cyclone77 Posted Thursday at 03:55 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:55 AM Hopefully next weekend's system does something. This weekend's system is a non-event for most areas other than Wisconsin and Michigan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted Thursday at 02:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:13 PM Pretty (somewhat unexpected) active morning across the OKC Metro this morning with widespread severe t'storm warnings and even a couple tornado warnings. The last time this happened in January was 2021, which foreshadowed a very (for some folks, historic) cold/stormy pattern the following month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocATL Posted yesterday at 01:13 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:13 PM EPS and GEFS aren’t bad with temps. No arctic hammer. I mean that’s a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It varies by location, but generally the mid-January to early February is the coldest period of the year in this region (at Detroit, the coldest 2 weeks are January 18-31). So when you see ensemble maps with colder than avg temps during the coldest time of year - thats cold. Also, the colder than avg anomalies in already frigid places paired with the warmer than avg anomalies in already warm places mean a HUGE contrast in temps. This places our region in a great spot for potential. I mean, its just that, potential, but you definitely cant hate the look going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocATL Posted yesterday at 05:54 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:54 PM nothing worse than an east coast pattern when you're stuck with lake effect vaporware Helluva a look for the southeast as well. I mean it won’t be as wild as 7 inches in Pensacola while we basked in NW flow but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Hyper-local but the lake effect potential in NW Indiana looks real impressive Wednesday and Wednesday night. Michigan City to the IL/IN state line look like the early target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro had the nice 8-12" pounding 3-3-23. Saw SUV's stuck - something I never expected in Canton. Ahh yea I didn't recall that one since the east side had mixing. Was a nice storm for central/western metro. Still would be nice to have to fly home for a good storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
