H2Otown_WX Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Looks like the core of the coldest air will be over Minnesota, I'm not expecting it to fall much below 10. Shouldn't you eastern time zone people be in bed by now??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'll end up 19th or better after day 3 pending the winds...I'm hoping they squeezed out 25 or 26 knots after the afternoon climo report. I have my doubts they'll get down to 6 tonight but I'll find out when I wake up.Climo report has 25 knots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Currently in a trophy position right now for first time in the whole year, but anything can happen between now and 6z of the last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 A lot less clouds over the area than I thought....should probably make it to 30 if not higher. Edit: 850 temps are falling though so it will interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 As long as clouds stay at worst partly cloudy. We should see a high of 31-33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Only went up to 22 this hour and skies are now broken. If they clear back out 30+ is still possible, it's early, but my 28 may still have hope if they have trouble getting sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think 26-29 is the most realistic high for today which would give me yet another solid day to finish the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If 29/10/10/0 holds for day 4 I'll get knocked back to 20th after the first week for GFK. Could be worse I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Another newbie question. If I'm holding the wild card spot, am I still forecasting after Grand Forks onto Springfield or am I done since I didn't get the seeding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Another newbie question. If I'm holding the wild card spot, am I still forecasting after Grand Forks onto Springfield or am I done since I didn't get the seeding? The top 40 people in categories 1-4 that didn't get seeded, forecast for 4 days at SGF. The top 8 people in each category after the 4th day move on to the tournament.

Graupel Flux Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 6z low tomorrow is going to interesting to say the least. Only a 17 degree difference between the 18z GFS and 12z NAM, piece of cake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 25/4/26/0....Probably one of the tougher forecasts I've done. Hoping for calming winds and a strong inversion forming over the snow pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 25/9/24/0 Low gets cold between 4 and 6z but doesn't fall as hard as the models are after. Wind blown dry snow and tapering rates will leave the bucket dry (or close to it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is that latest wind gust legit? 25/7/28/0.00 If skies go clear faster tomorrow, temps could reach the upper 20s. I might be high on the wind, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is that latest wind gust legit? Thinking not, if it's a sonic anemometer it makes sense . If it's a rotary (pinwheel) anemometer, then it would happen if the propeller froze then all the sudden broke free. Either way, the gust is likely not legit. Though the observer on duty should correct the ob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 27/7/27/0 Not sure on any of the variables. For the low, I think they can get below 0 tomorrow night, but the models showed the winds staying up until close to 6z. So, I'm not sure they'll crater by 6z, and just went near what I thought the middle would be. For the wind, the models showed the mid-level winds and pressure gradient weakening after 6z. Given they're sustained at 26 knots now, if winds do indeed start backing off a bit after 4z I think I'll be in good shape on the winds. For the high, using a little imagination I can see them getting into the upper 20's if they mix effectively. But, given fresh snow pack that may bust for me. 925mb and 850mb temps do warm during the day and there should be a good amount of sun so we'll see.
