Hoosier Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 How's this for low-hanging fruit. For 4/20, the daily record snowfall is 0.2" for Chicago and is a trace for Indianapolis. Also, the last time that Indianapolis had measurable snow on 4/20 or later was back in 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the key though, "in that scenario." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The Cedar Rapids airport hit 20º this morning. My yard reached about 23º. I wasn't expecting it to be quite that cold. I'm glad I covered a bunch of plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Getting close to our last freeze here. Tonight is a slam dunk and Saturday night has the potential but then a warm stretch is upcoming and climo starts working against us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Now that the snow has melted I'm really noticing lots of tree branches down around town. Mostly Bradford pears and Norway maples. Thinking today might be the last freeze of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Well it's snowing again today. I think we have had more snow days in April than all winter lol . All under an inch tho, but it has been a chilly second half of the month. A couple warm days mixed in, only to be turned into cold and snow.

cyclone77 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 We got lucky and picked up over 3" of rain a few weeks ago, so it's not too terribly dry yet. Did go out and water a few things this evening though. Looking forward to the 80s Mon and Tue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 A bit of sleet just started falling here. NW/NC Iowa has been in the low 30s with light snow today. Thank god this is the last day of this cold crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Tuesday should be fairly solidly into the 80s around here I think. Warm start and 850 mb temps into the teens C with good mixing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Both the NAMs changed drastically and now have the warm front getting hung up at the WI/IL border tomorrow with highs only around 60 tomorrow, meanwhile the HRRR blasts the warm front N and gets us into the low and mid 70s. Past climo tells me the NAM will be correct about this but with the dry air and efficient mixing, I wouldn't be surprised to see the warm front mix fairly far northward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be leaning heavily on its position if there were a convective complex to contend with, but we really don't have that. I'd think the other models will be correct, or at least more correct than the NAM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 We've already risen over 30 degrees from our morning low of 38 up to 69 degrees already. Should make the low 80s today, and mid-upper 80s tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Snowed again last night. Turned my newly greened up lawn into a sea of white for a while. Since then steady light rain today with about a 1/2" so far. Temps running in the mid-upper 30's this aftrn. Temps slated to warm back to more avg levels later this week. Will feel real good to have 55-60 deg weather back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
