Tom Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Are the "Ides of March" going to continue into April??? It appears the pattern will continue as potent troughs barrel their way into the PAC NW/West Coast and make their way through the Rockies into our Sub. The Trio of Climate Models are all suggesting that the next 30 days are not signaling a return to Spring for the North/East members but those in the south are going to see some real summer time warmth induced by storms that will likely pump up the GOM warmth. Gosh, I'm so ready for some warmer wx. The JMA...cool/cold and wet for MW/GL's... If you are to believe the Euro Weeklies, there is a signal that sometime after mid April a ridge could develop over the heartland of the nation....Iirc, the LRC suggests the active pattern to subside during this time which would allow for real warmth to build. My concern, however, is the high lat blocking will put a wrench into any true sustained warmth near the GL's and parts of the MW. The -NAO is not forecast to go away anytime soon and this could very well be a part of the summer pattern as well. Something interesting is happening in the atmosphere this year and I'm getting a feeling that blocking will be a part of our pattern heading into Summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Buckle up, the pattern that keeps on giving will continue the storm parade...this time, however, we may be seeing more of a "southern stream" storm track and not so many cutters with blocking really blossoming up on top and the EPO relaxing after a brief spike into + territory. A winter lover's dream but in the wrong season....nature may be delivering more "stat padding" April snows in the Plains/MW....#AprilFools??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 On this cold Monday morning (21F), there is no sugar coating this week's weather around these parts as the doldrums of Spring shall continue. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly....The Good?? Moisture....The Bad...more cloudy, chilly and Sub normal temps likely....The Ugly....The CFSv2 is painting a very dreary and cold April for most of this Sub Forum....BUT, the Silver Lining....MOISTURE....I'm seeing a potent shot of some chilly air in the D 10-15 period targeting more of the eastern Sub and would not be surprised to see some LES and system snow near the GL's region. The key elements to the LR pattern ahead, is very active storm track coupled with high lat blocking that will produce a corridor of systems to track across our Sub. It's going to be an active Severe Wx season for our southern members but how far north it gets is looking less likely, except for the KC region and maybe at times the S MW/Lower Lakes. Our member in KY @Timmy_Supercellshould see some boomers this month. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 If the LR clues that I normally would use during the winter are right, Easter Weekend for the eastern CONUS, esp the GL's/MW will see a major trough in the region. I know its a long ways out but this idea is strictly based on what I see is forecast to develop around Hudson Bay & W NAMER where it will create a favorable pattern to amplify the North American 500mb pattern. If you are thinking of making any plans to head south to escape the cold, I recommend it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I actually did not look at GFS close enough before making this post. GFS actually brings a CO low up towards me, it actually cuts up here like a bowling ball. It phases with Euro's clipper over the Dakotas and brings worlds of fun to me. Euro just keeps the lows separate. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Where have we seem this before??? The southern stream storm track continues to show that the "slot" has been a magnet for areas of LP to eject out near the TX PanHandle region. 3-peat??? As @MSP_Weathermentioned, another powerhouse storm is poised to target the MW/GL's region. This is a storm generating pattern I have not seen in quite some time. In years past, we would see 1, maybe 2, of these gigantic systems but to track one per week is rather unusual. I'm pretty sure the high lat blocking has something to do with it, thus keeping the jet stream stronger than normal. These systems just wanna...dig, dig, dig and GO BIG! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Who's ready for some #RealSpring weather? The models are suggesting a reversal in the PNA (-) that will pop the SER and alongside the +EPO will flood the Sub with a "Spring Surge" as temps will likely head into the 70's/80's for a lot of peeps on here...some may see Summer time temps! First, however, there are multiple systems to track every other day it seems for parts of the MW into the GL's. Some models even suggest more stat padding snow for parts of IA/WI this weekend and next Monday and then the Big storm late next week. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Euro and EPS both showing about day 9-10 (April 8th-9th) before we show signs of an actual warm up. The average high for April 8th in Cedar Rapids is 57.3 and in Iowa City it is 60.1, so this would be right around average, which would feel great compared to this dismal weather we've been having. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Welcome to April. One of the issues I have with the CoCoRaHS is that the time that is used is 7AM to 7AM thus the amounts of rain/snow do not match up with the official NWS readings. Anyway that said I recorded 0.09" of rain/melted snow yesterday and overnight. The overnight low here was 30 and it looks like the official overnight low at GRR was 31. I have a trace of snow on the ground at this time with a current temperature of 32. March ended up with a mean temperature of 36.2 at Grand Rapids and that was just a departure of +0.5. There was 3.50" of rain/melted snow and that is above the average of 2.39" and 6.0" of snow fell that is below the average of 7.6". At Muskegon it was also wet and somewhat mild with less snow fall. At Lansing all three were above average as they had above average snow fall as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 The NWS is thinking there will be a band of 1-3" (isolated 4") of snow in the area tonight, probably a bit north of me.

Tom Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Welcome to April! Will April showers, or rather, snow showers bring May flowers?? If this wet/cool pattern continues through April across the eastern ag belt, I'm worried that the soils will be to wet for the farmers to get out there and till the soils. Let's think warmer thoughts bc the models are showing relief from this abysmal cool, cloudy, wet pattern we have been stuck in. I read that Chicago has recorded (9) 100% cloudy days since MAR 17th. I'm soo looking forward to see the sunshine today, albeit, a cool day in the 40's. With that being said, a warmer pattern is on the horizon and a pattern that is ripe for severe wx action....the clash of airmass's is going to ignite some boomers...SW Flow aloft is a classic signal... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is all this goodness due to the Nino backing off, of just dumb luck?? You mean La Nina...and no, it's not backing off...in fact, its holding on strong through this summer...IMHO, it's the amount of blocking that is allowing storms to dig a lot farther south this Spring compared to recent ones where storms cut NW of your region and OK. This season storms are tracking into the Deep South and ultimately producing more action down your way. Enjoy as much of it as you can bc I think the heat will build in come May/June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
