Powerhouse Storm develops in the Gulf of Alaska. Late season heatwave overtakes the Midwest due to the remnants of a tropical storm over the Southeastern portions of the United states. This brings compressional warming into the midwest. We have a hurricane expected to become a major hurricane category 3 by the mid portions of next week. This hurricane may impact the coastal areas of the Eastern portions of the United States as early as Thursday October 2nd. What watches are in effect across the desert southwest. And a blast of heat may impact Israel a week from Sunday and the day before succos. This episode includes the forecast for the holiday of Succos, for Chicago and other nearby areas for the first several days. It's a general outlook.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

Summer heat overtakes the Midwest despite the fact that it's October. This wave of heat will last several days and will be followed by a cooler area of high pressure. Following the high pressure will be a return to another summer heat wave for much of the Midwest, but some of the Midwest may be right along the front seeing well above normal temperatures but not quite a heatwave. Either way rain will be limited during this holiday of succos, but there is a chance for rain Monday night and again Thursday night with minimal impacts. Temperature should remain within room temperature throughout most of the holiday but briefly dropping into the middle 50s for a couple nights in the mid part of the week. If temperatures do exceed 86° during the holiday it would occur towards the end. Until then - 86° heat or higher could be expected until the holiday starts.. this episode covers the most recent Midwest heatwave and covers some of the cities which received temperatures in the 90s for three consecutive days. Some say that this heat is connected to a marine Heat Wave taking place in the North Pacific.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

Arctic Front and First Snowfall The Chicago area is under a Winter Storm Watch for late Sunday night into Monday due to an Arctic front and lake-effect snow potential. Rain is expected Saturday evening, transitioning to snow overnight, with the heaviest snow likely from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday. (Or 10am).  Temperatures will drop sharply, with highs in the 30s Sunday and Monday, and wind chills in the teens Monday morning. Snowfall Amounts Official forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS) indicate 2–8 inches for Cook County, but localized totals could be higher (possibly double-digit amounts where intense bands set up). Some models suggest up to 15 inches in certain spots, though placement is uncertain. Snowfall rates of 2–3 inches per hour are possible in the most intense bands.  Lake Michigan Water Temperature Lake Michigan surface water temperatures in early November typically range 45–52°F. But currently they are in low to mid 50s which is warm for this time of year. Lake-Effect Snow Dynamics Strong temperature contrasts between the lake and the 850 mb level (around 5,000 ft) are necessary for Lake-effect snow. It requires a difference of roughly 23°F or more.  Northeast winds usually occur at the start of a storm for Chicago. This creates  enhanced lake-effect snow for Chicago. However for winds to be off the lake as a storm departs and Arctic air arrives is uncommon for Chicago. This is what causes lake effect snow. It's also uncommon for this to happen in November due to warm Lake changing precipitation to rain. Buffalo 2022 Comparison The Buffalo storm in November 2022 produced over 80 inches of snow in some areas, with snowfall rates up to 6 inches per hour and thundersnow. Comparing this event to that event is reasonable in terms of dynamics, though Chicago’s totals will be far lower. Timing: Heaviest snow expected overnight Sunday into Monday morning, tapering by late morning Monday. Wind Gusts: Up to 35 mph, causing blowing snow and reduced visibility. Chicago: 8.6-9.8 inches Cicero: 9.8 inches Oak Lawn: 5.4 inches Harvey: 6.4 inches Tinley Park: 5.8 inches Oswego: 0.3 inches Plainfield: 0.8 inches Wheaton: 1.5 inches Schaumburg: 1.8 inches Palatine:1.9 inches Evanston 8.2 These totals are for 12 hour period from 10 pm Sunday night 11/9 to 10am Monday 11/10/25. They assume a 10 to 1 snow to water ratio and follows the High resolution rapid refresh model as advertised on Windy.com I used this computer model because it is high resolution which is essential for lake effect snow and seems to be better than the NAM model regarding lake effect snow events from. What I've seen. It should be noted that while at times the snow to water ratio will be 10 to 1 due to warm Lake, but lake effect often takes on a powdery snow. Should snow to water ratio be double, then amounts could potentially be double whatever listed here in some spots.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

Will also watching one to two more significant winter storms moving across the country which also have a chance of impacting Chicago. Both systems have enormous potential. Currently system number one is favoring places well to our South such as Tennessee into North carolina. Stay tuned for for the weather updates.

