daddylonglegs Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Rain looks insane. Good luck. Heavy stuff stays far south of here (not that we need it either)... COD has really become the go to site for me. Great looking models graphics, not to forget to mention radars, etc. Kudos to those gals/guys.

Geos Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 GFS not as wet as the NAM, but still 4-5" amounts showing up. 2" line further northwest towards DLL. For today it made it to 67°, warmest day of the year so far. 0.24" of rain. Up to 2.54" of rain this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Could be a lot worse: Funny you should post that. I picked the "best" time to be in Fairbanks, Alaska. We had a -21 reading the other day (the coldest April temp in 20 years) and a record low the next day. It's beautiful up here ... deep snow, brutal temps but minimal to no wind, clear skies now, but a snowstorm last Tuesday. The Northern Lights displays have been incredible. Flying back home to the lower 48 will be a shock to the senses this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 consensus on a widespread 3"+ event for all of northern IL and southern WI is impressive. You have to imagine flood headlines of some kind aren't that far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get little tastes of what you all up there have been experiencing this month. Otherwise, it's a torch-fest down here this April. Nothing wrong with a little variety.
