Yep, 18z NAM(s) have snow up to west burbs by Wed evening. That came outta nowhere

Best of luck bud. Euro track looks like perfection ORD to DTW smack-down later in winter. Patience to all..

Continue to parse the data. Bottom line, the lake is not your friend w/early events

Wave 1 only? 2-wave combo on TT is much more. Map includes sleet tho fwiw. I like the bombing low portrayed but still amounts to non-accum's here. Just a couple weeks early for this area to go big.

Per the BSR, beastly stuff looms down the road a bit.

"Yeah lol, that CMC run gives me like 5 inches" Fighting climo here so it's hard to get too excited. IF the system ends up east, we still fight the warmth shadow of the GLs wrt thermals as seen in the 0z GEM run. It's almost a no win situation this time of year save for the rarity of a N-S mega trough we had with the 11-2/3-1966 storm. Been a couple early birds during Oct (10-19-89 and 10-26-97) that somehow managed to beat climo but the odds are really long. 27/6z GEFS illustrates this well. Look at that GLs shadow around the Mitt!

As of last evening's data, Calhoun and Jackson Cnty's led the qpf charge for GRR's CWA. Ceresco is a tiny village about 5 miles west of here. Meanwhile, gusts overnight have topped 40-50 mph. Baro dropped to 993.5mb here about 02:30 PRELIMINARY LOCAL STORM REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI 822 PM EDT SAT OCT 26 2019 ..TIME... ...EVENT... ...CITY LOCATION... ...LAT.LON... ..DATE... ....MAG.... ..COUNTY LOCATION..ST.. ...SOURCE.... ..REMARKS.. 0700 PM HEAVY RAIN 6 SW CERESCO 42.22N 85.15W 10/26/2019 M1.05 INCH CALHOUN MI CO-OP OBSERVER CO-OP OBSERVER STATION CERM4 6.9 S BATTLE CREEK. 0808 PM HEAVY RAIN 3 ENE SANDSTONE 42.27N 84.47W 10/26/2019 M0.93 INCH JACKSON MI ASOS ASOS STATION KJXN JACKSON COUNTY-REYNOLDS FIELD AIRPORT. 0755 PM HEAVY RAIN 2 SSE MARSHALL 42.23N 84.95W 10/26/2019 M0.92 INCH CALHOUN MI AWOS AWOS STATION KRMY MARSHALL BROOKS FIELD.

I love RN>>SN thumpers and I'm feeling pretty good that we will have a legit shot.

/\ OUCH!

UKMET took same path (roughly) as today's storm. While I'd love that personally, it's bucking the current trends..

Sandy's track wasn't as far west, but similar effects got into Chicagoland iirc

@ Hoosier Bingo! The September 25, 1941 Wind Storm – This was actually the remnants of a Hurricane that had made landfall on the Texas Gulf Coast on the 23rd. The storm raced into the Great Lakes region and merged with a cold front, leading to an intense wind storm. Wind gusts up to 75 MPH hammered southeast Michigan for several hours and led to extensive damages. This is the only record of the remnants of a hurricane moving into Michigan and actually producing hurricane force winds.

This whole system reminds me of a warm version of Dec 15, 1987. Track seems similar, peaking out about the same region. IF only twas winter..sigh

FUN pattern! What a cure for the wx boredom that was summer around here..

Something like this happened back in the 50's. Brought hurricane gusts to downtown Detroit it raced north so fast. Blew windows out of buildings and such. #crazystuff

I'm sure peeps thought the same after 77-78. Then we got 81-82 just four years later. Can't rule anything out tbh.

Potentially deeper, but less snow at our lat

Yep, noted the same thing. Cold morning just proceeding the incoming wave. Don't see that every day around these parts.

Was that the 24/12z ICON that showed those gusts at 850?

"There is an 850 mb max upwards of 75 kts in lower MI at 192 hours, most of which would probably mix down given the situation with a rapidly bombing low. There is quick deepening and then there is what we are seeing on models like the Euro (and ICON), which is on a different level." Per Hoosier's read on the winds at 850 mixing down in SWMI. I'm too far inland to score much snow as it stands now, so mainly just the winds. 11-17-13 was the snow-less version and the whole town went dark.

Power grid looks to be a disaster. NOT excited about backside flurries and multi-day power outage scenario - pass!

Lots to sort out, but I appreciate the historical comparison/context. As noted, the latitude of the CSB may never be equaled. I mean, lots of storms hit 950mb way up in the Bering Sea for instance. But down where people live?, nasso much. GRR notes 3 systems on tap in their pm AFD including possible winter impacts from next week's. If this is the winter trend, that's gonna be one heck of a busy office.

23/12z GFS @ 500mb = eye-popping loop for next week's system.

10-26-97 delivered a hvy 8" in Kzoo. Tree damage was extensive! This one has low party @ A-L-E-K's place written all over it, so main concern on this side of the lake looks to be more wind and wave damage. NOT a good time to be a WMI lakeshore property owner.

Yep. 1st flake icon of the new season in my grid
