LizardMafia Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Over 3.5" of rain here... Quite of a bit of high water issues around the Carmel area.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmesnow Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 My rain gauge shows 2.6. Maybe it isn't accurate since Mottster got so much more. Roads are being closed here between Zionsville and Westfield--a little late. I ended up driving through some higher water than I should have attempted.

Geos Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Barely got a 0.10" of rain this morning. Been dry since. Definitely looking like the high rainfall amounts will not be the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Been dry here all day after the early morning rain. Heavy overcast with gusty east winds and temps in the upper 30s. Pretty miserable day for April. Hope to get a few elevated storms again tonight as the storm wraps up. Might be a miss southeast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 miserable day. Cold, raw rain...yuck. Did notice another house nearby harboring some old snow still. This is the first rain of any significance this spring (0.30" at DTW) but really it is completely uneccessary as the ground is very saturated from all the snowmelt.

Geos Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 gonna end up well over an inch probably close to 2…definitely been a wet stretch here. Yeah 0.10" here so far. Maybe some convection can fire off ahead of the cold front and swipe the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Intense hydrograph from Huntington IN: I've been watching that Hydrograph all day. The river is 5 blocks from my house, which is safely on high ground. Have spent the day keeping local officials updated on the situation. Sandbagging operations have been taking place all afternoon and into tonight. The river rise has actually leveled out in the past couple of hours. Keeping a close eye on radar. Another .25" or so may not be too bad. Any more than that and Katie bar the door for a record flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The sun actually came out for just a brief passing this evening (before sunset) and now its raining pretty good. Clouds/cold all day... blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 miserable day. Cold, raw rain...yuck. Did notice another house nearby harboring some old snow still. This is the first rain of any significance this spring (0.30" at DTW) but really it is completely uneccessary as the ground is very saturated from all the snowmelt. I wouldn't say completely unnecessary ... it is nice to was some of that snow mold off ... though there wasn't enough rain to get rid of it around here. I actually had IP/ZR most of the day with minor accumulation even on trees. I think the breeze off the frozen lake here help keep my temps down.

Chinook Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Evansville Indiana, radar location estimated up to 8.2" of rain from this storm. Indy radar estimated only about 6" at that same area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 This system turned into nothing but a 10-minute thundershower for us. This part of Iowa got stuck in no-man's-land, between the deformation zone well to the nw and the heavy storms well to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Crazy to to think models were showing an inch plus of rain a couple of days ago and now we're stuck with an occluding front with no precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This part of Iowa got stuck in no-man's-land, between the deformation zone well to the nw and the heavy storms well to the south. Yeah considering how much this storm system had to offer our areas pretty much fell between the cracks. Areas south and east cashed in, just like they did all winter.

dmc76 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 0.10" of precip through out this whole event. I thought for sure 0.50"+ at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 0.10" of precip through out this whole event. I thought for sure 0.50"+ at least. I have learned over the years that these systems the QPF never get as far north at modeled. Typically the warm front will stall well south of the Great Lakes. Models surge it north way to fast. This storm has done what 95% of the storms like this do in this area. If the trend is remains the same today we will get some additional rains but the end result will be nothing close to what was originally modeled (i.e. well over 1" rains). FYI ... this morning I heard a little ice crackling n the trees as my temp was 32F ... ... this is pretty localized because I am getting a breeze off the frozen lake in my area which must be helping keep me just below freezing. As I drove away from my house the car temp went up to 33 within 2 miles. EDIT: Before I get 50 responses about other areas and that the models did great for your area. My comments are specifically talking about DMC76 and MBY areas (i.e. Oakland and Livingston Counties in MI). I am not trying to review model performance in other areas!!!!

Geos Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Quite foggy this morning here. Temp has been creeping up as the warm front approaches. 38° currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Instead of model forecasted 3 days of "real" rain here (Wed-Fri), it was in reality, about a 12 hour deal. Granted we got it good during those 12 hours. And the local forecaster's call of upper 60's/low 70's for yesterday and today was a spectacular failure. Par for the course.

hawkeye_wx Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 My rain total for this event is 0.31". It is nasty out there today... cloudy, damp, very windy, and cold.

It happens often. It was all cold stratiform rain though, so not many people really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
