Geos Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Latest 12z GFS showing possible flurries in the air on Halloween for N IL/S WI. Wind off the lake may compromise getting down to freezing Friday night along the lakeshore. Looks like the wind will be due north on Friday, so more of an issue further south along the lake shore. Forecasted low is 27° for my location Halloween night. 1 Quote Mercer Island, 350 ft 2021-2022: 11.6", 02/21 2020-2021: 15.6" 2019-2020: ~10" 2018-2019 winter snowfall total: 29.5" 2017-2018: 9.0", 2016-2017: 14.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 NWS Hastings says no moisture and primarily above normal temps ( with a couple of below days) through Nov. 11. That will be all of October and the first 1/2 of November with very little rain. The models always look promising, then nothing happens. It sure has the makings of last winter when we were missed by most snow. Need things to change markedly. Please Tom, any good news down the road. Nebraskans on the board are getting depressed.

Nebraskans on the board are getting depressed.I wouldn't sweat it just yet bud, there is way too much going on in the atmosphere right now to even determine if NE gets missed out by storm systems this winter. Just to give you some hope, when I took a look at the 12z 27th run on the Euro ensembles and compared it to today's 12z run...this is an ominous signal for some cross country storm systems to traverse the region Day 10-15. The recent ensemble run has dissipated any central CONUS ridge BUT, more importantly, check out the blocking over the top, Bearing Sea trough, almost a classic coast to coast stormy pattern. Lets see how this evolves over the next couple days. This is certainly a cold signal down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think temps may back off even more, might not get out of the upper 30's on Friday. Lake Michigan will certainly be roaring with huge white caps.

Tom Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 They keep lowering temps here for the weekend. Now low 40s for highs and low 20s for lows. Trough is coming more west.This is typical for cold air outbreaks that have a source region directly from the arctic. I bet you don't get out of the 30's Friday! The GFS especially is notorious for swinging the energy farther east then corrects westward. This happened 2 weeks ago and it is happening again. What is even more interesting is the models take on the 12z run come mid next week. I think there will be some snow flying in your area or thereabouts. The trough will correct farther west and a hybrid Clipper may develop late next week. The 12z Euro run yesterday was hinting at it and now the 12z GFS is showing something similar. Fun times ahead! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 For anyone Trick o' treating on Halloween it's going to be cold and wet - possible white depending where you're at. Saw this on Amwx. 10pm CST. Imagine Chicago getting a LES snowstorm! I'd be concerned with power outages near the lake from winds alone on Friday. Minus the snow factor. 1 Quote Mercer Island, 350 ft 2021-2022: 11.6", 02/21 2020-2021: 15.6" 2019-2020: ~10" 2018-2019 winter snowfall total: 29.5" 2017-2018: 9.0", 2016-2017: 14.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remaining leaves on the trees will surely be ripped off by the strong winds be predicted. Does it seem like the leaves are coming down earlier than in recent years??? Yes they are coming off a bit earlier. Most autumns in the past were milder than this one. For my yard, I think 90% of the trees will be bare by Saturday morning. I remember Halloween's where half the trees still had their leaves - not this year LOT on the LES potential. T APPEARS MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BEFAVORED ACROSS AREAS NEAR THE LAKE ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING.HOWEVER...AS THE MAIN UPPER IMPULSE MOVES OVER THE AREA THURSDAYNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY...IT COULD DRIVE A SHORT PERIOD OF SHOWERSACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...DRIER AIR AND LARGE SCALE FORCINGFOR DECENT SHOULD OVERSPREAD MOST INLAND AREAS ACROSS NORTHERNILLINOIS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...LIKELY ENDING THE THREAT OF PRECIP.HOWEVER...AREAS NEAR THE LAKE IN FAR NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS AND MYNORTHWESTERN INDIANA COUNTIES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCEPRECIPITATION FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING AS THERMODYNAMICSOVER LAKE MICHIGAN WILL BECOME VERY FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECTPRECIPITATION THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELSLOOK TO EXCEED 16,000 FEET WITH LAKE SURFACE TEMPERATURE TO 850 MBTEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES OF 18-19 DEGREES C. THE OVERALL DEPTH OFTHIS LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY COULD ALSO ALLOW FOR SOME CHARGESEPARATION SUPPORTING THUNDER AND LIGHTENING ACROSS SOUTHERNPORTIONS OF THE LAKE AND POSSIBLY INTO NORTHWESTERN INDIANA FRIDAY.SO I HAVE INCLUDED A MENTION OF SUCH IN THE FORECAST. THE MAIN QUESTION WITH THIS EVENT REMAINS AS TO WHEN THE PRECIP TYPECOULD MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SNOW. IT APPEARS THAT WITH 850 MBTEMPERATURES AROUND -8 DEGREES C...THAT A TRANSITION OVER TO LAKEEFFECT SNOW SHOWERS APPEARS TO BE A DECENT BET BY LATE FRIDAYAFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. HOWEVER...DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FORCONVECTIVELY DRIVEN HEAVY SHOWERS OVER THE LAKE...DYNAMIC COOLINGCOULD BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO RESULT IN AN EARLY TRANSITION TO SNOWOVER NORTHWESTERN INDIANA. WITH THIS IN MIND CONFIDENCE ON TIMING OFANY TRANSITION TO SNOW ON FRIDAY IS LOW...THOUGH THERE IS THEPOTENTIAL FOR SOME HEAVIER RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS WHICH COULD RESULT INSOME ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWESTERN INDIAN IN SPITEOF WARM GROUND TEMPS. THE STRONG WINDS COULD ALSO ALLOW THESESHOWERS TO GET WELL INLAND ACROSS NORTHWESTERN INDIANA.

Tom Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 High rez models showing a more NE/SW orientation banding setting up off the lake Friday night. LES is normally a nowcast type of event anyway so it will be interesting to see how far inland on this side of the lake these bands can form. The global models are keeping more due north/south. I think parts of COOK/LAKE county may get some sticking snow. HRRR model showing snow showers near MKE around 6:00am Friday morning...notice the orientation of the bands setting up in Lake Superior. Could be similar to what we see in NE IL/SE WI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main band will likely stay over southern Lake Michigan though due to Northerly winds. Take a look at the instability over the lake though! With lake temps in the lower 50's plenty of moisture and instability over the Lake. High-res models also winds to shift more Northeasterly tomorrow evening leading to the lake effect band over Indiana to become more transient. Inversion heights will begin to drop so therefore the band will likely lose some of its muster as it goes westward. We still may have some light snow overnight though. Fun day ahead in general tomorrow! 50-55 mph wind gusts, 20-25 ft waves, and Lake effect. Very reminiscent of the effects Hurricane Sandy had over here two years ago today other than the lake effect snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Trick O' Treat??? I think its a Treat that Mother Nature brought us some sticking snow! It's official and ORD picked up its first measurable snow of the season. Actually, its a record! Never happened before on Halloween. I didn't wake up early enough to see the snow falling but I'm sure later this afternoon/night it will. Check out the banding expected to develop later this afternoon! It doesn't leave NE IL and extreme SE WI. Man, this could be a pretty decent event. I think this lake plume can develop into something pretty intense. LOT may have to adjust their DISCO for Lake/Cook counties. These winds are howling out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
