How were 47/69/97?

47 is pre modern record (1950). 69 kinda meh. 97 pretty solid. Looks like 4 of 6 yrs have violent tor in the time frame we are going which is getting on the late side. 97 was Jarrell F5.

All those yrs are decent for chasing. 58 low numbers but its 58. Violent tor outbreak in early June. I loves you guys.

I would think logically that late April severe should be pretty good. I'm sure you are thinking the same. Pretty big vortex of cold air in CAN will try to flex at times in the middle of the country creating some pretty strong temp and humidity gradients. That plus what seems to be a pretty active stream of shortwaves hitting the west coast and central rockies should set the stage.

I didn't look at April but I would think once the pattern breaks down a bit something big could happen. Signs seem good at this pt for a solid peak season overall... But I might just be weenieing.

I obviously don't know much about severe but I know some generalities. Especially closed lows coming out of CO. It looks pretty ripe IMO. Looks to be a solid April snow season in the CO rockies and that should translate well for your focus in the middle of the country. I know CO snow climo very well and they are finally getting what they've been chasing for 2 years now. April can be very snowy even as the resorts close because of lack of business.

Part WAG and part educated guess but I think there could be a series of closed ull lows forming in the lee of the rockies as shortwaves traverse the mountains during April. We'll see how things are lookin as the uber block relaxes late next week.

from the other thread

 

 

Since 1945, there have been 2 months where we did not have a 70 degree reading in either February or March

 

1958 - No 70 degree reading from November 20th to  April 13th

1993 - No 70 degree reading from November 24th to April 14th

 

Can we get to April 15th?

 
 
1958 had a very warm April 15-30...1962 was coolish until 4/20 and then we blazed the last 10 days (pun intended)....1993 was cool/cold wire to wire

 

'58 is also the only March since DCA moved that the temperature didn't hit 65°.  We will match that feat this year.

damn. 1st have of Apr 1958 was pretty sick in the blocking department:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second half broke down and centered the low heights in central canada with ec ridging. I have no idea about the second half of apr that year but looking @ h5 it seems that it would have had some pretty good outbreaks in the middle of the country. 

 

I kind of envision a period of april 2013 looking somewhat similar.

Hush. You cancelled winter.

Last time we got a snow so good into the city in late Mar was 1990. A tiny bit more fell in April in the city. Our last three accum came on the 7th tho so it's maybe a false signal. ;). No 1"+ storms since 1924 so I'd be kinda bearish. Could be a fun target though..

heh, I've been watching. Let's be honest with ourselves here. April snow requires luck,timing, perfection, and everything else that you can think of. I'll have little to say until we're inside of 84 at least. Prob more like 72. A bird fart can screw this one up.

I'm in
