hawkeye_wx Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 A line of heavy showers this evening boosted my daily total to 0.94". My April rain total is 6.68". As wet as this month was, it still only ranks third out of the last five Aprils. I've only had one slightly below average April in the last eleven years.

Hoosier Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 64 in Valpo and 50 here. Seems like this type of gradient has happened a few times this year. Should eventually get a brief surge in temps here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Another month gone, another warmest month on record. April was the warmest on record for Cleveland with an average temp of 57.4. That's 1.4 degrees warmer than the previous warmest April of 2010. April had 7 days at or above 80, which ties for most on record. Most impressive, is that the past three months were the warmest on record as well. It was 0.6 degrees warmer than the infamous torchy 2012 period. 2012 was 1.4 degrees warmer than the previous record. So the extremes are getting more extreme.

Past 3 months were 3.4F above normal here. You were 6.4F above normal. That's a huge difference for a short distance. I'm using Lansing numbers.

I'm using Lansing numbers. The warmest anomalies were to the south and east. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Lexington all had their warmest Feb-April period on record. It looks like Lansing had their second warmest on record. ORD, DTW, MKE, and IND also had their second warmest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that Lansing had the second warmest period while one of the 3 months actually posted a negative anomaly (March), albeit slight.

I use this site: http://www.sercc.com/perspectivesmap?region=mrcc There's a wealth of climate information there by adjusting parameters and selecting individual sites.

I must have mixed in GR figures and didn't select the right station. Should be +4.86F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
