WxUSAF Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 12z GFS marine layers us on Saturday then goes all TORCHPRIL on our butts for Sunday-Thursday. Near 70F on Sunday and Monday and then near 80F the other three days? Sleeping with the windows open kind of weather at night too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 im not sure how we were supposed to hit mid to upper 50s with light winds and a wedge and no warm air within 1500 miles...though I guess DCA could get to 53 or so yeah, i dunno.. i hedged down in pm update y-day from prior but mos was close to 50 today so not sure why forecasts were warmer than mos initially. only around 40 in charlotte with rain.

Bob Chill Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Euro not toasteriffic after 70'ish Monday. Around 60 on Tues and then right back to low 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 big question next week is probably just if we see rain/clouds etc. euro still looks pretty mild overall but i kinda doubt we run 70+ all work week like some are hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 haha....awesome...people are going to be suicidal April is a tricky warmth month. Cool air is always lurking close by from several sources. Get good easterly fetch and 850's don't even matter anymore. Get a cloudy day and it cancels a torch. A modest but subtle push of lower heights out of canada and everything changes. I kind of alluded to this in my post in the disco thread. Unless there's a solid trough out west or some sort of stable se ridge then it's really hard to get 4+ days of solid + departures this month. I love 50's and low 60's. You'll never hear me complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Winter won't stop! Heavy snow right now. Haha! Yeah I see on traffic cams ground is white just south of you towards Blacksburg. At least you get to report another "T" welcome to April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Chilly near the water but once you get more inland it feels much warmer. (and no, I do not want to hear about how it supposed to be chilly/cold in April ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 A western trough and SE ridge looks exactly like what's setting up for next week. Euro says no to the se ridge part. It's all convoluted. Euro has a big nasty ULL up north between the maritimes and greeland towards the end of the run and a big strong surface HP in central canada and really cold pool of 850's se of hudson bay in the middle of next week. If I had to pick sides on which features are going to win between the gfs/euro, I'm thinking just like zwyts. We may have a warm day or 2 but it will be bookended by aob. April temp battleground is looking fierce next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 yeah...saw pics from blacksburg....any stickage? Sticking to dirt patches/grass and elevated surfaces. Some sleet mixing in too and it's trying to get icy on some of the sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April temp battleground is looking fierce next week. Just looked at the extended euro...its solution will indeed put the MA in the battleground. Tough forecast week if that works out, temp wise. Ukie is warm like the gfs, canadian leaning towards the EC, on the cooler side. As usual, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 SN+ It's just ripping right now. Completely unexpected. Both the NAM and the GFS had some snow for Roanoke over the past several model runs. Looks like Blacksburg was playing catch-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Baro way up there Temps. went from 52 at 5:30 to 32 at 11:30. Too bad precip couldn't get in tonight. Even with a miracle cloud up at exactly the right time we will still get to 45F at the coolest for a high. Won't work but man it feels mid Jan cold out there right now. I'll be darn about my snow musings. It's not snowing right in DC but two hours away it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffwx Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 NWS goes 1-3 entire CWA except easter. 12z models did have the snows-- both GFS and NAM. Stupid HRR is slow today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
