daddylonglegs Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yup...we dropped to 30F or 29F, but it didn't last...NW winds start howling very early this morning and the temp shot back up to 33F.... 32F right now... I checked some water I had sitting out last night and very little ice accumulation... Wind saved the day here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Low of 30 °F in Madison, tonight could be colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Beast...yup...but it was too cold in this area...i guess the "clowns" at the NWS had it right! I really thought we were heading for mid 20Fs. Tonite could be a better setup. The coldest 850C temps should be over the area this afternoon...if winds go calm, watch out tonite.

turtlehurricane Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 38 °F at the airport, only 34.5 °F on top of the met building. 850 hPa temperature of -9 °C so it's real chilly in the free atmosphere, even with full daytime mixing and heating we could only top out at 45 °F max. Steep lapse rates are driving convection though and the sky is clouding up so we probably won't get that warm. Maybe we'll see some frozen precip if the convection gets strong enough. Tonight when things clear out as convection shuts down it's gonna get real cold, should be a widespread hard freeze with a longer duration than last night's 2-3 hour freeze. Downtown may escape it if winds shut off due to UHI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMADreamer Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Going to be a lot of corn replanted around here after tonight I think. I'm thinking I'll only have 100 acres or so get burnt by the frost as most of it isnt' big enough yet to get hurt too bad. I have a neighbor though that is screwed if we really get as cold as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If these clouds stick around till sunset then decide to clear...were in trouble with the lows tonight I think! That's exactly what's gonna happen since these clouds are driven by solar heating. 850 temps are starting to warm too which will help get rid of the clouds quicker. 41 °F as of 2 pm and solar radiation is decreasing since we're 1+ hour past solar noon. Probably not gonna get much warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Lot more sun then clouds now over here... Turtle- I noticed the GFS warmed 850Cs pretty quick today/tonite...maybe more like -5C overnight? Still looking bad if we go calm... GFS had winds dropping as low as 4 ...ouch.

daddylonglegs Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 NWS out of La Crosse: CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED TO CLEAR OUT THIS EVENING AS DRIER AIR WORKS IN FROM THE WEST IN ADVANCE OF THE SURFACE RIDGE. WHILE 850MB TEMPERATURES DO WARM FROM -9C TO -6C OVERNIGHT...THE COMBINATION OF CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER NIGHT OF IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING. WITH TEMPERATURES FORECAST TO DROP BELOW 28F ACROSS MUCH IF NOT ALL OF THE REGION...ANOTHER FREEZE WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. Guy on another forum used a sprinkler last night to protect his best tree...ended up breaking it in half ...temp dropped to 25F where he lives in Iowa.

Hoosier Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Freeze warnings up for central Indiana. Point and click has a min temp of 29 for LAF. 12z MAV has 30 and 12z MET has 28.

On the conservative side, looks like we could spend at least 3-4 hours AOB freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
