ORH_wxman Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I about 1.5 under normal for the month, been stuck in that marine air with clouds and chilly breezes. One good day so far. Last year was awesome, everything was bloomed, grass growing full tilt etc. Looking around it's still got that bleak winterish look. Looking forward to some sunny, warm real spring type days with full clear blue skies. Couple of hours of late day sun just is not enough. Last year was a huge outlier for Aprils here. Its like expecting the winter of '09-'10 again in the Mid-Atlantic. That just doesn't happen. This year has actually been solidly above avg for temps thus far up here (but almost all of it was because of yesterday's temps)...its been pretty average otherwise. We'll see how it is another 2 weeks from now. What I don't want is a horrific late April and early May...those are the worst. I expect some pretty cruddy days though in the first 2-3 weeks of April.

Damage In Tolland Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 LOL alert the NG Spring has pretty much sucked arse, couple of hours of full sun since when? It's been a good spring overall. No backdoors..no miserable cold rainy days..except for tomorrow and maybe Saturday. Everyone is above normal..It's not last year..but we;ve had plenty of sunny , mild days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect some pretty cruddy days though in the first 2-3 weeks of April. i was looking over 4/10 temperatures the other day. they are really pretty remarkable. i will always remember that spring as being a once in a lifetime experience but i still was in a bit of shock when i went back and looked at the data...it was just so warm.

Yep you guys out of the marine influence have had a much better spring , just check PVD and IJD for that matter. What I would like is average temps with sun, been as I said , cloudy,chilly, windy. No complaints just stating the difference a couple of miles make. Yesterday actually at my house ended up being an average day. High of 58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday actually at my house ended up being an average day. High of 58 We've probably had 2 or 3 nice days here. Though only Sunday and Monday got above 60F. Its been pretty average here as far as I'm concerned with the huge exception of yesterday where we got above 70F with decent sun. I definitely wouldn't call this month exceptionally nice so far here but I wouldn't call it bad either. We still had winter on April 1st with nearly 7" of snow, lol.

I know , nice to get an April snow on the books again,ready now for baseball, frisbee,tee shirt weather. Eh nothing else to talk about weather wise, extended Dead zone until Sept H season or worse late Nov snow threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Things seem to be on track in terms of flowering as well. Forsythias are blooming, magnolias are starting, and those Norwegian maples are really starting to get those weird buds before they begin leaf out in a couple of weeks or so.

Baroclinic Zone Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I haven't cracked 70F all month and the last 3 days have been the only ones this month to crack 60F. 63/61/60 respectively. Just ho-hum April weather for me. It's been pretty dry rain wise after the rains on the 1st. Only 0.23" of rain since the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM has been horrible with this storm for the last few days. Looks like it hasn't gotten any better. I've stuck with the GFS/Euro for a while. Now in the near term, the HRRR doesn't look too bad.

OKpowdah Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 How do you get thunder from that? (not saying it's not, just not sure how you get thunder from a sounding) Thanks There's elevated instability in that sounding -- a parcel raised from ~750mb will rise moist adiabatically. The environmental mid level lapse rate is greater than moist adiabatic (as the mid level cool pool moves in) so the parcel will be warmer than the environment--> convective acceleration. For comparison's sake, here's the sounding that actually did produce thunder sleet back in February in Plymouth, accompanied by hail I might add!!!
