hawkeye_wx Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The model trend toward this cutoff low moving out to the east rather than up through the lakes should be positive for the weekend. The Euro has a couple cold-arse days, but then it wraps mild air around the north side over the weekend. The 00z has it back up to the low 60s for Saturday and Sunday around here and well into the 60s for much of the rest of the forum region. I think we'd be getting out of this thing pretty easy if two crappy days is all we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnweather Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 At 7 AM this morning, the cooperative observer in Dodge Center MN reported 15.4 inches. If this record is confirmed by the Minnesota State Climate Extremes committee, it would surpass the May daily snowfall record for the state of Minnesota. This record currently stands at 12 inches in St Cloud (May 17 1890), Windom (May 8 1938), and 8 miles north of Leonard (May 3 1954). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 From NWS Kansas City...amazing. Besides the snow, Kansas City could set a monthly record lowest max temp today...and then subsequently break it tomorrow! A historical May snowstorm continues to impact the region providing one of the latest measured snows in recorded history. This storm system is due to the development of an anomalously strong storm system which has already brought near to below freezing temperatures and record snows to portions of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest. Locally, this system has already broken records on May 2nd as the high temperature of 41 degrees in Kansas City not only broke the record lowest high temperature for this date (48 in 1917), but has also temporarily broken the previous month of May lowest high temperature of 43 degrees back on May 5th, 1944. Why do we say temporarily? Well forecast high temperatures for Friday May 3rd are only in the 30s. This will again break the monthly record for Kansas City. Regarding snowfall, with a trace of snow in Kansas City, this is only the third time we've experienced snow during the month of May. Should measureable snow occur (greater than a trace), it would be the second time in recorded history for measurable snow to be reported in Kansas City during May. If we receive a trace or more of snow on May 3rd, this would represent the latest recorded snowfall in Kansas City history. When is the last time it snowed this late in the year in recent history? A quick check of historical records indicates that the last time is snowed this late in the year was April 21, 1992. Here is a roundup of potential statistics during this event: Kansas City Climatology: Date: Average High: Average Low: Record Low: Max Min: May 2nd 71 50 31 (2005) 48 (1917) May 3rd 71 50 30 (1976) 47 (1935, 1954) May 4th 71 51 27 (1907) 45 (1935) Snow Stats: Latest measureable snowfall: 1.7” May 3rd 1907 Latest trace of snow: May 1st, 1909 Lastest measureable snow on record prior to today: April 21, 1992 Seasonal Snowfall: 31.3” Climatological Average: 18.8” Last Year Snowfall: 3.9” Climatological Temperatures: Month(s): Avg Temp: Departure from Normal: Climo Winter (DJF): 33.7 +2.5 January: 32.8 +4.0 February: 32.4 -1.1 March: 37.8 -6.4 (16th coldest on record) April: 49.8 -5.0 (8th coldest on record) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 What truly puts this event in perspective for me is that some of us haven't even experienced a snow event this year that was half the depth of what parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota just experienced in May. 18" just east of Hayward, where our best local event for some of us is in the 6-9" range. An extra bonus here: I think that's Bowme's wife, or could it be Daddy's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 IF it is BowMe's wife, we need to get together more often! as long as she wears that out ice fishing Can't beat these cutoff lows..just wish it would last longer...maybe another one can come through in another week to 10 days...stay longer..maybe more rain next time.

Jim Marusak Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 where was the end music from "the man show" for that clip? but as for this low, cut-offs make for bad headaches. and there's more snow on my car right snow than when we had the winter storm warning 2 days ago. i just love how momma nature tells us who's #1.
