Geos Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Let's go with this one. --- @ Justin's post from the other thread - definitely going to have some hydrologic issues in the region. Already having issues in the area with river flooding. Pools of water cover decent sections of farmland right now. Farmers probably be able to get out into the fields until next week sometime and that's only if it warms up and stops raining then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 80/47 today +7 overall. models already backing down on frontal progression for tomorrow. Looking like upper 70s again after barely getting below 60F tonight if it rains. Unlike today DPs tomorrow are expected to be in the low 60s at least.

Brewers Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Tomorrow is looking like a much better day, possibly 60 degrees! With the low pressure system occluding to the north, the cold front really struggles to make it through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Storms southwest of here really intensifying in recent scans. Tops over 37kft now with a notable increase in lightning. Should get a decent round of storms here in an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It will be interesting to see if the NAM is onto something with the trough ejecting in two pieces. It really opens the floodgates over the Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It will be interesting to see if the NAM is onto something with the trough ejecting in two pieces. It really opens the floodgates over the Midwest. I was going to say, even though it will likely be wrong, the NAM would indicate some crazy hydrologic issues for much of the Great Lakes given a similar flooding rain type system to last week over a lot of the same areas.

Justin Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Winds really just huffed and puffed big time with nice rush of cool air....have to wonder if these storms are drying up too. Impressive looking to our southwest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is already hydrologic issues going on. GFS is not that far off from what is shown above - just a bit further east. This cloudy, cold weather doesn't help the drying of soils whatsoever. Fox River in particular is probably going to be at a significant flood stage by weeks end if 3" of rain is in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but if the week were dry, I could see those water rises subside quite a bit, but it is pretty clear that will not be the case. Tuesday looks like the only likely dry day until we get to later Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wednesday night could cause some big problems. The 12z GFS featured pwats increasing to over 1.6". For reference, that's almost off the charts for DVN RAOB climatology in April. 50% of the GEFS members had pwats over 1.25", which is in the top 10%. I worked the public shift at LOT today and highlighted Weds night hydrologic concerns in the HWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting a pretty good storm here in the next half hour or so. Wasted most of the day out in central Iowa on a "chase" of what turned out to be garbage. Hopefully these storms take away the sting of the disappointing afternoon/eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
