Seems like things have gone back a little bit in the other direction... less favorable interaction with the northern stream and thus less snow around the Lakes.  Still time to flip back again I suppose.

S, and a little less dynamic yes. It is now actually taking a path favorable for Chicago & SMI to get winter wx if it were a month deeper into winter. May even end with a few flakes in parts of SEMI per DTX's AFD.

For us, models have been going back and forth for days.  Today they are all going back southeast.  It's looking like maybe some very light showers, at most, for Cedar Rapids.

I did a Black Friday drive. By old school rules, I'd say highway M-46 and north away from any lake shadow has the best shot at seeing some flakes whitening the ground. Not going to be anything big anywhere in The Mitt, but it will be another reminder that winter's knocking on the door as we march into December. I think the 18z NAM has a pretty realistic portrayal of the potential.

To show just how sparse and lack-luster the moisture has been here in 2022, this has the potential to be the largest qpf since last Feb's half RN/half SN winter storm on the 17th.

DTW forecast (8 miles south of here):

Sunday
Rain, mainly after 8am. High near 46. Light and variable wind becoming east northeast 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
Sunday Night
Rain, mainly before 8pm. Low around 35. Northwest wind 8 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Wide swath of 1-1.75 inches of rain expected for most of Texas through tomorrow. @Andie

 

Geez, we’re soaked in North Tx. The ground is so super saturated you sink in it. We try to stay on hard surfaces.  
If all of this had been snow we’d be house bound for a week.  
On the Tx/Okla border it’s just saturated.  
52*. Rain.  Coming to an end this morning.

What a beautiful looking system that will eventually develop a trowal feature on radar pulling deep moisture out of the GOM...

Look at that northern cutoff along the trowel, sure has a Winter storm look.  Nice rain totals for those in it's path.

Was thinking the same thing with the northern edge defined so distinctly. If winter, it would be a really strange scenario that hit KC and DET, while mostly bypassing Chicago. Lake enhancement off of Lk. Michigan would no doubt fill in that gap, but still would be an oddball storm.

DTX confirming that this GOMEX Low is quite the wet system:

Unseasonably high moisture will accompany this
system as PWAT values of around 0.25" this evening will quickly
climb between 0.75" to just over 1.00" by Sunday morning. These
values fall easily in the 90th percentile for this time of year. The
main surface low track will move over the Toledo area and into
western Lake Erie during the afternoon and place the best
deformation zone and subsequent higher rainfall totals of 0.50-1.00"
along and south of the I-69 corridor. Lower rainfall totals of 0.25-
0.50" are expected north of I-69.

I've forgotten what it's like to tally up qpf during a long rainstorm. Looking good down there. Surprised how temps have dropped into the 30's pre-storm. Thought we'd be warm all night like usual here. Time to look for Hi-res model last-minute changes.

You might get some flakes to move in tomorrow with the low to your SE.  If only it were 5 to 10 degrees colder we would be diggin.  Looks like .5 to 1 inch up your way.

I lost track of how much rain DFW received but I’m pretty certain Ft Worth got over 2.50”. 
It just would stop and it was seriously cold. Sliced through you.

Big rain here last night as I received an even 2 inches.  This is the second time this month a storm has produced 2 inches or more of rainfall which is crazy because November here only averages 2.02 inches.  Since October 23rd I have received 6.4 inches of rain!  4.2 so far for November.

Hoping this can be a repeat in C-3 with those colder temps. Was your 2" RN total an over performance against modeling and/or forecast?

Only the Euro and ICON on yesterday mornings runs showed those kinda totals for mby.  HRRR never showed more than 1.4 here.  So overperformance and above my expectations.  NWS office showed 1-1.5 for me.

.UPDATE...

Widespread moderate showers are spreading through the Thumb and Tri-
Cities this morning with a deformation band strengthening overhead
and leading to locally higher rates stretching from Alma to Bad Axe.
Correlation coefficient data places freezing level around 4 to 5
kft, which confirms the 0.5 degree reflectivity across the north is
being enhanced by a strong bright banding signature. Some of this
mixed/frozen precip will have the potential to reach the surface
over the next hour or so as the banding continues pivoting over the
northern CWA, but accumulations are not expected as dew points and
wet bulb temps continue to rise above freezing.

So I did some quick investigating.  In terms of calendar day precip, the 1.04" at DTW today ended a 282 day streak without 1" of precip. 

The 282 day streak was the 16th longest on record.  There was actually a 289 day streak that began in 2020 and went into 2021.  The record longest streak without a calendar day precip of 1"+ is 571 days, which went from 9/7/1943 through 3/30/1945.

This place is known as "the place active storms go to die" for a reason! Even more telling - when I looked at the "current storm reports" there was ONLY 1 SINGLE PAGE! Any other CWA around The MItt would have pages and pages of recent report history for wind, temps, precip, etc. NOT DTX. I kid you not, since moving here I've averaged like (2) days of interesting wx events PER YEAR. May be slight hyperbole, but not by much.

Well, hopefully we both get hammered this winter.  May be tough to do that in the same storm though.  Anything that nails me really good is probably going to result in mixing/dry slot concerns for you, unless the track is pretty flat (virtually west-east).

Have to root for that DEC '00 or GHD-2 kind of system (could add NOV '15). I am riding a personal mega-losing streak over the last 2 winters so yeah, I need me a major pick-me-up in the Winter Wx Dept. While GHD-1 got this CWA it's last Bliz Warning, the JAN '99 Bliz was much better and worthy of the headline around here. That one was a very rare share the wealth ORD to DTW beast. I could gladly do that again. Drifts to 7 feet in the farmlands SW of here iir reporting correctly back then. And the whole Northwest Airlines stuck on the tarmac at DTW fiasco - that would suck!

'99 is a rare exception of not needing a flattish type of track.  That one actually cut very hard, but the antecedent airmass was so cold that it still pretty much resulted in all-snow for Detroit.
