SpartyOn Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 As we near closer to the fall I just had to revisit this beast. One of the sickest Extratropical Cyclones that Im sure many of us have EVER seen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I saved some model images from that day. Here is one from the RUC. It overshot the minimum pressure a little but was consistently deeper than other guidance and had the right idea. I guess it got tired of plotting the isobars near the surface low...

Hoosier Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 There was also a high risk from SPC which included the rather rare 60% hatched wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I believe several of the outlooks on Oct. 26th mentioned storms moving at an average of 60 kts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person set a contour minimum of 970... from personal experience I can say that you should NEVER manually set a minimum or maximum unless there is a very pressing reason to do so (such as multicolored maps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Anyone save a screen shot of the current watches and warnings from this event. I remember a line from Duluth to maybe Texas lit up like a Christmas tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 MI's only high risk ever, I believe. Didn't end up being much severe weather in MI...although I remember we got out of school for it after the front had already passed through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 MI's only high risk ever, I believe. Didn't end up being much severe weather in MI...although I remember we got out of school for it after the front had already passed through 2nd, October 24th 2001, interestingly enough both in October, plus the 2007 outbreak that should have been a High Risk that day IMO.

I think MI had one on 6/2/90 and in 1992 as well. Maybe some others.

Siberian Express Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I remember that well...my barometer bottomed out at 964.44. The cloud movement was amazing, and the wind of course. Now, I wish I would have took some vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rent Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I didn't know at the time how notorious this event would be, wasn't real deep into the forums then. Interestingly enough, I was at a working house fire when the line came through. We lucked out, damage was a couple miles north and a couple miles south of us.

MichiganLion Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 MI's only high risk ever, I believe. This is a nit-pick ... but nearly the entire Western third of the UP (as far north as the Keewenaw!) was in a high risk area back on Thursday June 7, 2007. (largest tornado that day was an F3 in the area northwest of Green Bay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I have a bunch of images saved in my weather diary. I will never forget that storm. That was incredible. I was wondering what the chances are of a similar system this fall. I saved some weatherbug data from that system as well. Our highest gust was 60mph @ 12:20pm on 10/26.
