    Well damn! A ton of lightning right now between I-88 and I-80 in Illinois... https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en

    Quite a bit of lightning right now around Springfield and Peoria, where the precipitation is filling in.

    A bit off-topic, but I have to imagine it's not often that we see a November where 2 major winter storms impact the US east of the rockies.
  4. Powerball
    Nice!

    Rockford looks to be reporting all snow, while DeKalb is reporting sleet.

    Not even the S**** fest of 2011?

    Is there a reason why the NWS has not yet implemented the same point-specific warning system they use for severe weather with winter weather headlines? For example, when a severe t'storm is poised to affect an area, instead of issuing a warning for the entire counry, an oddly shaped warning is issued only for the portion of a county will be impacted.

    One thing to watch out for in the Detroit area is how well/long does the upper level low remain closed off, and if it at least tracks over/south of the city. If it does remain closed off and the aforementioned track does happen, could see dynamic cooling flipping over the precip to snow much more quickly and producing a few surprise inches. 12z GFS/NAM/GGEM are all close to showing this outcome.

    GRR went with a WWA for only 3-5".

    This upcoming system looks interesting. It actually seems like it could be a hybrid of 12/11/00 and 12/1/06, IMO I was in town all week for the holiday, but will be leaving tonight. I will admit though, part of me will be jealous if a EURO-like solution happens.

    Yep. The main thing I remember was the intense snowfall rates and huge flake size once the dry slottibg finally passed. Picked up 3" in 1.5 hours.

    And not just any type of snow either, but rather 6"+ of cement, which is a b**ch to do anything in. Just ask the Deteoit Lions who had to play in it against the Philadelphia Eagles not too long ago.

    Now be nice! Snowless in Carrollton *IS* from Georgia (Carrollton is about a 20 minute drive from here). For a person that's used to the Sun Belt, it is unusual.

    Did I not warn you? Might as well get used to the constant overcast skies. I don't miss that *at all.* Welcome to the Great Lakes region, lol.

    Not sure about the other sites, but ATL's record was broken. It didn't fall below 60*F (with a low of 59*F) until 10/11. Also, ATL's first negative departure day since 8/25 was 10/12, with a departure of -2*C.
  16. Powerball
    So officially, reports coming in show anywhere between 5-6" of rain from Michael here.
  17. Powerball
    Impressively, radar estimates shows a widespread 3-5"+ of rain across Metro Atlanta, with the highest amounts along / NW of I-85. There may not have been tropical storm winds, but the precipitation amounts certainly overachieved.

    That guy (Reynolds Wolf) stays job hopping. He was on CNN before TWC, and I remember when he was in Detroit back in the late 90s / early 2000s on WDIV.

    I'm out of town right now, so it's going to be crazy to know I Ieft with partly cloudy skies on Monday and will return with partly cloudy skies on Friday given this is coming through in between, although the worst still looks to past just to the SE.
  20. Powerball
    It might have bern Irma.
  21. Powerball
    Well that escalated quickly... Was it Maria that had also undergone rapid intensification last year before it slammed Georgia?
  22. Powerball
    HA! So the record high at ATL today was 90*F. And of course, after 4 90*F+ days in a row, we fall 1 degree shy of the record with a high of 89*F.
  23. Powerball
    ATL made it to 93*F today.
  24. Powerball
    ATL achieved a high of 92*F today, while the record high was 95*F.

    And the 12z GGEM has joined the club.
