Chicago WX Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Nice spread in temps in Indiana at 7PM. Mid to upper 40's from SBN to IND...EVV 77/63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Afternoon temps nearly 20 degrees below normal today, but no snow...in fact, just a few sprinkles. The heavier precip never broke through enough to get any measurable precip, let alone changing to snow during steadier rates. So DTWs last snow of the 2011-12 season looks to have been a T on April 11th. Still have that wintry nip in the air enroute to a freeze tonight.

The_Global_Warmer Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Through today the 28th. St. Louis is running at 60.1F and (3.2F+) above normal for April versus the 1981-2010 Climo. The next two days are forecast to be slightly above normal. So April is looking to finish 3.5F above normal or so. St. Louis, Missouri Period of record: 1874- Present Top Ten Avg. Temperatures 1) 49.9 2012 2) 48.1 1921 3) 47.6 1878 4) 47.3 1946 5) 47.0 1990/1880 7) 46.2 2006 8) 46.1 1992/1925 10) 46.0 1938 March really messed things up. It was so absurd that it will be very hard for cold anomalies to prevent a new yearly record or top 5 event. To start with the record Spring temperature average here is 61.5F. Yeah, that's it. 61.5F. Well, March was 61.1F and April is going to finish about 60.5F. So going into the last month of Spring on the record books. We will be sitting at 60.7 or 60.8F. The average May in STL is 67F. The month is forecated to start 10-12F above normal per day the first week If May finishes at 70F then the Spring will finish at 64F. If it finishes at 65F then it will finish at 62.3F. In order for Spring to not set a new record May would have to finish at 62.8F or below. that is not going to happen. So now it is a question of how much. For the entire year the record is 60.1F. That is in danger at this point of being destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an uncanny otter Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 April 2012 will go down as being the 13th consecutive month that had above-average temperatures in Windsor. The last time we had a month that was cooler than normal was in March 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW Storm Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Temps bumped up a bit around 50F this afternoon. Was not as cold as some forecasted last week. Still upper 40s to 50 with rain still sucks. This coming week looks warmer. Looking forward to 64 Sunday after this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 One of the better Aprils I can remember in long time. It felt like we had endless sunny warm days. This will go down in my book as the April of 59 and mostly sunny. Hopefull May continues this dry sunny trend. Instead of 59 let's make it 70.

wisconsinwx Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Looks like we're about to get in on some moderate rain. The 18z GFS is terrible even in the short term. It shows two areas of decent rain, with Milwaukee getting barely anything in the middle with this little system, and I can already tell that will be wrong. If it can't even verify 12 hours out, it's hard to take anything it shows beyond that seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
