St Paul Storm Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 For SWMI, we tracked that in 2014. Would have to look back at where that landed. Ofc, MSP is way way NW of Marshall and thus prolly has a crazy short historical avg by comparison. Not sure about that. Those 1880's were a stretch of brutal brutal winters in your region. If they tracked such data back then, you would likely see some eye-popping short warm seasons.I was referring to the era of record keeping. Flakes this September wouldn’t mean the shortest warm season ever. I have a message into NWS Twin Cities to see if they can help pull that info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Paul Storm Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 All modes of severe wx possible tomorrow. Enhanced risk by SPC. 2-4” of rain still expected here tonight into tomorrow night. Highs in the upper 50s on Friday. Might pop the furnace on for a few minutes to make sure it works. Looks like the drastic upcoming change is legit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowawx Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I just picked up a solid 0.61" from the morning line. That should be it for us until some decaying stuff reaches the area Thursday night.I got 0.63" from that line. Looks like there is another decent round of storms in Tama county that is moving east towards CR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Really dark here now in CR. Strong round of storms moving in. Yeah, that second line was doing nothing south of HW20 in central Iowa, but built south and blew up quickly over the last hour. There is a bit of purple on radar just sw of CR, near Fairfax, so there's probably some hail there.

Hawkeye Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Well, that was certainly a bonus. A little enhanced curl in the line passed over my side of town and dropped another 0.90" in 25 minutes. My total today is 1.51". My 36 hour total is 3.41". Wow! I was not expecting so much. I've actually been lucky with each of the several lines/cells that have moved through since yesterday morning. Boy, we went from incredibly wet, to two weeks of bone dry, and then back to incredibly wet with part of my yard flooding. 3 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 The intense storms firing on the nose of the LLJ this evening appear to be setting up farther south than what models were suggesting. Even the northern tier of Iowa counties are too far north for the first round. James could be right on the line with very heavy rain just north and very little just south.

I hope some of these storms can reach CR tonight, but not sure if that will happen. I got 1.22 inches of rain today, bringing my total to 2.07 inches since yesterday.

Hawkeye Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I don't think much will be able to get down here. The last two nights/mornings the storms were on a solid ese trajectory, but with the low moving in from the west tonight there is a stronger sw to ne flow that will try to keep them from sagging south. What CR would need is for the outflow boundaries to shoot pretty far south and then get some bubbly action north of the boundary. That is currently occurring along hw20, but it'll be tougher down here. James is getting hit pretty good.

It’s kinda hard to believe things are really going to fire up as modeled with the steady rain this morning.

hlcater Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I don't agree with the SPC's 10% hatched for what it's worth. Forcing along the cold front and shear vectors both suggest nearly immediate upscale growth into a QLCS there, which was always the case. What differed from midday yesterday is that the warm front was shown to lift northward quicker, but has been hung up in northern iowa due to convectively reinforced cold air. It should still lift to the I-90 corridor this afternoon, but the delay comes with greatly decreased chances of a surface based supercell riding the SRH rich boundary. Granted, models still initiate a supercell or two north of the front, but those should be nothing more than hailers. The chance for a discrete storm is still there however, and if we get one, due to the pristine kinematic environment, it still bears watching. I think this day will be underwhelming compared to the SPC's forecast in particular. I expect a largely straight line wind event with perhaps a mesovortex tornado threat within the QLCS. http://soundings.pivotalweather.com/sounding_images/rap_2018092015_007_43.94--93.8.png Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
