Been getting mostly sleet this morning with a few bursts of snow since the changeover. Luckily the back end of the defo band is only an hour or so away
The month of April has been a mixed bag around here recently. Varying from very cold and snowy(2018) to warm and wet(2017) and mild and dry(2021). Looks like the first week of the month will be seasonal to cool but the active storm track looks to continue. Those who know more than I are thinking the active weather will continue and possibly pick up for the second half of the month, which means more severe for the SE half of the sub and rain/snow chances for the NW half.
pretty impressive cold. We've had two straight days with almost wall to wall sunshine and we've only topped out in the low to mid 30s each day. Really shows the depth of the cold airmass
Under clear skies, fresh snow cover and an inversion we got down to 2 this morning at my house. The airport nearby stayed well mixed and is in the middle teens
we were in a real bounty stretch from about 2005-2016 but it's cooled off since then. The real untold story (besides the obvious December is garbage), is that March snowfall has really tanked here in the past 10 years
The main severe threat should be shifted east this season with the drought out west. Mildly optimistic about things especially as we head into summer.
for this weekend, looking at a strongly forced line to push nw out of Iowa and give us some gusty winds
major overperformance in temps for a second day in a row, closing in on 50 here after tagging 42 yesterday. The HRRR was the only model to sniff this out, as always the NAMs do horrible with temps coming out of winter and into spring.
