SchaumburgStormer Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Up to 64/59. Gusted to 46 and haven't had the line through yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 0.21" of rain and counting. Still pouring pretty nicely out there with some good rumbles of thunder. Had to go out and unclog the rain gauge in the Davis, as it was full of tree bud debris. Lost quite a bit of water that was collected in the gauge in the process, so that was a bit frustrating.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I picked up 0.58" of rain/hail. I hope we can get several more storms like that this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 HRRR shows dews dropping to below zero this afternoon over southern Iowa/northern Missouri. Relative humidity <10% as well. That would be nearly a 60 degree spread between temp and dew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Probably going to need high wind warnings tomorrow, especially in Michigan which looks most favorable right now but can't rule it out elsewhere. Should have widespread wind advisories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Pretty cool to see this much surface based CAPE in a 46/34 environment. This is southern MN. Thanks steep lapse rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Just now, Hoosier said: SPC has a general thunder area outlooked. Yeah there will probably be hail too with anything that forms, with that much instability it wouldn't shock me to get severe hail if a shower gets tall enough.

Chinook Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 High wind watch for the northern tier of Ohio. I hope they take away some of my wind... Colorado doesn't need any extra. This 40 kt wind situation on Lake Erie could create a 3ft seiche on Lake Erie, towards Buffalo, if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly that plot doesn't tell you much unless you actually know the normal temperatures in the Gulf. Would be better to post an anomaly map showing the deviation from normal.

Jim Martin Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 IWX went ahead with High Wind Warnings for Defiance, Henry, Fulton, and Williams County in NW Ohio from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM tomorrow. Wind gusts to 60 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XfireLOW Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Will the Descent into Spring Continue, or Will Winter Return? The answer is winter has returned. Here it went from near 50 until about 8pm last night, now its in the teens with 30+ mph winds with on and off snow since this am. Visibility is down to zero for short periods of time with blizzard conditions even though there is barely any snow on the ground. County sheriff is advising no travel until morning. Its almost a shame because if there was a normal snowcover on the ground around here the winds and fresh snow would make for an incredible region wide blizzard. Now my NWS forecast is -14f friday morning. The roller coaster of temps this winter has been frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind gusts to 60 MPH. I'm pretty impressed by the setup for this. Lapse rates of 9.5 C°/KM with full sun in the midday and a pretty potent jetlet should allow quite a few 55+ MPH gusts, especially in that Defiance-Findlay-Lima area with all that open space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
