Hoosier Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Looks beautiful Bo. 22 for the low at LAF this morning. Technically a record for the date (24 in 1992), but lots of missing data at LAF throughout the years. Chad calling for 72 on Saturday. Rejoice.

weathergy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 EDIT: 3 grass fires reported around the region. I remember I think the summer of '05 I think? It got really dry around here, and a grass fire started out of nowhere in this old woman's backyard next door in Allen Park. It's a good thing we noticed it and put it out with a garden hose because it was right next to a wooden garage and fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The result of a decently dry March is showing its ugly face around these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosaints Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nope...it further north? or does it show snow! North with temps at least in the mid 50s.. Been that way consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 GFS is hopefully outlier...6z GFS was borderline with rain/snow...12z is a little warmer... Hopefully the Euro is right...still a few days for the track to shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 The result of a decently dry March is showing its ugly face around these parts. I remember early last spring you had some grass fires in the area as well. Edit: Too wet around here for fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Winter precip was pretty good so even with the dry March, things are not that dry yet. This is the wrong time to year to start a downward slide so hopefully things become wetter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Multiple grass fires are being reported around SeMI. Very dry around these parts. Dewpoint is 11 right now and it is quite windy, so I am not too surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hoosier's heat fetish is secretly hoping for no rain, for anyone, between now and September. Excessive dryness would probably reduce our chances of 80 degree dewpoints. What would you rather have...100 degree temps or 80 degree dewpoints?

Hoosier Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nearly a 10 degree spread between Chad and NWS for Saturday. Given the setup with southerly flow and sun I'd be inclined to lean toward the warmer side. Should be our first real shot at 70 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Excessive dryness would probably reduce our chances of 80 degree dewpoints. What would you rather have...100 degree temps or 80 degree dewpoints? None of the above? Nearly a 10 degree spread between Chad and NWS for Saturday. Given the setup with southerly flow and sun I'd be inclined to lean toward the warmer side. Should be our first real shot at 70 this year. Time to plant the garden.

Chicago WX Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Fun fact...only 4 of the last 47 days, including today, have had a positive daily departure at LAF. One day was dead nuts normal. 20 of those days had a negative double digit departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nearly a 10 degree spread between Chad and NWS for Saturday. Given the setup with southerly flow and sun I'd be inclined to lean toward the warmer side. Should be our first real shot at 70 this year. I'd split the difference and go with around 68°. Probably will only get into the low 60's out east (MBY). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Point for Saturday. That's a site for sore eyes. Saturday A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Made it to 42° today. Thursday is currently looking the warmest around here. Point: Sunny, with a high near 59. West southwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West southwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. That 59 looks mighty nice! Looking up here as well... nothing "warm" but with April sun angle, should see daytime melting and nightly refreezing of the snowpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 38F today... Bow..this was the Fox River this past Friday: For 2.5 days of fishing, they had 5 fish over 7lbs... biggest being 10pounds...all big females full of spawn... The boats were so close that they had lines tangled with other fishermen a few times... At night I guess it looked like the 4th of July (full of boats/boat lights even at 9pm)... Guys were lining the shore like their was a salmon run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 18z GFS basically kills much of the previously predicted warm up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwburbschaser Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Good thing it's only the 18z GFS. Models have been backing off the warm up, but I also wonder if the pattern change is throwing things off a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 This isn't the best pic, but this one was over 7lbs.. Fox River pig...i guess they are all off of L Michigan...must be a lot of food out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
