Powerball Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 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...

michsnowfreak Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 1 hour ago, DocATL said: EPS and GEFS aren’t bad with temps. No arctic hammer. I mean that’s a win. 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 January 9 Share Posted January 9 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 January 10 Share Posted January 10 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocATL Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Worst pattern change to cold ever It’s not very cold at least. That northwest flow hellscape from last year was awful. MJO and strengthening PV hopefully save us from that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
