Tom Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Can't help but notice that despite the SLP being centered well west in MN, the effects are covering the Mitt like a big circular spiral. I mentioned in my post about the sky conditions I photographed yesterday that they indicated a good scenario. Just imagine this a bit east during winter. Watch out! if that happens like it did back in Feb of '85. 24+ inches of LES in Battle Creek per the data. 20191020-18z gfs_mslpa_us_7.pngModels have trended towards a stronger, tightly, wrapped SLP right over MSP today as it slowly tracks up into SW Ontario. Like you said, I love seeing these trends going forward. I was gonna say, looks like the western shores of MI are expecting 10-14 footers tomorrow. Yikes! Not again...I think there will be severe damage by the time Winter rolls around. People who own property up/down the shoreline are going to want the ice to build up quickly this year to avoid the erosion. That's one pretty looking storm...beastly! Low 980's??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 This is one impressive looking radar...it literally has a line of storms stretching all the way down into deep TX up all the way into the Dakotas!

Tom Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Oh no, as Jaster said, there was a large wedge Tornado touchdown over N Dallas last night and people were caught in the middle of it on the roadways. Not a good combination, esp being a nighttime twister. Major damage across town. https://twitter.com/i/status/1186114650594787394 Tyler Seguin's house was destroyed....he's a hockey player for the Dallas Stars... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 It got wild down here real fast last night. The storms weren't very strong on the west side of Ft.Worth but quickly blew up and hammered Dallas. Odds o go from dull warm days to chaos. Heavy rain last night, but the high winds and tornado were not a welcomed change. Also quiett his morning as folks east of me are trying to pick up the pieces. 2 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Grizzcoat Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Not as wild as that tornado in TX- but Central IA has AGAIN been soaked. Overnight rains in the 1-2" range have pushed the official DSM rainfall for OCT through 7AM to 7.20". Good for 2nd place all time dating back to the early 1880's with 1st place just .09" away at 7.29" set in 1941. Yearly stands at 46.52" good enough for 5th all time with still 2+ months left. AVG yearly rainfall for Orlando, FL is 52" --- I hope this translates into some WHITE GOLD!!! 6 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

westMJim Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have not been outside yet this AM but looking out the window I can tell you that there has been a big uptick in the color in my area. Even with the clouds today the color is real good but there are a lot of leaves now falling and with the wind coming in that will only increase. At this time it is 53° both here at my house and at GRR. The H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 68/46 and October is now almost at average at +0.1° For today the average H/L is 58/40 the record high is 85 set in 1953 and the record low is 18 set in 1974. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 45 degrees with sprinkles and a northwest wind of 35 gusting over 50 MPH and forecast says winds could gust to 60 MPH. Leaves are falling like crazy. Not a great color fall for sure. Many leaves had already fallen as green after the 3 nights of hard freezes. Now the winds have been very strong the last several days. I would say 3/4 of the leaves or more in town will be down by tomorrow. Ahead of schedule from my knowledge of leaves here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 For the sake of the lakeshore, I'm glad this isn't happening. It'll be bad enough as-is. .DISCUSSION...(Today through next Sunday)Issued at 330 AM EDT Mon Oct 21 2019Another fall storm system will affect the region over the course ofthe next 36 to 48 hours. We finally have some consensus with thedepth of the low, in the 980`s mb`s, over Wisconsin. Yesterday a runof the ECMWF deterministic had a 975mb low over Wisconsin. Now boththe GFS and ECMWF are in the low 980`s. Still a formidable low byGreat Lakes fall standards. A reason why this will be a bit moreimpactful in terms of winds along the lakeshore is that the low inWisconsin pinwheels towards us late tonight into Tuesday morning.this will place the tightest pressure gradient right over LakeMichigan. See details in the marine section on the Gale Warning andLakeshore Flood Warning that are now in place. We may need toconsider a Wind Advisory on the land in the lakeshore counties forespecially on Tuesday. At this point holding off on that, but theday shift may need to consider it.

Also, a few ancient buildings, which had a museum, which, I went inside and observed. Small town, but interesting to say the least. The reason for this mini trip was to go to the Applecider spot where you eat fresh donuts and drink fresh apple juice. It was kinda nice. They had a trainride also. Yes, I went on it.

jaster220 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Went up north yesterday in Romeo (Jaster, you might know the area) and I gotta tell ya, it was a very picturesque place to visit, especially this time of the year. Also, a few ancient buildings, which had a museum, which, I went inside and observed. Small town, but interesting to say the least. The reason for this mini trip was to go to the Applecider spot where you eat fresh donuts and drink fresh apple juice. It was kinda nice. They had a trainride also. Yes, I went on it. I like trains. LMAO at "up north". What is that, a 15 min drive from Macomb?? "Up north" starts at Michigan state hwy 55. That's about 100 miles north of yby. I had an uncle, my dad's older brother, who was born and raised in Detroit. Furthest north he ever ventured during his entire lifetime was Flint. And that was for his honeymoon! You mentioned "ghost towns" north of Detroit. Cracked me up since I go outta my way to take the most off the beaten track back-roads whenever I can. Makes me remember a Purer Michigan before all the national chain stores & eateries made every town look the same. It feels closer to the Michigan I grew up with. Anyways, trains are cool. Sounds like a great cider orchard. Used to do that when the kids were young. Fresh cider, donuts, and a hay-wagon ride. An autumn tradition in SMI that I do miss.. 1 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...

The ride was around 20 min. Not that bad. It was pretty decent. There were lots of people there as well. That wagon ride was fun as well. Kinda makes you feel Fall is in the air. You dont go to these cider orchards anymore?! 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!
