Second track meet this spring cancelled due to blowing dust. Can’t make this crap up at this point. It is not good visibility, even in town, as south winds are gusting to 55 mph. I can see dust clouds in the country. 

Below Normal rainfall is sadly appearing to stay for the rest of this month for most of Nebraska. :(

It does appear that May might give you some hope to break this stupid pattern.

Never say Never with Weather, because anything is possible!

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted

Getting up to your area too @gabel23

 

Just another blowing dust advisory for our area! We started softball tonight and it was not fun. Between the blowing dust in the air and the blowing dust on the field we were caked in dirt. Give us a break already…..

Temps over performed here yesterday and we just missed the Century mark by 1 degree (99F).  It was a breezy day filled with high cirrus clouds.  While we do cool down quite a bit later in the week on Friday (highs near 80F), mid next week we shoot back up to near 100F.  #Toasty

Yesterdays official high at Grand Rapids was 43 that makes it the 7th coldest maximum for any April 19th at Grand Rapids. The official overnight low at GRR looks to have been 26 here at my house the overnight low was 27. The clouds have now moved in here and it is now cloudy and 38.

Just another 6-10" snowfall in the Minnesota arrowhead/north shore.  I would not be surprised if the spine of the ridge along the north shore near grand marais mn has seen spots with 200" accumulation this season.  Localized locations within a few miles of Superior in that area have 1000' of elevation rise to enhance the snow with the right fetch.   There aren't really any reliable weather stations in that area though.

Temps overperformed here today, into the low/mid 60s.

Guidance is really watering down the eastern troughing signal in the long range. 18z GFS has only 1 chilly day here before WAA starts again. Feels like we’re on the cusp of a seasonal shift.

.35 here yesterday with some scattered showers possible later today.  The fog this morning was as thick as any I've had in the last few years.  I had to run the wipers on the truck just to keep the moisture off and visibility might have been a 100 ft or so.  The forecasted high today is 76 but the sun will have it's work cut out to burn off this fog.

DVN is beginning to talk up a possible heavy rain event somewhere over here late tonight into Friday morning.  Models disagree about its strength and placement.  The NAMs have all the rain over northern Iowa.  The latest Euro has shifted north a bit and now has 1-3" through my area.  The HRRR is going nuts with training storms and a band of 3-4" through Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.

The official high at Grand Rapids yesterday was 54. Yesterday was the 7th day in a row the mean was below average at GR. For the month of April so far there have been only 5 days when the mean has been above average and 14 days when it was below average. The current mean of 40.6 is a departure of -4.9. Here in MBY I recorded 0.60" of rain fall yesterday and overnight. The low here was 48 and it looks like the official low at GRR was 47. After a brief warm up this weekend it still looks to cool off and once again be below average it end the month. We are now in the last 3rd of April and there is still a lot of snow on the ground up at Houghton.

And there is still 9" reported on the ground at Marquette.

From my buddy in Rhinelander,WI,

 

Scattered snow showers late tonight into tomorrow morning.  Bursts of heavier snow will likely lead to snow covered roadways for the Monday morning commute. 1-3 inches of new snow is on the way.  This may or may not be enough to enter the Top 5 Snowiest Seasons (on record) in Rhinelander.  We need exactly 2.0" to do that with 89.3" recorded (so far) this snow season.  91.3" is needed to tie with the 1949/50 snow season.  If we don't get it this time, another round of snow arrives Wednesday before 50s get in here later in the week.

Buddy just texted me and Rhinelander is officially up to 93.4" for the season. Firmly in 4th place all time.
