Geos Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Glad this isn't a winter fail. o well the north and their record low rivers need the rain just as bad so cool its more a share the wealth weekend.. They can piss off come winter though. Lol. Doh! Got dry slotted! Think I've picked up 0.60" in total. 1.56" by you at Mitchell. Just wet ground and cloudy right now.

hawkeye_wx Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 We were pretty calm all morning because the low tracked near us, but it just got real nasty fast. It's pouring down rain and the wind is gusting to 30 mph. I forgot to close my north window and my bed got soaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trapperman Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It was like walking on breakfast cereal here two days ago. Thout for sure we were going to get a minimum of half an inch, MPX said 1 inch. It has not rained a single drop. Not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 0.79" total since midnight brings us up to 1.34" storm total. More convective showers have pushed off to the east, so whatever we get from here on out will come from the incoming deformation band. Winds have gone fairly calm here, as the surface low is very close by. Should get some 40mph gusts later this afternoon after the low passes by.

Might want to tell the weather office there map is off then! Yeah I cancelled outdoor activities as well. Could have done some things outside between widely scattered showers -even if it is damp out. Just had a windy rain squall go through - providing a little action this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Bowme, adding in what they received in the first six hours to yesterday's total, Milwaukee did get just over an inch, the northern suburbs probably more like 1.5 inches. Could have been worse, but I understand your lament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 0.77" here so far. Getting really dark in the south as a convective looking band approaches. Warmest part of the weekend is probably right now, 65°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Pop-up showers moving through here at the moment. Peak wind gust of 34mph at LAF thus far. Gonna be interested to see what LAF peaks at. I know I've mentioned it before, and it could be my imagination, but it seems like LAF is a low spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Had a nice Tues-Fri up north, though for the most part it felt like mid-late November, not early-mid October! Took TONS of pics and also got to see the first snowflakes since April! Didnt see really any sun Tue-Thu, but the colors were so spectacular it didnt matter. Rain showers hit most of northern MI off and on but on Wednesday when I went hiking to Tahquamenon Falls, the rain showers turned to sleet/snow at the Falls! Had downright moderate wet snow at times, even leaving a slush of 0.1-0.3" on parts of the grass/leaves (snow, sleet, grauple). Will post pics in the coming days. I noticed that color was at peak in most of northern MI though pretty much getting past peak in the higher elevations, yet on Mackinac Island color was maybe 30-40% (and on either peninsula once you got away from the water color was at or slightly past peak). BTW, had 0.10" of rain imby when I was up north, and then 0.64" last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Could be. 38mph gust last hour. Muncie and Terre Haute have been above 40. Temp up to 71 at LAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Though there are differences in timing/placement of the next system, looks like it could be a big windmaker for someone. Both the 00z Euro/GFS have 850 mb winds of 60-70 kts on the backside of the low, which could be a problem if it's tapped into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Storm total of 2.33" here. Still a big rain deficit, but this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 2.5" so far in Madison at the airport, rain is nowhere near over. Cold front came through and dropped the temp from 63 to 50. Low has intensified to 996 mb and is between Davenport and Rockford though quickly sliding NE following jet forcing. Low level frontogenesis is increasing significantly over southern Wisconsin which should help increase rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
