Chicago WX Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 12z MET for LAF: 32, 27, 31 That 27 is troublesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 12z MET for LAF: 32, 27, 31 That 27 is troublesome. At this point I think a freeze is more likely than not on Wednesday morning. As long as the gradient stays up it shouldn't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Clear blue sky with that breezy cold front feel to the air on the way.. Should be a couple top shelf veg-dev opportunity's with a sprinkling of possible fires thrown in to boot 20's and 30's making a beeline at La Crosse already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Window blinds are blowing up and out like skirts and dresses on a windy day.. Loving that crisp feel to the air blowing all through the house. Might have to close up shop soon with the furnace shut down until next nov.

BowMeHunter Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 This would be more interesting veg-dev and greenhouse flattening weather In 1973, a significant late spring snow storm, which began early on the 8th, dropped heavy snows across the region. Totals for the 9th ranged from: In IA: Waucoma (12"), Decorah (10.5"), Elkader (10"), New Hampton (10"), Cresco (8"), Lansing (8"), Fayette (6"), Oelwein (6"). In MN: Harmony (11"), Caledonia (10"), La Crescent (10"), Spring Grove (9.4"), Elgin (9"), Minnesota City (9"), Grand Meadow (8"), Rochester (6.4"). In WI: Viroqua (13"), Prairie du Chien (12"), Richland Center (12", greatest one-day snowfall), Hillsboro (11"), La Crosse (10.3", snowiest April day, total snowfall 16"), Platteville (10.2"), Lynxville (9.5"), Genoa (9"), Lancaster (9"), Mauston (9"), Mondovi (8"), Muscoda (8"), Trempealeau (8"), Westby (8"), Sparta (7"), Alma (6"), Galesville (6"), Dodge (6"), Mather (6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwburbschaser Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Enjoy the cold weather over the next few days because it looks like this is it, at least in the Chicago area. I know you cold weather junkies are liking it, but I'm ready for sustained warmer weather. Hopefully the fruit growers aren't hit too hard by this last cold shot, but that crazy March might have cost them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 NWS raised temps tonite to 31F...not sure what they are seeing, but it would sure help...because covering plants with this wind is impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwburbschaser Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Obviously there will be cool shots coming in every now and then, but lows in the upper 20's around here don't look very likely to come back around after this. I don't mean sustained warm weather like it's July, but just average is pretty warm this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 sustained warm weather doesn't normally happen in early april. Take whatcha can get. Sometimes takes until early June!! -by the lake. Edit: Staying out of the 30s and up to the mid 40s. Come to think of it I've experienced some chilly lows in the 40s every month except August around here.

hoosierwx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Teens would be complete veg-dev! We had that happen a few years back. All of the trees were leafed out and then over Easter we had three nights in a row in the teens. The leaves all turned black and fell off. The fruit crop was pretty much gone and the grass never really recovered. Hay Crops were at 50 percent or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 On the local news they seem to think the wind will prevent a freeze in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Freeze Warnings keep on moving eastward across the region. I'm betting upper 20s right up the lake shore in WI - outside of maybe the Milwaukee urban core. Dewpoint of 18° now. 0z NAM looks to be a tad colder for areas around La Crosse. What's up with the pie wedge in far SE WI!... Down to 43° just before 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 36 °F at MSN with a wind of 8 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajdos Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 These cold shots are all normal. These are your typical seasonal transitions. We would have been better off if it was like this in March. We had that major warm up in March, which is not typical, therefore it was literally like a seasonal transition from winter (whatever winter we had) to summer, and led to the widespread green up. These cold shots should continue all the way through the beginning of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Winds have picked up quite a bit, 13 mph gusting to 22 mph! Temperature of 35 °F at the airport, 34.2 °F on top of the weather building. When it gets below freezing this is going to be instant vegetation destruction with such brisk winds, for things that aren't hardy to freezing temperatures at least. Just hit freezing up the road in Baraboo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 34 °F at the airport, 32.5 °F on top of the met building, but less than 3 hours till sunrise. This will be a light freeze at best in downtown Madison, but suburbs could push hard freeze since it's already below freezing out there. Lots of 20s east of the Mississippi in central WI though, Volk is leading the pack at 26 °F. Only reason I'm still up is cause traveling ruined my biological clock today.
