Tom Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 It has been a cloudy stretch over here and I can't remember the last time I saw the sun for more than an hour. I was spoiled with the sunshine back in AZ and coming back to Chi it really makes you appreciate that natural Vitamin D and energy from the Sun. Hope to see some peaks of sun later this afternoon. With the clouds hanging tough, the overnight temps have kept the means AN and will continue into next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 @ClintonThe Euro Weeklies from last night are dialing in on the LRC's more notable storms/active SW Flow late JAN pattern and early FEB. I'm not even going to post the FEB snow maps because they are just freakin' ridiculously snowy. Another Back-Loaded Winter??? For many on here that may be the outcome (including MBY), Yes, but for those up north its going to be #endlesswinter well into Spring. I just really hope that things begin to line up and the models start to digest the teleconnections or mother nature flips the switch on us! @sumweatherdude, was it you or someone else who posted the Euro Weeklies 10mb zonal winds? Anyway, the PV guru @judahcohen says his AI learning machine is showing a SSW event late JAN into FEB and coincides with the Euro Weeklies run last night. I have learned from him that prior to a major disruption, it tends to warm up across the CONUS so we can very well be going through this stretch right now. In similar fashion, the CFSv2 weeklies are in agreement as well that a strong SW Flow pattern evolves...I almost certain that @hawkstwelvewill cash in on another Big Dog later this month and into the MSP region. I originally thought the pattern would press farther south by this time in JAN but that obviously is not happening. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Good morning! Yes, it did snow here in Grand Rapids yesterday. And for a while there was a trace of snow on the ground in MBY but that snow is now all melted. The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 36/33 there was 0.09” of precipitation of that a trace was snow fall. There was no reported sunshine but there was a thin spot to the SW here at my house just before sunset. The temperature held around 33 for much of the overnight and at this current time it is 34 and cloudy. For today the average H/L is 32/20 the record high of 57 was set in 2008 and the record low of -12 was set in 1988. The largest snow fall of 11.0” was in 1918 in more recent times there was a snow fall of 7.6” in 2004. There looks like there could be some sunshine over the weekend with temperatures above average in the mid to upper 30’s for highs and mid to upper 20’s for lows. It has not fallen below 32 in the last 8 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 biggest storms of this years LRC should show up in that time. Jan31st -Feb 3rd Feb 9th - Feb 11th I also expect a long lasting Artic outbreak from late in week 3 through at least the first 3 weeks of February. All the players and LR forecasting techniques point to that MJO, LRC, Cahirs Connection. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chescowxman Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 We have picked up 0.15" of rain since yesterday here in East Nantmeal. A few more light showers this morning before sun returns this PM. We should see our first freezing temperature of the year (since December 29th) by tomorrow morning. It has been an incredibly warm start to 2023. Temps should return to near normal this weekend and stay near there for at least the next week to 10 days. Most models still show a chance of some snow arriving on Sunday night and ending by the Monday AM commute. This has the potential to be the largest snow event of the season. Of course our biggest snow event so far has been 0.5" The record high for today is 68.8 degrees set in 2007. The record low is 4 below zero from 1904. Record rain is the 1.30" that fell in 1962. Our record daily snow is the 5.5" that fell today in 1970. 1 Quote All historical weather data analytics posted by me is specifically for the climate of Chester County PA.

PCPN WILL FALL MAINLY IN THE FORM OF FLURRIES/SNOW GRAINS AND SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE GIVEN THAT FCST SOUNDINGS FROM ACROSS OUR AREA SHOW AN UNSATURATED DGZ. ANY FREEZING DRIZZLE EARLY THIS MORNING WOULD BE ISOLATED. SFC TEMPS ACROSS OUR AREA ARE IN THE 32-34 DEGREE RANGE ATTM WITH JUST WET CONDITIONS. TEMPS WILL REMAIN STEADY DURING THE EARLY MORNING HRS AND MAY EVEN BUMP UP A DEGREE OR TWO AROUND DAYBREAK. GIVEN THESE MARGINAL TEMPS WE THINK ANY FREEZING DRIZZLE EARLY THIS AM WILL BE ISOLATED WITH MINIMAL IF ANY IMPACTS TO TRAVEL. THE LIGHT LINGERING PCPN TODAY WILL FINALLY COME TO AN END TONIGHT AS RIDGING AT THE SFC AND ALOFT BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE NW AND DRIER AIR ADVECTS INTO THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. - FAIR WEATHER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK - RIDGING BUILDING IN AT THE SFC/ALOFT WILL BRING FAIR WX WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

Still plenty of time for changes, but seeing that type of weather almost in the heart of winter is quite disappointing. Hoping that changes as we have plenty of winter left anyway.

The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 35/31 there was a total of 0.14” of rain and melted snow. 0.6” of snow fall was officially reported. There were some cars with snow on them last night not sure where they were with that snow fell onto the cars. Here in MBY there was a trace of snow on the ground for the 2nd night in a row. There was no sunshine officially yesterday but once again there was a few minutes of thin clouds here that the sun could be seen thru. The temperature held around 32/31 all through the overnight and the current temperature in MBY is 32. For today the average H/L is 32/20 the record high of 63 was set in 2008 and the record low of -15 was set in 1988.

Relative elevation will play a role in who sees any actual accumulation on non-paved surfaces. Most models are painting from 0.5" to at most 2.0" across the county. Incredibly for some this may be the largest snowfall so far this winter season. Here in East Nantmeal the most snow from one event has been the 0.5" on 12/23. The record high for today is 70 degrees from 1907. The record low was set just 9 years ago with a 1.6 degree below zero reading. The record precipitation record is the 2.12" of water equivalent in 1996. That is also the record snow for today with the 22.8" that fell during day one of our 5th largest all-time snowstorm here in Chester County. When the storm ended on the 8th we had a 28.9" storm total. 1 Quote All historical weather data analytics posted by me is specifically for the climate of Chester County PA. We continually analyze the actual raw non-adjusted NWS certified Coop observed climate data for Chester County. There have been no post observation adjustments to any of the detailed analytics. All data is sourced from trained NWS observers and spotters. The life blood of science is to challenge what is thought to be known. The concept that climate change etc. is somehow “settled science” describes a religion - a belief system that does not welcome challenges. We should all continue to challenge science!

Niko Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 NOAA: The next chance for widespread precipitation will be centered late Thursday into Friday once a midweek Pacific wave comes onshore and aids in the development of low pressure. Plenty of uncertainties still exist at this time regarding the longwave pattern (progressive vs. possible cut-off low) and thermal profile over SE MI, which will have implications on p-types. Lets see how this plays out, but if I were to guess, w/ the way this winter has been going, I'd go w/ a rainstorm instead of snow. I.e., rain, heavy at times on Thursday and then Friday rain tapering off to a few snowshowers as colder air filters in, as the low moves away in a SE direction w/ no accumulations expected, perhaps a coating, if that. Later that evening, skies remain mostly cloudy and cold w/ lows in the 20s, w/ patches of ice forming, due to flooding. This will be the storm for S MI, watch!!!! 1 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

Although we had a dusting of snow last night which was a surprise. So who knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