12-18-23: Weather system on the way for the Midwest, an absolute nothing compared to what's going to be happening later on this week. We're going to skip just to what's happening later on in the week. Two phenomenal weathermakers. Number one, a true powerhouse low pressure system developing. It's a Panhandle hook, a genuine the real thing, a true Panhandle hook. It's a low pressure system. It actually makes a hook. It takes that track, and it moves up into the Great Lakes colliding with copious amounts of Gulf moisture as the Panhandle hooks do. In the barometric pressure, reaching numbers that are, it's difficult to say without a racing heart for weather enthusiasts, the excitement is just so enormous. It's we're numbers which have dropped under 29.0 29.2 is the threshold of forecasting afoot. Some even say 29.3 We're already down 28.9 28.8 28.7. The computer models or European model, the most accurate model is taking this thing, the Great Lakes The thing is exploding, that it's explosive. And we're gonna read later on from the National Weather Service rate straight from the forecast discussion, nothing could say better than the way they wrote up the forecast discussion today. At the same time, we have another explosive airmass the exact opposite an area of high pressure coming out of Siberia coming straight into the US from into Montana 31.3 Approximately really strong high pressure, it's going to bring bitterly cold temperatures and one could just imagine the wind tunnel that's going to be produced in between these two systems. And that's where it's going to be snowing as well. Heavy snow which can be expected to form on the backside of the storm system of course, but you have just that in itself you would be dealing with a solid window 15 to 25 mile Barwon. But we have close to a record breaking high pressure airmass coming in from behind so we're talking about much stronger than normal, not just the normal 15 to 25 mile per hour wind. The European computer model is showing damaging wind gusts here in the Chicago area. This is the type of stuff that have been going on in the plains usually goes on in the plains and is confined to the plains doesn't usually go on here in the Chicago area. It has happened here in Chicago before. It's not an annual occurrence, but it's expected to happen this week and there's high confidence in this high impactful event. For those people that love snowstorms and love blizzard. This is really an ideal situation especially it's taking place over the holiday weekend. This is szabist conica. This shop is Friday afternoon. The wind speeds especially Friday and Friday night are just amazing. You look at the temperatures the temperatures don't look amazing to me. They don't look amazingly cold but the National Weather Service is talking about wind chill advisory criteria with windshields of 20 to 30 below zero. Now I thought that was windshield warning criteria. But they then say they might be issuing windshield warnings for windshields going beyond 30 below zero. You know you go into Nebraska you see very impressive cold in the Nebraska area. Nothing record breaking here in the Chicago area. From what I see. The forecast discussion from the National Weather Service doesn't exactly match up to what the actual forecasts are calling for. But those people that love snow should definitely be simpler this week. We have to say system coming in a minor system which might end actually as freezing drizzle for Monday night and Tuesday, or drizzle. And then we have the real system coming in might start late Wednesday night, but Friday is when the blizzard hits. There could very well be every single city, it's possible every city in the Midwest will get hit with some type of accumulating snow, when all is said and done at least an inch, something like that maybe just to happen in some of these cities, Cincinnati, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri. Many, many cities, whereas the East Coast cities might be missing this. It looks like an all rain event for many of the East Coast cities. One would ordinarily expect a low pressure system, the 28th to be developing on the East Coast. Not something to be forming here in the Midwest, but we have it here in the Midwest. That's what's expected to happen. And the confidence is increasing. This is only five days away right now. We are a mere five days away. The origines of the system right now are is hanging out over in the Alaska area. A lot could certainly change but it is a mere five days away.The first blizzard in 42 years is a possibility in the St. Louis area. This upcoming week, guidance has changed significantly over the past 24 hours and in our peers like the main moisture, the main precipitation over in the St. Louis area will be falling after will be falling behind the low pressure system instead of ahead. This will create a high snow to water ratio, greatly increasing the amount of snowfall accumulation. Oh my gosh. More significantly. The wind forecast is just