LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS can be seen sweeping off Lake Michigan as frigid arctic air rides over the comparatively "warm" lake waters. ALSO NOTE the river valleys carved in the region's snowpack which become visible as the sun rises and illuminates them in this Sunday morning GOES-19 weather satellite animation courtesy of the COD GOES WEATHER SATELLITE SITE. | Tom Skilling

The lake-effect clouds boiling out over Lake Michigan in this time lapse video shot from my balcony looking east from Chicago's North Side Edgewater neighborhood in Sunday morning's bitter chill is really quite stunning. Also interesting is the "steam"--referred to as "sea smoke"--which shows up with particular clarity as the rising sun illuminates it with particular clarity.

THIS PAST SUNDAY'S LAKE-EFFECT CLOUDS, produced by the arctic air mass which gripped the area at the time, can be seen out over Lake Michigan At the height of Sunday's bitter invasion of frigid arctic air, I pointed my balcony camera eastward in order to look out over Lake Michigan from Chicago's far North Side Edgewater neighborhood and time lapse the cloud development which was ongoing over the east side of the lake. The lake-effect cloud formation was the product of the single digit and sub-z

Watch on this SATURDAY GOES WEATHER SATELLITE TIME LAPSE how lake-effect clouds sweep over counties adjacent to Lake Michigan even as sunshine (i.e. clear skies) hold inland. What's quite fascinating in this video is watching how, as the lake clouds move inland, they make it only so far---then evaporate once away from Lake Michigan. This satellite time lapse is courtesy of the College of DuPage's GOES WEATHER SATELLITE site. The day's cloud cover limited high temps in Chicago to the low 60s. | T

What is lake effect snow and how does it form?

❄️ 👀 Lake-effect snow moved eastward off the Great Lakes across the Northern United States on Thursday, January 2, bringing snowfall to New York, Pennsylvania, and other states. Satellite imagery released by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere at Colorado State University (CSU/CIRA) shows lake-effect snow cascading off the Great Lakes, and gravity wave clouds rolling over the Appalachian Mountains in the northern U.S. According to the National Weather Service, lake-effect s

Lake Effect season has begun

Lake effect snow is a weather phenomenon that occurs when cold, dry air moves over a relatively warmer body of water, such as a lake. The temperature difference causes the air to pick up moisture and heat from the water. This moisture-laden air rises, cools, and condenses, forming clouds that produce heavy snowfall, often in narrow bands. Key Features of Lake Effect Snow: 1. Warm Water Source: It typically happens when large lakes (like the Great Lakes) are not fully frozen. 2. Cold Air Mass: Ar

Clouds can and do cast shadows on other clouds. What you’re seeing is a real atmospheric effect. What’s happening \t•\tWhen the Sun is low (sunrise or sunset), taller or denser clouds block sunlight. \t•\tThat blocked light creates shadow bands that fall onto: \t•\tlower clouds \t•\thaze or dust in the atmosphere \t•\tsometimes even distant cloud layers These dark-and-light streaks are often called crepuscular rays (when the light beams are visible) and anticrepuscular rays (when the shadowed ba

Lake effect snow is a localized snowfall event that occurs when cold, dry air moves across warmer lake water, picking up moisture and heat, and then depositing that moisture as snow on the downwind shores. This process creates narrow bands of intense snow that can produce significant accumulation over a small area, while nearby locations remain clear. The phenomenon is common in the Great Lakes region of North America but also occurs in other areas with large bodies of open water. #onthisday #la
