  1. high latitude blocking to start the new year
  2. And then I had to drive 100 miles to go to my family Christmas party! (Not at 6:00AM though.) The end of December precipitation is like a month worth of precipitation. There were lakes in fields on my trip yesterday. Up to 3.32" (not shown) in two spots in NW Ohio over this time frame.
  3. my place just got the warm front fog.
  4. unknown precipitation? must be sleet. You're right. With colder air we would say that this low pressure position would bring a nasty snowstorm in Michigan and the Chicago area. The 850mb temps aren't close, though, really, as you would want a zone of -6C to -10C for the deformation zone and some -4C values for guaranteed snow. I would say that if things were 9degrees C cooler, we'd still manage to get rain right at Toledo, or possibly freezing rain.
  5. yesterday's storm reports list now has a lot more tornadoes and wind reports than I saw yesterday
  6. This storm didn't hit the city. I don't know if it was a tornado
  7. this was apparently by Will (TornadoTRX) in Mississippi earlier (Bude area?)
  8. this looks like a lot of discrete storms, possibly with tornadoes
  9. tomorrow should be a bigger tornado risk. The convection allowing models are showing a lot of discrete storms, in some cases.
  10. the north storm near Hardin has a PDS tornado warning
  11. not a lot happening in TX, but still getting further discussion from SPC
  12. SPC has put up a 10% (enhanced) level of threat for tornadoes north Houston. It is mid-winter, so I don't know if this level of risk will work out.
  13. chance for tornadoes tomorrow, including Houston, Shreveport
  14. Wow. So hard to break cold records these days. they must have hit -21 at 5:24 AM while the normal hourly values were both -13?
  15. all new NWS summary of the 2004 snowstorm, exactly 20 years ago https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ea9219fb012f426caedf479768adc2e2
  16. This stuff is always amazing, that is, with the very different air masses in the winter. The 850mb temperture is -22C at Burlington VT and +15C at Goodland KS
