You'll be warmer than I will most likely. Probably hit 65° around Grand Rapids I'm thinking.

 

Would be nice to get to 60° here at least tomorrow. Not counting on it though. Convection tonight could hang up the warm front further south.

 

If we got sun it would warm up.  The problem is I don't think the stratus deck from the rain today will mix out.  850 temps are warmer tomorrow but it doesn't matter if nothing can mix down because there's a stubborn cloud layer.

Nice storm here tonight...pea sized hail...frequent, close lightning and very heavy rain. Went on a quick chase...man am I ready for severe wx season.

 

Lucky you.  Last good one I had was January 29.  It seemed to skip over Michigan today.  Hopefully I get an MCS rolling in tomorrow night.  I don't know why GRR doesn't even put thunder in the grid though.  I'm not expecting severe anything but I'd like to hear some thunder at least.

Saw some black, very old snow piles still hanging on at the mall today. Its ironic how something SO beautiful when it first falls looks like, well....

 

That's how glacial ice ends up looking in the mountains in the ablation zone. Filled with grit, rocks, and other debris.

 Yummy. :icecream:  What Ben&Jerry's flavor is that?  Looks like what comes from the smokestacks along the detroit river.

haha cookies and cream, extra cookies. Just the unavoidable grime of months-old snow. not really many smokestacks along the river anymore. Kinda crazy to say, but pollution is so much less of a problem (at least in this area by the river) than it was 40-100 years ago.

At 0z Wed:

 

NAM says we're socked in, says the SLP only gets down to 1005 mb:

RGEM shows much more clearing in southern OH, IN, and it's also 3 mb deeper with the SLP:

(Even though the "L" marker is in NE AR on the RGEM, I think it's reasonable to assume the actual SLP is closer to north end of the region closed off by the 1004 mb contour.)

 

The difference between the two being that on the RGEM, southern IN/IL could get into some more discrete action (although actual directional shear present is yet another question...but given a deeper SLP, one would think surface winds would back just slightly more, but I digress...) while on the NAM it's just a heavy rain event north of the Ohio River.
