btcs31 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Quality squall. Surprised the thunderstorm warning wasn’t extended into Indiana. Edit: looks like warning just extended east. Already sunny here, so a bit late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hindsight, but some severe probs for wind would've been justified today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 20 minutes ago, Hoosier said: Hindsight, but some severe probs for wind would've been justified today. Under the right conditions shallow convection can draw down impressive winds. It is different to see this in a post cold-front environment as opposed to narrow frontal squall line with a bomb surface low. An odd situation for the midwest. These shallow cold-pool severe weather events happen more often in the Pacific Northwest with late season cold upper lows spinning inland and interacting with stronger afternoon surface heating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 lovely spring day. The frosted roof tops against the slate gray sky as the wind cuts you like a knife adds to the pleasantness. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 The big storm this week is trending poorly for my area. Models are now showing it ejecting in two pieces. The first wave's precip is mostly north and southeast, then the second wave's wrap-up is delayed until it lifts into the lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 5/-5 for lows this morning around the area. Chilly weekend. Could get slammed with heavy snow here in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Had robust snow showers/blowing snow most of the day yesterday with steady temps in the mid-teens, then a low of 7 last night. Currently it's 10 degrees with below zero wind chills and scattered very light snow showers tapering off. If there's enough holes in the cloud cover overnight, it'll drop below zero. Right now the point forecast is 4. You'd never know it's nearing April 1st by looking outside. Mid week system could be a doozy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I with along 350+ people watched the first big movement out of Duluth of the season as the Burns Harbor tooted it way under aerial lift bridge. Saw it was in the single digits there. I prefer to be inside my warm house to watch it instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really have to do some fancy piloting to get in, and out of the harbor here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 With 25" of snow on the ground, INL dropped to -8 this morning. A bit wintry for March 28th. Ely hit -11. Amazingly enough, INL has been even colder later in the season. Some examples below, with records going back to 1897. As expected, the April 1982 arctic outbreak shows up. -21 on 3/31/1975 (!) -14 on 4/3/1954 -12 on 4/2/1954 -11 on 4/6/1982 -9 on 4/7/1982 INL's latest sub-zero temp on record was 4/8/2018 (-3)...a good illustration of how anomalous 1982 was.

Brian D Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Cold morning with lows again 5/-5 around the area. 20's for highs over the weekend, too. Now we have a WSWtch for the Arrowhead. Another messy system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 DTW hovered at 20 for much of the night but it clouded up and another unexpected snow shower moved through (0.1"), so Temp didn't bottom out. Season snow 42.9" DTW, 43.1" mby. Looks like the second day in a row where we won't break freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was a mix of clouds and sun and we topped out at 32. But today was sunny all day after some early snow and we only topped out at 30. Areas outside the metro stayed in the 20s both days despite sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
