Went from crap weather forever March and April then on April 30th it suddenly changed to the mid 70s and from then on never went back. May 18 in Indy was warmest on record. I think every days highs were 72 degrees or higher Looked up May 2018 at IND, and you're right. No high was below 72. 25 out of 31 days were 80+, and every day except 1 was 80+ after May 8.

zinski1990 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Yep it was definitely beautiful. For sure the biggest weather flip I remember seeing in Indy ever. 3rd coldest April to warmest May. February 07 to March 07 it was extreme too if I remember right. We all know early April had that killer freeze though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the days that are like 15 or 20 degrees below average that suck. Its not tolerable IMBY because below avg doesn't equal sunny unless its Jan/Feb. The last thing I need here is a NW flow!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 May 2018 was a crazy month. Latest ice out ever on the metro lakes. The urban lakes didn’t go ice free until May 2nd/3rd followed by the earliest 100 degree reading on record in Minneapolis a few weeks later.

hardypalmguy Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I can't take this weather anymore. Looks like one warm day Saturday then back to turdfest. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I don't want to jinx it, but it does look like another brief "torch" is possible at the very end of the month, at least for the western parts of the subforum. Could support some severe WX with one of those transient flat-topped/zonal ridges. Prospects of prolonged warmth in early May still don't look good though.

Early May doesn't look good on any of the ensembles, but there might be one warm day towards the end of April before Hudson Bay high wins out.

When it flips to summer, we are going straight to 80s and the green up will be overnight again. Lately fall does the same thing. Winter switch flips and we go from sustained 70s/80s to 40s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 GFS and Euro are back on board with a brief zonal severe threat around the 30th, sandwiched between typical trough patterns. Now that I mention it again it will probably be taken away again. Sad that is the only possible interesting thing to look forward too. This current warmup looks like a complete dud as far as any storms in my area. ZZZZZZZ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id have to dig deeper to see if this is just mind games but I think your right Winter has seemed to drag on until mid May and then its 70F at 6am and muggy Septembers have been extension of summer, mid Octobers above average with 70s and 1 week later its 35F with wet snow 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King James Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Fwiw that’s how I see it as well. Winter to summer happens all at once lately and same with summer to winter. Two seasons, winter and summer, both last about 6 months now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the GFS, I'm just relived that it has the GLs deep into the reds too. Its hard to have crappy overcast skies in such a regime.
