Snowstorms Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It snowed at my friend's house in Edmonton, AB today. South of there in Calgary there's been some accumulation. It's not far now. 6 inches in Calgary to be exact. Its funny because it was 78F in Calgary yesterday and today its below freezing, lol. Significant temperature change within 24 hours. It's not unheard of in that region, but September snow is just horrendous for summer enthusiasts, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Surprised we haven't heard from SSC regarding the snowfall up his way. 0z NAM seems to holding steady in bringing some heavy rainfall along and north of I-80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hawkeye's getting smoked. Storms really dumping on CR the last half hour to hour. Yeah, some nice cells over here. The first few cells passed just a mile or two north of me(I live 2 miles due west of downtown CR), but the last one blew up and went right over me. I picked up a nice 0.62". There was no wind, but there may have been a few small pieces of hail, and it was nice to get some streaky lightning and big cracks of thunder. It has been a while.

Somewhere close to your location is gonna have some very impressive rainfall totals tonight. Those storms aren't going anywhere, as they continually redevelop over the same general area. LLJ is pointing into that area as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just north and east of CR continues to get trained by backbuilding storms. Except for the one nice cell a couple hours ago, it's all bypassing me.

hawkeye_wx Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The overnight MCS barely moved and it's still going this morning. The low level jet continues to feed the backside. I picked up one inch. Just west of me very little rain fell and just north and east of me 2-4 inches fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 strong verbiage out of DVN for an anomalous event....not disagreeing...just "cool" to see.... THE HARDEST QUESTION TODAY IS HOW LONG THE CURRENT MCS LASTS.TONIGHT IS A FLAT OUT GUARANTEED WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE EVENT. SINCEWE HAVE SEEN 1 TO 4 INCHES ALREADY OVERNIGHT...AND MORE MAY YETFALL...THERE IS DEFINITELY A THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING WITH THISWIDESPREAD EVENT TONIGHT. WPC IS FORECASTING A MODERATE RISK FOREXCESSIVE/FLASH FLOOD RAINS TONIGHT OVER OUR WESTERN 1/2...THUS AWATCH IS JUSTIFIED. SEVERE WEATHER MAY DECREASE AS IT APPROACHESOUR CWA BUT CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THE EVENT FORCING PEAKS BETWEEN03Z AND 12Z TONIGHT...AND 100 PERCENT POPS ARE BEING USED. AWIDESPREAD 1 TO 3 INCHES SEEMS LIKELY TONIGHT...ON TOP OF THE 1 TO4+ INCHES THAT HAS FALLEN SO FAR THIS CURRENT NIGHT.

hawkeye_wx Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 NWS shows 55F for a high temp fri...brrrr The 00z Euro slowed the Friday system down just a bit, keeping the 40s in nw Iowa and keeping more of eastern Iowa in the mid 50s to around 60 throughout the day. More importantly, it keeps some clouds and wind across this area overnight Friday night, which would prevent any flirtation with frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 1-2" of rain tonight with locally higher in the grids here tonight. High of 54 on Friday. Camping near International Falls this weekend. Down to 33 on Friday night. Saw a few snowflakes in the forecast a few days ago but those have been removed for that area. I don't need to see that in Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This is the storm total precipitation from the DMX radar tonight. Yellow is 3" and red is 5". Much of the 3-5" areas are under flash flood warnings. The KDVN radar estimated 5-7" for northeast of Iowa City in the last 2 days. Northwest Missouri got 5-7" of rain in just a few hours, where that HP supercell stalled the longest. (5 tornadoes reported in Missouri) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I knew the incoming cool spell was gonna be cool, but didn't realize how significant it was until checking the point forecast. DVN only has us reaching 55 on Friday with rain. That's pretty damn cold for this early in the season. Looks like it's gonna be hoodie weather for football this weekend.

DAFF Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 A whole lotta blue/purple happening there. Nothing like starting the fall season with a bang. Severe weather across the subforum Tuesday/Wednesday, followed by much below normals temps for several days after that. I'm planning on enjoying the next two days of beautiful late summer weather around these parts. EDIT: Yeah, I know that the Empire News article is satire. That's why I posted it here instead of the winter thread. I said that I lol'd all the way through it. Just for entertainment purposes. However, it kind of reminds me of the mindset of the general public who knows little about meteorology. As I remember didn't last winter start off with the same bang like scenario.... Tornados and severe weather followed by non stop snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
