tamarack Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 2 minutes ago, Typhoon Tip said: Prohibitive favorite for top diurnal spread today... Bottomed out at 29 around 5:50 am just before the dimmer switch started elevating the light. It is onw 56 already. A 27 F correction thru 9:40 am. 850 mb Ts mature to +3 by 21z ... I doubt the mixing hgt gets that tall but we'll see. The sun is pretty ferocious now and sat and sky truth are both diamond clear with 0 inclusions. So the super adiabatic layer at the bottom will be violently bouncing against the ceiling. It may be a late high ... between 4 and 5 pm. Had a 39° diurnal range on Eclipse Day (62/23). Forecast max is 59, which would be a 38° range so that 4/8 span is in play. Greatest range here was 52° (29/-23) in Feb 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this is the 'solar forcing' contest. Yeah, I've witnessed more. I actually saw a 54 F spread in January 1994. It was a +9 F at dawn; 63 F that evening at 9pm with southerly whole gales leanin' tree tops and plumes of steam rollin' off of snow banks. Different beast. These spring diurnal wars between Earth and sun are interesting for a excruciating dweeb like myself; the Earth's will to keep it miserably cold at this time of year, gets its ass thoroughly tanned by a boarding school nun sun.

Those days where it’s -20F in the mountain valleys up here in the morning and raining at 34F by dinner, lol. Those are the memorable ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Maybe because winter blew salty balls, but I’ve been enjoying April. We’ve had some nice days and it provides a path to completely forget the past winter. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've certainly had some crummy days but we've had a share of very pleasant ones as well. But I get that hasn't been the case for everyone.

Cyclone-68 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I probably mentioned it here before but I have bad seasonal affective disorder and hopefully when I retire in a few years I can head south for at least a warmer (sunnier?) climate 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Looks like 12z guidance ticked a few degrees warmer for tomorrow night? At least across a few locations.

I looked quickly but it seemed like the strongest CAA was moreso during the day than at night? I don't know if it's worth it or not to see how they fare across portions of Wisconsin/Michigan tonight, if anything just a general idea of how they performed in relation to guidance. Looks like the brunt of the airmass though arrives more from Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Unless you were copying and pasting a weather app.. this week always looked like sunny and mild to warm Monday and Tuesday with a one day mild down Thursday and Friday rebound with some fake cool nights. Whenever the sun is out this time of year you add on at least 5 degrees to machine numbers . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthCoastMA Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 A bit more respectable today, between 55-57° which I can deal with. Will be nice when we finally break through with consistent 60's though. Some conflicting signals on the OP runs for the first week of May. Inland should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
