The sun made an appearance yesterday which is welcome any time during the late fall early winter. We had a high temp of 51° then the wind picked up and the temps dropped to 31°. Our liquid precip is at 1.7 inches (rain and melted snow), and snowfall is at 3.7 inches.
Wind chills will be in the teens this morning with winds still a little gusty and air temperatures in the 20s to 30s. Winds should continue to weaken through this morning with highs in the 30s this afternoon. Lake effect clouds will linger for much of today before dispersing this evening. Snow chances are around 20%,
A strong cold front brought peak wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph on Sunday evening along with scattered power outages.
Forecast Discussion
- Quiet Weather Returns Today Through Wednesday - Upper level ridging will move into the region starting today leading to quiet and dry weather through the start of the work week. Surface flow will turn southerly by Tuesday afternoon leading to a warming trend through Wednesday. Early morning wind chills will be in the teens today with high temperatures warming into the 30s this afternoon, 40s for Tuesday, and up to near 50 by Wednesday. In addition to warming temps, our lake effect snow and cloud cover should diminish as delta T`s drop thanks to warm advection. - More Active Weather Around Thanksgiving - Our next system of note looks to approach the area around Wednesday night then moves through the Great Lakes on Thanksgiving Day. Our prolonged southerly flow will keep precipitation of the liquid variety Wednesday evening before we see a transition over to snow later in the day on Thursday as flow turns northwesterly. Some light snow/slush accumulations will be possible, mainly in the afternoon and evening after the precip transition occurs and temperatures drop. Accumulations are not expected to be substantial, but some travel impacts should be considered given the holiday. Light lake effect snow is then expected to last Thursday night into Friday. Winds will also turn gusty as this system approaches and the pressure gradient between a high over the eastern seaboard is pressed by the surface trough to our west. Ensembles suggest gusty winds will ramp up Wednesday afternoon with gusts up to 40 MPH possible into Thursday evening. The highest gusts will be along the lakeshore. - End of the Week Outlook - Model disparity increases as we head into the end of the week, but there seems to be consensus on an upper trough moving through the region. Lake effect precipitation looks possible this weekend, with overall details still muddled in model disagreement.
Lows in the 20’s most of this week! Incredible November cold!
27* degrees outside in my area coldd feels like December in November who knew??? InDY
Another wind event and another power outage last night. All the dead trees along the roads around here continue to fall on the power lines every time we get some strong gusts. Last night it was 200 yards down the road. Big tree fell on the lines and was sparking and burning as it lay on the power lines. The main trunk of the tree was glowing orange from the electricity flowing through it. Blew out power for several hundred houses around us. In other news, nice to see our below average snow trend continue. Each day the snow deficit… Read more »
Our lights blinked on and off about 4 times. The power outage was right near us. It was so nice to see the sunshine today even though it seemed much colder than yesterday.
Nothing like wind chills in the teens in November! Keep it coming!
Yes loving this below average November hard for some to take in its just the start …InDY
Just booked my little mid Winter break 4 days 3 nights in Boyne Mountain January should be a cold and snowy one can’t wait ..Indy
Sounds simply fantastic! Rock n roll will never die!
Here at my house there was a period of pea sized hail with the cold front last evening. Not much in the way of rain fall thought as just 0.02″ of rain with the front. The overnight low here was 29 and that is the current temperature with broken clouds.
