Clinton Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 The chances for rain to close out the month and to start April are not great for me but it is improving slightly. It's very much needed as the drought continues to intensify again over western MO. More snow for the northern members. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 27 Author Report Share Posted March 27 3 hours ago, Meatyorologist said: Minneapolis hadn't set a monthly record high since 1999, until they did it twice in the span of six months, both last September and now this February. Interesting, that year was the last time PHX recorded any measurable precip on Easter Sunday...it was on 4/4/1999...this SUN, we will likely record measurable precip as another strong storm dumps Snow and more Rain into the valley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 GFS trending toward a better looking storm at the end of the month with some severe weather possible. Reed Timmer, PhD @ReedTimmerUSA WATCHING the next storm system very closely for severe weather in the southern Plains through the Ohio River Valley around March 31-April 2! The GFS models have been shifting toward a more bulbous trough ejection with stronger low-level shear in the warm sector. This is still the early season, so issues with limited moisture can prevent these systems from reaching their ceiling in terms of tornado production, but this next system should have more ample moisture as the Gulf of Mexico was not as ravaged this recent system 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaycee_CHI Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 I hate the month of March so, so much lol. The temperatures are always mentally unstable, which in turn makes me mentally unstable like don’t give me a week of 70s, then be 30 and 90 mph wind for 3 weeks straight like what is this?!? It’s also just brown, and ugly. The worst. I’d do anything to get those 70 degree temps back, the only time I’ll take snow is if it’s over 12” and then it warms up by the end of the week, otherwise it’s just gross this time of year imo. That said, I feel like this isn’t going to happen. All the long range forecasts I’ve seen are just average or below average temperatures. It just needs to be May already pleaseeee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 31 Author Report Share Posted March 31 Happy Easter to all! It's been very windy since midday yesterday and the rain has finally made its way into the valley. It is snowing heavily up in Flagstaff. I'm watching the local TV news channel and the team is up on a live shot right now and its pure powder up there! Up to a Foot of snow will fall just today with more tomorrow. It's been 25 years since it has rained in PHX on Easter for the valley. This storm could become a record snow event up in FLG and rain event for PHX today. Let's see how it shakes out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not straight, but a rebalance is inevitable. Crashing solar and other variables will only add to the odds. Seeing how long our side of the globe has been warm vs other areas is a key here as well.
