Tom Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Freezing temps in the upper 20's being reported in the state of NE (except SE NE), NW IA/SD/MN...Autumn is here and likely a "taste" of what is coming by end of the month. Took a gander at the GEFS/EPS ensembles and they are seeing more blocking Week 2 (thanks to the strat warming which is prob influencing the pattern). I would watch out for the models to see the jet cut underneath a developing block across N Canada between the 20th-23rd, following that, the pattern blocks up and we will prob see flakes flying somewhere in the Plains/Upper Midwest/Lakes to finish off the month. I thought this was a timely tweet to my post by WGN...#Winteriscoming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaster220 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 It finally looks like an October day.....wet, breezy and chilly.....temps in the upper 40s. This storm track today is an ideal track for some nice, heavy snowfall in SEMI during Winter. Cant be better than this. Yeah buddy!

Tom Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Our first, monster, Bearing Sea low will be deepening into the 950's today into tomorrow and is likely going to influence our weather pattern to close out the month using the BSR rule. Not only that, but the pesky ridge that has been so dominant early on will be squashed which will relax the SE ridge going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Glad OAX issued the Freeze Warning. They outsmarted the models which were ~35°! I can survive this next warmup knowing that we will be looking at no REAL warm weather for the rest of the season. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Interestingly, both systems may over lap each other in the same time frame towards the end of Oct. Wow, just realized that. Isn't that interesting? Bearing Sea Rule is a 17-21 day time frame while the Typhoon Rule is 6-10...add 10 days to the 6-10 day period and your within the same time frame. Fascinating stuff right there.

jaster220 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 My KRMY ASOS unit tends to read a bit low for precip, but even it's up to 1.51" as of now. Still some lighter stuff going on along with those impressive NE winds. (usually takes a Sandy or TS remnant to get this kind of wind with our Sept/Oct rains). Another thing is about 1.4" came on NE winds from just after 12 am til 8 am. Convert this to SN in the cold season and it would've been the kind of intense Big Dog we've been missing around here. Even the PV Bliz and GHD-2 were long drawn-out affairs and/or little wind while the snow was actually falling. Despite really nice high-end CAT-4 totals of 18" for both, their snowstorm "impact severity rating" had to be ratcheted back. GHD-1 had the winds, but pixie-dust flakes so it's Dec '00 or Jan '99 since we've had the combined effects around here for a high-impact event. Oh, there was Jan '05 almost bliz that may have qualified. I was staying out of town when that hit, though some said it was memorable, so it may be only a 12 yr wait, not the 17 or 18 yrs I was thinking.

Amazing we had those nice winds from a 1009 mb SLP, imagine if we could get something deeper when this cycles back! Banana HP of 1030 mb due north in ONT did the trick. Goes to show, it's more about the contrast than actual baro values. Nice system! Wetting my appetite for more, ofcYup...we need more systems like this one in NDJF. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

Tom Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 @ Tom I thought you had posted that the GFS was weak sauce for the next system? "Last 3 GFS runs continue to suggest a negatively tilted trough across the central Plains this wknd...strong storms? (link: http://BAMwx.com)BAMwx.com!"Since last night, trends have been better. That's where you get the BAMWx comment. Euro isn't as amped, although, it does intensify as it track east towards the Lakes. Not a big storm but a decent one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 It's a dreary autumn morning which is more typical for this time of year. The change in the weather has been welcomed over here. A lot of leaves have fallen down from the heavy rains and winds and more trees are changing color. Looking forward to another soaking rain as the 00z Euro is showing widespread 1-2" for the same areas that keep getting hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 As I write this post, a large flock of geese is flying over my place as their seasonal migrations have begun. I have always enjoyed this time of year when animals prepare for the winter season. Speaking of Winter, 00z EPS honing in on a chilly pattern around the 25th for the deep south and central CONUS to close out the month...everything is seemingly pointing towards an amplified N.A. pattern. Someone is going to see the flakes fly by the time the month is out. There is some potential for a major developing trough forming somewhere across the Midwest/Apps/Lakes to close out the month. I'm still not overly confident of the placement but a deep trough is looking more likely. http://wx.graphics/models/ecmwf/2017101200/noram/eps_t850_anom_noram_336.png http://wx.graphics/models/ecmwf/2017101200/noram/eps_t850_anom_noram_360.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 These later sunrises are becoming more and more noticeable. Just checked that daylight savings ends on November 5th (2:00am) this year...can't wait to have the models come in an hour earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 RPM suggesting a nearly repeat performance of heavy rain for this weekends event across N IL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Diving into the long range pattern, based on what I'm seeing in the N PAC with the track of the forecast storm to target the western chain of the Aleutian islands on the 16th...this would translate into a storm forming somewhere in the southern Plains/Midwest and track up somewhere in the OV/Lakes region between the 23rd-25th. With a developing -NAO, this has the potential to become a major buckling trough. The BSR rule would also suggest a big amplifying trough. This falls in line with the idea of a big storm that may be the cause of a big pattern change and this would fit that component. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 So far this fall the coldest it has officially gotten at Grand Rapids is 40° This year is the latest it has gotten in the fall without getting below 40° since 1914! There is a chance that we could be in the running or a new latest first sub 40° night this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
