states-major-winter-storm/ Obs thread: http://www.easternuswx.com/bb/index.php?/topic/114909-the-official-plainsmidwest-observation-thread/ My favorite quote in the discussion thread: I think the snow threat should trend east with time. And when cromartie liked snow (wx was one of his earlier screen names): I hope SE WI takes the cake home. One of BowMe's early good calls. Well for the most part... I think 3-6+ in a narrow band sounds about right at this time. I doubt Indiana see's much snow at all. flint/tri cities, down to Detroit see's little to no snow. Extreme SW MI see's very little snow. Grand Rapids looks to be in the Bullseye at the moment, extend that line down through Milwaukee, north west Illinois, and SE ares of Iowa. Now if it shifts east---Puke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnchaser Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Almost another inch here (0.93" IMBY) overnight. The yearlong deluge continues. With CLE now at 4.06" for the month, this will likely be another top 10 wettest month (alongside April, May, July, August) The yearly total of 45.73" is 18.33" above normal. This is already the 8th wettest year on record. We only need 8.10" to fall over the next 3.5 months to break the record for the wettest year on record. A typical year would see 11.69" fall between now and the end of the year, so even if we slip into an extended dry pattern, the record looks like a safe bet. This longevity of this wet spell has been mighty impressive. Just imagine if this had occurred during the winter months with each month being a top ten snowiest with 2 of them being the snowiest. This is easily the equivalent of a 140" snowfall season for Cleveland. Now is the time to start watching lake temps as we get into fall. Right now they appear to be running 1-2 degrees colder than normal, despite a warmer than average summer. I think the heavy wind action has allowed for some mixing of the surface temps. Send some rain this way!! We started the year on track to break precip records..but wow things have certainly changed and we are now in D2 drought category. Since July 1st I have seen just under 2 inches of rain and mostly all that came on one day in July when Mankato got its only thunderstorm of the year! Hoping for a pattern change before Winter! Looks like our first chance of rain since August 23rdon Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 lol was gonna reply with that exact sentence. Ya it sucked here for awhile, the fcst +SN band was right over me but a warm layer kept us at sleet till after midnight before switching to snow. We still managed like 8" or something with La Salle/Peru/Paw Paw picking up 12-16". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hanging in the upper 30s/lower 40s around town, definitely chilly. Another 2 days of fairly cool weather on tap before we start getting 70s again Also starting to see some very thin cirrus, weak but broad rain shield moving in from the west. Tomorrow might be one of the chilliest of this cold snap since it'll be so cloudy, not to mention the chance for some rain showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Only got to 46. We were never really able to maximize the radiational cooling as there were some clouds and winds stayed up a bit all night. A few upper 30's north and east though.

michsnowfreak Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 DTW got down to 43F yesterday (missed rec by 2F) and 43F today as well (missed rec by 5F). Too cloudy was the issue of not getting colder (lots of 30s in northern burbs). Nevertheless the Fall air feels WONDERFUL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
