There is some indication that things could turn "wetter" for a period towards the end of March / early April in parts of the Southern Plains / SW. Likely nothing drought-busting by any means, but any litttle bit will help before an early season heat ridge starts to build in after the first week of April... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 1 hour ago, michsnowfreak said: Quite a turn around in Omaha. No big amounts, but multiple storms. They were sitting at an incredible 1.0" season to date thru February 10th, and they are now at 13.4" before whatever they get today. Although, I cant figure out what the other 2 blizzard warnings were besides today and March 4th. Since they are prone to crazy windstorms and blizzards in the plains, seems like the NWS's out there sometimes overdue blizzard warnings (in terms of how often they verify vs when they are issued). The Blizzard Warnings are definitely verifying out there today just west/NW of Omaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 We're probably gonna have to start paying TX property taxes if we keep getting more of their dirt. Have a dirty looking sky overhead with a muddy rain shower at the moment. Nice arc of storms starting to evolve out over southeastern IA, and down into MO. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The Euro definitely gets an F- for it's handling of the placement of the warm front today. We were supposed to make 70, but will likely stay in the 40s with a stiff northeast wind. This must be what it feels like to live along LM in May lol. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that convection has continuously curled into the cold sector. Very dynamic storm system overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time yesterday, pretty much all guidance had the warm front north of here. Classic I-80 early spring warm front scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Got my first 20C of the year, my high was 22C/75F! Waterloo ON got their first 20 too and the UW station contest just ended a few mins ago at 4pm it reached 20.1C! It happened so fast that the director hasn't even updated the page yet which is another first. Somehow despite the immense snowpack the temps around here keep overperforming. Most of the snow is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 As others mentioned, dust was rather profound this afternoon. Currently under a Dust Advisory which I do not recall the last time that's occurred locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
