bluewave Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We finally get something closer to a spring day today with the areas away from the immediate shore going back into the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Forecast low was 37, made it down to 33. Sunshine and deep blue skies out there right now with the current temp at 37, a beautiful morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine and deep blue skies out there right now with the current temp at 37, a beautiful morning. Nice, made it down to 37.5° here last night. Like I was telling Bluewave, I think freezing temps are probably done for the metro (excluding you guys), but frost/temps in the mid-30's might make a few more guest appearances. Classic April day IMO, go from 30's at night to 60's during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncat Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Measurable rain past three days but only amounted to 0.20" here...looking to get upwards of an inch or so to start the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised you're that low, over an inch here. GGEM is 2"+ while GFS is about half that next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Much nicer day today compared to yesterday, current temp 64 after a high of 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Friday alone was over a half inch. The vegetation is coming in very lush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Latest GFSx is +8 (64 vs. 56) for the next 7 days and this would complete the month of April. 22x4.1 = 90 8x7 = 56 and making today neutral, would get us close to the 150deg. surplus we need to finish April as the warmest ever.

bluewave Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 April temperature departures will get a boost when 80's return to close out the month. Be interesting to see if the 90's showing up now down near SNJ can shift further north in later runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Record heat back in the 70's was really short lived. We had 20's before the record April warmth and 30's after. The record heat in the summer of 77 was focused into about 10 days in July.

It seems that the rains have been closer to the coast recently and that could be the case again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I'm just a little north of you but yeah, it's been plenty wet this year. Hey, all you city people that are counting on having water to drink this year are getting off easy. We're getting doused while you enjoy springtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 The best part about this current system is that it's not a quick flip back to wet and then dry again, we literally have rain chances almost every other day for the next two weeks. The ensembles are showing an above average rainfall pattern right through the first week in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Last 6 days of April should average +9 (66 vs. 57) 3.7x24 = 89 9.0x6 = 54 This is still just shy of the 150 estimate we need to be the warmest April ever. Average April 53.0 April 2010 record is 57.9. So we need +5x30 = 150degs. surplus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer a nice stretch of 70+ and sun, with an occasional rainy day to keep us from drying up. Had about .06" of rain this morning. We'll see how much the afternoon can produce.

We just had a nice stretch, Saturday is going to feel like mid June so get out and enjoy it. Saturday night we could have some storm activity, and then Sunday looks cloudy with the warm front ahead of the cold front passage on Monday which at the moment looks rather robust. Then we have another approaching trough with the possibility of a surface low enhancing things towards the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, as long as it's not a cold rain like today, I don't mind too much. Some pretty heavy showers came through recently in the form of a couple short bursts.

RedSky Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Parched landscape here only about .50" last two and a half weeks, every single rain chance has failed can't wait to see if this last one manages to fold somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
