Chicago Storm Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Dark here as well with low ceilings. Temperatures in the mid 40s still. Seeing the convection downstate again really makes me wonder how far the warm front will really get today... Warm front is currently between I-80 and I-88, steadily pushing north.

Geos Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 #freetropical I see the 60s now south of I-88. Front making progress. Was near an inch of rain when I left home just before 8am. Probably going to end up with over 1.5" by tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just drove up from the West side of Indy about an hour ago through that first wave of storms in Central In. A few nice CG's. Nothing severe, no wind at all. But boy did it come down in buckets. Pitch black out, and super intense rain. I haven't seen rain that intense for that long since I lived in the south 5 years ago and a quick 4inch downburst in the low country wasn't uncommon. White River is up to the top of it's banks. Roads are flooded. Hwy 28 was down to one lane in some parts of town with 8-10 inches of standing water. Couldn't see the grass in half of my 1 acre yard. 1.85 (some of that was from earlier, I didn't check on my way out) in my guage when I arrived home ...... I mean my new "lakefront" home. Seeing some small breaks in the clouds already. Give me a few hours of sun and hopefully the party gets started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Raining again with the weakening line of storm moving to the northeast. Low 40s in Racine and now upper 40s into NE Lake County. Thinking low 60s for a brief period of time, but probably nothing beyond that up this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 What a big temperature difference in Southern Ontario and Western New York. 37F here in Toronto and 65F in Buffalo. Niagara on the Lake, Ontario is 44F and 50km (31 Miles) south in Fort Erie Ontario its 65F. I know spring brings in some incredible temperature variations in short distances but this is one of the higher ones I've seen in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Winter Storm warning with 7-12" in my p&c forecast. Doesn't sound as exciting as what's goin on in the south tho. I fully expect this to be my last Winter headline event until the Fall. Bring on Spring! Be safe everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Solid t-storm rolled through early morning. Sounded like we might have gotten some tiny hail too at one point That one was a good one, probably the first real thunderstorm so far. Had the best rainfall rates so far this year with some nice lightning too. Didn't look like much on radar at the time but there were some good downpours.

hawkeye_wx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Late this afternoon I finally got lucky and had a thin line of storms train over me. I picked up 1.25" of rain. Until this storm, I had only received a total of 1 inch of rain since March 1st and only 0.04" this week. It was great seeing some hail fall again. The 0.75" pieces were the biggest I've seen in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Only 0.17" of rain here at the house today. The heavy rain event this week has been an epic fail here, with only 0.21" total the last four days. Made it to 77, with the dew peaking at 65.

Powerball Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 So hilariously, 4/9/15 and 4/10/15 will be the 2 warmest days of the year-to-date for Detroit, both with possibly Midnight highs (of 65*F?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 What a way to end Winter. Temp is forecasted to be 60 on Sunday. I'm ready! hearing reports of 12-14" just west of here in the higher elevations on the Baraga/Mqt county line. Winds really gusting too. Closing in on 11" here. Snow depth around 32" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 still snowing, 31 degrees. Such a wet and heavy snow, I'm tempted to just let it melt off rather than do any clearing. I'm so done with it. This storm put me over the 200" mark up this way. MQT will now be around 177" I think after the climo updates tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yep, at 3am high of 68*F. The there was an official Midnight high of 65*F on 4/9/15, both of which are Detroit warmest days of the year so far. Yet the previous warmest day of the year had a daytime high which actually underachieved, lol Hey, we made it to 68 this morning!
