Baum Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 20 hours ago, Chicago Storm said: Wednesday and Thursday featured top notch weather around here for a week before Thanksgiving, with both days featuring highs in the mid-60's and ample sun. We've reached the point where there's an abnormal amount of foliage still lingering, some of which is still green. Even with the cool down coming for a period of time after Thanksgiving, it's looking likely we'll be still carrying some foliage, some green, on into early December. oddly, I drove I-80 to NYC this week. It seemed like most areas were pretty much bare except for our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bare here. Outside a rogue oak or Bradford pear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro still has nice cold/wintry look for the next two weeks. Also supported by its ensemble. American models have been like unmanned fire hoses. Last year was an earlier than normal leaf drop here. 2021 was late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Apple trees still have green leaves in my backyard as well as the Bradford pears. Maples are brown but still hanging on o e tree. Oaks haven’t dropped yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess the same is seen in terms of a delay in spring blooming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Was down to 23 here this morning under clear, calm conditions. High today should top out in the mid-upper 30's, which is seasonal. Slow start to the snow season. Have to go all the way back to 2012 to not have at least some snow otg on today's date. In 2015 there was just a trace but every other year there was ground cover. To date MQT has received 4.7 inches, average is 17.2 inches (-12.5"). Not complaining, actually don't really mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Last warmish day for awhile today. Should make it to near 60. Perfect day for the last round of leaf/yard cleanup for '23. A little light rain late Monday/Monday night but other than that it looks very quiet. A few wussy snow systems have fleetingly shown up at times next weekend and the week after, but doesn't look like anything to get too excited about. Hopefully things get more active in December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say this is a little late but not absurdly late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardypalmguy Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Yikes, this week's big "cooldown" vaporized like Sarah Connor in the opening scene of Terminator 2. Like I said, modest cooldown this week, then back to regularly scheduled torch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I knew things have been quiet, but how quiet? We have yet to make a storm thread this fall, and judging by the long range we are gonna be waiting awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 It's going to be one of those weeks that the sun will be in much shorter supply. The upcoming weekend doesn't look great, either. The only day we'll have any luck getting sun over the next several days will be Thanksgiving. Overall, a pretty dreary Thanksgiving week ahead, with a few days of rain and some days of suicide weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I just can't help but think that dry/warm conditions in November are going to lead to wet/cool conditions as we swing into DJF. Overall though I think we have to admit the CONUS has not been overly volatile compared to stretches we've seen in the 21st century which probably is not a terrible thing considering the prolific tornado seasons & winters that we've been hit with in the past 23 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently in the 30s with a WC below freezing as a system heads this way. I'm fine with this for November. This is better than a premature snowstorm like say 11-11-19. If it's going to be split-flow, aka S Stream dominant then we just need it a bit colder than last winter which basically featured that same Nino styled pattern. A repeating theme has been these cold pools of air just NE of here (where it is currently in the 20s) feeding into this region. Not ideal, but work-able imo.

Now we are about to get the 2nd sig system so while there has been a lot of pleasant sunny days, it hasn't been a total snoozefest. Hourly showing 0.82" at DTW. Hoping for an over-performer. Late morning looking quite raw with WC's in the 30s and ongoing SHRN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Picked up 0.14" of rain over the past 6 hours. Top 2 event for November. Up to 0.35" for the month now. EDIT: Finished with 0.40" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Very mellow wx recently. Dry continues. Did have some events earlier in the month, so sitting at 1.35". Nov avg is 2.18" so only need a little more. Had top 5 warmth in the middle of the month which is the only notable wx so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 It's looking good for our first snow of the season Saturday night into Sunday morning. We might be able to whiten the ground just a bit if the northern models are right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Happy Thanksgiving guys. Hope your day has been a good one. Off to my daughter's place for family get together, and feasting on this chilly day. Highs in the mid 20's inland to low 30's lakeshore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
