Chicago Storm Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 LOT went with a wind advisory from about I-80 on south... IF THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH...IT APPEARS THE WINDS WILL BECOME A BIG CONCERN ON SUNDAY OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL. WITH A 45+ KT LOW LEVEL JET IN PLACE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MIXING INTO SOME OF THAT STRONGER MOMENTUM ALOFT...WE COULD SEE WIND GUSTS QUICKLY INCREASE UP TO 40 KT OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. STRONG SYNOPTIC SCALE PRESSURE RISES OF 4 TO 5 MB IN A 3 HOUR PERIOD ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD ACROSS THE THE SOUTHERN 2/3RDS OF MY AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS THE SURFACE COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT STRONG WESTERLY WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN FACT...I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A COUPLE GUSTS UP TO 45 OR POSSIBLY EVEN CLOSE TO 50 KT AS THE FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW AFTERNOON...THIS POTENTIAL IS THE HIGHEST ACROSS MY SOUTHERN COUNTIES. THEREFORE...I ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Make it 0.74" of rainfall. A nice soaker. Didn't expect that much here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Feels pretty springlike out there with dews up near 60 now. Leaves have really come down today with the gusty winds and rain. Already lots of bare trees around town. Seems a bit early but it makes sense with the ongoing drought combined with the early onset of springtime leaves.

cyclone77 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 18z 4km NAM ups the ante a little regarding winds tomorrow. Now shows a small zone of 30-32kt sustained winds tracking just behind the intensifying surface low. This would place the strongest surface winds along and immediately south of I-80 in Illinois, with it continuing through northern Indiana tomorrow evening. With very strong winds just off the surface, and precip in these areas I suppose it's possible that we could see 45-55mph wind gusts all along the path of this zone.

wisconsinwx Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 We have anywhere from 1-3 inches of rain still on the way after today's near washout. Most of the moderate to heavy rain occurred before 9, but there was still on and off light to low end moderate rain through most of the day.

IWXwx Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 A little OT, but I just read the long term discussion from IWX... MAIN FOCUS LIES WITH ENERGY CURRENTLY OVER ENTERING GULF OF ALASKA FROM TYPHOON PRAPIROON WHICH WILL DROP QUICKLY SE TOWARDS THE REGION BY LATE WEDS. Prapiroon?! I admit, I'm an IMBY weather follower, so I had no idea there was a typhoon with this name. I had to search for it, but Prapiroon is a Thai rain god. Maybe that cutoff late next week will produce with a prayer to the gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota Meso Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Warmer outside then in the house, or so it seems... I'm not positive about this, I haven't looked at current conditions, but I would expect DP's are somewhat elevated, causing that warmer feeling. Hear is the latest HRRR model for precip...giving the fact that it seems warmer outside for you, it wouldn't surprise me if the heavier rain shield would move about 75 miles north of what it is showing.

Geos Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Dewpoint is 63° here! Hasn't been that high since the first week of September! Finally some showers moving back in. Been misting for awhile now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Still at 0.55" for this event. Hasn't rained since early afternoon. Looks like rains are about to move in again though. Expect at least another inch or so before it's all said and done. Heaviest rain totals may fall a bit northwest of here in eastern Iowa. Deformation zone really takes shape there late tonight and early tomorrow and sort of stalls there, leaving us on the far east side of it. When it begins to creep/rotate eastward during the day tomorrow it should give us a good soaking too. Looks like Hawkeye should pick up a lot of rain with this setup over the next 16hrs.

mjwise Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Closest PWS to me had 0.98" for the day. Not bad at all given the QPF of 0.1-0.25". Tomorrow looks to be the closest we're going to get to Indian summer, which has been remarkably lacking since the switch seemed to just flip in mid-September.
