Nov. 10-11th snow event thing


Chicago Storm
 Share

Recommended Posts

Looking at current temps in parts of IL/WI, it seems they are running at or even above the warmer guidance right now.  This could cancel out once it precipitates but may be a least a little cause for concern for cutting into amounts where marginal thermal profiles are progged to hang on longer, like around Chicago and into northwest IN.

Looks like precip is breaking out a rad earlier than expected as well

I wonder what the record is for consecutive number of days with atleast 1” of snow on the ground for places like Chicago in November. Could be 5 consecutive days this week if all goes well, have to imagine it’s hard to string together too many more than that this early in the season. 

The last 8 days of November 1950 had at least 1" of snow on the ground.  That is the longest streak in November.  I'd have to imagine there are very few occurrences of 5 days in the mid month timeframe.

Not calling bust for Chicago (especially at ORD since it's on the northwest fringe of the city), but it's one of those things where if it does come in on the lower side, we will be able to look back and say that there were some early clues.  Wild card of course is the lake effect and it could compensate for a warmer start.  I don't think I'd make significant changes to amounts if I were LOT.

Cooler drier air moving in quickly here. Already in the lower to mid 30s with dews in the 20s north of the city.

33F currently and rain/wet snow mix in Hamilton Ontario. The weather network is calling this a potentially historic snowstorm for the GTA. I think looking back that if this goes as the models predict this could be a nightmare scenario for the GTA. Talking to coworkers and friends/family and they have all said the same thing. Heard a bit of snow coming tomorrow, should probably put the winter tires on soon. They are assuming its a normal run of the mill 1-2" sloppy snow coming

yup. sounds wish washy to say the least. 

It takes a special airmass to get noteworthy accumulating snow in the core of the city (not ORD, not MDW) at this time of year while the flow is onshore.  In the halloween storm, precip didn't change to snow and start accumulating until the flow was offshore.  And it is a pretty good airmass... I mean, we are talking about record cold coming in right behind this.  There could eventually be some accumulations in the downtown area while the flow is still onshore but the better bet for more efficient accumulation is definitely as the flow turns more northerly and then west of north.  It will be much colder just upstream (I could see ORD being like 27 while downtown is 34) so even a subtle shift in winds will bring that colder air in pretty fast.

Temperature has dropped below freezing at YYZ. Should help allow the ground to cool for better accumulations when the storm arrives. 

Latest HRDPS sets up a pretty stout deformation band across the Niagara/Buffalo region. Could definitely see totals approaching 8-12" in this region.
