westMJim Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 With the 9.36” of rain that had fallen at GRR this is not only the wettest October in recorded history at Grand Rapids it is also the 6 wettest all time month as will and we are within reach of 5th place as that currently is 9.52” that fell in September of 1981. Also even with the recent cool down October mean here is still 56.9° (+5.3°) and while that will go down over the next 3 days this month will still be above average and one of the warmest October’s in the last 20 years.

Temperatures will moderate mid week,but more rain showers will return Wednesday night and Thursday asanother low pressure system approaches. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday)Issued at 330 AM EDT Mon Oct 30 2017 Main fcst challenge is precipitation types and potential for somelight snow accumulations. Main threat for snow is from aboutmidnight tonight through mid morning Tuesday and best threat ofaccumulation up to an inch is in the higher elevations north ofBig Rapids, but also cannot rule out a coating on the grasselsewhere with the exception of the immediate Lk MI shoreline. Overall little impact expected, but still an early taste of wintryweather. Not a very pleasant pattern for trick or treat timetomorrow with wind chills expected to be in the lower 30s. Expect shower coverage to increase/expand this morning witharrival of shortwave and westerly flow lake enhancement. Initiallyearly this morning the best coverage will be west of Hwy 131 butas winds increase and H8 temps continue to fall behind the coldfront we should see showers spreading across the entire areatoward noon. The convection should also take on more of a cellular nature thisafternoon as deeper mixing develops. Deep inversion heightsaround 10K feet may lead to some briefly heavier showers withgusty winds. Fcst soundings support a mix of rain and snow northof I-96 but inland from lk mi through about mid morning todaybefore temps warm. Some fairly healthy scattered lake effect convection shouldpersist tonight and Tuesday as we remain anchored in the H5 troughwith H8 temps around -6C. Cooling sfc temps will support a higherpotential for snow 03z-15Z Tuesday. 2 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I was on the other (northeast) side of town a while ago and there was rain mixed with wet snow flakes. Also on the news they had pictures of hail that cover the ground and over at the lake shore there were reports of water spouts on the lake. They had pictures of the hail cover the ground and a waterspout.

St Paul Storm Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Snow showers here most the day. Didn’t accumulate with temps in the mid 30s. Speaking of snow, tomorrow marks the anniversary of the Twin Cities’ biggest snowstorm ever (1991). A 3-day event where 28.4” fell at MSP and 37” in Duluth. Cars in Minneapolis were buried in a frozen glacier until April. Man I wished I lived here for that one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaster220 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Winds are howling out there and with the low baro Lake Michigan would really be responding deeper into the cold season. We'd be getting raked with some areas getting squalls and near bliz conditions no doubt.

Niko Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Some light snowshowers tomorrow may whiten up grassy surfaces in my area. Ofc, no accumulations, but Halloween goers will have to bundle up, that's for sure. Temps will be in the 40s all day w a wcf near or at freezing.

jaster220 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Saw some flurries and graupel on my morning commute, but as this radar grab shows plainly, the bulk of the real wintery action is north of the 94 corridor. Got westerly winds converging to thank for that. Oh well, looks like a hefty streamer all the way across to my native Genesee Cnty. Perhaps it will sag south and clip Niko's place as well? 3 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
