Hoosier Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 I would be surprised if gusts aren't solidly into advisory criteria in northeast IL/northwest IN tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 dry SE flow doing impressive work, might end up with just a tenth or two...impressive0.47" at MDW and 0.72" at ORD thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 0.47" at MDW and 0.72" at ORD thus far. Lol, I'm sure Alek has had 3 drops at his house per the bank rain gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 To illustrate what I'm talking about as far as wind tomorrow, here are the NAM and GFS skew-t's for ORD valid 18z. Even with S/SSW low level flow, CAA is occurring at this time with steepening low level lapse rates and potential mixing to at least 850 mb if not 800 mb, where there is still 50-55 kt flow.

Chitown Storm Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 1.5" in the gauge so far from yesterday and today, with more coming tonight. 3.5" total since the storm last week on Veterans Day. Nice soakers before winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if we'll issue an advisory with evening update, and GFS may be slightly overdone, but frequent gusts up to 40 mph and occasional gusts to ~45 mph appear probable.

Yeah, lots of standing water in the ditches out here with another nice slug of moisture about to move through. Not sure about an additional 1.6", but another inch wouldn't surprise me.

hawkeye_wx Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I've only managed 0.95" total over the last two days, and many locations got less. Waterloo has only managed 0.37". After a couple heavy downpours first thing this morning, the rest of the day was nothing but very light rain. A couple more lines of showers through tomorrow may get us over an inch for the 3-day event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Had a 2 inch branch come down in the last hour....I'm pretty sure it was prolly weakened by the last few wind storms...regardless some good gusts Edit: 2 inch diameter....not length lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
