cyclone77 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 If we wouldn't have had that intense period of very heavy snow last week I would have been pretty salty about barely missing out on the squall action today. MLI peak gust was 58mph today. HRRRX shows us reaching 75 tomorrow, with Hawkeye reaching 77. That will be an amazing turnaround compared to today. Also about a 45-50 degree rise over the morning low temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Apparently they don't salt roads around Detroit after April 1st. Average speed up 75 was 40 on the way home. Ground is covered. I would say about 1.25" OTG. Not sure on exact total throughout the day was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Temp is tanking right now, down to 27°. I can imagine it's going to get pretty darn cold in MI tonight. DMC, they should throw some sand then on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Would be curious to know our last 40 degree diurnal range here. Would be cool tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 HRRR is even more ahead of the HRRRX for temps. HRRRX has temps about 4 degrees lower than the HRRR through 19z, and still gets us to the mid 70s. HRRR might make a run at 80 if trends continue lol. Since we're already down to 28, and still dropping we would have a shot at a 50 degree rise. EDIT: RAP has us pushing 80 by late afternoon. That would be pretty amazing. Also looks like some more 45mph+ gusts by afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Can see why the RAP has temps so warm. Mixes well above 700mb. Guessing the HRRR is similar. 12km NAM retains a warm layer up around 850 that hasn't fully mixed out, and results in temps about 7-10 degrees cooler compared to the RAP/HRRR. I'm guessing we'll see full-on mixing with full sunshine, very dry low-levels, and high momentum west-southwest wind fields in the lower 3km. This screams over-achieving temps. Don't know if we will make a solid run at 80, but think mid 70s are quite doable. RAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Probably overdone a bit, but HRRR is getting it down near 20° by 8z. 25° currently. 50s tomorrow, I'll take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have a good shot to overachieve even up there by the lake with such strong westerlies. 60+ may not be out of the question. Down to 27 here. Dead calm out there. Hard to believe that just 12hrs ago we were getting consistent gusts over 50mph. Winds already turning southerly just to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Down to 23, completely calm winds. Feels like early January, not April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 New 06z HRRR has DVN and MLI both at 79 at 21z. Currently they're at 28/29 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 6z NAM almost up to 6" of snow for Toronto for tonight. If that pans out it'd be the biggest April snowfall in decades. Also...if that amount falls + an inch or two from the generally cold pattern ahead, there's a chance the snowiest month in the "winter" of 2015-16 ends up being April. That'd be nuts.

IWXwx Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 New 06z HRRR has DVN and MLI both at 79 at 21z. Currently they're at 28/29 respectively. That's just an amazing swing. Even a person who is not a weather hobbyist should be amazed at this weekends' shenanigans. I'll be happy with my 30+° rise today. Gonna be freakin' windy again though. We were lucky yesterday in that very few people lost power, although two trucks got blown over out on I 69. After all of the snow squalls, I ended up with 0.2" of accumulation overnight.

weatherbo Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm going to be a little farther north in/near Milwaukee tomorrow, but here it should hit 60°. Huge contrast over WI. Wow @ that spread. Should remain in the mid 20's for a high today after a low of 2. Finished with a tad under 10" yesterday. 3 day total of 15.7" and another 5-7 today tonight. Love this fast clipper pattern!

dmc76 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The weather for the next week here looks horrific for early April. Well, it's Michigan. We had a nice stretch of mild weather now it's time for a stretch of colder weather. I don't know why people are so stunned by this weather. You live in Michigan. If you thought back in March 12th winter was over! Well, you haven't learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Frozen April morning. The light paste of snow on the ground crunches when you walk on it. Got down to 23F at DTW but 22F at DET and 14F at DTX! And this will probably not be the coldest morning this week. Tuesday morning and Friday or Saturday morning may be colder.

I don't know why people are so stunned by this weather. You live in Michigan. If you thought back in March 12th winter was over! Well, you haven't learned. I think people are more so just sick of the string of non-above average and/or snowy Aprils we've had lately.
