Joe Bastardi from Accuweather said the following about this event: "A WILD 10-DAY PERIOD WITH UNBELIEVABLE EARLY SEASON COLD AND SNOW OVER THE PLAINS AND INTO THE MIDWEST AND LAKES. TREE SNAPPING SNOW AND WIND UPPER MISS VALLEY THROUGH WESTERN AND CENTRAL LAKES WITH PEAK GUSTS TO 70 MPH POSSIBLE".
| An unseasonably strong cold front will plow across the central and eastern U.S. during Wed-Fri of next week. In terms of the cold air and low 500 mb heights, this event only occurs about once every 50 years this early in the season!! Insanely strong winds and snow will be common across the northern U.S., and severe weather will likely accompany the cold front in the eastern U.S. A blog from a tv meterologist in Grand Rapids, MI is comparing this event with the 19-20 Oct 1989 lake effect snow storm where 5-10' snow fell in western MI! The temperatures of the Great Lakes are still in the upper 50s, so when air this cold passes over the warm lake waters, heavy rain and snow is possible along the eastern shores of the lakes. The snow will be wet and heavy, so downed trees and power outages will be possible if the heavy snow verifies. We'll be monitoring this system closely, and may have to chase the severe weather and the lake effect snow! |
