Where did the cyclone come from, because of which Tyumen was covered with heavy snow.
The height of the snow cover in the city reached 14 cm. Such data was recorded by the weather station on the morning of November 9. According to weather forecaster Ilya Weinstein, snow was brought to the city by a small cyclone that formed on the evening of November 8 in the northwest of the Kurgan region.
On the weather map he had only one closed isobar - a line connecting points with the same atmospheric pressure. Due to the cyclone's small size, its path remained unclear until recently, the forecaster said.
Initially, meteorological models showed that the cyclone would head towards the central part of the Kurgan region. But later the forecast changed: the main precipitation area moved to the north and northwest of the region, capturing Tyumen. The track of the cyclone and the area of snow could only be definitively determined at midnight on November 9.
Heavy snow also fell in the neighboring Kurgan area. In the north and northwest of the area, the snow cover was 10-15 cm.