unbelievable. This goes for oh, by the way for all the Midwest cities. This includes St. Louis. I would imagine many more cities, the cities that I looked into or Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati and St. Louis. All of those cities have very intense wind speeds. For example, Cincinnati might be the most intense, with damaging wind gusts damaging wind gusts expected Friday night in Cincinnati, with significant snow in Cincinnati as well. When we say significant snow, it's not really as significant as the other cities but when you combine about probably approximately two to four inches at this point, things are always changing however, and they've been going up but two to four inches the main system is missing Cincinnati. And much of the system might be missing St. Louis as well. Nonetheless, the font itself, just the front in the amount of precipitation just falling along the front and right behind the front. That itself will be squeezing out a few inches of snow perhaps several inches of snow in St. Louis looks like they'll be getting a little bit more than just several. So probably a winter storm watch will likely be issued for the St. Louis area. Chicago is in a whole new level over here in a certain way because of the high snowfall totals which are expected to reach Chicago and Milwaukee as well.The winds will be the same in Chicago, very strong winds. sustained winds might even be stronger in Chicago, but the wind gusts, you know, very high in Cincinnati. What we have going on right now is we have a an extremely strong high pressure system coming out of Siberia. This high pressure is 1050 MB to translate that into the regular American barometric pressure is I don't know, but the low pressure, the high pressure things that I've seen. So 31.3 moving into Montana, the core of the cold, it's Nebraska, Johnston, Nebraska, Johnstown, Nebraska, temperatures hit 24 below zero. This is Friday morning with an afternoon high of 18 below zero. This is polar vortex material. You know, for us Chicagoans when you think back and remember what it was like. When we received the polar vortex. It's very similar stuff. When you go back to that date on December 23. You might see that the high temperature was higher than 18. Below for Johnstown, Nebraska. But that's because it will be occurring a little bit after midnight. Even so the highs will still be below zero. Now, the question is, what's going to happen afterwards. Now if you notice, up until now, actually, unbelievably, temperatures have been forecasted to be colder in St. Louis, than Chicago. Now I'm going to explain why. The reason is because As that arctic air moves in, so once a storm system develops, it stalls the arctic air once the arctic air stalls, then it starts to moderate. So the goal in terms of that arctic air to get it down as quickly as possible. That's the arctic air is goal that has a goal.But once it reaches, it gets closer to the golf, it collides with significantly warm and more moist air and add to it. Once it gets significant enough a storm system develops and that's what's going to be happening. And the cold air reaches its intensity in Nebraska. Before that arctic air stalls. There are questions exactly where will St. Louis be in proportion to the stalling arctic air. So these snowfall amounts have to be worked out for St. Louis, Missouri. But you know, one thing no matter what city you live in, in the Midwest, you're going to be seeing very powerful winds. Winds capable of producing power outages. These are when we when the National Weather Service issues a severe thunderstorm warning warnings are issued when you have wind gusts of 58 miles per hour or higher. Here we don't have any thunderstorms. But the wind gusts may also exceed 58 miles per hour or higher. Wind gusts may hit 60 or 61 miles per hour. So there could be power outages. Another thing that could be expected from what I've seen, regardless as to where the storm system is, you know, everyone can be paying attention to the exact track of the snow, the exact track of the storm to figure out where you are in relation to the bull's eye of the storm. Will you be in the six to 12 inch Bullseye that usually develops in the Midwest, will you be in a three to six inch will you be in the one to three inch but I think that one to three inch bull's eye. It's not a bull's eye anymore. But that 123 inch area might be a lot might be very widespread. Not just because you also have the snow associated with the front and that front is moving through every city. Every city will be affected by that front and any area which is affected by the front we'll be seeing snow so every single city will see snow that that's a that's what I saw. Every single city will be seeing. You know we're talking at least about an intense snow shower. The question is how much snow so I don't know. One would think there would have to be some type of snowfall accumulation. And I think the one toBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.
