OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Urban lakes are still holding their ice but with 1” of rain coming tomorrow through Wednesday I imagine ice-out will be occurring very soon here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 My temp is skyrocketing the last 90 minutes from 12C-18C (65F) . I'm now expected to reach the almighty 20C mark this afternoon first of the year and if confirmed first since 2012 for March. Filtered sunlight but getting brighter the last few mins. Every day my high is bumped another 1-2C as originally today was 15C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been looking for a snow cover and current snow depth map. I use NOHRSC interactive maps. They are decent with small hiccups but thats too be expected with anything like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really impressed with the rain so far. Was expecting a good downpour at some point today. Haven't really had that (at no point have I been able to hear the rain coming down from inside).

hawkeye_wx Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I picked up 0.36" of rain this morning from the light to moderate band and then another 0.39" this evening from the moderate to heavy band, so my total is 0.75". It's nice to see and hear it pour rain again. There was no lightning, so my first lightning/thunder will likely have to wait til mid April.

Central AL Apparently, the SPC has only issued this 5 other times in its history. And it increasingly appears another high risk area may be issued by the SPC for parts of the same areas tomorrow that were hit last week. It's not often you see 2 high risk days in a season, let alone virtually back-to-back in the same areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 got .72" of rain yesterday and overnight. With a tenth or two today this should stave off any looming drought for a week or so but would be nice to get a couple more rain chances over the next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not often you see 2 high risk days in a season, let alone virtually back-to-back in the same areas. Was fairly common before 2015 or so. May 4-10, 2003 had four, so did May 22-30, 2004 and three between May 22 and June 5, 2008. In fact, 4-6 per year was the general expectation from the 1990s through the early 2010s (2010 had six including one in October, 2011 had five including back-to-back on April 26-27); except in real dud years like 2000 and 2009. Then dud years started becoming the rule rather than the exception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The rain that was suppose to start at 11:20 fizzled out! Predictable. The 4-5 mm expected is reduced to <1 mm for my point. I haven't seen a drop of rain so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Just under an inch of rain here since yesterday. Pretty steady light rain with the occasional mod/hvy band working in. Winds running 15-30 mph, so nothing unusual. It has been snowing some today, inland across the Arrowhead region, but no reports as of yet. Haven't seen any flakes in town, but radar showing heavier snow out over the lake now as the colder air moves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 2 hours ago, ILSNOW said: Euro gets it down to 982 Euro has quite an impressive wind event. But it is deeper with the surface low and thus has stronger wind fields than other models, so not sure we will see something of the magnitude that the Euro is suggesting (which would be widespread 60-70 mph gust potential).

Hoosier Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 If you want a laugh, pull up the Euro gust maps. There are pockets of 70-80 mph on there. But the gust products are to be used with caution given what I mentioned above, in addition to them tending to be overdone in shallower/more questionable mixing regimes.
