A-L-E-K Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 That warm air sure looks nice down in the s part of the sub! Temp up to 37 with a se wind off superior.... should see rising temps tonight with a chance of rain and in the 50's tomorrow, then back to cold. Snow pack is stubborn, down to 28-30" now.

Yes, it's very nice to live west/south of the Great Lakes in spring. I don't think I could take the lingering cold due to the surrounding water.

weatherbo Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 yep! Yes, it's very nice to live west/south of the Great Lakes in spring.

Geos Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 70s so close, but yet so far away (~10 miles). Cold dense air winning out here this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The air is very dry across Iowa. The WPC has basically taken out any rain for eastern Iowa tonight. Models still show 0.10-0.50". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 42, dark clouds and rain moving in! Trust me...this 82F is nice, but the hurricane winds pretty much suck. I had the AC on in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 also, one things as the storms start to unfold from STC to between BDH and LJF. there are some brush fire plumes that are showing up on the twin cities radar attm (the one between Green Isle/GYL to Rockford being the most prominent). so let's hope the dualpol can keep them separate from the storms as they develop and not create any artificial interactions.

Chitown Storm Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 83F. Just insane. Grass fires throughout the metro that Jim mentioned are being fanned by the 50mph winds. The dust from the dry winter is being blown around and is reducing visibilities near Minneapolis. Storms unzipping from Sioux Falls to St Cloud. We need the rain big time.

Brewers Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Dew points are putrid across the entire region... 40-50 degree spread. Also impressed to see MSP at 83/35. Btw we broke the record high for the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twin Cities and Frankthetank are in the low 80's while down here we had only the second 60° day of the year today (66°). We MIGHT see 70° tomorrow, but it's going to be close.

weatherbo Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 pretty sweet temp spread up here. 37 at my house and low 60's a 100 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Made it up to 66° at the 8pm observation. Had a pretty good brush fire in Lockport, IL late this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 still sitting in the 70Fs ... dews still really low here... Could be awhile before the storms get in here. No records here....close i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 4 airplanes were diverted into La Crosse (i live near the airport) on their way to MSP because of the storms...i've seen this happen a few times before...its cool when bigger jets get sent here (we normally just get regional jets...rarely a 737 or a320)... we do get quite a few military jets coming in here due to what i imagine is runways that are normally empty (c130s/fighter jets) and get some chinooks, apaches, blachhawks every once in awhile.

cyclone77 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Still getting some southerly gusts over 30mph at times. Great night for sitting out on the porch and deck. So nice this time of year when there aren't any bugs out yet to pester you as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
