hawkeye_wx Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 A thin line of storms fired near Cedar Rapids early this morning. I received 0.23" and heard several rumbles. At this point in the season, any rumble could be the last until spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNstorms Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Steep lapse rates with some CAPE surprised me with some pea size hail. It was probably 10% rain 90% hail which was unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just had some thunder with some post frontal storms moving in. This is certainly one of the more dynamic systems we've had recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Computer down for the last few days. Got a new one, and have been busy today updating everything. Pain, but not too bad. Data for Sept showing another warm one. 8 of the last 10 have been that way in recent years with 2014/2020 being near average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Duluth made it to #3 warmth yesterday. Was watching my grandsons football game yesterday evening. Awesome weather.

IWXwx Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Picked up 0.09" last night/early this morning. First measurable rain in 18 days and a total of only 0.51" in the past 30 days. At least it's good for the farmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Decent soaker on this side of Lake Michigan. A general 1"+ in most areas. Should help ease the D0 on next weeks drought map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 I think we will definitely see snow in the sub early next week, and outside of the UP/northern tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Just taking a look at Hibbing, MN records of early Oct snowfall, been a while since even 0.1" was recorded in the first half of the month. It's really chilly this time of year, so we'll see if we get something sticking up there tonight. I-Falls is a different story, they have more recent totals. I-Falls, MN recent early Oct records.

Brian D Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hibbing seems to be an outlier. Even Duluth has snow recorded similar to I-Falls. Must an issue with making measurements or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Getting my typical rain-showers with grapple that Oct brings here. Only 20 mins of sun at 2pm. When another wave of showers came by just now at 5pm I was down to 740 lux. Yesterday for the first time in months I was put under an advisory (for wind), it was just a breeze lol.

Chinook Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 We have a late-fall type polar-air trough in Canada. I wanted to point out that the plot of the 500mb wind speed and heights always hides the subtropical jet. The second plot is the cross-section from western Ontario to the Yucatan area of Mexico. The significant change in the altitude of the -12 degree C isotherm occurs at lower altitudes than the polar jet, which maxes out its wind speed at 300mb. The subtropical jet has its max speed at 200mb and the stronger winds are almost entirely at higher altitudes than 500mb. The 0 degree C, -12 degree C, and -18 degree C isotherms dip much closer to the ground in Ontario, perhaps much closer to the ground with any of our normal-ish jet stream patterns. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Saw my first wet slushy flakes mixed in with the heavier rain showers this morning. When the rain would lighten up the flakes would disappear. Here's hoping to a good winter for the entire region, not just Bo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
