Geos Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Those are great pictures DLL! I especially like the first one with the limestone rock outcrop. Map summing up the WI part of this rain event. Thanks to some micro cells towards the end of the day - ended off with 1.31". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman1952 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Rain is winding down her in Saginaw, MI I have 1.55" of rain the last 2 days. Shouldn't get too much more. Mike p.s. I like the above picture too with the rock outcroping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Took a hike this afternoon... Plenty of color left, but probably not for much longer,,, Foliage report has you past peak.. doesn't look like it.. colors really muted too. drought/tree type combo? still my fav area of the state if you don't include inland lakes and weather.

cyclone77 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Sweet pics DLL. Rain today ended up totaling 1.07" That combined with yesterday's 0.55" brings the storm total up to 1.62". Not too bad, although significantly less than many of the models had consistently forecast for this area. Still a loooooong way to go to really make a dent in this significant drought, but it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Noticed something interesting in the zone forecasts. This is for the county northwest of here. Hail in the forecast 4 days out. FRIDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY. CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE MORNING THEN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE SMALL HAIL IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS IN THE MID 50S. CHANCE OF RAIN 40 PERCENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Gino Izzi always makes it exciting BY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MODELS ALL HAVE VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC BARRELING ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND SPINNING UP ONE HECK OF A CYCLONE. ALL THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT ON DEVELOPING AN ANOMALOUSLY DEEP CLOSED LOW WITH H5 HEIGHTS 3 TO NEARLY 5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW AVERAGE...WHICH WOULD BASICALLY EQUATE TO 500MB HEIGHTS ABOUT AS LOW AS THEY EVER GET IN THIS AREA THIS TIME OF YEAR. THERE ARE SOME MODEST TIMING AND TRACK DIFFERENCES THAT WILL NEED TO BE IRONED OUT ONCE THE SYSTEM MOVES ONSHORE TOMORROW AND GETS BETTER SAMPLED BY THE UPPER AIR NETWORK...BUT GENERAL IDEA LOOKS TO BE ONE OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACCOMPANYING A POWERFUL COLD FRONT THAT MOVES THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OR MORE LIKELY WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE CUT OFF LOW SHOULD TAKE OF RESIDENCE OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES FOR A COUPLE DAYS BRINGING BOUTS OF COLD SHOWERS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. IF THE ECMWF/UKMET SOLUTIONS PAN OUT WITH A MORE SOUTHERLY CLOSING OFF OF THE MID LEVEL LOW...THEN 500MB TEMPS DROPPING TO -30C THURSDAY AFTERNOON COULD SET THE STAGE FOR SOME EMBEDDED LOW TOPPED THUNDERSTORMS...GRAUPEL...AND MAYBE EVEN SOME COLD AIR FUNNELS AS REMARKABLY COLD AIR ALOFT MOVES IN.

Cold air funnels and graupel together. Never heard those two words in the same sentence! Would be even more interesting to see snowflakes and funnels! Clouds are finally clearing out. Chilly though in the low 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Barely hit 50F today thanks to persistent morning overcast. Now it's mostly sunny and the colors are still vibrant on some trees, with others completely bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Completely opposite kind of day today compared to yesterday. Very nice. Lots of sun and temps in the low 60s. Barely any wind as well. It can get as windy as it wants to now as far as I'm concerned. Had the tree guys out today to take care of the huge section of the front tree that had cracked and was hanging over the house. Big load off my mind I tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 First snow/wintry precipitation of the season Friday? http://wxweb.meteostar.com/sample/sample.shtml?text=KMSN I could see the boundary layer being too warm especially this time of year, but if any organized bands of precipitation developed it's possible with 850s solidly at -1 °C.

daddylonglegs Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Took a loooong bike ride tonite...it was 60F and perfect today, but now my legs are like jello... This is looking east on the marsh trail...those bluffs are my destination Getting a little closer... chilly in the shade, but i'm starting to work up a sweat... Stopped to take a breather on the bike/hiking trail that leads to the top of the bluff...the steep stuff is behind me at this point Up on the top now (some nice homes up here with a nice view) Road goes right by NWS in La Crosse (I'm biking no handed, snapping pics) Mooooo... we are in Wisconsin On Bliss Rd now heading west(Grandads bluff is off to the left)...this road goes straight down from here (lots of turns)...Almost topped 50mph on the last stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Ddl, From your pictures, La Crosse looks like a beautiful area. I love all the bluffs and rolling hills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 DLL - You have some very nice vistas in that area of the state! I love the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. I bet you got quite a workout biking up those bluffs! Temperatures slides more then forecast tonight. Currently 38° with a little bit of ground fog developing.

magoos0728 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 DLL--brings back memories of school in LAX. Some are a bit more hazy than others....but to anyone who hasn't made a trip to the Coulee region during the fall, I highly recommend it. Actually--during any time of year, the La Crosse area is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Looks like there could be some severe threat into southeastern MO/southern IL tomorrow. Threat should drop off north/east due to less instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Pretty breezy out right now. On my drive from Moline to Dekalb I am pretty sure I had the wheel turned the entire time to stay on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
