April 2026 Observations and Discussion
Happy 4/20.Yesterday on my way to Meijer I ran into a moderate snow shower, I hope that is the last of the snow until late fall. With clear skies there was indeed a hard freeze here in MBY at the overnight low has dropped down to 26. The warm days we have had has brought many plants to life, not sure to what extent if any there has been, but fruit trees may have had the worst of it. After a cold start today will be a cool day with highs some 10° below average. The rest of the week will be warm with expected highs in the upper 60’s to maybe the upper 70’s and lows in the mid 40’s to mid-50’s there is a chance of rain on Friday, and it is a little cooler for the weekend. The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 47/33 there was a trace of rainfall reported while there was a snow shower here in NW metro area there was no report of snow at GRR. The highest wind gust was 38 MPH out of the W. For today the average H/L is 60/39 the record high of 83 was in 1987 the coldest high of 37 was in 1943 and 1914 the record low of 13 was in 1897 the warmest low of 61 was in 1957. The most rainfall of 2.45” was in 2000 the most snowfall of 0.4” was in 1943 the most on the ground was a trace in 2013. Some weather history for April 20th. 1901 A spring storm produced unusally heavy snow in northeast Ohio. Warren received 35.5 inches in thirty-six hours, and 28 inches fell at Green Hill. Akron OH established April records of 15.6 inches in 24 hours, and 26.6 inches for the month. Pittsburgh PA established April records of 12.7 inches in 24 hours, and 13.5 inches for the month. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)1989 Hot weather spread from the southwestern U.S. into the Great Plains Region. Twenty-three cities reported new record high temperatures for the date. The afternoon high of 104 degrees at Tucson AZ was an April record, and highs of 87 at Provo UT, 90 at Pueblo CO, and 85 at Salt Lake City UT, equalled April records.

April 2026 Weather In The PNW
They love to fill up those alpine lake trenches like a soup bowl. On the hike up to the top of the mountain above lake Margaret, we'd dip down into the drier midlevel winds on the other exposed side of the ridge, and boom, not even a bumblebee. It's like a little humid continental climate in those spots...the still water makes it so humid -

There is no worse spot than Lake Takhlakh in August. My god, there's not enough RAID on the planet on a hot day there.- 1

18z Euro really upped rainfall totals for the midweek cutoff, with some well placed midlevel convection and a pivoting stratoform band. Check out norcal!
