MountainMarvel Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 It was 34 at 7:30 a.m., and frost was on the meadows and ice on the cars. A heavy steam was rising from Otter Pond down the road. So good to see seasonal temps after such a warm spell. For more pics, check out my blog..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 36.2 was my low this morning. I didn't see any frost but I'm sure there was some around in the typically favored areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 32.4" last night. Brought some of the tender stuff in but the hosta's and such are going to be a little burnt around the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 It was 36 most of the night here, with a brief dip down to 34. Didn't see any frost anywhere nearby. Soon as the breeze started stirring about 6:00, it shot up to 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I don't know how cold the gfs was showing for your location, but It got down to 41 here this morning, so it was pretty close to the 30s here. Next week will be different though because both the euro and gfs are showing quite a bit colder 850mb temps vs this time so i don't have much doubt in 30s next week.Only thing is I haven't looked at the wind speed, which might keeps us a little warmer. But no doubt the airmass will be colder than this time. If it had not been so warm for so long, this wouldn't be so annoying but damn...i hate cold mornings this time of year. Of course if this was January or February we would be complaining about it being so warm and it would feel really warm. But going from 90 to 42 and highs in the 60s/lows in the 30s next week sucks. Yeah, I spoke too soon. It did actually make it to 44, which is only 8 degrees off what the Gfs was giving I shouldn't have under estimated the power of the Masters Cold Shot. Happens every year. Personally I'd enjoy a more desert like summer here, with highs up high, if they have to be, but lows in the 30's all summer would be great, lol.

Marion_NC_WX Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 It's looking like we have a nice 5-7 day run of "average early spring" weather with possible frost issues here in North Carolina. However starting next weekend, most the global models are developing a trough in the middle part of the country. That along with high pressure in the Western Atlantic will put us back in a deep Southwest flow. My bets are that the upcoming cold shot will be the last shot of the spring.

Gastonwxman Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 After dropping to 41 for the low, temperatures rebounded nicely back to around 70 for today. Nice, cool occasional breeze and Carolina blue skies. Perfect April day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So next year vacation will be in June and I'll be free in July. Besides....I owe Aims and Diane a few drinks and I need to pay up Expected high today of 81 then spring returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Glad I've held off planting... THE CHILLIEST NIGHT OF THE STRETCH WILL BE WED NIGHT...AS THE CENTER OF THE CP HIGH MIGRATES CLOSER AND PROMOTES MORE OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS. CONSENSUS LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES AROUND 1310 METERS AT 12Z THU SUGGESTS A WIDESPREAD FROST AND LIGHT FREEZE WILL BE LIKELY...WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S.

jburns Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Glad I've held off planting... Yeah, they've dropped my low Thursday morning to 30 now. This morning the forecast was for 36. Too late to hurt my azaleas though. They are about to finish blooming anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Got down to 41 overnight - called for mid-upper 40's. Hope the upcoming cold snap isn't off that much on the low side for all the agricultural interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMarvel Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 42 this morning, with clear blue skies, until suddenly, lenticular clouds began to form to my north coming off the escarpment. What a parade it still is... The surface winds are from the SSE at 5 to 10, but the clouds are forming and moving rapidly from the NW. So interesting to watch. Rare around here.

Gastonwxman Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 After 74 for today's high, tonight will begin the big cool down. Lows expected to drop to about 40 and then only rebound to the low 60s. It could potentially struggle to reach the 60 degree mark but I'm thinking something like 62 would be as far it gets tomorrow and then flirting with the freezing mark for the low that following night around here. Places such as Boone are looking mighty chilly with only the 40s for highs and upper 20s as lows, not to mention the gusty winds in attendance with that. Speeds are looking to be potentially higher than 30 mph for the folks up there so there goes the wind chill to factor in. It's already been breezy for the most part down here all day and I can feel the cooler air progressively making its presence known. After all of that, the 80s appear to make a return for next week...The bi-polar attitude of the weather around here is almost impossible to believe but hey Nature does what it wants to do, so it goes.

Marion_NC_WX Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ever since mid afternoon...it has been quite windy here along the escarpment. Frequent gusts 20-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMarvel Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Gusts reached 50 here around 3 p.m. Still had gusty conditions at 8 p.m. Looking for another cold night tonight. The blackberries have started to bloom, which means that we should have no more frosts. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
