Geos Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Days like this are why living near the lake sucks; even NW Wisconsin is generally in the mid 50s but we're stuck in the upper 40s. At least it is sunny today! ... Yeah Tropical those maps do look familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The summer of '09 was pretty crappy. Never seen a summer even close to as cool as that was. Felt like a once in a lifetime kind of thing. Sure hope that doesn't happen again. Pushing 70 here under full sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 58 °F and sunny, too bad I have to leave Wisconsin in a few hours. High of 88 °F tomorrow at my parent's house in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm with Saukville... I wouldn't bet on any hot summer like last year... Next week looks UGLY on the GFS... Might be tough finding a 60F next week...lows in the 30fs...chances of frost/freeze?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hmmm.... 2009 redo? Really thinking we pay big time soon. June - September is starting to look ugly. If a strong nino develops, lock this in ... with moderating temperatures by November 1st in time for another mild nino winter. June and July look like -NAO / +PNA Does the map above look familiar for June and July? Step back 3 years. Total waste of a pattern, save this for November-April.

OHweather Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Why the hell would they use oranges/reds for cool weather while using blue for warm weather? Seems kinda counter-intuitive. Those colors represent 24 hour changes in forecast 500mb heights...warm colors for lower heights and cool colors for higher heights than what the model forecasted for the timeframe 24 hours previous to the image.

wisconsinwx Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Love it when its 70 in La Crosse and 50 in Suckville. Eh, after this area was a winner all of March, I really don't care for these kind of days. In fact, they are downright crappy. On the other hand, if next week's cold outbreak could coincide with any precip, there'd be some happy campers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, at this point even for a cold and snow lover like me it's just a nuisance and hurts a lot of folks who have stuff in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Quad Cities talking about next week's possible cold. WEEK OF APRIL 9 THROUGH 13...HARD FREEZE POSSIBLE NEXT WEEK. ECM CONSISTENT AND THE GFS NOW COMING AROUND TO THE ECM IN CARVING OUT A SUBSTANTIAL TROUGH IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. WITH THE ARCTIC OSCILLATION/NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION FORECAST TO TREND NEGATIVE THE GATES ARE OPEN FOR MUCH COLDER WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE COUNTRY EAST OF THE ROCKIES. 850 MB TEMPS ARE PROGGED BELOW ZERO CELSIUS FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK AND AS COLD AS -8C IN THE DVN CWA. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES MAY DROP IN THE 20S WITH A HARD FREEZE FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF NIGHTS NEXT WEEK. GARDENING INTERESTS WILL WANT TO MONITOR THIS DRAMATIC WEATHER CHANGE.

SpartyOn Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Saying winter returns is a tad extreme. More like hello 40s for highs and endless stratus hell. Every spring we get these worries about cool summers. Then every fall we get fears of snowless torched winters. Kinda funny but interesting.

This predicted cold snap correlates well with the dip in the NAO. Little lag period by the looks of it. Topped at 52° today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Nina basically gone now...could have ramifications especially farther down the road. It would take an act of God for meteorological spring to not be above average. Still only April but based on current data and indications of further warming across the ENSO regions thru mid month, it would be logical to assume a possible neutral or Nino anomaly next winter but its still quite early. IMO, I'd rather wait till late May-June before coming to any conclusions. I personally wouldn't mind a Nino next Winter (Weak one)....after seeing this dreaded La Nina Winter. Everything this past Winter flopped, f*cking sad. Despite huge records in March, and the AGW "crew" screaming out aloud....I didn't mind it at all, bring on Summer . A summer of perhaps 08 or 09 would be nice after seeing two extremely hot summers in a row lol. More or less.....seasonal this week in terms of temps. http://www.weatherof...l?on-143&unit=i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
