westMJim Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 At the current time there is rain falling here at my house with a temperature of 48. The overnight low was 41. Yesterday was the 1st day of April that was above average with a official high at Grand Rapids yesterday was 56. That is the warmest it has been so far this month. In now looks like the the first 70 or better day has been pushed back as the forecasted high on Tuesday in now in the mid 60's with a chance of showers. The average first day of 70 or better is April 4th So this year will be later than average. The earliest date is March 3, 1983 and the latest is May 3, 1950.

Clinton Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 It's going to be a windy Wednesday here with winds 25-35mph. The storm next week looks to be a fun one with severe weather, lots of rain and a blizzard up north. Should be a couple of days with large tornadoes possible in Oklahoma, big storm. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 NWS Hastings morning disco:: Just beyond the current forecast...good model agreement with a potent system ejecting out of the southwest and into the plains towards the middle of next week...with plenty of time to focus on this system over the coming days and fine tune thinking as it should bring a solid shot for some beneficial precip to the region. In fact...there could even be some snow on the backside of this system..and the hazard outlook from CPC shows a slight risk for heavy snow just to our west in the 4/13-4/14 time frame. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 The Euro is slowly trending toward the other models and is now blowing the cold front through Iowa Sunday night. However, it then lifts the front back up into Iowa on Tuesday, bringing warmth and storms with it.

So far every day has been cold, windy with rain or snow (when ya don't want it). I'd be excited if this was Fall but idc for this in the spring.

CentralNebWeather Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 NWS Hastings afternoon disco: Models continue to be in relatively good agreement regarding the presence of a deep upper trough from the N Rockies to Four Corners and strong ridging over the E Coast. This is typically a great setup for development of classic, strong Colorado Low that eventually ejects NE across the Plains. This appears mostly likely to occur in the Tue-Wed time frame, but details regarding exact track and strength of low pressure remains uncertain...and this will be key to determining sensible weather. Looks like classic system with storms/severe wx on warm side, strong wind/cold/snow on back side...and dry slot with fire weather concerns somewhere in between.

Grizzcoat Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Pretty weak sauce in the long term from DMX. I mean at least take a stab and break down which guidance you prefer or not , but no--- The thermal ridge begins to build back towards the area for the weekend, allowing for modest warm. First into the 50s on Saturday and then perhaps the 60s south on Sunday. Of course, this also means winds will become breezy again. Model solutions diverge from there as a sharp front is expected to pass across the area. Timing differences amongst the models result in a spread of temperatures for early next week. Discrepancies also translate to precipitation timing with a reinforcing shortwave. Depending on the model or the timing, this may be the next chance for convection across Iowa.

Grizzcoat Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Pertaining to the previous post about a cold baseball opener-- why in the world in early April do Northern teams without a roof (Twins/both Sox/Cubs/Clev/Det etc.) have games right outta the gate is beyond me. Seattle / Twins was postponed like a month ago. Why not play it in Seattle? I know scheduling is tough and all- but places mentioned above should at least a play a week or so in warmer locations and than roll the dice around April 15th or so--- Just my .02. Seattle/Twins apparently still on for a double dip Friday- OH boy in front off about 3500 fans in wind chills near 32F. Sounds like a lot of fun for MLB home opener said no one ever. The players gotta hate it also after coming from FL or AZ... I think it was the 14' Season Opener that Clev/Det like missed the first entire WEEK after scheduling each other back to back home and home series. 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

OmahaSnowFan Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Had some occasional snow/sleet showers all day off and on. Radar is very convective looking in nature with the showers moving through. I've recorded my highest gusts yet on my new weather station IMBY with this system. 43.4 mph last evening which is rather impressive considering it's surrounded by trees and houses in the neighborhood. I'm still debating whether I want to put it up on a big pole to try and get it up in the wind better for days like this.... Maintenance would be harder and not sure if I would like getting temp/humidity reports from 25-30 feet off the ground. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
