Geoboy645 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Man it is nasty out today. 40's, heavy rain, and high wind. It's pretty hard to get nastier weather than that this time of the year. I mean this is just pure march weather when it's almost may. This spring has sucked so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Last april around this time we had record snowfall. Aprils have been rough for many consecutive yrs now especially if you're not inland from Lake MI. Guess that's just April climo.. Throw away month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllinoisWedges Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Got some nice storms yesterday in N IL. Glad to finally see a decent supercell again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 A period of high winds looks likely from later this afternoon into Thursday morning. Looks like 50-60kts at 925mb edges in along the Lake Michigan shore counties, so will likely end up with 50-60mph gusts for those areas, with 35-50mph more common inland.

Geoboy645 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Certainly don't see this everyday from water flooding in from the great lakes. https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=grb&wwa=flood warning Apparently the Fox River is flooding to moderate stage from water being backed up because of the winds and high water levels in Green Bay.

You'd think the upper Midwest could get a warm April with frequent thunderstorms for once (especially considering how many warmer than average/below average snowfall Dec/Jans we've had), but you would be wrong.

Geoboy645 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The Lake Michigan flood gauge at Chicago is .03 ft away from setting a new record. The gauge says 3.8 but there is a preliminary record of 4.45 from last year. Again something you don't see everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Pretty miserable day, with temps in the 40s most of the day and cold rain. Picked up 0.29". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear God water level is at 584' Green Bay gets pretty deep farther north, but near the city it gets really shallow really quick which is why it floods so easily. Also doens't help that the Green Bay area is one of the few widespread low areas of shoreline on that side of the lake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying the flooding is local at the river's mouth, but the gauge they are using is some bouy way out in the bay? Never seen anything like that tbh..

UMB WX Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Still raining. winds whipping the rain around like you'd hope in january. March and April have to be the most useless months for cold haters especially coming off a nothern climate winter. O, well, deal with it. its, climo... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Another cold soaker of rain here today. I think I'm the outlier here in that I'll always welcome a late April washout as it makes the morel mushroom/spring garden season so much better I chased the same supercell that IllinoisWedges chased yesterday. No tornadoes but I had a bunch of fun regardless. I captured this insane lightning bolt on my dash cam on the way home. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of reminds me of the very thread-the-needle blizzard we got in Jan 1995. Very narrow area of well over a foot, while areas on either side got nothing. Was also a long lasting deform/trowel like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we living still, homies. Still ripping rain against the house.. This has been a tame storm punch, but in the end there would have been 20-30" amounts of snow.

UMB WX Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Days like today are even hard to come buy in off winter months. Go figure we finally get one now. I'm stoked for the upcoming wx though.

UMB WX Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 ****ing croakers in the background all night. Whoever thinks rain in april over snow is better needs a brain exam living in my climo.

UMB WX Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 precip hasn't been a problem of late in winter. Its the timing thats been all ****ed up for yrs to get what we all come here for, snow We share winter through, MSF scrap winter storms now. Where do we go from here? That magnet and crap winter climo is sure to run out. Helter Skelter winters? I'd love to MAGA believe our climo isn't changing beneath our eyes. Hah. Them 1970's winters made me in to the snow weenie I am. Them days have sailed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
