IWXwx Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My hope is that that the Covid-19 model being used by the CDC is not the GFS. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyweather Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Mid April looking unseasonably cold. Let's go for one more snowfall.A mid/late April 4-6” event here in N. IL during quarantine would make the short version of my life’s highlight reel. I’d break down and tell Alexa to play some Christmas music, bake some cookies, try to get out and ski the yard. Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely okay with 60s and sun, but if it’s gotta be 40s and gray, let’s go all the way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 A look outside at 2:51 p.m. CST on April 14, 2019. Climo, time of day, sun angle, and soil (& pavement) temps be damned. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 GFS is now showing a Great Lakes snowstorm on the 14th. Maybe Grand Rapids MI finally gets the bulls-eye 8" swath after we missed it every time this winter. Now that the buds are just starting to open it's finally time for some snow. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Even if there isn't a snowstorm, these cold outbreaks in April can be interesting due to the increasing afternoon instability. Heaviest snow showers's I've ever seen in my life in Michigan have always been on April afternoons. They tend to be wet and mix with a lot of graupel though, so not much accumulation.

michsnowfreak Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Today is the 134th anniversary of detroit's 24.5" April snowstorm. Reading the Wed, April 7, 1886 Detroit Free Press account of the storm is absolutely fantastic. It was truly a strangling of wet, damp extremely deep snow that caught a city at the beginning of Spring by shock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also an April 14-15 snowstorm in much of Minnesota and Wisconsin back in 2018, so make it three consecutive years with a storm over the same two day period if it verifies.

jojo762 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I know its not within the forum region, but the Southeast sub is boring. 12Z Euro is insane for Sunday in AL/MS. 100-110kt 500mb jet streak atop a 60-70kt LLJ, juxtaposed to 67-71 degree dewpoints and steep lapse rates leading to CAPE values on the order of 2000-4000 j/kg @ 21Z. Insane. 12Z GFS is about 9 to 12 hours faster than the ECMWF (go figure) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Haven't really been following it much recently, but the CFS is showing a fairly cool May for most areas. It has constant Eastern or Lakes troughing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The last time Dayton had both at least a slightly cold April and May was in 2016, which was followed by a hot summer. Recent years prior to that were 1997, 1996, 1995, 1992, 1990, 1989, 1984, and 1983. Only 3 of those years (1995, 1989, and 1983) with a cold April and May were followed by a hot summer. Four of those years (1997, 1992, 1990, and 1984) with a cold April and May were followed by a cold summer. A cold April and May in 1996 was followed by a near normal summer.

This whole virus thing, stuck at home, and can’t even work in the yard without wearing layers is aggravating. If the weather was decent it would at least be tolerable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Not a day goes by without 20-30 mph wind. One of the local mets said Cedar Rapids has had 20 mph gusts every day except one this month. The wind combined with the chilly temps has made it difficult to put all my plants outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snownado Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I was averaging forecasted temps for St Louis and Indy over the next 14 days according to weather.com, and St Louis is forecast to be a whopping 9 degrees warmer over that time span.

iluvsnow Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 So now we have two...back to back storms....that if the same pattern would have happened in winter....we would be looking at back to back snowstorms in the northern Ohio valley. Instead....cold rain, wind and nothing resembling spring for some time to come. The weather gods sure hate the Ohio Valley. Mother nature is having a good laugh at we snow weenies! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
