Hoosier Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I think we have a decent chance of April being cooler than March. March was 56.6 and April (through the 19th) is 55.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Lock this in for the summer and I would be in tears of Joy after the last 2 years. I guess it is the West Coast's turn to torch! I'm beginning to wonder if it'll make 45° today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Temp has plunged to 49 after being in the 60s earlier. I didn't know it was supposed to get this cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolness from Lake Michigan getting Lafayette too today! Indianapolis is about to drop next, they're in the mid 60s now. Made it to 42.8°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made it to 42.8°. While the lake is helping to knock a few degrees off temps for near shore counties, it's not the reason a good portion of the area is cool.

Geos Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 While the lake is helping to knock a few degrees off temps for near shore counties, it's not the reason a good portion of the area is cool. Having the front at the bottom of the lake probably helped the cool air with a running start towards LAF though. If the wind profile was the same, but the sun was out you could see that lake influence better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree. This is large scale frontal driven (temps upstream in central IL, well away from any lake influence, are similar or a bit cooler). Didn't see any afternoon temp drop in the forecast so it caught me a bit off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Welcome to the new pattern, folks! Euro weeklies has us above normal from Apr 30th on ( Much above normal week 2 " Apr 30th - May 7th " and slightly above normal week 3 and 4 ) and the below normal out west up into AK. Ofcourse they have been in flip flop mode too. So i guess we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Been sitting at 43° since 1pm. Solid overcast. Skies have turned a lighter shade of gray though since 3:30! Freeze watches to the west. If the NAM is right then upper 20s will be further east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is large scale frontal driven (temps upstream in central IL, well away from any lake influence, are similar or a bit cooler). Didn't see any afternoon temp drop in the forecast so it caught me a bit off guard. My point forecast yesterday called for a high of 70, falling to 49 by 5PM. Today's point just said a high of 68 with no mention of falling temps. Down to 52 here with rain just moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Got up into the mid-70's in west central ohio Yeah, it hit 73 here, then fell slowly for a couple of hours as the clouds rolled in, and has dropped like a rock for the past 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 My wife and I went hiking today before the rains came. It was nice about 72 and filtered sun made the tree canopy look awesome. Another top shelf warm spring day. Thank God I work tommorow because the weather looks downright awfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Pretty nasty out there. 40, rain, and winds gusting to 25mph.... Although it probably seemed worse than it was because I was in shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Winds keeping the temperatures from falling too fast here tonight. I suspect that will change eventually. Sitting at 39°. Plenty of mid 30s just a bit west of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 **** morning here. I guess we are paying for the sickest April i can remember. No surprise though hopefull that the hiking trails in the next county to my west are not swamps. That would really blow big time. D5 of morel hunting and photographing the woods. After work hikes are the best relaxation tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
