hawkeye_wx Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Mid 30s here. I will likely get up early in the morning and put a pot of hot water under one of the sheets that is protecting a sensitive plant. I just realized Des Moines has lowered the northern part of their area(Mason City) to 15-20 degrees. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 27F last ob.... She may have dropped down a little more...looks awfully calm out there right now... We need wind! sun is out, so temp should rise pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 At least 26 at LAF. We'll see in about 13 minutes at the top of the hour, how low it actually got. 7 hours of freezing temps. Overachiever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Chicago- TONIGHT...LOOKS TO BE ANOTHER GOOD RADIATIVE COOLING NIGHT /LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES/ ACROSS THE AREA. MOST LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY ONCE AGAIN FALL BELOW FREEZING. THE COLDEST AREAS WILL LIKELY BE FOUND IN THE CRANBERRY BOG AREAS OF CENTRAL WISCONSIN...AND IN BOTH THE WISCONSIN AND KICKAPOO RIVER VALLEYS. THESE LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY FALL INTO THE LOWER AND MID 20S. HOWEVER MANY AREAS OF THESE SAME COUNTIES WILL NOT BE QUITE THIS COLD...SO NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THESE MICRO-CLIMATES. MEANWHILE...THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WILL NOT BE COLD ENOUGH FOR A FREEZE...BUT THEY WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH MOISTURE /TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT SPREADS ARE GREATER THAN 7F/ FOR THE FORMATION OF FROST EITHER. DUE TO THE EXISTING HEADLINE AND THE UNCERTAINTIES THAT WERE ALREADY MENTIONED... DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ISSUING ANY HEADLINES FOR TONIGHT. THIS WILL GIVE THE DAY SHIFT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT ANOTHER 1 TO 3 MODELS RUNS BEFORE MAKING THE DECISION OF WHETHER HEADLINES ARE NEEDED FOR TONIGHT. Another night of this crap...

Geos Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hit 28° sometime between midnight and now. Lots of frosty surfaces when I first got up at 6:45. Up to 31° now. Ouch, mid 20s in the Fox Valley. ...Had a couple mm thick layer of ice on the birdbath. Upper 20s tonight again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Clouds and the snow showers last night saved us from getting down to freezing. Light snow reported with visib as low as 5 miles at DTW overnight, so a T on both Apr 10 and 11th. It looks like a few places in SE MI picked up measurable snow, 0.2" at White Lake, reports of 0.1", 0,2", and 0.4" in Ann Arbor, and 0.1" in Tipton. Temps stayed in the mid-upper 30s with solid overcast and flakes, but should freeze tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clouds and snow showers ftw. LAF was 10F colder than DTW last night. Clouds should clear tonight though, so Im fully expecting a freeze. Weve had several freezes since the early greenup, but none as low as 26...this was LAFs first since early March, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I had buckets of water arranged under my sweet cherries and none of the buckets had ice in them... I had a kiddie pool under my apple trees in another spot and there was a layer of ice in that...not thick, but more then yesterday morning.

Chicago Storm Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It was down to 30, but it's back to to 33 now here. 30 ended up being the low here. ORD made it down to 32 and MDW down to 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Sounds like a really cold night on tap. LOT calling for low to mid 20s across a decent chunk of the CWA. Noticed a bunch of those yellow flowered bushes along a nearby road were done in for this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 At least 26 at LAF. We'll see in about 13 minutes at the top of the hour, how low it actually got. 7 hours of freezing temps. Overachiever. Not only that, but 4 hours of temps AOB 28. I think winds were the culprit...they dropped off more than expected (fluctuated from calm to 3 mph much of the night).

Hoosier Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Will be interesting to see how much damage there was around here. I'd estimate the greenout is at early to mid May levels. That and lows in the 20's don't mix very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogieman Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm not sure how/where TWC comes up with their extended forecast on Local on the 8's. I swear on a pallet of high end weather stations that I walked past the TV yesterday and saw a high of 81 for Sunday here in Flint. Last night, I checked it and it was down to 71 degrees. Just now, the high for Sunday is 68 degrees. But a revision from 81 to 68 is quite an impressive errata for a 24 hour period. It does seem to be the trend lately on LOT8 forecasts to run high 5-6 days out and then keep lowering the high temps with each update. Not that Flint WX is easy to forecast, especially if you're in ATL. Seems like you have to have lived here most of your life, know which achy joint means what and know which way and how high to toss the magic forecasting dust to comprehend Flint weather. Years ago, when I worked in radio, a fella by the name of Joe Zona was one of the mets on our station. He said that Flint's location, being in a valley, east and south of the flatlands, west and north of the hilly land and proximity to Saginaw Bay made it very hard to forecast. I tend to agree that Flint seems to be in it's own little microclimate and this is why, for example, we tend to get a lot of wierd dry slots in linear snow/rain bands and larger thunderstorm cells coming up I-69 often split in two when they get into Genesee county.

Geos Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I've seen bees out and about the last few days, but nothing else in the flying insect world. I'm sure the soil dwelling bugs are doing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
