Thundersnow12 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 some pulse storms going up in the clearing oriented NW-SE from RFD to south of ARR to IKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm surprised no one's mentioned the 88 degree reading at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, MI for the 1:53PM reading... maybe they'll give Michigan its first 90 degree March reading? Still 88 at 2:53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettman320 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Pretty cool boundary showing up on radar across south Michigan. Any one know what that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 doubt april will be cooler than march. guess it could be tough if we torch out again to finish the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Shot up to 75F here only to drop back to 72F...lot more clouds over this way, but when the sun comes out...temp just shoots up. GFS is a lot cooler...looks like more 50Fs then anything... Oh well...its spring. Hopefully we can eek out a few 60F's ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If I can't get vegetation assassination weather the GFS is the next best thing - loaded with 50's and 60's for highs and 30's and 40's at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 So would we say that April is looking much cooler than March? Cooler than March relative to average is almost guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Was just going to post that the cut off low is certainly impressive on satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettman320 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if April ends up cooler than March in absolute terms as well. My guess is we end up slightly above with many more temperature swings than we experienced in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thunderstorms firing up all around Madison as synoptic-scale uplift blows the cap. Already taking on band-like qualities since the uplift is in a band shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is we end up slightly above with many more temperature swings than we experienced in March. I agree about more swings but imo, little reason to think the warmth won't win out again overall given the lack of upstream snowcover, potentially unfavorable MJO for cold at least for part of the month and the overall persistence of a warmer than average pattern for months. My WAG for LAF for April is comfortably above average...maybe something like +4 to +6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 DTX radar shows like a thousand different little boundries and all of these little popcorn storms. Cool to see them all interacting with eachother. Feels like sauna out there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My WAG for LAF for April is comfortably above average...maybe something like +4 to +6 Regarding the MJO, it looks like we will retrograde back into phase 6 which as you said could make for some warmer weather. However, I have a hunch we will enter phase 7 thereafter which could make for some coolish weather. The lack of snow pack up in Canada will also moderate things as you said. I was wondering, are there any analogs for the current lack of snow up in Canada or is this kind of a first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Ran into those Racine/Kenosha County cells about 30 minutes, boy were those heavy rain producers! Much cooler air temperatures in the low 50s was getting rained down. 62° at home, cloudy and damp. Cool cirrus clouds today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 MLI underachieved again and failed to hit 70 by 1 degree. DVN hit 71. Think there's something going on with MLI, as they have been a few degrees cooler during this whole stretch than DVN on many of the days. It's almost always the other way around.
