michsnowfreak Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Got home from humid Miami at 7pm, greeting by snow falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 High of 43° today here. Noticed clouds are starting to break up. Temp dropped to 37° as of 10pm. My Rhododendron are blooming - the only plants I'm worried about getting too much cold tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Not too shabby off of Lake Erie right now... The DTX, APX and GRB 0z soundings all suggest inversion heights near or just a little below 10k feet tonight with the lake to 850mb temp differential improving to 13-15C+ later tonight with -8 to -10C air at 850mb moving over the western basin which has water temps in the mid to upper 40's. There's a pretty describable surface trough over northern lower MI dropping SE, so my guess is the current band hangs on in some way, shape or form through the night and probably peaks in intensity just before dawn as the trough passes before weakening later tomorrow morning. Temps are in the upper 30's so even though the precip type appears to be all snow or graupel right now it probably isn't sticking anywhere in NE Ohio. We'll see how things go if the band sits for a while or temps cool a little more...I could certainly see a 1-3" type accum for someone just east of Cleveland which isn't bad for late April...we haven't had accumulating snow this late in the month since April 23-25, 2005. I'll be in Athens where it's mostly clear and chilly right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 37F/22F here..winds are pretty much calm...just went outside to cover a few things... sky is as clear as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Down to 36 here. Should dip below freezing by daybreak. Had to discontinue weather station upload again, as the driver that I need to run the software is apparently not compatible with W8.1. Kept crashing the pc. Very frustrating how sensitive some of these op systems are to little things like driver compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I actually had to brush snow off my car this morning. While I'm ready for spring, it's always nice to see a bit of snow falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I see we hit 28F...but it must have been between obs.. The nws reports on the hour....how often does the data actually get reported? every minute? Is that kept somewhere that is accessible on the internet or do they keep that to themselves? Other then that..looks like a nice day today...next week COULD torch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The Cedar Rapids airport hit 24 this morning, but here in the city only a few of the stations dipped below 30. My bird bath only had a thin layer of ice on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call last night OHweather!CLE's PNS had some 1-2" reports, not too bad for so late. After a morning low of 28 it's already 51 in Athens, actually doesn't feel too bad after yesterday!

Hoosier Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Knocked about 1.5 degrees off the month's positive temperature anomaly over the past few days and currently sit at +2.7. The remaining days should not be as far below average as what we saw yesterday so the departure by months end may end up at 0 or just above.

Geos Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Had ice on my bird baths this morning. Hard freeze for sure occurred - woke up to frost. Looks like it stayed below freezing from 1am to almost 7am at UGN, low of 27°. Another windy day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Few scattered flurries today, though not as much as yesterday. Looks and feels like late November or early December. April 23rd and the 1pm game time temp at Comerica Park was 33F. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 23rd and the 1pm game time temp at Comerica Park was 33F. Wow. Crazy. Been in the low 30's all day here, but there wasn't any frost last night.

Geos Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Topped out at 50°, now heading down with a lake breeze blowing inland. That's really something that people in lower MI had a dusting of snow this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoof Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I wish / hope the potential saturday night snowstorm around here would trend 40 miles more north as it has been seeming to trend north and stronger almost every model run, I'm at 42" now for the seasonal snow total, and well if it is going to be cold I might as well root for more snow lol, 33 degree rain does nothing for me so bring it on!!!

Brewers Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 MSP had a dew point depression of 51 degrees, relative humidity down to 12%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Made it to 37 under full sun today. was able to melt some snow off but it's still covering everything here. Thought this was pretty cool: The clearing skies today offered a unique look at the snow that fell over the past few days. Snow showers tracked NW to SE over this time, with some snow showers producing high snowfall rates. The paths of the heaviest showers can be seen as streaks of remaining snow cover on satellite. Most of these streaks are only about two miles wide, showing how snowfall can vary considerably over small distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 MSP had a dew point depression of 51 degrees, relative humidity down to 12%. I was just going to say, it's 53F with a dew point of 1F right now. I'm sure I'll think otherwise when it's 95/90 this summer, but this dry air sucks.
