BowMeHunter Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 We've been kinda dry in this region so far. My soil conditions are pretty good after that 2" of rain this weekend. Preparing for another 1.5" or better the next 2 days. Calm before the storm so to speak right now here. Still mild in the upper 50s, little wind. A lot more optimistic than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 A lot more optimistic than me If the 0z runs are right then I won't see that, maybe you will though! I can't believe it... still 60° outside! Just had a brief shower about 20 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a brief shower about 20 minutes ago. Yeah its gorgeous out.. little disheartening to see the better qpf continually nudging north the past few days. Problem is i ride qpf on the models harder than tropical beats his weenie to brett anderson. Maybe aleks se trend will kick in and we get a better 1-2 punch.

BowMeHunter Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 another cheap overnight high of around 60 but we'll be stuck in the 40's most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Mid 40Fs here today...with rain... looks to be filling in nicely out west. Some snow mixing in later? Alaska has warmed up nicely with near 60F temps in Fairbanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Cold, wet day in progress here. 44° currently. Outside of the wee hours of the morning temperatures will not be that warm to the north on this map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I would say the plume of moisture looks a bit south of what has been modeled recently. Those same models dryslot us for much of this evening before it pivots more SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those same models dryslot us for much of this evening before it pivots more SE. I would say so. The 12z NAM is missing that intense rain in eastern IA and the rain is actually extended further south then that run. It's completely missing the rain E & N of St. Joseph, MO. too. The NAM is also overdoing temperatures by 4-6° around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 This is shocking...it gets at how mild this fall and spring have been in Chicago. Obviously winter was incredibly mild too...but this statistic doesn't really reflect that (as most winter days have a low temp < 32F, even in mild winters). ORD: Number of days with low temp < 32F, by season (1959-present) Most 1. 142 (1964-65) 2. 139 (2000-01) 3. 137 (1996-97) 4. 136 (1981-82) 5. 135 (1978-79) Fewest 1. 84 (2011-12) 2. 96 (1997-98) 3. 96 (1975-76) 4. 98 (1998-99) 5. 99 (1973-74) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 It's funny, it just started raining and they are doing tornado siren testing as I type this. Hopefully everyone has the common sense to not panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Moderate to heavy rain band coming through right now. Lo and behold, MKX issued a statement explaining the tornado siren test since they had some complaints about not knowing whether to take it seriously.

BowMeHunter Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 picked up .44 in that hr or so. I was figuring about .50 give or take for the event so I'm pretty happy where we sit ATM. Models were right inching the stuff north back to the west and hit pretty well out towards la crosse. some more heavies to move through there and to the north.
