Tom Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I always enjoy seeing the lake become a factor locally. Â A rather impressive lake enhanced band is producing downpours locally in and around Cook county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Near record heat on tap here both tomorrow and Friday. Â Local mets suggest 90F on Thu and 92F on Fri (record 92F).

Tom Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 If you need a break from the coming heat?  Don't worry, wait about a week and cooler risks are now coming into more agreement.  GFS/EURO not necessarily agreeing on the strength of the cool down next week.  Euro much stronger than the GFS at the moment.  The cool shot will hit the Plains first early next week, then slide east as expected. 00z Euro brings down the 0C 850's into the Midwest later in the extended period.  We have seen this before but never actually panned out.  Need to see what happens with Marie.

Tom Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 If my current thinking is right, this pattern is going to snap into the new LRC right at the open of October. Â Expecting a major trough around the 5th of October to dive towards British Columbia and then make its way S/SE into the central states...give or take a day or two....there looks to be a signal for a SE ridge first week of October.

westMJim Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have not looked at ever year, but in looking at past warm Septembers if this plays out we could be looking at the warmest September 17th to the 25 in Grand Rapids recorded history but this will not come close to the heat wave that was recorded at Lansing in 1891. At Lansing in September 1891 starting on the 17th all the way thru the 28th the highs were in the upper 80’s with a couple of 90’s in the mix. The warm temps held over into the start of October at Lansing in 1891. Records do not go that far back at Grand Rapids. October 1891 turned colder and ended up much colder than average at Lansing. November was much colder than average ( -6..3°) and the snow started mid month. December 1891 was warm (+5.7°) January 1892 it was back to cold again (-6.4°) but not much snow fall, February was near average (+0.2°) and March it was back to cold again (-5.0°) But anyway we shall see how this warm spell ends up but as stated it could be the warmest in GRR recorded history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 ORD just officially hit 91F...let the heat wave begin.

Tom Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Both Euro/EPS starting to hint at a big trough around the 28th through the end of the month.  Hurricane Maria interacts with a piece of energy hanging back from the frontal boundary that will be forming next week in the middle of the nation.        Impressive, 12z Euro has the 850's 0C line near the Lakes for 3 days late month... Day 9 & 10...  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
