cyclone77 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Storm was pretty lame. Blew through with little lightning, no wind/hail, and even the rain was pretty faggy. Temp dropped almost 10 degrees in a very short time though, back to 55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Picked up another 0.61" of rain tonight, better than I thought. There was no lightning/thunder with the rain around here. I'm now at 4.20" for the month with another potential heavy rain event coming this Wednesday. I hope we can save some good rains for June/July. Last year we had a solid April, but then the tap just shut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Already at 4.00" of rain in Milwaukee for the month through yesterday, tacked on an additional 0.11" overnight, with that forecast perhaps 10" for the month is attainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I stated before, the wettest April on record in MKE looks to be in jeopardy. Anyways pretty nice morning, although cloudy, cant argue with 59 degrees at 9am.

Anyways pretty nice morning, although cloudy, cant argue with 59 degrees at 9am. What is the record? I was just looking at the last 15 years, and the wettest April in those years was just over 6" in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 7.31" in 1973 and 1877 had 7", I think there was another year that had over 7" in April but I'm not sure. If 7.31" is the record, the GFS and NAM both indicate we near or break that record this week. Amazing to think that 6-8" of rain is on the table in the course of 12 days or so when the monthly record is in that same range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I already had 4.49" of rain for the month, and now we're seeing maps like this for Wed-Thu?? Wow. If this works out that's not good, as the maximum corridor of rain is falling directly over the entire length of the Rock River basin. Could be a very bad flood around here on the Rock.

daddylonglegs Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Upper 40Fs here...but it feels like a heat wave compared to this weekend! lol! At least the sun is out. One thing i can see happening is any thoughts of a hot summer might be going down the drain with all this moist soil around. I have over 4 inches of rain this month.

One thing i can see happening is any thoughts of a hot summer might be going down the drain with all this moist soil around. I have over 4 inches of rain this month. Maybe but it can change fast. Look at precip last spring vs last summer. If the pattern stays wet into May/June then I think that could be more telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the pattern stays wet into May/June then I think that could be more telling. We could still see a heat ridge, but I doubt that we could see a drought in the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest worse than last summer's this year, given all the rain that will be falling in April. Last April and May had near or slightly below average rainfall, but well above average rainfall would give many of us a bit of a buffer against a severe drought anyway.

frostfern Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well, it looks like GRR doesn't break the record for latest 60 degree temp. Torching at 64 under full cloud cover. Cold frontal rain bit the dust before it arrived (not that we need any rain). Aww shucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be middle of May up here...sweet corn should be ripe by Oct. Nope it's been too cold except for a few days. Fields are pretty wet too, with many still having some standing water. Looks like they'll have to wait until the very end of the month at the earliest with all this rain on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
