BowMeHunter 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. I had forgot about it and it woke me up from my nap.. Yeah, I figured it out after I came to my senses of being woken up while walking to the PC.

wisconsinwx Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Btw, Waukesha and West Bend are 37F right now with similar dewpoints. As night hits it will be interesting to see how much the temps drop. We also have to worry about the dry slot, but I won't be surprised if snow mixes in north and west of MKE, and MKE agrees.

BowMeHunter Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 well that round of rain produced about as well as the brewers bats the last 3 innings - .11" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Not too bad out there right now at 63. Was 70 earlier. WF just south of here. Dewpoint has shot up to 56. Picked up 0.20" of rain so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Woke up to Upper 40s this morning, but has fallen since. Down to 41° (Wind Chill low to mid 30s). Picked up 0.33" of rain today so far. Little better then I expected. Edit:...The NAM has been off with temperatures today and timing. And really off with precipitation placement.

Powerball Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hopefully, we may get a conditional severe weather threat if the front slows down just a hair. 18z NAM shows Thunderstorms here from 21z-00z. Still, you can't get much out of only 500 J/KG of CAPE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Last yr on this date Madison got 1.3" of snow. La Crosse 3.3" and Green Bay 9.9" Big big dry slit out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Incredible temp contrast over the DVN area. Upper 40s in the north near Dubuque, and 70 in the QC. We've cooled to 57. About 10-15 miles south it's near 70. The thermal ridge should move through briefly in the next few hours as the WF gets a slight bump northward. Wouldn't be surprised to see it jump back close to 70 later this eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 tomorrow morning will mark the 13th night with lows below 40 for april so far.. Last March only had 10 through the 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHWEST OHIO FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND SPREAD INTO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA FRIDAY EVENING AND NIGHT. THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD FRONT IS FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE AND MY INITIAL THOUGHT WERE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. HOWEVER AFTER LOOKING AT THE BUFKIT SOUNDING THE INSTABILITY IS VERY LIMITED. I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE A LIMITING FACTOR IN THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL. THE 18Z SPC OUTLOOK PLACES MOST OF THE AREA IN "SEE TEXT" FOR DAY TWO. THERE IS A THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING BUT IT IS LIMITED. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. Area Forecast Discussion from the NWS in Cleveland earlier this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Warm front just came back through. Temp here has jumped from 57 to 61 in the last 15 mins. EDIT: I can literally sit here and watch the temp go up tenth by tenth. Very impressive WF. EDIT2: Up another 3 degrees to 64 and still climbing. 7 degree rise over the last half hour.

turtlehurricane Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 39 °F in Madison with 0.86" of rain today so far. Doesn't look like it'll get cold enough to snow so I'm only missing a cold rain. Sunday is starting to look very interesting as far as winter precip chances go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will likely happen is that we get a narrow line of strong showers late Friday Afternoon that produces advisory-type winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 66 with a gusty south wind now here. Amazing temp contrast over northern IL. WF is probably only a few miles north of here. Only 52 in Clinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's cool seeing the wavy front laid out with the influence from Lake Michigan. 51° up 88 in Dixon. Looks like the front has made it all the way to Peotone south of Chicago - only 46° there now. Yet 67° at Kankakee airport! 21°/18miles. Speaking of boundaries... the GFS is showing the lower lakes being near the dividing line between warm and cool air next week - especially the last half. Could get interesting.

If anything convective happens there'll definitely be frozen precip, morning would be the time for any real snow with temps in the lower to mid 30s http://wxweb.meteostar.com/sample/sample.shtml?text=KMSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Powerhouse front just collapsed back south and passed through. Temps starting to crash again. What a yo-yo day of temps here.

cyclone77 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Have now dropped 17 degrees in the last hour. From 66 to 49. The warm south breezes have been replaced by abrasive north winds and a cold rain lol. At least it will warm back up next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Got about 0.30" of rain earlier from a couple batches of light to moderate rain. It looked like we might not get much more this evening, but right before the back edge moved in it intensified and quickly dropped another 0.54". That puts us over 2 inches in the last week. The Euro consistently had the warm front lifting north through CR today with highs in the 60s, but it never made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 DTX jacked up the highs quite a bit for today. Now they're calling for a high of 76*F tomorrow (adjusted upward from 69*F). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Highest rain totals look to be about 2.5 inches just south of this area.... we ended up around 1.75 inches or so. A day long soaker. Cold and sunny out there this morning. Good day to dry everything out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
