Stebo Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Gusted to 53mph here at KDTW this afternoon. Pretty decent non-thunderstorm gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks like we've got a few light snow showers to look forward to. Maybe they can coat the ground, as the temp is 30 currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks like ORD missed their first 32º min temp by one. STL and EVV are the other two hold outs, of the first order sites in the Midwest. Should happen for EVV and ORD tomorrow morning, but STL will probably have to wait.

turtlehurricane Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Waking up to flurries flying through the air. Looks like the best area of precip will move in within the next hour or 2, could be some good snow showers in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Caplan had a pretty intense quick snow shower up in Waconda. More snow showers heading southeast from WI, LOT has me down for 80% of seeing snow today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I texted Gino and thanked him for the first somewhat tingly winter AFD lol alot of good nuggets in this one. AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL 820 AM CST THU NOV 10 2011 DISCUSSION 803 AM CST FIRED OFF A QUICK ZFP UPDATE TO HIT SNOW A BIT HARDER IN THE GRIDS TODAY. VIGOROUS VORT OVER WISCONSIN CONTINUES TO PIVOT SOUTHEASTWARD WITH REGIONAL WSR-88D MOSAIC ALREADY SHOWING SOME BANDS OF SCT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS WISCONSIN INTO EXTREME NE IL. RADAR REFLECTIVITY VALUES ARE OCCASIONALLY POKING OVER 30DBZ WITH SFC OBS OF VSBY FALLING BELOW 2SM IN -SN...SO HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH MORE OF AN UNQUALIFIED MENTION OF SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS TODAY. THIS MORNINGS SOUNDINGS OUT OF MPX AND DVN SHOW FAIRLY STEEP LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH COLUMN FAIRLY MOIST BELOW ABOUT 500 OR 600 MB. WOULD ANTICIPATE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF SNOW SHOWERS TO RAMP UP A BIT AS WE GET SOME HEATING THAT WILL FURTHER STEEPEN THE LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ALLOWING US TO GROW MORE CONVECTIVELY UNSTABLE. VERY SHALLOW ABOVE FREEZING LAYER NEAR THE SURFACE WITH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS NEAR OR BELOW 1500 FT AGL WOULD OFFER LITTLE OPPORTUNITY FOR RAIN TO MIX WITH SNOW...SO HAVE REMOVED THE MIXTURE WORDING FOR THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THE PRECIP ITS PLAUSIBLE THAT WOULD SEE SOME GRAUPLE MIX IN WITH THE SNOW SHOWERS. WITH SURFACE TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING NOT ANTICIPATING ANY ACTUAL ACCUMS...BUT SNOW COULD FALL RATHER HEAVILY AT TIMES IN BRIEF BURST TODAY...ESPECIALLY NORTHERN HALF TO TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA.

wisconsinwx Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Still light pixie dust, but it looks like some heavier returns are trying to make their way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL and EVV are the other two hold outs, of the first order sites in the Midwest. Should happen for EVV and ORD tomorrow morning, but STL will probably have to wait. Hard to believe it has taken this long! The record continues...but you're right, I'm sure it will be toast tomorrow 11/11/11. This will break the old record by 5 days. Even Tulsa and OKC have hit freezing already. Our patience will be rewarded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Still light pixie dust, but it looks like some heavier returns are trying to make their way in. Hopefully we'll get some better bands moving through here. It's beginning to come down a little harder outside as I type though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 We've had some bouts of wet and heavy dendritic snow, pretty much as good as yesterday. No accumulation so in a sense it's the best type of snow. I can drive my mustang around in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 We've been getting heavy bursts of snow throughout the day here in Muskegon along Lake Michigan. It has snowed hard enough to cover even the parking lots (which melts away). However, we have about a 1/2 inch to 1 inch of snow on the ground. (some of it survived the last peak of sunshine) Looking forward to more into tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Even with all the light to moderate snow showers moving through, none of it accumulated. Meanwhile, several miles away, accumulations of 1 to 2 inches have occurred in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
