My excitement about the Sunday system is fading a bit as the euro is focusing all the good snow well north in MN/WI.

The much warmer weather is finally only about a week away now, so that's something to look forward to.

Euro has 70s up to I-80 in the DVN cwa Thursday.  Also has 100 degree heat in southwest Oklahoma.  I'm gonna take in, and enjoy the snow Sunday/early Monday as there's a good chance we won't see the next flakes until November.  Certainly don't expect anymore accumulating snows after this weekend.

Rockford IL hit 16 this morning. As best I can tell, this is the 5th coldest temperature on record so late in the season. 

ORD hit 20, and INL dropped to 4.

Tonight looks to be the last cold night. Some locations in the Upper Midwest could drop near 0, where there is snow cover.

DVN hit 14° With a low W.C. of 2° this morning

MLI hit 17° With a low W.C. of 5° this morning

 

All this with 0% snow cover on the ground in April. Impressive! 

Agree...helped along by above normal snow cover in the source region of the airmass. Not as much modification of the airmass as you’d typically see in April.

Despite wave after wave of arctic air and temps dropping down into the low 20’s and upper teens, the grass is refusing to give up, greening up pretty nicely. Hopefully after the next few days, we can turn the page to spring. 

 

While the wintry pattern has been fun, and I’ve never seen 3-4” of snow on Easter, I’m ready. We have yet to record a 70 degree reading. Gonna dig through some stats, but I can’t recall within the last 10 years we have failed to reach 70 this late. Maybe 2009?

Wonder what kind of summer we will have. If we have a 2009 esque summer, people are going to lose their minds.

DAY has hit the 70s only twice in February. There has never been an April when temps fail to reach 70 the entire month. Gut feeling this is going to be the first April ever not to have any 70-degree days. The record low maximum April temperature is 73 degrees in 1998 which has a chance to be broken by the end of this month.

Enjoy your 70+ day later next week.
