cyclone77 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Looking forward to a nice soaking rain tomorrow. Anywhere from 3/4-1" of rain looks likely. Would love some thunder, but looks like that's not in the cards this go around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Closing in on a half inch of rain. Should make an inch the way it's looking. Steady light rain, with regular intervals of moderate rain. Grass is still brown. Need to get some thunder up here if we're going to get any greening up of that of any consequence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I am nearing a half inch as well. Most of the rain is very light. I don't think we'll make an inch here. I heard a little rumble just before 3am, but that's it. We will probably have to wait until April for any real thunderstorm activity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 1.51" of rain today. Still very light rain coming down. Biggest weather event since Jan lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Yea. This system really lacked instability, even down south. Previous ridge scoured out moisture along the GOM. First thunder will probably be after the 16th. The western GOM is progged to have more juice when next LW trough finally lifts out. The ensambles are showing SW flow developing by then. The southern plains will definitely light up, but thunder could spread further north and east if a stronger low develops and brings the warm sector up. Could also end up being a snowstorm for the GL given the uncertainty this time of year though. Until then it looks like a boring week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 0.81" of rain in my yard. I was looking forward to the first solid rain event since December, but so much of this rain was so light that it was barely noticeable from inside. It took about twenty hours to get 0.81". I'd like to skip forward a month or two when heavy rates, with lightning/thunder, are much more common. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Yesterday massively over-performed here, got to 14ºC instead of 9ºC. Today was just a few days ago suppose to be 1 and now its 8. Toronto got to 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob gonna have another cold/wussy April like per usual. Let's just skip to May and June and hope the 2% tor prob days pay off in Iowa like they have in the past 3 yrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 After 61 on Sunday was our 1st 60+ since October 29th, we hit 63 yesterday and then stayed in the 50s overnight with high dew points. I have a shaded part of the side of my wide driveway, which gets no sun, and has had some form of a snow pile since November 11th (with exception of a few days after Christmas). It with huge just a week ago, it now completely melted overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Euro is snowless through Mar. 20. Safe to say winter is over. Sucks that it practically ended as soon as the month began but after yesterday's 62F, I am looking forward to Spring now. ~53" this winter at YYZ, which is 8" above avg, so no complaints there.

Geoboy645 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Pretty much all of our snow is gone at this point. The 62 on Sunday was so nice after a winter that seemed to stretch forever and was very quick at the same time. Yesterday's rain was also pretty nice, well as nice as 40's rain can be. I can notice in some of the sunnier and warmer spots that there is some green in the grass. Helps that thanks to the "heatwave" around christmas grass wasn't that brown to begin with. I am so ready for spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherMonger Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Marginal risk for Thursdayfor a portion of the forum, CPC also has a pretty big area delineated just south of the region. Not yet in SPC range 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Interesting, usually CPC follows SPC's Day 4-8 in that outlook. Rarely seen them introduce a severe area on their own since the Day 4-8 became a thing (or do so beyond 8 days). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Woke up in the middle of the night and seeing a nice quick shot of mostly snow; radar looks pretty nice and 'spring-like': 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Fairly wintry like day by mid March standards. High this afternoon was 26, with winds gusting between 30-35 mph all day. Colder air looks to stay for a few more days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Despite what the Euro and GFS are teasing us with temperature-wise, several areas across the region that has reached up into the 60s as the highest temperature so far this year may very well be punting until next month to see the first 70-degree readings. For instance, the last time both Indianapolis and Dayton waited until April for their first 70-degree day of the year was in 2014 while Cincinnati's last time to wait until April for the first 70-degree day was in 2013. Going to be a second one of those weeks sunshine is hard to come by. This past week would have resulted with a crappy weekend if it weren't for any late morning sunshine, and hopefully the upcoming weekend does not end up worse than last weekend. According to TWC, we may very well be repeating this past January's overcast stretch starting in the final workweek of this month, only that it features days with highs in the 50s and precipitation than during the final January week. The NWS unfortunately does not count days with a trace as measurable precipitation. The record highest number of days with measurable precipitation in a March is 20 days in 1993 for DAY and CVG, while 2004 for CMH. I think this March's springtime warmth is pretty much a waste that it doesn't deserve to be considered a Morch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 At least we've hit 40º today. Unfortunately, the normal high is up to 48º. For the last month 40s have relatively mild, but now we need 50s or it's cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 So it's been snowing pretty much all morning here. We have probably an inch or two on the ground now. We were supposed to get a dusting . At least the snow is now transtioning to rain so it should all be gone in a few hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not need it to start looking like winter again with this pandemic misery going on. It'll be gone in tomorrow's 59 with rain; but then it will get even colder than it is now for Friday-Sunday. I know the winter wonderland is some posters' cuppa; but not mine, at least not before Thanksgiving or after about March 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
