westMJim Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 With a reported 9% of possible sunshine this has been the cloudiest start to April in recorded history at Grand Rapids. And with a mean of just 39.8 (-3.3 below average as of this date) and 1.33" of rain (+0.37) makes for a cloudy, cool and wet start to April 2022. We are due for some sunny days that is for sure. Cloudy and 40 here at the current time. We have started April on a cloudy, wet and cool side. The grass is now starting to green up and with how wet it has been it will soon be grass cutting time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Yesterday, I woke up to a coating of snow and chilly temps in the low 30's with a glorious, albeit chilly sunrise. We had back-to-back days of official Trace amounts of snow at ORD both on the 8th & 9th. Are we done yet with this snow?? I don't really think so based on the LR trends. In the meantime, I'm sooo looking forward to a whole days worth of sunshine and warmer temps in the mid/upper 50's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzcoat Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 6 hours ago, Phil said: Ashland regional airport, right? I’ve noticed their obs seem a bit off relative to those of adjacent areas. KDWU is a fully automated airport when it comes to weather -- ie. -- no input from humans. It will not detect hail, ice pellets , small hail (graupel) and many other hydrometerors that a human would detect and report. The list is nearly endless. Fully auto based sites also have NO CLUE with any type of mixed precip (more than one) -- they will only report one form and it's usually UP. Which means "unknown precip" Sites that are LAWRS (Limited Aviation Weather Reporting Station) have ATC that are "supposed" to augment the weather and add such things as I posted above. But per FAA regs- they cannot go outside and leave the ATC Cab. Hence- they do little if anything to augment the weather and let it ride to fully auto. Your best sites for weather reporting are those sites (larger airports) that have a professional weather observer (CWO) thats sole purpose is to report the weather and nothing else. Very important in IFR and LIFR condidtions when ATC is allready very busy and stressed out. KCRW is your best bet, not as local as you might want- but 1000 times better than some automated crap. Been my job for 25 years and counting. It's sad that automation is trying to take over the aviation and weather field when its obvious it's not as good or even close to what the human eye can do . All about the $$--- but when safety gets mentioned , lawmakers go nuts . 1 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.

westMJim Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 The official high in Grand Rapids yesterday was just 40. The official overnight low was 24. That 24 is one of the coldest lows recorded for any April 24th. So far the month of April at Grand Rapids has a mean of 39.2 for Grand Rapids that is a departure of -4.0 according to the NWS. At the current time it is sunny and 33 here. After a brief warm up it looks to once again turn colder for later next week. The warmest so far this April has been 56 and the coldest so far is 23. While it did reach 67 way back on March 17 the last time it reached 60 or better was on March 21st. It has yet to officially reach 70 or better at Grand Rapids. The average date for that 1st 70 at GR is April 4th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andie Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Monday- Wind/Possible Storms NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) — Get ready for a super windy Sunday as southerly winds are sustained at 20-30 mph with gusts to 45 mph. A wind advisory has been issued from 9 a.m. Sunday until 12 a.m. Monday for most of North Texas. Temperatures will also be soaring with highs in the upper 80s for the metroplex and low 90s west of I-35. A strong cap will be in place tomorrow, hindering storm chances, but a few may develop in the late afternoon and evening hours. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has put most of North Texas under a slight risk of severe storms Monday afternoon/evening. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats with these storms. If the cap is broken, the storms will likely become severe. As of now, storm initiation is around 4 p.m. Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Tom Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I went outside about an hour ago and it actually felt a bit balmy as we are situated in the warm tongue. The temp was 59F but it has now dropped into the low 50's as the CF approaches. Sunday was a picture perfect day, albeit a bit gusty, the sunshine made up for it. My goodness, its amazing what the sun can do to your psyche, esp since the stretch o abnormally cloudy, dreary and cold days we have endured. 70's look like a good bet on Wednesday over here and a severe wx threat... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
