Hoosier Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Actually, working in the garden tomorrow. Should be dried out enough. Regardless, 80's this time of the year are completely useless to me. Well, better than 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It's a coming.. up to 64 a top Mt Waukegan. 51 and free AC lake breeze here is on borrowed time now. It's like an early July night out there across most of Wisconsin. Tomorrow will be the first 80+ day since 9-12-2012. Late April is one of the best times to have a +23 daytime high departure.. 82 is warm but nothing intolerable like if it was a +23 July day and 103 outside. 50's and low 60's return wed through next Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Very electrically active t-storm here this morning. Nice continuous flashing and rumbling. Lots of pea sized hail too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Low was 59F this morning... What makes heat tolerable in the spring is dew points are still low enough not to grease up my underpants too bad. Unlike July with 70F+ dews... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Only got down to about 66 this morning. I love being able to finally walk outside comfortably in the morning. We have only had a tenth of an inch of rain since the 18th. I was hoping for something decent early this week, but it keeps getting pushed back. It may be Thursday before we see any.

wisconsinwx Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yuck to this forecast today of 84. Swamp *** heat. So much for having a cool April. Much of our negative departure will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Today=fail...worst thing about hot days in the spring it seems is hurricane winds... its not even fun sitting outside when sand is blowing in your face. Can't believe the growth in trees just overnight. All the buds on the trees are swelling and some of my younger apples have small leaves...the lilacs are totally covered in green leaves. Interesting thing this year...the apricots usually flower long before the apples...i wouldn't doubt if their blooms overlap this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pop for today was 0 last night! 000 FXUS63 KDTX 301429 AFDDTX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 1029 AM EDT TUE APR 30 2013 .UPDATE... NWP MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE WITH REGARDS TO THE ONGOING PRECIPITATION OVER THE WESTERN CWA. THESE MODELS ARE COMPLETELY DRY...EVEN WITH THE 12Z CYCLE...WHICH AS RADAR AND METAR REPORTS SHOW COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. THE ONLY MODEL THAT HAS ANY IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THIS THETA-E DRIVEN CONVECTION IS THE LOCAL HRRR MODEL WHICH PUSHES THESE RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH THE CWA DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THEREFORE WILL RAISE POPS SIGNIFICANTLY INTO THE CATEGORICAL RANGE AS THIS ACTIVITY SWEEPS THROUGH THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON. WITH THIS ACTIVITY AND ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL SURELY NOT GET CLOSE TO 80 AS PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED.
