I support this bottom map. Had us under 2" as observed. The top map showing all that rain yesterday seems off. If it meant the previous day then it seems low. 38 degrees this AM.
39 in Rou this Am. MDT did not make it to 49 by midnight which locked them in at #4 all time for April with an average of 57. .1 below the number 3 temp. 4 of the top 10 Aprils have occurred in the last 10 years.
We were the winners out here Friday day then you scored big Friday night and now some of the northern Lsv and surrounding areas did well today. We all won. A big push back from the dry start to the year. People who understand hydrology know how to interpret our results. Do not worry about the anti-drought crowd.
Yea, scattered. But could be some winners. Just checked LNS and they are about 1.75" for the entire 3 days period as well. Nice rain but not 2" in a day like some have had.
The models moving the big rains east had the right idea. We have only had slightly over 1/2" since Saturday AM...much to the chagrin of Blizz as he was hoping for a drought buster in Rou :-). We still have next week and the rains/snows forecast.
After a fast start on Friday, a tally of only 1.65" for the 3 days here so far. Definitely a nice rain but we are still 3-4" behind for the year so hopefully more tack ons over the next week. Half expect to see some snow flakes on Wed.
LOL, I am not haggling I just did not do that math and thought 53 would possibly take it down .2. But yes, we are talking about something which will be solved in 13 1/2 hours.
If MDT gets down to 48 and has a high of 58 that is an average of 53 so waiting it out. LOL. MDT has already hit 52 or 51 today so it needs to get to 58 just to get that 55 average.
MDT stands tied for the third/fourth warmest April ever coming in to today (57.1 degrees.) 1 and 2 are out of reach so the question remains whether it holds at the tie for 3/4 or takes over 3 with any slight upward push (doubtful based on models) or if it drops down a bit which could see it tumble down to the 6/7/8 area just by shaving off .3 or .4 degrees. The HRRR has MDT getting to 58ish and falling to the upper 40's by midnight. If that plays out it will probably fall to ole holder of 4 or a 4/5/6 tie with a .1 or .2 drop. I did not do the math so MJS should be along shortly to grade.
Looks like 3 or maybe more frost chances next week. GFS and CMC both piling on for their snow chances to our West and Northwest. Actually has up the hill from me getting white.
Have been time pressed but saw it some panels that seemed east of yesterday with the jackpot actually closer to you or Abe. But again I spent two min on it.
