wxmx Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 168 hours-- Snow in Phoenix, 60 degrees at the Hudson Bay maybe? I'd laugh if either happened. Maybe even Steve (aslkahuna) will record more snow than DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek30 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 NWS Grand Forks is quite bullish on the thunder threat Sunday through Tuesday in ND/MN. It looks like I could get some elevated activity up my way, too. I'm not expecting severe activity. Any lightning or thunder at this time of the year would be more than I could ask for. Do you think the thunder threat would extend into southern MB or stay south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberian Express Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 My Obs for today (and yesterday), and tomorrow....absolutely stunning. We went from "Fall"....to early Summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Broomfield (BJC) Airport temp:70 dew point: -20 RH: 2% This airport is on a flat hilltop at 5654 ft right next to Broomfield, south of Boulder. The exact same temp/dew point occurred last Tuesday 06 March 2012 at 21:53 UTC I think this is the lowest dew point I've seen outside the Sahara desert.

MN Transplant Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If I have it straight, Minneapolis has had 4 record highs and has a chance at 5 more? Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek30 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Models are showing a rather impressive system moving into the Northern Plains early to mid next week. GFS is quite impressive in showing severe thunderstorm potential in the Dakotas and Minnesota Monday night into Tuesday. There would also be snow potential on the backside of the system Tuesday night into Wednesday for far northern areas into southern MB/northwest Ontario. NWS Grand Forks makes mention of this system and seems quite impressed. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Since this looks to be on the eastern end of this board's coverage area, I started a thread in the GL/OV forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapperman Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 If the GFS is right, and it's been consistently showing another big cutoff, it's drought cancel for our region. I would be very thankful. Ridiculously dry winter and last summer up here and we need a giant soak to ge tthings just back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
