Low temperatures around 20 with highs near freezing contributed to the cold exposure death of a man.
Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS LOT wrote it up.
Low temperatures around 20 with highs near freezing contributed to the cold exposure death of a man.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Chicago, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 17, 6:08 PM CST, 2 hours 16 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
608 PM CST THU JAN 17 2013
.DISCUSSION...
305 PM CST
SYNOPSIS:
THE HUDSON BAY VORTEX WILL LEAD TO A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL
JET...ALONG ITS SOUTHERN PERIPHERY...ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES OVER THE
FEW DAYS AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES TO DOMINATE ACROSS WESTERN
NORTH AMERICA. THIS PATTERN WILL DRIVE A VERY POTENT
CLIPPER SYSTEM ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES ON SATURDAY. A SURFACE
WARM FRONT AND LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE WILL SURGE NORTHWARD ACROSS
THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION ON FRIDAY AS THE CLIPPER DIVES
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS SASKATCHEWAN. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL THEN
PLUNGE SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY NIGHT...MARKING
THE TRANSITION TO A MUCH COLDER AIR MASS ACROSS THE REGION FOR
SUNDAY. A SECOND PUSH OF EVEN DEEPER ARCTIC AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE
AREA FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK AS A 1040 + HIGH BUILDS
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE PREVIOUS THINKING...WITH THE MAIN
FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUING TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF
STRONG WINDS SATURDAY EVENING...THE CHANCES OF SNOWFALL
LATE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING AND TEMPERATURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
ARCTIC AIR MASS EXPECTED TO TAKE AIM ON THE AREA. OVERALL THE MODEL
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO HAVE A VERY GOOD HANDEL ON THE LARGER SCALE
PATTERN ACROSS THE AREA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
A COLDER AIR MASS HAS SPREAD OVER THE AREA TODAY. HOWEVER...WITH
SUNNY SKIES AND NO SNOW COVER...TEMPERATURES HAVE ACTUALLY WARMED
NICELY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH PLACES SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 ACTUALLY
CRACKING THE FREEZING POINT.
OUR NEXT CLIPPER SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TACKING SHAPE ACROSS THE FRONT
RANGE OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES. A WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
SOUTHEASTWARD FROM SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
THIS EVENING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A STRONG BAROCLINIC
ZONE. THE 12 UTC RAOBS INDICATED THIS STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE
NICELY...WITH 850 MB TEMPS OF -24 AT INTERNATIONAL FALLS MN...-7 AT
BISMARCK AND AT ABERDEEN...AND +2 AT RAPID CITY SOUTH DAKOTA. THE
MODEL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN CONSISTENT IN DEEPENING THE SURFACE LOW
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS IT DROPS SOUTHWARD ACROSS SASKATCHEWAN. THIS
LOOKS TO INDUCE STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC ASCENT LATER
TONIGHT AND ON FRIDAY ACROSS THE PLAINS EASTWARD ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST AS LOWER LEVEL WEST TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW INCREASES. THIS
WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A BAND OF SNOW ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AND
UPPER GREAT LAKES AHEAD OF THE SURFACE WARM FRONT. IT APPEARS THAT
THIS ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN NORTH OF MY AREA. HOWEVER...THE MODELS
COULD BE UNDER-DOING THE SATURATION A BIT ON THE SOUTHERN FLANK OF
THE BEST ISENTROPIC ASCENT. WITH THIS IN MIND...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
THERE COULD BE A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS
NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS BEFORE THE ACTIVITY QUICKLY LIFTS TO THE
NORTHEAST. I HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE MENTION OF ANY SNOW OUT OF THE
FORECAST AS CONFIDENCE ON ITS OCCURRENCE IS VERY LOW.
ONCE THE WARM FRONT SURGES NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE
MORNING ON FRIDAY...CONDITIONS SHOULD WARM NICELY ACROSS THE AREA.
MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO ADVECT 1 TO 3 DEGREE CELSIUS
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA AT 925 MB. DUE TO THE SOUTHWEST
WIND...WHICH STILL LOOKS TO BE GUSTY UP TO 30 KT DURING THE
DAY...MIXING INTO THIS LAYER IS LIKELY. AS MENTIONED IN THE PAST
COUPLE OF DISCUSSION...COMPARISONS OF 925 MB TEMPERATURES TO
DAILY MAX TEMPERATURES FOR THE SECOND HALF OF JANUARY AT ORD
INDICATE A MEDIAN OF 40 DEGREES AND A 90TH PERCENTILE OF 47 DEGREES
FOR 925 TEMPERATURES BETWEEN -1.3 AND 3.6 DEGREES. SO THE CURRENT
FORECAST CONTINUES TO FIT WELL WITHIN WHAT CLIMO SAYS IS THE MOST
PROBABLE.
WARM CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ON SATURDAY AS WELL...AND THINGS COULD
EVEN BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN FRIDAY...WITH UPPER 40S POSSIBLE
ACROSS MY SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
THE BOTTOM WILL FALL OUT SATURDAY EVENING AS THE FIRST BLAST OF
ARCTIC AIR DROPS ACROSS THE AREA. THE CLIPPER WILL PUSH A STRONG
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY EVENING. ASIDE FROM THE
DRASTICALLY COLDER CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT...IT
APPEARS THAT SOME VERY STRONG WINDS MAY ALSO ACCOMPANY THIS FRONT.
THE SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE DEEPENING AS IT PUSHES
EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN ONTARIO AND INTO WESTERN QUEBEC. THE
COMBINATION OF THIS...AND THE FACT THAT A 1035+ HIGH WILL RAPIDLY
BUILD ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS IN ITS WAKE...WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
SOME VERY IMPRESSIVE 10+ MB/6HR ISALLOBARIC PRESSURE RISES ACROSS
NORTHERN ILLINOIS SATURDAY EVENING. MODEL BUFFER SOUNDINGS
HAVE ALSO BEEN CONSISTENT IN FORECASTING 45+ KT FLOW WITHIN THE
MIXING LAYER. THEREFORE...I CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED THAT
STRONG WINDS UP TO AROUND 55 MPH COULD OCCUR FOR A SHORT PERIOD
SATURDAY EVENING IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.
THE BIG COLD STILL IS SET TO ARRIVE WILL ARRIVE LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT...AND AS IT DOES SO...ANOTHER MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE TRANSLATING
ALONG THE LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE...COULD PRODUCE SOME SNOW
SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION LATE SUNDAY AND INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THE
MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE MINIMAL QPF AMOUNTS. HOWEVER...AS
PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED...THE HIGH RATIO OF 20 TO 30 TO 1 COULD LEAD TO
SOME LIGHT FLUFFY ACCUMULATION OF PERHAPS AN INCH ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES STILL APPEAR TO RUN IN THE TEENS
FOR DAYTIME HIGHS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WITH LOWS LIKELY FALLING
TO OR BELOW ZERO MONDAY NIGHT AWAY FROM CHICAGO. THIS WILL BE BY FAR
THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON. FORTUNATELY CONDITIONS BEGIN TO
SLOWLY MODERATE BY MID TO LATE WEEK AS MID LEVEL HEIGHTS BEGIN TO
RISE ACROSS THE CENTRAL SECTION OF THE COUNTRY.
PRIOR TO THE MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES...IT APPEARS THAT ANOTHER
MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE COULD INTERACT WITH THE STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE
ACROSS THE AREA AND LEAD TO SOME LIGHT SNOW. OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN
THIS REMAINS LOW...BUT I DID CARRY SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON
TUESDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.
FINALLY AT THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...THURSDAY...ANOTHER STORM
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TAKE SHAPE ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. THE
CURRENT NUMERICAL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO VARY WITH THE TRACK OF THIS
SYSTEM...BUT THEY DO TEND TO INDICATE A TRACK NORTH OF THE AREA.
ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE INDICATES A LARGE AMOUNT OF SPREAD. I AM CONCERNED
THAT THE MODELS MAY BE PUSHING THIS ARCTIC AIR MASS OUT OF THE AREA
TO QUICKLY. SO OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM IS
LOW AT THIS POINT...SO I MENTIONED RAIN OR SNOW FOR THURSDAY.

