cyclone77 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Not too bad of a day here. A little brisk with the stiff east winds. Temps made it into the upper 50s though, which aint bad. Very dry air entrenched in place. Dews hovering in the upper teens/lower 20s all afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Chilly day today. Overcast rolled in at about 3:30. High 46°/Low: 31°. Month is only +1.2° after today's coolness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 DTX has a few tenths of an inch of snowfall accumulation in the forecast for the southeastern area. I know it won't amount to anything more then a few flakes resting on top of the grass and elevated areas, but still, that's obviously pretty unusual for the end of April. Especially when we could be looking at upper 70s and thunderstorms later on in the week. Yes it would be unusual. The record snow for tomorrow at DTW has a very high chance of at least being tied as it is a trace, set in 1977. In fact the only measurable snows April 27th or later are as follows (in order of day, not year or amount)...and outside of 0.1" on May 3, 1954 & May 3, 2005, they are all from 1923 or earlier. April 29, 1909: 3.0" May 1, 1909: 0.3" May 2, 1909: 0.1" May 3, 1954: 0.1" May 3, 2005: 0.1" May 4, 1907: 0.2" May 9, 1923: 6.0" May 10, 1902: 0.5" May 13, 1912: 1.5" May 21, 1883: 2.3" May 22, 1883: 2.7" (May 21/22 storm total 5.0").

cyclone77 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Dew down to 19. Looks like a cold and rainy day tomorrow. Won't be pretty, but knowing that 70s and 80s are on the way for next week will take the sting out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 24hr RUC keeps it all rain It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. I'm wondering how far north the precip. will actually make it with the drying NE winds. I see the grids have rain and snow for SE MI. Any precip. that would make it in here now, would likely be rain and sleet with these really low dewpoints. Most dewpoints are between 15°-25° in the area. Feels like mid March! Currently 41°/23° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Was out mowing a little while ago and was very surprised that it started to rain. Didn't last long, but with dews in the upper teens I figured the rain would hold off till later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Webster City Iowa just reported a wind gust of 79mph according to the metar. EDIT: Now it says 81mph (70kts). Hmmm. Sounds a little erroneous, but they are underneath that narrow band of convection. Winds have been gusting between 40-50mph out there all day.

Those kinds of winds from that little bit of convection!!!? Wow. Edit: Winds somewhat gusty here, but nothing like that. Almost feels winterish with low 30 wind chills.

Almost feels winterish with low 30 wind chills. As far as I can tell DMX never put out a non-severe wind/severe wind report from this. If the metar was erroneous it sure would have been nice if they put out some kind of statement to at least refute the metar. I guess we'll never know whether it really happened or not. Getting frequent 30mph easterly wind gusts as a new band of elevated/weakening thunderstorms spirals in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The airport reported ice pellets around 6 am. Maybe the last frozen precip of the year. Horrible wx today, precip is basically stalling out here with a temp of 42 °F. There's a large marathon currently running by my house and I feel bad for them.

IWXwx Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Considering backpacking the UP this May. Basically hopeful that this dry weather continues well into mid May. Nothing worse than wading through ankle deep mud. This weekend looks chilly. Mid 40s seem to low though. Upper 40s to a near chilly 50 seem more likely on Sat. Watching and waiting for the models to throttle up the highs in the next 3 runs Worst Saturday weather all month so far. Just a ****y day out there. How's that 50 degrees working out for you? Sorry, just a little bump troll fun. It is a raw, chilly day. I will be happy to not endure this weather again until late September/early October.

SpartyOn Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Somehow we managed to pull a decent day out of the ashes of a late spring cool damp morning. Not one drop of rain..

A*** brotha. We go above normal for highs next week. Last May was the king of the chill and rain with omega block after omega block. Summer will be nice. As long as the weekends stay dry and sunny most of us won't complain. Sprinkle a few good t storms and small heat wave and we will have a normal lakes summer.

cyclone77 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Was expecting a cold/rainy day today. Rain ended very early this morning and has been dry ever since. Picked up about a half inch of rain predawn. Kind of cold, but it's only one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Drizzle ended about 4:30. Near steady temperature at 42° since this morning. Brisk east winds keeping the wind chill in the 30s. 0.34" of rain/melted sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
