GFS, as well. Both 00z runs linger it through near the end of next week.

The warmup that is supposed to start tomorrow looks to be short-lived. Get ready to write off next week. Right after the weekend is over, models are hinting an Omega Block setting up with a cutoff low over the region lingering through near the end of next week. The latest GFS run is showing highs in the lower 60s for Monday through Tuesday followed by highs in the 50s Wednesday, and back to the 60s on Thursday through Friday of next week. For example, next Wednesday on the latest 00z GFS: Meanwhile, the latest Euro run shows highs in the lower 60s Monday, 50s on Tuesday through Wednesday, and back to the 60s on Thursday through Friday of next week before warming back up next Saturday.

Or 1992 all over again?

FMA came in with 0.5C. JFM is now 0.6C. 2019-2020 is officially another El Nino season.

First 80-degree day of the year today as temps overperformed to reach 83. Likely the warmest we'll get for this month unless things approve during the second half of this month as what Crankyweatherguy has been suggesting.

Ended up as the first April since 2016 to be dry and the first dry month since last November.

Bring on the May 1997 analog!

Ended up hitting 70 for the first time in more than 2 weeks before it became completely overcast. No more 70s until sometime next month. So far, DAY only got 0.01" so far from this soaker, but more to come from it throughout tomorrow afternoon.

Won't end up dry due to the upcoming soaker this weekend and a cutoff low around the end of the month. This April is currently at 2.45" for the month as of today. Haven't had a dry April here since 2016. Cincinnati, on the other hand, hasn't had a dry April since 2013.

Meanwhile in DAY, it will be the first time since 2015 we have failed to hit 80F before May. This has happened 35 times since records began in 1893. The latest date for an 80-degree day ever was June 5, 1983, the only year ever there were no 80-degrees the entire spring.

Today was the sunniest day it is going to be for this month. It will likely be the last dry day for the rest of the month.

The last time Dayton had both at least a slightly cold April and May was in 2016, which was followed by a hot summer. Recent years prior to that were 1997, 1996, 1995, 1992, 1990, 1989, 1984, and 1983. Only 3 of those years (1995, 1989, and 1983) with a cold April and May were followed by a hot summer. Four of those years (1997, 1992, 1990, and 1984) with a cold April and May were followed by a cold summer. A cold April and May in 1996 was followed by a near normal summer.

This was the first completely dry weekend in over a month.

April 2018 redux, approved by Joe Bastardi!

Forecast high is in the upper 60's, but expected the warm-up to occur by midnight tonight.

Though Dayton and Columbus look lucky in that run.

This past January in Cincinnati failed to measure a daily 1+" snowfall for the first time since January 2015 and at least the 29th time ever recorded. Of all those instances, at least 20 Februaries that followed those Januaries would have at least one day with a daily measurable snowfall of at least an inch. The earliest last 1+" snowfall on record is January 19, 1955 with a daily measurable snowfall of 1.4 inches. In Columbus, this past January failed to measure a daily 1+" snowfall for the first time since January 2017 and the 22nd time since records began in 1883-1884. Of all those instances, 15 Februaries that followed those Januaries would have at least one day with a daily measurable snowfall of at least an inch. Currently, CMH is on track for the second earliest last 1+" snowfall on record with a daily snowfall of 1.5 inches that occurred back on December 15th, only behind the earliest last 1+" snowfall on record on December 13, 2016 with a daily measurable snowfall of 3.2 inches. In Dayton, this past January failed to measure a daily 1+" snowfall for the first time since January 1998 and the 15th time since records began in 1893. Of all those instances, 12 Februaries that followed those Januaries would have at least one day with a daily measurable snowfall of at least an inch. 1918-1919 is the only season where every single month (even October, November, March, and April) failed to measure a daily 1+" snowfall the entire season. Currently, DAY is on track for the second earliest last 1+" snowfall on record with a daily snowfall of 1.3 inches back on December 16th, only behind the earliest last 1+" snowfall on record on November 27, 1931 with a daily measurable snowfall of 5.3 inches.

After heading into mid-to-late February....

GDPS doesn't have this, either.

Mid to late February at the earliest, based on these.

As of January 19th, a recording of 0.3 inches now places Dayton for the 6th least snowiest January on record. Dayton's Top 10 Least Snowiest Januaries: 1. None - 1944 2. Trace - 1933 2 (Tied). - Trace - 1932 4. 0.1" - 1989 5. 0.2" - 1923 6. 0.3" - 2020 (currently, as of January 19th) 7. 0.4" - 1916 8. 0.7" - 1950 8 (Tied). - 0.7" - 1919 10. 0.9" - 1908 Also as of January 19th-20th, Cincinnati now ties for the least snowiest January on record with only trace amounts.

Columbus has had only a trace of snowfall so far this month. The previous Januaries that Columbus only had a trace of snowfall the entire month were 1944 and 1932 (both tied for the least snowiest January on record), however one of the two Februaries that followed those Januaries were better. February 1944 recorded 8.8 inches of snow while February 1932 only recorded 0.4 inches of snow. Columbus' Highest Daily Maximum Snowfall During Those Februaries: February 1944: 4.3 inches February 1932: 0.4 inches As of today, Dayton still only has a trace of snowfall this month. With January 1944 as the least snowiest on record without any snow at all (not even a trace), the previous Januaries that Dayton only had a trace of snowfall the entire month were in 1933 and 1932 (both tied for the 2nd least snowiest January on record). January 1944 that didn't have any snowfall, let alone a trace, was followed by February of that year recording a monthly snowfall total of 8 inches. February 1933 recorded 3.2 inches of snow while February 1932 recorded only 0.6 inches of snow. Dayton's Highest Daily Maximum Snowfall During Those Februaries: February 1944: 3 inches February 1933: 1.5 inches February 1932: 0.4 inches As of today, Cincinnati literally has no snowfall so far this month, not even a trace. Never has Cincinnati had gone through a January without any snow since records began in 1872. The least snowiest January on record is only a trace back in 1989, tied with 1944, 1933, 1932, and 1923. February 1989 recorded 3 inches of snow while February 1944 recorded 5.8 inches of snow, February 1933 with 4.1 inches of snow, February 1932 with only a trace of snowfall, and February 1923 with 3.6 inches of snow. Cincinnati's Highest Daily Maximum Snowfall During Those Februaries: February 1989: 1 inch February 1944: 2 inches February 1933: Same as above February 1932: Trace February 1923: 2.7 inches