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 00Z...
A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST ACROSS THE
MID MO VALLEY AND WESTERN OK WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE
LOCAL AREA OVERNIGHT KEEPING SKC CONDITIONS AND RESULTING IN
LIGHT W WINDS BACKING TO SSW.
AS A SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVE ESE FROM B.C. TO
SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN OVERNIGHT AND FRI THE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS THE AREA DURING PRE-
DAWN AND MORNING FRI. SSW TO SW WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE A
BIT BY MID-MORNING THOUGH THOROUGH MIXING IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER
DUE TO SURFACE HEATING WILL BE HAMPERED AS AN AREA OF CLOUDS WILL
BE OVER THE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH A WARM FRONT LIFTING NE INTO THE
UPPER MIDWEST.
WITH THE WARM FRONT MOVING FURTHER NORTHEASTWARD BY MIDDAY SKIES
SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR LOCALLY ALLOWING BETTER SURFACE
HEATING AND MORE EFFICIENT MOMENTUM TRANSFER DOWN TOWARD THE
SURFACE THOUGH THE MIXED LAYER DOES NOT INCREASE DURING THE DAY
DUE TO STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER.
STILL...SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAP INTO THE 35-45 KT FLOW PROGGED TO
BE WITHIN 1-1.5K FT ABOVE THE SURFACE.
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT DOES NOT START TO RELAX UNTIL FRI
EVENING BUT DO EXPECT A DROP IN SUSTAINED WINDS AND WIND GUSTS AS
THE SUN APPROACHES THE WESTERN HORIZON.

GRADIENT WILL NOT BE AS STRONG AS EARLIER EXPECTED AND PLAN TO DROP
MENTION OF GALES FOR FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AND CANCEL THE GALE
WATCH. HOWEVER...SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING ANOTHER PERIOD OF
GALES IS EXPECTED AND APPEARS MUCH MORE LIKELY AS INTENSE FAST
MOVING LOW RACES EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND NORTH OF THE GREAT

CONSIDER A HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WATCH AS WELL AS FIRST BLAST OF
ARCTIC AIR COMES BARRELING INTO THE LAKES.

1 cold/wind chill. Local standard time, as filed.
A 71 year old man died of hypothermia and cold exposure according to the Cook County Medical Examiner. He was found in a car.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
