PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
Here is the CIPS analogs, which are similar to the SPC.
At least for my area, it looks like mostly long straight hodographs, which will favor splitting storms. Lapse rates are excellent and the temperatures aloft are cool so large hail is probably the biggest hazard. It looks like an initial discrete supercell phase near or just east of here, following by a transition to QLCS stuff. Should be a potentially fun event at least.
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 43/27 there was no rain/snowfall it was yet another windy day with the highest wind gust of 35 MPH out of the W. The sun was out 96% of the time. For today the average H/L is 50/31 the record high of 82 was set in 1910 and the record low of 6 was set in 1970. The most rainfall of 0.83” was in 1973 the most snowfall of 7.5” was in 1954 the most on the ground was 8” in 1970. Last year the H/L was 39/23 and there was 0.6” of snowfall.
There is a lot of frost this morning and the overnight low here was a cold 21 and at the current time it is 23 with clear skies.
