Jet Stream Rider Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 No rain here at all yet. I'm a little surprised because yesterday (Thursday) afternoon it looked probable, but nothing. Then this morning I thought we'd get some but it all stayed south and pushed east, clearing now. Still looks like we will get some tonight into tomorrow.

metalicwx366 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Only .28 here overnight,what happened to the rounds of heavy rain forecasted? More hype and hysteria as usual trying to get the public worked up. It was just an April fools joke just like our current forecast here.Cloudy and 81. Sun came out for a bit earlier. Might actually get some light rain now instead of sprinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 This sounds a little ominous for tonight. If it pans out, I'm going to be glad our rainfall was on the lighter side. FCST SOUNDINGS INDICATE A 3000-4000 FT DEEP MIXED LAYER WITH 45 KT WESTERLY FLOWTHEREIN. IN THE ABSENCE OF A NOCTURNAL INVERSION...ONE WOULD EXPECTWESTERLY WINDS SUSTAINED AT 20-30 MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40-50MPH...THOUGH THE PRESENCE OF A WEAK/SHALLOW NOCTURNAL INVERSIONWOULD INHIBIT MIXING AND RESULT IN WESTERLY WINDS ON THE ORDER OF 15-20 MPH GUSTING UP TO 30 MPH. INTERESTINGLY...FCST SOUNDINGS SHOWBROKEN/OVERCAST CEILINGS DEVELOPING FOR A FEW HRS AROUND 06ZTONIGHT...SUGGESTING DOWNWARD IR FROM CLOUD COVER MAY WEAKEN THESHALLOW NOCTURNAL INVERSION AND ALLOW A PERIOD OF ENHANCED MIXINGAFTER MIDNIGHT.

Solak Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Kinda surprised at the lack of wind or even gusts, given what had been mentioned in the recent AFDs/forecasts. Not complaining, because we don't need any more trees down. I know 60-70 were common in Indiana last night, and they were restricting traffic on the bay bridge... glad we dodged the wind bullet.
