11/8 - 11/10 Plains/GL's System

0z NAM's a major tease for SMI showing marginal conditions as mostly snowfall and depicts a much more organized storm than the globals.
 

I do see my local grid is up to 80% Rain/Snow likely. Just need that to lean towards the Snow side, lol

06z NAM and other models are indicating this system really spins up as it tracks up towards the GL's/Ontario.  In fact, the NAM is showing this system go from 1016 mb near the Apps into the mid 990's within 24 hours.  My hunch was that this system would have the potential to spin up into a larger system which the Euro had been showing a few days ago due to the fact that this region has been a magnet for intensifying storm systems. 

 

There is a secondary piece, a rotating vorticity max, that the higher rez models are showing across the N GL's with this system, that rotates around the backside of the storm along with some very high winds.  This may be a bonus situation for additional snowfall.

First snowfall of the season could be on the way for some in MI. Lets see who gets in on the action.

:D  :lol:  Just in case anyone missed that key statement.  Hello 13-14 and welcome back. Man, are those nice words to read. JB's comments last Saturday may not be that far off after all, at least for the UP if not the LP of #puremichigan. I noticed that little piece rotating around the backside myself late last night and wanted to post a map but had to get some zzz's  :lol:

 

Thx Tom for covering this!

Seems like the 06Z computer models keep moving the heaviest snow farther north into Nebraska.  If it goes much farther this will be up towards South Dakota. I will need to look at the 12Z when they come out.  Still WWA here for 2-4 inches starting late tonight through Thursday with a bitterly cold day on Friday by November standards even seeing that if we have snow cover we could drop to 10 degrees or lower by Saturday morning.  Mercy.  

 

 

PS- Just looked at 12Z NAM and NAM 3km, both look good, 3km even better for my area.

The NAM continues to show this storm significantly different than the other models.  First of all it's by far the strongest, but then the secondary wave on Friday is non-existent.  The Euro is showing a strip of .2" qpf running right through my back yard on Friday.  That would be nice to see.  Could get a couple inches out of this Friday.

How do you see this system affecting SEMI? I think your area stands a betta snow accumulation.

Agree. These shoulder season events favor middle of The Mitt where the colder air can avoid the warm GL's. Still, only the NAM is painting anything note-worthy so it's a wait-n-see if it's leading the way or bluffing the other models.

GFS is further north with the Friday clipper in Iowa than the Euro.  Similar look to them, just off on the placement.  Someone looks in line to pickup 1-3" in Iowa Friday.  Thursday night here is looking like 1/2" or less.  Unless the RGEM and NAM are right.

Latest GFS has my area of Central Nebraska from 4-6".  Wonder how much will melt on contact, that always effects snow amounts.  

Your area is looking great by all the models. I don't think there will be as much melt off as you think. Sure the ground is warm, but we have had some cold mornings lately which I think will limit the amount of melting IMO.

Good point.  How about Friday with snow cover and strong north winds, can you say January weather.  Husker game Saturday looks very cold, my son and I will need to start getting out our cold weather, Red gear.

Crazy cold!! This is way too early, I almost dusted off my winter coat and wore it to school today. By Friday and Saturday I expect I'll be using it by then. Have fun at the game; morning temps in the mid teen's and only rising to the low 30's nice cold game!

Yikes.  I would stay home and watch it in the comfort of the man cave, bathroom, fridge, snacks, along with comfy chair and hundreds of channels.  My son is a 7th grader and we haven't gone to a game in 2 years and he was begging to go.  I tried to tell him about the cold but you know boys that age, they don't care about cold.

The 18z GFS keeps these 3 pieces of energy separated. IF we somehow could get them phased, we'd have the b-word JB dropped last Saturday. Would prolly be similar to the Nov 1913 White Hurricane in the Lakes

Comparing the 12z NAM and GFS, they're really not that far apart. Main diff I'm seeing is that the GFS progresses the SLP more eastward (never a GFS bias, thus see last autumn's merge-bomb fail  :rolleyes: ) whereas the NAM's a bit deeper and seems to show the SLP getting "held" if you will, just east of Detroit as it's captured in the upper levels allowing the vort(s) rotating in from the W/NW to catch up and deepen the entire system much further west and benefiting Michigan's chances of better dynamics in every category. I'd like Tom's comments when you get a chance.  ;)

At this point, it seems like the NAM is on its own in terms of strength.  The 12z Euro came in weaker actually and a little warmer around here.  You still look like you can score with some LES on the backside of the storm.  Let's see if these finer details can be ironed out by tomorrow.

Yeah NAM looking really good this morning. I think GFS is a little high with the surface temperatures.

Almost all models (@ h5) arrive at a similar output Saturday morning for the GL's. Differences lie in the evolution of how EXACTLY we get there.

Been watching the obs all night in and around the Holdrege area. CentralNEWeather is getting it pretty good. Congrats. Dry air is the upper levels is really having an effect as the snow shield is really struggling to move E.
