11/14 - 11/20 | Possible Southern Plains to Great Lakes Accumulating Snow


Clinton

Recommended Posts

I'm not real excited about this.  It will be a long-duration, on and off, light snow, with a temp rising into the 30s Tuesday.  It will likely have trouble sticking, especially on pavement.  It's only mid November and it will be nice just to see it snow and stick a bit.  That's good enough.  I'm happy to save real snow for winter.

Models not looking to bad, I'll be excited to see some flakes fly and maybe a little on the ground during this long lasting cold spell.  The snow will fall at the perfect time to stick with the marginal temps.  EAX leaning in the direction of the GFS for accumulations.

The snowflake contest may come to a end before the deadline is even up

Not a very organized system once it arrives here in SMI, but, I'll take a little light snow w/ a coating to an inch on grassy surfaces for this time of the year. Looks like the main show will be Tuesday nite here w/ any mix going over to all snow. It will definitely put a lot in the holiday spirit.

Also, the arctic front by weeks end will put a real drop in temps.

This graphic is the epitome of a "Split Flow" combine with an active #STJ...makes me giddy seeing this advertised both here in AZ and back home on the wx graphics!  For all the LRC followers, you can't deny this is will likely be an Exhibit of the LRC.

A couple of inches of snow looking likely here for SMI (1-3) for now. Not too shabby.

Temps are currently in the mid 20s under crystal clear skies.

 

Look what happens afterwards:

A strong northwest flow shortwave/arctic intrusion will lead to an
excitement of the Lake effect late Thursday and Friday. Depending on
timing and strength of shortwave could be looking at an active
period as any snow accumulation should be impactful given cold
temperatures that could be in the teens and 20s.

I'm starting to feel your pain, and I haven't even been here that long. This pattern is just not good for bringing significant moisture into NE/S SD. Hopefully after the pattern resets there can be some slight adjustments to change that aspect of it. Otherwise it's going to be a very long, frustrating winter.

Unfortunately, we just had one of those.  One of the driest winters in history, 2021-2022.  Two in a row would be be devastating for the agricultural industry that is already struggling.

GFS with some impressive totals in southern MN.

Brutal early season UHI/Lake Shadowing for both Chicago (nobody there anyways so NBD) and Detroit Metro where I fight both Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair effects. As said about a month ago - COME ON COLD! Seriously tho, this region scores best on late winter events for that very reason so it's not unusual, just annoying as h*ll

LOT mentioned in their disco that heavier rates may overcome but we know how difficult that is unless you have a stout HP seeding bitter cold this early in the season.

Here we go: From GRR

 

--HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW POSSIBLE THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY--     IDEAL SET-UP WILL BE IN PLACE THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY TO SEE SOME   POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW AND TRAVEL IMPACTS. DEEP   UPPER TROUGH WILL BE OVERHEAD WITH NEAR RECORD COLD SWEEPING IN   FROM THE WEST AND SEVERAL SHORTWAVES PASSING THROUGH. THE LK MI   WATER TEMP IS STILL NEAR 10C AT THE SRN BUOY WHICH WOULD CREATE   EXTREME INSTABILITY BY FRIDAY WHEN AIR COLDER THAN -15C IS   ARRIVING FROM THE WEST.

Yeah, those latest NAM maps looked impressive, even if reduced by 30% - Good Luck over there where the West is the best part of The Mitt!

 

Suddenly, DTX is much more upbeat??

Which Chiberia can get. Over here I get polar air very modified by the 2 upstream GL's. Explains how/why Motown's greatest storm was at the end of winter (technically MET Spring).

At any rate, glad to see things ticking UP as this draws closer (for all involved)

LOT suggesting they may Bust to Low with snowfall totals near the Lake.  Very interesting set up and I'm very curious to see how this evolves.  I'd love to see this kind of system repeat a few times this winter.

In fact, lake temperatures of +10
to +11C and 850mb temperatures of -6 to -7C as well as inversion
heights pushing 11,000-12,000 feet will generate as much as 250-350
J/kg of lake-induced CAPE from late Tuesday afternoon through early
Wednesday morning, leading to concern that lake enhancement to snow
may "overachieve" in spite of marginal surface temperatures.
Interestingly, the 12Z HREF shows splotchy 20-30% probabilities of
snow rates >1"/hr between 2-3 PM Tuesday and 3-4 AM Wednesday across
the northern Chicago suburbs. Perhaps more concerning is the 12Z
HREF 24-hour local probability-matched mean QPF of 0.75-1.00" across
Lake, Cook, and northeastern DuPage counties. When applying a
standard 10:1 snow ratio, it`s easy to see how snow totals may get
out of hand. However, without a persistent band hitting the same
area for hours and hours, it may be tough to truly realize the
snowfall amounts advertised by individual high resolution CAMs that
inform the HREF. For now, we will cautiously advertise an additional
2-3 inches of snow on top of what falls in the morning keeping in
mind our forecast may be way too low.

In other words...."we're nowcasting this one folks!" Lol. 

Pretty awesome dynamics off the lake there, I'd say!
