Aleksey Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 We had our first huge flakes morning of Halloween in western Michigan! The Nam is is crush job for me in Saranac, Mi, just east of GR. Nam laying down 2-4” for me tomorrow night into Sunday morning. I highly doubt it, but if dynamic cooling does occur I can see 1-2” being a possibility. Nam has been consistent with this solution as well. If the Nam still shows this solution tomorrow afternoon, I’ll start to believe I may get some accumulating snow tomorrow night into Sunday morning!

We had some pretty good snow showers here yesterday. Have to clarify. I work in St Joe and last week they got snow overnight but I didn't see it fall. Had flakes in Marshall twice but I was at work 1st time, and asleep last week when my deck caught a dusting. Tomorrow I may finally cross paths with flakes flying, not just sitting, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very light dusting during that brief record cold snap but still waiting on first measurable. It's coming obviously ❄❄❄. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Anyone near Bloomington, IN? Rutgers-Indiana game starts in 20 min and forecast, all along has been for rainy, windy conditions with a chance of a t-storm. However, the HRRR is showing no real rain until about 2-3 pm. Just looking for any reports or local insight for the 12-4 pm timeframe. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Some nice bright banding on radar. Rain has temporarily waned here. Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 1014 AM CST Sat Nov 18 2017 .UPDATE... 1010 AM CST Still monitoring convective trends this morning, mainly across central IL and central IN. However, focus turning more towards the north where a wintry mix is likely today. Latest radar imagery depicting the strongest development now exiting the southern CWA and focusing more into areas away from the CWA. Hail was likely limited to isolated reports of small hail, with periods of heavy rainfall the more likely scenario. Heaviest rainfall is ending, but with light to moderate rain still likely today. As colder air moves across the area, have seen a change over to a wintry of rain, snow, and sleet across portions of northwest and north central IL. Cooling column will support mainly a rain snow mix, however, think a brief period of sleet will remain possible during the initial transition. Will likely see this wintry mix expand into other areas in far northeast Illinois, along and north of I-88, over the next 1-2 hours. Confidence does lower with regards to this wintry mix getting into other areas in Illinois today. Monitoring extent of deeper moisture in place today, and timing of coldest air moving through the area that will both affect the extent of the coverage of the wintry mix. Do think it will be possible for other areas in northern Illinois, between I-80 and I-88 to see at least a small window. Overall, any snow accumulations should be minor and be confined to grassy surfaces. Also monitoring higher winds expected later today. Although stronger winds likely area wide with gusts approaching 35-40 MPH, think slightly stronger winds will be possible for areas near the lake especially in northwest Indiana. Will keep an eye on wind trends for these locations through midday. While strongest winds should focus in northwest Indiana, a period of stronger winds focused into the central and southern portions of Cook county through midday could bring higher waves into these locations. If this were to occur, some minor lake shore flooding could be possible. Once again, at this time, think the stronger winds and higher waves should be focused in northwest Indiana where the current lake shore flood advisory is in place.

TugHillMatt Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 We have had some heavier returns form over us during the past hour as well. It is the type of precip. that looks like it is trying so hard to stay as snow, but isn't making it to the surface yet. It almost looks like snow mixing in, but I haven't seen the floating type of snowflakes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachLB Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 * Primary threats iclude... Widespread damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...A fast-moving line of thunderstorms will sweep across the watch area this afternoon, posing a risk of locally damaging wind gusts.

TugHillMatt Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Nice snowfall pics... A very occasional flake of snow mixing here...but mostly rain. As usual with so many synoptic events, the lake is ruining our chance of snow. Allendale, 25 minutes inland, is a different story. Nice sized flakes mixing in. http://148.61.63.226/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=1685 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Numerous places reporting 2-3” of rain from this morning, lots of road flooding in CMI probably due in part to leaves clogging the drains. Cold front came through and winds are gusting to 35MPH temps have fallen from 63 back down to 40. A very roller coaster pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
