turtlehurricane Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Not too bad behind the front...sunny..few puffy clouds...nice deep blue sky...crisp temps. Feels like a nice October day. The sun is making it feel alot warmer, I was shocked to see it's 52 °F since I was walking around the city and thought it was in the mid 60s at least.

Brewers Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The wind is starting to annoy me. Everyday this month has seemed windy. Does anyone one know what is usually the windiest month in Milwaukee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 lol at the 12z NAM on Friday. 2-4" of snow per the snow depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Wow at the 12z NAM for Friday. VERBATIM, it suggests 2-4" of snow. Keep in mind however, while all the other levels are cool and dry, the warmest level (800mb), which has a maximum temperature of 1*C to 2*C, has a dewpoint measurement of nearly -20*C (yes, -20*C!!!)!!!

I think places around northern Oakland county and points north have a shot at seeing some snow here. But accumulating snow I have my early doubts. EDIT: Detroit north.

But accumulating snow I have my early doubts. Accumulating snow is more than possible, as history shows, in late March/early April, even in the daytime, if the rates are steady and heavy enough. I'm assuming the NAM is by far the coldest and most aggressive with this storm so far, but still, it was interesting to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 12z GFS makes the early week system a fun one. Even producing snow on the backside. Yeah, it definitely looks interesting. Do you know how far north the severe potential would likely exist? It looks like the low passes just NW of MKE/RFD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Spring snows are tough to begin with. Factor in seasonal trends of threading the needle and lack of real cold makes this potential no different. Don't get ur hopes up just yet. Let's see how this plays out.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Euro early next week is really just a very strong cold front sweeping through the region with not much of a focused storm. Sunday looks like the warmest day of the year with 850 temps of 16+. The 12z Euro has +20 @850 Monday morning with a LOW temp in the mid to upper 60s. Yowza. The 850 temp craters and goes sub-zero by early Tuesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Very nice day here. Lots of sun with low humidity, deep blue skies. Made it to 68. This would certainly be interesting after 80s on Sunday lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Nice day here. High of 63°, mostly sunny. Cooling off quick now, down to 51° already. Looks like volatile weather starting this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Down to 43° at 10pm. Winds are pretty much calm. Perfect clear skies. Lots of stars out tonight! 0z NAM at pre-dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Looks like an inch of rain is quite possible with the system Thursday night into Friday. Of course, as with most juicy systems, it is a chilly rain. Maybe snow up north and at least some in Michigan. Btw, 18z DGEX at 144: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Looks like a low 40s rainfall for Friday! Green Bay would be in line for snow on the NAM, northern burbs of Detroit. System drags in more nighttime 20s into the Great Lakes in its wake. Nice - the DGEX! - of course this in April though. ~ well hey, I guess it shows that the snow chances aren't over for the GL's.

Stebo Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 You know when you are reaching when the DGEX comes out. Not saying it is impossible but I would wait a bit before busting out the maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto4 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 WOW! It looks like winter is coming back in a big way this Friday for parts of southern Ontario, including the Toronto area. Tonight's 00z model runs (NAM, RGEM and GFS) are showing accumulating snow. The NAM goes bonkers with 6-8" for Toronto. It will be interesting to see how this event unfolds. Should be a fun one to track, especially after the exceptionally warm weather the past two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 if I had half as many snow inches this winter as the nam showed 3+ days out we'd probably be a good amount above avg for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississaugasnow Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Special weather statement issued for a large area of southern Ontario. expecting up to two inches of snow friday and friday night. I also see that it looks to be a stripe from Northern MI, grazing northern Detroits CWA and right into Southern Ontario. Special weather statement for: =new= City of Toronto =new= London - Middlesex =new= Oxford - Brant =new= Niagara =new= City of Hamilton =new= Halton - Peel =new= York - Durham =new= Huron - Perth =new= Waterloo - Wellington =new= Dufferin - Innisfil =new= Grey - Bruce =new= Barrie - Orillia - Midland =new= Belleville - Quinte - Northumberland =new= Kingston - Prince Edward =new= Peterborough - Kawartha Lakes. Potential appreciable snow to round out the month of March. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ==discussion== March may have come in like a lamb, but it may leave like a lion. The recent record warm spell may be cool comfort by Friday night as snow appears likely in many areas of Southern Ontario. A disturbance is taking shape over Kansas this morning and will track just south of the Lower Great Lakes later on Friday. A band of precipitation will accompany it, falling primarily as rain in the southwest, but a Swath of snow and ice pellets appears likely from the shores of Lake Huron eastwards to Lake Ontario and north towards Georgian Bay. It will begin Friday afternoon near Lake Huron and reach Toronto later in the day. There is significant uncertainty as to the accumulation at this time. But a swath of 5 centimetres is possible from roughly Southern Lake Huron to around the west end of Lake Ontario. Somewhat lesser amounts will fall both north and south of this band. There is some risk of higher amounts, due to the rather heavy nature of the snow at times. The snow will likely impact Friday evening rush hour traffic. Temperatures will reach a few degrees above freezing Friday afternoon but quickly drop to near or below freezing once the snow begins. Drivers should exercise caution as untreated roads may become slippery and snow-covered. The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/warnings/SWS_bulletins_e.html?prov=on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
