cyclone77 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 40 degrees with rain falling. DVN 88D shows the melting layer is only about 500ft up. 0.16" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Low pressure is down to 980mb at Sault Ste Marie. That's quite low for any time of year. Northwest Ohio got around 0.5". A couple of days ago, I was sure this storm would provide 1.25" or more for this area, but the rain concentrated more on Michigan. There were some flood watches in Michigan yesterday. I had mentioned that the WPC graphics said over 2.5" for Detroit, but obviously these sorts of rain amounts were farther west and north in Michigan.

josh_4184 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Picked up close to 5.5" of rain so far and still raining, luckily we have a lot of sandy soil so no flooding around my area at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Rain started mixing with snow about 30 min ago. Temp down to 35. Hrrr has been very persistent showing several inches of snow along the ridge here. 51 mph gust atop my north facing hill earlier this morning. 2.10" so far.

Hoosier Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 This year has already entered the top 30 wettest at ORD with just over 2 months to go. The record of 50.86" in 2008 will be tough to get to, but a top 10 wettest finish is certainly within reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird to see it shift that drastically that fast. Of course this is little more than entertainment value at this point as the end of month runs are the ones to pay more attention to, as has often been mentioned. And back to the blue we go. It'll be interesting to see where things trend as we get closer to the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Have been in the 40s all day with wind chills in the 30s at times. 48 was the high at midnight. First legit cold day this season. The recent warm weather is a distant memory now. Looks like a good chance for some flurries on Sat as a storm wraps up over the northern US.

Hoosier Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 ORD has put up a -2 for the day so far (likely to go lower), ending the warmer than average streak at 41 days. Also now officially the 2nd wettest October on record for Chicago. The #1 spot is safe though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest euro showing another 5 inches of rain for this area which would help break some monthly records including the October record ( 9.99 ) and monthly record ( 12" Sept 2008 ) for any month! KBTL currently sitting at 8.24" for the month! Incredibly September was the driest September ever with just 0.41! The old record was 0.56 back in 1956! Broke the October record, at 10.36" for the month Other October numbers: Traverse City: 5.91" Jackson: 6.31" Houghton Lake 6.57" Lansing: 8.20" Muskegon: 8.31" Grand Rapids: 9.10" Holland: 9.37" K-zoo: 11.73" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm total is up to 2.53" as of 7:55pm obs and monthly up to 10.78"! Need another 1.22" for the all time monthly record for any month! Current holder is September 2008 with a foot of rain. Interestingly August 2008 was one of the driest as well ( 2nd driest i do believe ) much like this past September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 About 10 inches of rain for my location so far this October...with days of showers/lake effect through to Halloween! West Michiganders have quickly gone from "everything is dying...we SO need rain" to "Pllllleeease stop raining already!" It has been raining for 60 consecutive hours! Nice video, Bo. Most people do not realize the fury of our Great Lakes. I have witnessed winds and waves on our Lake Michigan that easily compare to those found in tropical storms/hurricanes. I look forward to seeing some snow pics from you this week! For those looking for great fall foliage...I was visiting family in Tennessee this past weekend, and on the way home, the best colors were in Kentucky between Bowling Green and Louisville.

About 30 miles north of Munising in Lake Superior, radar estimated 7 to 10 inches of rain. It was absolutely coming down like crazy around 9 am. Lake enhanced rain.

I'd really like to move near Lake Michigan in the next 15 years. It's a beautiful place to live. Each season is so unique here. Spring arrives here very late though because of the lake keeping it much cooler into May. (That's ok for me though, as Spring is my least favorite season.) Summers are beautifully sunny, but can be veeery dry because of the lake influence on stabilizing the atmosphere (less thunderstorms). Every summer though, we get a couple of derechos that slam the lakeshore and usually some locale has great damage because of 80 to 100 mph winds. Fall is beautiful here because of the variety of trees, and the lake prolongs the fall color show because frosts don't usually come early enough to crisp the leaves up. Fall is by far my favorite season here. In winter, the Lake Michigan coastline is a MUST SEE. The "glaciers" that form on it are incredible...and they are different EVERY year because of different wave patterns/winds/thaws. If you love a unique climate and lots of state parks/natural resources, this is a great place to live. Unfortunately, the secret is out...and as people come here from other places, they fall in love. It is getting built up way too quickly for my likes. I live between Grand Haven and Muskegon, and Suburban Sprawl is getting out of control. Sadly, this may be a big reason I move away in the years to come. I love nature, not malls and huge housing developments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Snowed like heck all afternoon and into the night, but with the very warm ground, 2" rain, and temps hovering just above freezing, snow had trouble sticking until around dark, and even then it half-heartedly stuck... 2" of frozen snow was on my car tho. Anyway, many precip and snow chances then next week to 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
