turtlehurricane Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I was hoping that since it cleared the auroras would make an appearance with the arrival of the CME, but the KP index has stayed below 5 so far. Wisconsin did get some: http://spaceweather...._1322581100.jpg I guess we gotta wait for the next CME, and hope the weather is just as nice. In other news, Thursday evening is looking good for snow. Technically MSN has 1.6" on the year already, but there's been no accumulation in my part of downtown, not even a dusting. So this could be our first accumulation. THE 500MB TROUGH WILL BREAK INTO TWO PARTS...WITH A CLOSED LOW OVERTHE FOUR CORNERS REGION AND A TROUGH PROGRESSIVELY MOVING ACROSSTHE GREAT LAKES REGION. THE 850MB BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL SLOWLY SLIPSOUTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN WI THU NIGHT...SPREADING CHANCES FORPRECIP ACROSS ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA. MODEL SNDGS SHOW TEMPPROFILE FAVORABLE FOR SNOW. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WOULD BE LIGHT...RANGING FROM A TRACE TO HALF AN INCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that snow might not even stick; the one saving grace is it should be overnight, and, with temps in the mid to upper 20s, ground temps should be cold enough for it to stick.

cyclone77 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Was windy and cold all day, but the sun was out for most of it. Still only managed 40. Looks like we're rolling on into December without any measurable snow for the season. IIRC our first measurable snow last season was on Dec 3 when we picked up 10.5" from the "super clipper".

Hoosier Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Up to 39 here. Wouldn't have been surprised with a small rise in temps when precip stopped but I'm not sure what explains this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Following the trend established in Sept and Oct, November was extraordinarily dry going into the middle portion of the month. When all is said and done, could be looking at the third straight month with >4" of precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Down to 37 here, with sustained winds around 20-23 mph, it's pretty raw out there. Tonight, low of 25, winds 20-30 mph brrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Up to 39 here. Wouldn't have been surprised with a small rise in temps when precip stopped but I'm not sure what explains this. It's probably Lake Michigan based on the wind direction and the temps upstream of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an uncanny otter Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 With the 80.6 mm of rain that fell at Windsor, ON today, the city now has a November precipitation of 184.2 mm (7.3"), making November the second-wettest month of the year. Windsor's precipitation-to-date now stands at 1472.4 mm (58.4") which is 160% of normal. As there is still over a month left of this year, it looks like the previous record of 1228 mm (48.7") set in 1990 will be left in the dust. Fun fact: This is approximately the same amount of precipitation Miami receives every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 How bout this for a stat from Ryan Maue.. "Out of the 3710 forecasts made since October 2006, GFS just uncorked its worst 5-day score verifying at 00z November 30, 2011." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It's probably Lake Michigan based on the wind direction and the temps upstream of you. I thought that too but considering the distance from the lake I figured it wasn't likely. I find it hard to believe that the marine airmass would cause that kind of jump here but I can't come up with another explanation so maybe.

This may sound unscientific, but I flew over Lake Michigan in a plane last week and it was like a small ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 LAF up to 3.66" of rainfall for November now. Using the WL COOP for reference (data since 1901), if the models are right with this next system in which some have 2.00"+, it could be a top 5-ish wet November. 1) 8.71" - 1985 2) 6.89" - 1992 3) 6.56" - 1927 4) 5.41" - 1921 5) 5.23" - 2007 6) 5.07" - 1966 7) 4.88" - 1934 8) 4.79" - 1935 9) 4.78" - 1942 10) 4.71" - 1968 5.61" at LAF through yesterday. Of course I can't slot this one in on the above list, considering it's two different sites though both in WL...but it's probably safe to say this was a historically wet (top 5/10) November in the Lafayette area.

michsnowfreak Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 mby finished November with 6.94" of precip! 2011 through Nov 30th is at an astounding 52.71" on the year (incl 60.8" of snow), still have December to go! Detroit officially finished November with 6.00", making it the wettest November on record! Also they sit at 44.91" precip on the year (incl 60.4" of snow), which is good for 3rd wettest year on record but basically #2 is a near sure bet and we very likely may wind up with the wettest year on record! Records date to 1870. And fwiw #1 and #2? Set in 1880 and 1881, respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Dropped to 17F. Coldest morning yet. Thick frost on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 We are going to end up with 6.73" for November and 4.6" of snow (all fell yesterday except a T on the 10th). This is not as impressive as some areas, but substantial. The yearly precip now stands at 46.83" with another month to go. This is 5" greater than the yearly amounts in the last 5 years (41.82" in '07). The yearly total was of course aided by the 10.17" in May. This MBY data is not important in the grand scheme, but is indicative of the anomalous year we've had precipitation-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed that right after Cutler got hurt. I actually think the Bears will be okay with Hanie. Back on topic, it looks like we might hit the teens for the first time to start met winter tonight.

Snow cover still somewhat intact here, so we'll see if it has any contribution to overnight temps. Oh and congrats on the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
