Ajdos Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 to a "cool" Summer. I'd very much like to avoid a repeat of last year. Anyways back on topic, another swing and a miss for LAF with this one. Book it. Cool summer? Seriously? That's so depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 There were some decent improvements so far on the 00z run with respect to our next system. GGEM and UKMET were excellent and te GFS took a big step in the right direction (note the orientation of the 500mb trough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Cool summer? Seriously? That's so depressing. Agree. The summer of '09 was terrible with constant cool rainy days. Summer aint summer without at least a few periods of intense heat/humidity. I love the feeling of walking back inside the cool AC house after an afternoon of yard work. Love sitting out back watching the towers build towards sunset as the nocturnal convection gets ready to blow up over the 78 degree dewpoints. One of the best parts about living in the corn belt!

Hoosier Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Cool summer? Seriously? That's so depressing. Well, I don't think he's meaning highs of 60 degrees, just keeping the 90's and muggies to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Other then August i can't complain as much about last summer despite the heat which one can thank to all the T-Storm action which lacked in August and thus the exception that sucked. In summer i'll take action before anything else. If no action then the heat can stay away unless i head for the beach. A least up here, a lot of our true *HEAT* potential was muddled by the stormy pattern (thus those ugly two words I hate that start with "C" and a "D"), that's what really pissed over last summer for me. Give me a late 90s/early 2000s summer (or late 80s/early 90s) summer any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Doesn't look too promising attm. D4-6 system looks like it may have some limited frozen/freezing pcpn. potential, but the seconds are definitely running out on this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajdos Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 horrible summer, didn't have one solid severe event. Yeah, it was a horrible summer.

Wait until you move to florida. Then you will be complaining its too hot and have nothing to track in the winter months as we get our 20 inch+ snow storm up here!

But really I'm just not a fan of heat and humidity. Like I said though, to each his own. Back on topic of this thread, system looks rather unorganized and unappealing. Time to move out of this bland pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I clearly am in the minority but I definitely prefer a cool summer. I golf a lot, so I like temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 80s. A cool summer would feature that kind of weather. Many cool summers still result in severe weather so I don't think most here will have to worry about a lack of thunderstorms due only to a cool summer.

Chicago WX Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 12z NAM gets the job done. Surface is a little "warm", but everything else is a go. Alas, it's the NAM in the 60-84 hour range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what so great about the Plains (and the downside to other climates). Unlike most parts of the country you get the best of both extremes in the Plains, especially the Central Plans.

cyclone77 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The system looks a bit too warm for snow in this area. We finally get the moisture in here but it'll be a few degrees too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE CANADIAN HAS SWALLOWED SOMETHING AND BRINGS AN IMPRESSIVE SFC LOW CIRCULATION ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS THAT PUTS US IN THE CROSS-HAIRS OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION FRIDAY EVENING. IT IS AN OUTLIER AMONG THE MODEL SUITE SO CAN/T GIVE IT MUCH CREDIT. BUT SPRING IS FULL OF SURPRISES AND THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO WILL HAVE TO BE WATCH CLOSELY.

Chicago Storm Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The GEM is shown as mainly rain on this site.. 850's are marginal and even above 0C for a while in the QC area, so i'm not sure where they're getting "significant snow" from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The significant snow snippet was from MKX. Per the precip type graphic, we would have snow for about 4 hours early Saturday morning, not quite the significant Friday night snow the AFD indicated. Regardless, light rain/snow mix looks like the reality for the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
