The Euro has 50s back to Iowa later this week and then 60s by early next week. The daffodils are about ready to bloom in my yard. Planted daffodils bulbs last October. So far nothing has poked out of the ground. Wonder if they crapped out lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, today/tomorrow could get plenty dangerous in the South and there probably will be more systems later on down the line. I wouldn't mind another crack at something like last March 28th without all the morning junk. Or at least March 15th, 2016. Glimpsed the EF2 near Hanna City, IL that day. First and only time I've seen a confirmed tornado on an actual chase, but it was just a brief glimpse in the post-dusk lightning flashes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormfanaticInd Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 MJO will be going into phase 2 around that time which is notorious for producing major outbreaks in the spring. Especially in a la nina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 We've been Spartman'd at 500 millibars. Show me the moisture return. It is often an issue at this time of year. Getting systems in close succession would help in that regard because it would make it less likely that moisture gets shunted extremely far south in between each system. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually as looking for the first hints of spring around masters weekend, but I think another 4-6 weeks is probably realistic for a green up (provided we dont have a significant warm spell).

Then by the time the oak leaves are full green... around June 1st, the grass is already entering it's first summer brown phase. Would prefer an early spring for once this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what is meant by green. The grass will green in April however green trees will probably be early may Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass will green in April however green trees will probably be early may Last year was very odd in that the very first trees and shrubs leafed out early due to a warm period in the first week of April. Most of the spring flowers were out slightly early too. But then mid-April through mid-May was so cold and rainy that the typically late trees weren't even full yet by the end of May. It was nice for taking nature walks in the woods as there was a lot of greenery but not a thick canopy yet... so nice sun shining through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass will green in April however green trees will probably be early may ya, the very first flowers (snow drop flowers) will start appearing probably next week up here and shortly after a wide range of flowers and early shrubs. Im basing this off previous years and the fact that this has been a perfect lead up to next weeks 50-60s and sun. No snow melt, ground thawing, rain today ect.. Trees are generally Late April-Mothers day in the GTA, and unless we really have a warm early April (60s-70s non-stop) it probably will be around then.

I think lack of moisture is the thing holding back the earliest stuff now. The bulbs are ready to open as soon as afternoon temps reach the middle 50s and nights stay above freezing, but the stalks will need a little water to actually grow. Snow melt mud is already crusty. It only took a few days to dry out. Soil is so sandy here that as soon as the frost is gone all the water soaks down into the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
