  1. I don't like the idea of those PWATS combined with a very strong low and tropical remnants. That could be a potentially serious flood threat, especially if it goes over the very wet areas from the last couple of weeks. Combined with the potential wind and this could be quite interesting next Wednesday/Thursday.
  2. I don't really see why we wouldn't get anything tonight. The whole setup screams at least a decent squall line coming through. Although what I don't get is MKX showing the storm going through the area NW-SE when again that's not really going to be the case.
  3. It is really weird. Over here we are probably good on rain for a little bit yet while over by La Crosse they are in Abnormally Dry already. If it weren't for the last 2 weeks or so we would be in the same boat, and we may very well be after tonight depending on where the edge of the ridge sets up.
  4. That swirling mess is a cut-off low. A cut-off low is when a low pressure system loses the jet stream's steering and gets stuck in an area, often stuck under a ridge. They can last quite a while as evidenced by this one.
  5. We had such a cold first half of the month it's very likely we stay that below average for the month. At least a good 60% of our trees are leafed out at this point, not like we are almost to june or anything. I am so ready to move on to summer. Hopefully without more cutoffs.
  6. We got into the sun up here so the highs ended up in the mid 70's. The forecast for the next 7-10 days looks great as of right now. 70's and 80's during the day with 50's and 60's at night and a chance of thunderstorms everyday. Sounds like a forecast that actually belongs to the current month for once. Here's hoping that the forecast sticks this time and isn't ruined by a cutoff low from hell.
  7. We probably have 1.5 to 2" here at this point. Radar looks like we only have maybe another 30 to 45 mins of rain and then we are done. I think we are good on rain now for the month.
  8. Either way It's looking another inch of rain is on the way on Sunday, which is not the worst thing in the world considering we are a bit below normal right now for rain.
  9. We got to 25 here last night. Definitely can tell in the plants, everything has a bit of a drooped look to it. Looks like it will be near freezing pretty much every night until Wednesday. At least crops wise there isn't a whole lot up yet so it shouldn't be too damaging there.
  10. Funnily enough Sunday is the 30th anniversary of this storm. https://www.weather.gov/mkx/051090-spring-snowstorm. This storm dropped up to 6 inches in a band from Green Bay to Waukesha. Unfortunately the heavy snow caused a ton of tree damage. What's weird is that that winter also started early in October.It is just odd hoe this year has followed 1990 almost to a T patterns-wise. Hopefully that continues as the second half of that month turned out to be pretty warm and stormy for the region.
  11. I definitely agree with that statement. Those two spots are the best CAD spots in the state if not in the Midwest. It's because of there locations where river valleys narrow as they go into the Driftless Area. Land O'Lakes and Manitowish Waters are more because of there latitude and elevation. Both are over 1600' in elevation and are in little valleys right next to their lakes.
  12. Why would you say such a thing?
  13. That is one nice thing about being farther west. When there are troughs like this that are aimed to the east, we can escape the cold a little bit more than say Michigan or Ohio. Those sentences sound like straight out of January.
  14. I'm worried that if we do get these cold temps like the models are saying there is going to be a lot of damaged if not killed plants and crops. Lord knows the farmers don't need anymore issues with the crops, the last two years have been bad enough as is.
  15. Oh no the gauge is like right in downtown Green Bay up the river a bit.
  16. Green Bay gets pretty deep farther north, but near the city it gets really shallow really quick which is why it floods so easily. Also doens't help that the Green Bay area is one of the few widespread low areas of shoreline on that side of the lake.
  17. The Lake Michigan flood gauge at Chicago is .03 ft away from setting a new record. The gauge says 3.8 but there is a preliminary record of 4.45 from last year. Again something you don't see everyday.
  18. Certainly don't see this everyday from water flooding in from the great lakes. https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=grb&wwa=flood warning Apparently the Fox River is flooding to moderate stage from water being backed up because of the winds and high water levels in Green Bay.
  19. Man it is nasty out today. 40's, heavy rain, and high wind. It's pretty hard to get nastier weather than that this time of the year. I mean this is just pure march weather when it's almost may. This spring has sucked so much.
  20. Yeah can we not? Like seriously I don't want to see snow in freaking may. Plus everything is finally greening up nicely and I don't want a hard frost to set everything back again.
  21. I was just looking back through the forums and realized that, surprisingly, this thread hasn't been made yet. So yeah the next 7-10 days look consistently wet and in the 40's and 50's. Just my favorite type of weather /s. At least it will hopefully help green the bushes and trees up.
  22. I didn't realize how cold and dry this month has been. Madison right now is -3.8 degrees below normal and 2.90 inches below normal for the month. Looks like in the next week we are going to get some rain so that should help. Although frankly this dry of an April isn't bad, it's more the temperatures that need the help. Unfortunately it's not looking good at all the next week here.
  23. Yeah, it is a pretty interesting storm. Although at this point I couldn't give a crap about the snow. The thunderstorms will be nice though, maybe they will awaken the ground a bit.
