cyclone77 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Great evening to mow. Temps have dipped back into the low 70s. Bugs aren't bad yet either, which is always nice. Ended up tagging 80 today. 4th 80 degree day of the month already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 ... Bugs aren't bad yet either, which is always nice. ... Had a wasp in the bathroom this A.M.. First of the season. Fly swatter made short work of the critter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Wind off LM is relentless this spring. After tomorrow we do Dec 2015 for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Doesn't look like a bad severe day tomorrow. Decent LR and low wet bulbs could make for some good hailers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Wind off LM is relentless this spring. After tomorrow we do Dec 2015 for a week. I know the forecast is a drag for the last week of April. Front still hasn't cleared at this hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Still at 62 tonight. Was going to get some stuff done in the garage, but ended up sitting on the couch watching game of thrones... Hoping for a NAM like instability tomorrow, and maybe some nice hailers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 A super impressive turnaround on temps from the first half of April to the second half of April, we were running a -10.8 departure, and turned around in a huge way. Forecasted to hit 83 today, April sure has been eerily quiet severe weather wise in the sub. This week should change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Front finally pulled through in the early morning hours here. Now up to 77°. Should be the first time this year it makes it to 80° here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Found 50 morels in couple hours Sat. at a sometimes sweet spot with that last bit of rain and then some chilly air. Looks like a good setup for some more with the 7 day forecast although I don't like all of this rain that may be coming, as it leads to mud! I found 50 after work Friday and 50 more early Saturday morning, before the hoards began swarming the public land that I hunt. Soil temps were there and the rain Thursday night did the trick. If we get any rain tonight, I'll be out for round 2 tomorrow evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's been a decent season so far, better than last year around these parts that's for sure. I'm heading out tomorrow also, my last chance until Sunday. Good luck!

Geos Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Nice flowering trees pics Snowfreak. Got some of those around here too. Looks like the stage of the greenup here is similar to there. Maybe slightly ahead - like a week. Still very warm out with lightning in the distance.

stormtrackertf Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Everything is in full bloom in my yard.And now we're getting a solid late night thunderstorm. Feels like spring for sure. Late spring even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Temp fell about 22° in about 45 minutes here. One thing that is growing good this month is ferns. Getting all kinds of new plants in the last 10 days. Edit: Fog has now rolled in on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 84 was the high here today. Ties for the warmest temp of the year so far. 5th 80 degree day. Didn't get a drop of rain today, but looks like we'll get quite a bit of rain Wednesday and Thursday. Euro looks really wet with the weekend system as well.

Chitown Storm Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 44 and dreary here this morning. Looks like the end of April will be cool and wet. However, all trees have buds on them now and the grass is green so at least it looks like spring finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I swear the trees had that early spring dormancy look to them as of last Friday, now it's full blown late spring early summer look out there with the leaf out!

Geos Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 40° with a WC around freezing. My birch tree leaves are about 1/2 inch long now. Red maple tree popped some very small leaves out. Rest of the trees in my yard just have buds still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of the trees in my yard just have buds still. 41 for a high, but already back in the 30's now under full sun all day... low should be around 20 tonight. trees are all pretty much still dormant looking.

cyclone77 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Only upper 50s today due to thick clouds all day. Was forecast to hit 70 yesterday, and then lowered to 65 this morning. Still not a bad day though. Some of the trees leaves are getting close to full grown now. Particularly the hard maples. Usually the soft maples mature before the hard maples around here, but not this year apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks...as much as I HATE spring, I always like looking at the flowering trees. spring is probably the most beautiful season along with fall. really weird to see someone who actually hates it. move to Barrow! you're a snowbird stuck in the south after a long cold great lakes winter, anyone who hates Spring is questionable IMO.
