hawkstwelve Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Heavy precip rates have finally moved in and... We have a mixed precip. Some rain, some graupel, some snow.

Minny_Weather Posted March 25 Author Report Share Posted March 25 Cool bug fact: None of this dry air that I am currently sitting in was modeled. At all.

Clinton Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 I have a marginal risk for some severe weather this evening with hail being the primary threat. I could get enough heating this afternoon in the dry slot for some big storms to fire up along the front. The Nam and GFS show some slushy snow possible early Tuesday morning for the KC area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkstwelve Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Rain, rain, and more rain. Beneficial but frustrating. No cancellations on my flights so looks like I'll be heading out to Seattle shortly. Family is super bummed because we thought we had a decent chance of it being cancelled but this storm was a complete failure down here in the snow department. Looks like we have potential to pick up 2-3 inches today, maybe, but I won't even be here for it. Oh joy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hole Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Ended up at 0.89" of rain yesterday and early this morning. Just a few rumbles of thunder and it was spread out over several hours so it was a beneficial rain. March has mostly been boring and dry so its good to see it. Wish I could join in on the snow fun but snow season is officially over down here. 3 Quote Winter 23-24: Total Snow (3.2") Total Ice (0.2") Coldest Low: 1F Coldest High: 5F Snow Events: 0.1" Jan 5th, 0.2" Jan 9th, 1.6" Jan 14, 0.2" (ice) Jan 22, 1.3" Feb 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Reports of 5” so far. Hard to tell with 50 mph gusts. 1/8 mile visibility. Band has sat over here for about 5 hours.

What a bummer. I had watched this setup for 15 days. Seems like it takes some kinda freak event to get a big rain here. A wobbling front along the mo/ia border usually works. Oddest place, front after front system after system. Maybe 1 of 20 gives a precip even over .50! So many months pass here with 1 or none significant precip events. Its shocking to me that even being on the east side of a trough doesn't create lift and precip here. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKEKC Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Beautiful Blizzard for some of you. Some got the shaft on snow and rain...yep, KC got the shaft too. I only recorded .004 from yesterday's rain and the 50mph winds dried that up quickly. I was hoping to see some more as we are quite dry here. Spring started fast here, but, with limited moisture and now some cold air, spring is on pause. Maybe we see a line of storms later today and tomorrow morning could be interesting here as data is showing a good chance of some snow with the ULL. 70's by Friday!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan1117 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 So far sitting at 0.80” of very beneficial rainfall here in West Omaha (24 hour rainfall total). Hoping to get closer to that elusive 1” mark today for this system. Nice to see everything finally greening up around here thanks to some of the recent moisture. This soaking rain should really help accelerate things later in the week when it finally warms back up. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Both Cedar Rapids and Iowa City airports have reported 0.00" of rain so far. A far cry from the 2-3" modeled for days here. Latest HRRR shows about a .25-.35". And that will pretty much be all that we get from this system. A huge disappointment around here. Although with models trending this way in the couple of days leading up to the storm, it was no longer a surprise. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not holding my breath, just glad we did see moisture. Probably snowing as hard the last 2 hours as anytime since this morning. This band is intense. It just hasn’t wanted to move towards your area. We have a late start tomorrow. Our superintendent and principal really want to get the Junior ACT done tomorrow or I’m wondering if we’d have another snow day. Going to have to really let up by morning if we’re going to start by 10 am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1976 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 My guess is we ended with 8-9" here. I haven't looked for any official totals. I've been working long hours. It's compacted a lot so whatever the total is we never saw that much on the ground at once. We're in a WWA tomorrow as the backside swings through. Local met has another 2-4" tomorrow after we get a round of sleet/frz rain. Very compact system! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 The models all had at least some scattered showers today that might add up to a tenth or two, but zero rain ever developed. The plume of good rain to the east/southeast stole all the moisture. 2 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
