Hoosier

That'll work

Saturday would feel downright hot if not for the winds.

Yeah. Mid-upper 60s seems more realistic.

Old model runs and 2 different storms on 2 cycles. I wouldn't get too worried yet.

Cool stuff. Not sure I've heard of that storm before.

Days start getting shorter in 9 weeks.

Looked up May 2018 at IND, and you're right. No high was below 72. 25 out of 31 days were 80+, and every day except 1 was 80+ after May 8.

Somewhat below average is tolerable at this time of year, especially if it's sunny. It's the days that are like 15 or 20 degrees below average that suck.

I remember 2018. It seemed like everything exploded (leaf out, etc) almost overnight.

Is he suggesting a cooler than average summer? I'll believe it when I see it.

Question... has Detroit ever recorded at least 1" of snow 3 years in a row on/after Apr 15?

Record daily snowfall on 4/18 for Chicago is 0.6". Could be close.

RC used the word wonky to describe the setup. As such, makes it a bit difficult to pinpoint where the highest amounts may occur in LOT's area (relatively speaking, as this is likely a 1" to maybe 2" thing in LOT's area). Can actually make a case for it being I-80 or south, but not necessarily a high confidence thing. Does look like some higher amounts could occur over into parts of OH/MI.

It's almost becoming comical. It's not common to get sticking/accumulating snow mid April or later around our latitude, but it's been an annual or near annual occurrence lately.

NAM went a little crazy with the Sun-Mon system. Overdone, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's are areas of 1"+ on grassy/colder surfaces. This is favorably timed for the LOT area (occurring after dark), which is what you want to see at this time of year for snow to stick the best that it can in the absence of heavy rates.

Yeah, I can buy it being easier to overcome later in spring and summer. How many days in summer do we have dews in the 70s? A lot. Even if moisture temporarily gets depleted by an early day MCS or whatever, it doesn't take much to replenish.

We got the rain to move out fairly early, but it stayed cloudy as you mentioned. Just off the top of my head, a few events that had preceding rain or clouds and then produced a good amount of severe wx in the LOT cwa are 4/20/04, 6/5/10 and 6/30/14... granted they mainly impacted areas near/south of I-80. I don't think we were all that far away from having a more significant severe wx episode in the area on Wed. I mean, even with all the clouds, ORD managed to reach the low 70s and dews got into the low 60s.

Looks like a shot at some flakes Sunday night into early Monday. Make it stop. Any novelty factor with that has worn off with a relatively recent series of snows in mid to late April. At least this *should* be the last chance.

lol, someone texted this to me today.

EF0 tornado confirmed in southern Indiana.

White Sox game is wild right now in the wind. Routine pop-ups have been dropped several times.

Impressive

LOT upgraded to High Wind Warning.

Well, we have a warned cell north of Joliet.

Nature is like Father Time. It always wins.
