NIUmetGF Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Right now it's still around 41N 165W at 995mb. Lows not going to start deepening till the upper trough begins to amplify. It is actually still under the convergent front right quad of the jet. big time impressive system out in the Pacific. 95kt winds at 850mb, wow.

turtlehurricane Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The vigorous cyclone moving across northern Wisconsin is making for quite the dreary day here. Gusting to 20-30 mph with full overcast and temps hovering near 60° F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Three GFS runs in a row (18z, 0z, and 6z) have shown an inch or more of QPF with the pesky upper level low this weekend through early next week. It would be a nice little bonus rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I guess I find it to be comedic relief more than anything, but the local TV wx guy here likes to forecasts the tropics on his blog. A couple of days ago he was calling for Ophelia to hit Florida based off the 372 hour map of the GFS. I mean that's a :weenie: faux pas on this forum. http://blogs.wlfi.com/2011/09/20/45893/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Of Reason Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The pattern for September is totally reversed from what we experienced during July and August here in St. Louis. September has been mostly cool here, with a lot more rain. The high for today occurred at midnight at 64. The temperature has hovered around 60 for the entire day with decent rains in much of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably know this already but the NOAA Satellite and Information Services have radar archives back to the mid-1990s. It won't show you rain vs. snow but it will show you precip in general.

TheWeatherPimp Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Just got back from Salt Lake City and the weather there this week was amazing. Sunny and 80 degrees nearly everyday. Obviously coming home to 54 and rain was not ideal haha. The inversion that takes place in SLC pretty regularly is quite impressive and it literally traps the smog/pollution down in the Salt Lake Valley often causing extremely reduced visibility in SLC, which did occur yesterday before we left. Also here is one of the photos I took of a sunset over the Great Salt Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also here is one of the photos I took of a sunset over the Great Salt Lake. It is awful. In winter it gets really bad. So bad the smelter plant and other pollutant aerosols seed the fog resulting in fog fallout/snow. When it isn't polluted though, the Wasatch and SLC are gorgeous.

Outside of the smog/pollution, which we only had to deal with yesterday (Thursday), Salt Lake City is an amazing and extremely cultured city. Definitely much more liberal than the surrounding areas. We went to Olympic Park Thursday afternoon before we left and there was a little bit of snow left in the highest elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it isn't a bad city at all. There were some things I didn't like after living there a bit, but that happes everywhere. Some of my favorite pics from when I was out there....plus a few high elevation snow pics for the snow/winter lovers. The powder in the Wasatch is famous for good reason. Very dry and powdery snow above 8000 feet....great skiing snow. This winter the Wasatch was crushed, doesn't surprise me there was still snow left. The Cottonwoods Canyons and the high Wasatch above 10k feet eat snow like nothing else. Some of those high peaks are perfectly shaped for catching snow. Near Solitude up B ig Cottonwood Canyon: What of those lovely inversions you were talking of. This was in Tooele Valley in between the Oquirrhs and Stansbury Mountains right adjacent to SLC Valley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Nice drenching this morning. Probably over 1 inch already with plenty to go. Kind of a weird setup with a semi def band that's slowly moving NE and not NW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Seriously considering heading down to the lakefront tomorrow morning for this.. from Gino.. WHILE OUR SKILL AT PREDICTING WATERSPOUTS IS NOT PARTICULARLY GREAT...SATURDAY MORNING'S SET-UP IS ABOUT AS GOOD OF A SET UP AS I CAN RECALL SEEING THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS FOR WATERSPOUTS TO OCCUR OFF THE ILLINOIS SHORE. STRONG LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY...DEEP CONVECTIVE CLOUDS...AN UPPER LOW NEARBY/OVERHEAD...AND LIKELY DEVELOPMENT OF LAND BREEZE CONVERGENCE ZONE JUST OFFSHORE. SATURDAY MORNING WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO POTENTIALLY SNAG A WATERSPOUT FOR THOSE WITH TIME LAPSE RECORDING CAPABILITIES FROM THE CHICAGO HIGH RISES THAT OVERLOOK THE LAKE!

hawkeye_wx Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The models continue to be quite unstable in the later periods. One run the GFS/Euro will show a nice warm ridge setting up over the area once the big cutoff low lifts out, then the next run another big trough plunges into the Great Lakes, then the next run it's back to warm ridge, then back to big trough again. Today's morning runs of both models are back to showing another big trough right on the heels of the cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
