Ottawa Blizzard Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 HRRR continues to advertise a 6-8" swath from Grimsby through the GTA(including N/E burbs). Amounts drop off once you hit Pickering/Ajax. Including northeast Scarborough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 71 degrees, full sun, and strong southwest winds. About 30 degrees warmer than this time yesterday, and 45 degrees warmer than just 9hrs ago. Des Moines torching at 80. Yeah, usual hot spot Des Moines is 80 now. Cedar Rapids is at 77, so even we have a shot at 80. The local mets have been way under-forecasting today's temp. The euro saw the warmth days ago, but even it way underdid the temp. Unfortunately, the euro says we won't even hit 50 again until next Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the euro says we won't even hit 50 again until next Sunday. Yeah it's a classic over-performer setup. Excellent mixing, very dry air, dry ground/virtually no ambient transpiration, favorable westerly winds, incoming cool front, and 850s increasing up through sunset. Looks like highs may occur in the 5-6pm range for many locations, so still several hours to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Pattern looks really crappy this week. 40s and 50s for highs through at least friday and probably saturday. Doesn't look much better after that timeframe either . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Looking at the EURO on my phone - it looks like it is showing snow on Thursday night and then on Saturday morning, especially west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natester Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 13 hours ago, it was 25F in Cedar Rapids. Right now it's 79F in Cedar Rapids, a rise of 54 degrees!

blizzardof96 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 EC upped amounts a bit for Toronto. Also nudged the warning to include Halton and southern Wellington County.. Even with the increase, they're probably being too conservative given the bearish RGEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Mid 60s throughout the area from Milwaukee on southward. 42° difference since 1 am this morning! 72 here, up from 23 this morning. 49 point difference with the temp still increasing. Incredible. Not sure I have seen such a drastic "cold to warm" swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Not the case here. Been melting on contact near Lawrence and Yonge since it started here an hour ago. I can see it accumulating on the grass adjacent to the 401 on the highway cams. Shouldn't be a problem for you guys much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
