Thundersnow12 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'm already looking towards next weekend...0z GFS continues it's trend and what I thought it would do. The sourthern wave slows down even more in the srn plains as it crosses the rockies. The first nrn plains system rockets off to the northeast and weakens as we see new sfc low development in the srn plains as this wave ends up going neutral tilt (looking like the Euro run from the other day) sfc low passes over DVN/DBQ and then goes neg tilt further north with a WI/MN snowstorm.

Geos Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Temp is dropping quickly tonight, 29 right now. Looks like we will finally get our first hard freeze. Hit 28° here in the last hour. Bounced back up to 30°, but is falling back off again... --- 0z GFS showing 1" snowfall area making it into IL with slightly cooler surface temperatures.

Certainly an interesting one to watch unfold for the week. With the amount of energy forecast to crash ashore tomorrow-Wednesday I am not too surprised at what the GFS is depicting.

Hoosier Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Certainly an interesting one to watch unfold for the week. With the amount of energy forecast to crash ashore tomorrow-Wednesday I am not too surprised at what the GFS is depicting. 500 mb wind max of 120 kts on that run.

wisconsinwx Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 As it stands now we're only looking at one or two days above 55 in the next seven days. So much for this warm pattern that most have been advertising. Our average is in the low 50s, so looks like one day appreciably above average.

turtlehurricane Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 A light rain or mix looks to be falling in Milwaukee County right now. Nice lake effect mesolow, looks like it's being sucked inland, probably from solar heating which is creating relatively low pressure over land in the low levels. http://mapmaker.aos....g8msnflash.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I am seeing reports of snow on twitter but nothing but light rain on campus Local met Mark Baden was reporting "snain" (a mix of snowflakes and raindrops) in Mequon, so it is certainly mixy in many places.

cyclone77 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Looks like the new Euro tries to wrap up a pretty good secondary storm next Monday much like several of the GFS runs that Tsnow mentioned. Still a long ways out but at least it's finally something to watch (that isn't impacting the eastern US). Still in fantasy range, but this would be the first wide swath of significant accumulating snow for our region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track, locations, timing, etc of course varies...but yeah, something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Liking the potential for the 1st real LES event early mid next week. Still time for things to trend just a tad colder. I hope. Heading up to Kalkaska County Thur-Sun. Some models do show a WNW wind for late next week. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
