Can't wait to feel the sultry airmass. No where close to sultry here. Yesterday at max heating the dews were only in the low 50's. Today so far, the dews are only in the mid 50's. Really does not feel sultry to me until the dews get closer to 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now my DP is 13C/55F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Am I correct that the humidex is more liberal than the heat index? Like for a given temp and dewpoint, the humidex value will be higher than it is on the heat index? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got myself sorted on the exact differences so I found this article: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/humidex-vs-heat-index-whats-the-difference/10243 "The equation used to calculate the humidex is different from what is used for the Heat Index in the United States. Therefore, one cannot convert the Heat Index to Celsius to compare conditions in the two countries. For example, at a temperature of 32 °C with a relative humidity of 50%, the Heat Index would be 35 °C, but the humidex would be 39." For the equation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex I'm currently sitting at 26C with a humidex of 30. There is just enough of a breeze that unless I'm standing in direct sunlight I still feel a slight tinge of coolness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It was nice to have a dry stretch this month that lasted more than only 1 day, especially when it includes a completely dry weekend. This is the second time to have a completely dry weekend this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Yeah we had a freeze on May 8th last year, and a hard freeze on May 9th in 2020. Winter shows up late and doesn't want to let go till mid May is the new norm. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Balmy 30-35F today. What month is it again? Avg highs are low 50's this time of the month, but reaching avg has been a chore this month, in general. The last couple days of precip netted 0.63". Just came in spurts, very scattered. Guess this anomaly map tells the story, especially back my way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Tomorrow looks pretty brutal with some contribution to temps via Lake Michigan. Will be lucky to get above 40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 30's all week here with a balmy mid 40's and rain for the weekend. Snow showers yesterday, and again today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Good moisture, cold northerly flow, perfect setup here for snow. Have had 2.5 inches overnight and this morning and snow’s still coming down. High today only 28. Colder than most of the subs mid winter average high. If it clears, teens tonight. The Yoop and the Arrowhead all by themselves in another season. In fact, by this map mby may be one of the coldest places in the lower 48 today. I'm so honored MQT: Here at the NWS Marquette office, the temp just after midnight was 27F. As long as the temp today does not exceed 30F (that definitely looks like the case), today will end up with the lowest max temp for so late in the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Nothing like having all day snow flurries on *checks notes* April 26th. At least in the longer range it's looking like this week will probably the last of the real cold stuff. After tomorrow night we don't get near freezing for lows for at least the next 5 days. Even with still lackluster highs in the 50's, that should finally get us going for greenup around here. About time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 32 here this morning. Winds stayed frisky through sunrise otherwise temps would have been deep into the 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Snow increasing in intensity as the sun heads lower... it stopped accumulating earlier this afternoon and even melted away on the driveway and truck but has since began sticking to all surfaces again. Should see 2-3 inches tonight with winds shifting more nne which is a very favorable wind direction for my area. Down to 22 degrees already. Looks like late Nov/early Dec out.

I'd recommend late August. The summer visitors are gone, so are the bugs, and it's before the autumn rush of tourists. The lake is warm, nights are cool... usually dry.
