weathergy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I didnt see anything about snow and ice in the discussion. Neither did I. I was referrimg to the various model solutions of what is POSSIBLE and referencing the diacussion to explain why the forecast was showers and 50s every day. I doubt it snows here. The warmest solution being the GFS is probably appropriate for this time of year. Now I'm not saying it can't snow in April but if the GFS was advertising snow, I'd say different.

Chicago WX Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 57 in the LAF. Felt like an absolute torch, though still 2 degrees below the normal high for today. All relative to how cold it's been I guess. Had the car washed this morning, goodbye salt and grime. So fresh and so clean. Ahh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Another large grass fire again here in SeMI. Harsons Island was the newest location and is the 4th large grass fire in this week. Extremely dry conditions and dry fuels continue to create mini fire hazards all over the region. Soil conditions are also rather dry and the prospects of any rain is welcomed. Its been stated before that this is not the best time of year to start drought conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly where this is, the building on the right is Weaver's Market, on M-154 and the dirt road on the left is Vokes, my grandparents live in the NE end of the island directly across from Algonac.

wisconsinwx Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Blah, cold rain it probably is for most of next week. I just ask for one round of either t'storms or an inch or two of snow. Is that too much to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 gfs is a big lol...shows like 70F on Weds and has rain from Mon-Weds (well over an inch)... Like the temps... GFS is surging the surface front north through the lakes, but the Euro keeps the front stalled to the south. Both models are now mild through Monday, but the Euro crashes the temps to the upper 30s Tues/Wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yeah...i don 't buy the GFS at all...especially the 6z... Lots of uncertainty right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 GFS is surging the surface front north through the lakes, but the Euro keeps the front stalled to the south. Both models are now mild through Monday, but the Euro crashes the temps to the upper 30s Tues/Wed. 12z GFS does the same thing, but basically a full day earlier than the 00z and 06z run. With the NAO and AO looking like they'll still be negative early-mid next week, not sure if the system will be able to blast that far north.

daddylonglegs Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 It could be my untrained eyes, but it sure looks like the GFS is waaaaaay far north on the low next week, while the Euro keeps it down in far S IL... crazy crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Tomorrow shaping up to be the warmest so far this year. 70 still looks like a possibility if we get enough sun. If not, then chop a few degrees off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 High of only 42° today and that was at 1am before the winds shifted onshore. 61°, 50% chance of showers for my point tomorrow. Plenty of moisture in the lower Lakes on the 18z GFS in the next 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
