CoastalWx Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago 10 hours ago, dendrite said: There’s an inverted trough that swings through there N to S. The mesos initially push a convective band (horizontal to the flow) southwestward through the city and then behind that it aligns into a typical LES streamer where it slowly shifts east from the city to IN. But I agree with Scoot. I think the heaviest is more east toward the IN/IL border. But it should be pretty cold on the west side of the LES with NW sfc flow. Still having trouble seeing their forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowedin Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Tropical downpours coming down good right now. Now I know why there’s been so many frogs hopping around this evening! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago So yeah…that’s your inverted trough moving through right now. The LES band is setting up in its wake and will move eastward with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Here’s the 500mb vortmax that is inducing the inverted trough. You can see the “kinks” in the isobars it’s causing (the actual trough) as the PVA induces pressure falls. It’s the same type of way we get our inverted troughs. But it’s perfectly situated so that it moves southward over Lake Michigan. The extra instability from the warm lake waters is making this locally heavier than it would’ve been otherwise. And yeah, then the low level flow aligns along the long length of the lake and we get the LES streamer behind it for a short time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a 12” report near IL/IN border well south but nothing impressive by the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is missing a lot - I wouldn't use it. Shuttle Meadow Res in Southington is a decent proxy I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
