Yesterday's HRRR runs showing 3-5" around here were a bit too ebullient, but I did receive a very nice 1.77".
-
18z HRRR... still going nuts. It also now has nearly all the rain falling after sunrise, which is a bit unusual.
-
Latest Euro for tonight/Friday
-
Models are suggesting a heavy rain event in the area late tonight into Friday morning. Placement has been shifting around a bit.
-
0.40" of rain here.
-
Minot, ND picked up another foot of snow today. That's 3-4 feet in a week.
-
A couple locations south of Des Moines got 3-4" of snow. The atmosphere was very dry here for most of the day, so all I've seen is some super light rain this evening.
-
We had a decent snow rate for a while, but the warm ground prevented any accumulation.
-
We had a couple hours of sleet and now we've changed to snow. It's coming down pretty good.
-
It is 90º in Lincoln, NE.
-
70º for Cedar Rapids on Wednesday is gone now that all models have sped up the frontal passage to first thing in the morning, which is what the GFS has been for showing for days. We do have a shot at 70º on Tuesday, though.
-
Cedar Rapids hit 70º this afternoon, the first time since March 21st. It was not expected at all. The forecast had only recently got bumped up to the mid 60s. It's too bad the wind was too strong to really enjoy the nice temp for most of the day.

Spring/Summer 2022 Complaint/Banter Hangout

The cold season up here lasts one month too long. I would love to be able to snap my finger and add 10º to the average high temp after the spring equinox. -
Spring/Summer 2022 Complaint/Banter Hangout
hawkeye_wx replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
We hit 75º back on March 21st. We've only hit 50º three times since then. It appears next Wednesday will be our only 70º day out of the upcoming pattern change. The latest Euro then shows the upper midwest plunging right back into a long cold pattern with 40s, or even 30s, for highs for several days. I really despise springs like this. #!@$#(&*!@#(*^ -
Same here... 0.4" of snow.
-
GFS and Euro precip next week. lol The GFS pushes the initial front way south while the Euro keeps it stalled over us. Then the GFS tracks the main low well north while the Euro tracks it over us, so this morning's runs are basically the driest and wettest possible scenarios.
-
Only 0.23" here last evening, but that puts me at about an inch for the month.
-
The warmest day of the week turned into another stuck-in-the-40s stinker. We may go the first nine days of April without hitting 50º.
-
The latest system dropped another 0.33" of rain here.
-
3-5" of snow fell from Dubuque into far nw Illinois. The snow is already nearly gone in Iowa as the clouds move out and the sun instantly burns it off.
-
0.45" of precip fell in my yard. There was just a bit of snow at the end that only dusted the ground a bit.
-
18z HRRR The HRRR had the snow farther south earlier this morning, but it has trended north toward the other models. Cyclone and I may end up just barely south of the 1-4" snow band.
-
For this area (I assume cyclone's area is similar) <15" winters are rare, but 15-25" is pretty typical in bad winters. Over the last fifteen years, my worst winters are 21", 20", and 17". I was fortunate to get 26" this winter.
-
Models are showing a nice burst of snow Saturday morning, with perhaps 1-3". The latest Euro has a nearly identical system Sunday night that drops another thin band of snow in the same area.
-
0.9" of snow here this morning in one brief burst. Unfortunately, I woke up shortly after it was over. As usual, the Des Moines area is the bulls-eye with 2-3".
