Thunder Road Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 We just launched a balloon. While it was still visible, it was deflecting to the west a bit as it rose. Coming in and looking at what the sonde was reporting, we had winds around 350 deg at ~900 mb, then around 5 deg at ~850 mb. I will try to share the sounding when it's complete.

Thunder Road Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 In other news, the HRRR stopped running. I guess someone at ESRL decided it was bogus and to not encourage the weenies too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the highest report I heard of closest to the lake in WI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Some light lake effect showers trying to brush the shore here, MKE reporting -SN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 3z HRRR came in. Decent shift east. Porter still gets ~0.1-0.25, but the max is back to LaPorte. (10-12" with its snow algorithm!) Really though this falls in line with what other meso models have been saying and what I think we're all observing.

I wish we could launch balloons at Ohio U! Down to 38 here on campus with steadier precip getting ready to push in...I think I'll be getting my snow soon enough.

Thunder Road Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 4z HRRR is in, and back to the solution from earlier this evening. 0.5"+ liquid for essentially all of Porter. 6-8" for much of the county, 8-10" right overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 LOT should put Porter County in a warning to cover that possibility of 6-10". Advisory could be warranted for Lake County as well. Flurry activity increasing a bit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they're watching it, and they'll pull the trigger if they feel they're confident enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Down to 34F here and quickly changing to snow with decent echoes moving in...looking good for an inch or so here at OU. We'll see if I'm up early enough to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Meh. Bust for most of Porter. Oh well, it's only November. Now to give the schools the all-clear, and finally go to bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Looks like some very light lake effect is making it to the northwest side of LAF. Persistent -SN here for the past couple of hours. Won't amount to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 It looks like IWX's WRF is kicking HRRR's butt regarding placement of the band. Here is what it depicted on Saturday evening: Current radar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremewx52 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just drove through lake effect band. Rocking 2"/hr plus rates in the core. Visibility was about 250 yards. 5 different cars off the road. Measured around 7 inches in Kingsford heights at 730 est. Probably another inch by now. Will have pics and video up later.

RogueWaves Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Here at work in St. Joseph literally across the street from the big lake. Visibilty @ not more than 1/8 mile, hvy snow/sleet mix continuing, latest official report an hour ago had us at 9" but could be in double digits already. My vantage point on the second floor is hard for estimating totals on the street level. Sorry, no camera options for me at work office, but it is a serious pounding for literally the 1st flakes event of the season right here along the shoreline. Could use one of these: Happy winter season all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremewx52 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Here is a picture in Kingsford Heights at 7:30 am EST where I took the 7 inch measurement earlier. Visibility 250-300 yds. Huge snowflakes. Here is a picture as I exited the eastern side of the band. Snow was still falling, but the sunrise could be seen underneath the cloud shield. This was taken about 7:35 am EST.
