jaster220 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 GRR with a rare late evening updated AFD Quote .UPDATE... Issued at 943 PM EDT Wed Oct 20 2021 Focus this evening remains on the threat of thunderstorms. Storms continue over Lake Michigan as of 915pm in a zone of moisture convergence. These storms earlier in the evening produced hail on the order pea to even up to nickel size over Southeast Wisconsin. The cold front remains well up stream near the Mississippi River at 01z. The front will make steady progress and move into our area overnight, exiting eastern portions of our forecast area Thursday morning. Thunderstorms are expected to continue tonight and are currently being aided by a relatively warm lake. This is the time of year that storms actually get a boost over Lake Michigan. Another factor is a healthy upper low moving our direction from the plains states which is adding synoptic scale lift to the equation. MUCAPE values are expected to continue to rise tonight as better moisture works our direction on southerly winds ahead of the front, possibly exceeding 1,000 J/KG for a few hours as shown by the RAP. This level of instability is not extreme, but quite high for a late October night. Bottom line, expect scattered showers and storms to continue through 11pm. Storms will become more numerous between 11pm and 5am as the front and upper low approach from the west. SPC HREF guidance supports this thinking when looking at the 4hr max reflectivity prog. We are not expecting severe weather, but lightning/thunder is expected along with the threat of some small hail, generally a half inch in diameter and less. Brief heavy rain is possible as well, with PWATs increasing to 1.25 inches. && 3 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...
jaster220 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Finally I see a mention of the strange situation Quote Colder air builds in as the rain exits the area Thursday. This weekend should be the coolest of the next 7-10 days with highs Friday into Monday maxing out around 50 degrees. Could see the elusive first frost for some of the area this weekend- though clouds could keep temperatures just above freezing. Widespread hard freeze of 28 degrees or colder still not looking likely before November. Some moderation of temperatures through next week, but cooler than what we have experienced these past few days. 3 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...

Not only that, but how could you not like how these systems are flowing off the Pacific and raging into Cali and literally tracking cross country. Recall in years past, some that are being used as analogs, I vividly remember these PAC systems would rage into the west but then cut northeast which then pumped the ridge and torched us. Not this year. It really does look promising that we will have sufficient blocking across Canada. Finally, the models are all picking up on a monster trough in the east to close out the month. Took a little while but its all coming together nicely. Halloween Monster in the works for the Eastern Sub??? Might as well finish off this month with a big bang just like it started. Rock it out Mother nature! I'll finish with this post as it is one of my go-to LR forecasting models....10mb/30mb strat warming event on going setting up what will be a wild open to November.

Love the cooling trend on the models, the teleconnections seem to be headed more in our favor also. The MJO is on the move towards phase 1 as we enter Nov. The PNA looks to stay positive for awhile. The WPO which has been sky high looks to relax. This plus the Hudson Bay block you showed say the cooling trend is legit. Hopefully it will trend cooler yet and some up north will pick up some snow before the end of the month. If modeling is correct we will finish Oct with 7 closed off storms, compared to 3 we had last Oct. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Here is Grand Rapids area we had a nice thunderstorm overnight that dropped 0.45" here at my house and the official amount at GRR looks to have been 0.46" The overnight low here at my house was 56 and the official low so far at GRR looks to have been 58. At this time with partly cloudy skies it is 57 here at my house. So far this fall season the coldest official low at GRR has been just 40. The average date for the first low of 39 or lower is September 24th the latest date for a sub 40° low is October 25, 2017 This year will be at least the 2nd latest for that to happen in GRR recorded history.

Niko Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 NOAA: Here we go: Saturday night will have the best potential at seeing widespread frost across southeast Michigan as the closed low begins to break down and shift off to the east as low pressure strengthens in the central Plains. In between across the central Great Lakes, weak surface ridging looks to briefly take hold and may allow for clouds to briefly scour out Saturday night, and along with near calm winds, low temperatures should easily be able to fall into the mid 30s, with low 30s in the colder spots in play. End of the growing season for southeast Michigan is typically around this time of year, and Saturday night may just provide the setup to end the growing season regardless. 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!

jaster220 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Pretty strong wording for a rainer. Quote Timing the onset of precipitation in these situations where strongly opposing factors are in play is sometimes difficult for the models. The time range of uncertainty in this case, as it stands now, involves the I-96 corridor southward around the Monday morning commute.

Most I've heard in a long time. good sign of a dynamic system Vivid lightning mostly w light to moderate rainfall, but yes, thunder was limited here, if any. It was definitely a dynamic system though. 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!
