Last year it seemed like March was three months long, and then the last week of November seemed to continue for endless months as well. Subjectively for me it was unrelenting gloom, felt like vacationing in Scotland. Constant freeze thaw. Never wet enough to justify the full on overboots, but damp enough that with three pairs of workboots in rotation the first would dry in time for the third to come home soaked. Maybe just bad luck that this winter and an extensive below-grade excavation coincided, so there was no getting out of it. Should have bought the GI moon boots.

cyclone77 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Looks like mid 60s Thu & Fri here, and then 70s Mon & Tue. This time next week I suspect the leaves will be creeping out of their swollen buds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to finally have some sun hit the skin Should enjoy the solid stretch the next week or so because it seems the general look Easter weekend into the following week is the ridge shifts east and we may be in the volatile zone of storms. Would truly be something if we had a wintry threat around my bday for the third straight year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I can't believe how many decent sized Midwest cities are reporting freezing rain during the middle of the day (thankful we are on the warm side of things and will not be seeing freezing rain). Rochester and Minneapolis, MN; Des Moines, IA; Kansas City, etc. all reporting it right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The front ended up being faster than models originally predicted, so just about our entire day has been cold. We have fallen to the mid 30s as light rain moves in. Tuesday will likely be the warmest day of the year (70s to near 80), but it will be followed by more cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Made it to 65 here. CF passed about 2:30 or so, and have since dropped back to 50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro shows over 1500J/Kg of cape, so hopefully we can get some good convection later in the day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Nah, models are being negatively affected right now due to lack of aircraft data. Wouldn't put much stock into them past D3 at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
