RCNYILWX Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 hit 71 earlier today, then down to 49 around 5pm, now back up to 63 and still rising. Rain totals haven't panned out here. Not even close. Rain totals have been lower than expected so far, but there is a large complex of showers/storms lifting northeast from central IL that looks like it'll make it up this way. We'll see how much additional rain we can add from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Enjoying the last little bit of warmth and springlike humidity, as the party will be over soon. Still very nice out there with temps and dews in the low 60s, and breezy south winds. Tomorrow is gonna suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 It's been pouring here for the last 15 minutes here. Will probably be close to 0.75" for the day. As of 9:30pm - 0.76" has fallen today. 1.02" for the whole event so far. Picture of some ground fog earlier today. Ground was quite warm and it was steaming as the cold rain started.

Chicago Storm Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Quite a change in temps here today... Made it up to 69 around 12:30. The lake breeze hit and dropped it back to the upper 40's-low 50's for the rest of the afternoon/evening. Bottomed out at 45 around 7:30...and have now jumped from 46 to 60 in the past 15min. Should continue upward into the mid-60's based on OBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Still holding onto 60 here, but front is only a few miles away. Just across the river in Clinton it's down to 48 now. Finished the event with 0.96". Nice, but a far cry from the 2-3" the models advertised for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Widespread 3-5" of rain fell across east-central and northeast Iowa. My total is up to 4.39", and it's not quite over. This is our heaviest rain event in years. The wind is really howling now as the temp drops into the 30s. We may get a little snow before it's done.

Mogget Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Snowing nicely in Madison. Might be half an inch or so on the car top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 we had about 1.5 inches here last night and then a couple torrential downpours in t storms already this evening. Amazing the difference between here and your area. This result is pretty standard with these well developed systems. This is why I don't typically enjoy these well developed systems. Models try to sucker me into them by putting 1-2" of QPF here yet we will end up with <0.5". This particular storm system has been even worse with <0.05" IMBY (I just missed the rogue 5 minute storm Saturday evening by 1 mile). Everything else has remained pretty much north and west of 69. Knowing is half the battle and I know these type of systems results IMBY. I still hate it but I know it is going to happen (shame on me for hoping differently ) . Outside of MBY the models seemed to do pretty darn well for areas to my west and north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Woeful underperformer here. The front is rolling through right now and so far we've recorded the big T. I hope the secondary does better or I will only see six flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Have picked up 1.22" from this whole storm. Now it's just cold, cloudy and damp out. Only a 30% chance of snow in the grid for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 4.52" of rain here, our biggest event since August 2009. We needed rain and we sure got it. The system was an underperformer along/southeast of the low track, but an overperformer nw of the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 4.52" of rain here, our biggest event since August 2009. We needed rain and we sure got it. The system was an underperformer along/southeast of the low track, but an overperformer nw of the track. models were slowly but consistently shifting the heaviest QPF axis NW into your area in the days leading up to the event...wouldn't call it much of an underperformer as the writing was on the wall.
