Only scattered showers east of those 2 counties. Now I'm seeing that gulf coast convection may really cut totals with the next system. Is Jonesville an ancient Indian burial ground or something?

Solak Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Right at 1.00" drought this morning. Yard is squishy for the first time in forever! Hopefully, most of the pine pollen has been washed out of the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Ryan MaueVerified account @RyanMaue 26s26 seconds ago Strong storm Thurs-Fri for any season. Windy, wet and snow on the backside for New England, Great Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Could see some frost heading into this weekend. We're getting into that time of year where, if you see frost, it could be the last time until October (or so). .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 400 AM Wednesday... Anomalously deep cyclone over the NE US, featuring negative H5 anomalies on the order of 3 to 4 S.D., will lift slowly north into New England Friday and Friday night. Perturbations rotating around this low will drop sewd and cross our region, causing periods of cloudiness and possibly a few sprinkles across the area on Friday, But a second consecutive day of windy conditions will be the main story, with winds gusting to 30 to 35 kts, slightly under what we are expecting on Thursday. With the core of the colder air over the region through Saturday, dry and seasonably cool conditions will occur Friday through Saturday night with winds dropping off considerably on Saturday as the sfc high builds east into the area. Lows Friday night and again Saturday night are expected to fall in the 35 to 40 degree range, with best radiational and the best chance for patchy light frost Saturday night as the sfc high settles overhead. It`s possible that northern portions of the piedmont may need frost advisory Saturday night. Warming trend commences Sunday and continues thru Tuesday as the sfc high drifts east and offshore, in advance of our next coldfront approaching from the west. Meanwhile, strong ridging aloft will support dry conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 More on the potential frost (and even maybe a light freeze): <RAH> .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 1045 PM Wednesday... A ridge is expected to amplify across the Deep South and Eastern US through over the weekend into early next week. Thethermal trough will shift east as well on Saturday, with high pressure to settle overhead late Saturday, resulting in the best chance of frost (and even a few freezing temps) Saturday night. A warming trend will then continue through the week as returnflow develops between the departing high and cold front approaching the Tenn Valley Tuesday and Wednesday, which also brings the next chance of showers around the middle of the week. -Smith/Ellis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice indeed, but I won't put any faith in anything below normal, for more than a couple of days, until after it happens. Forecast for GSP over the next week is low 80s / 60 ish, which is about average for early June, not mid April. SIIGGHHH, back to what we've been all Fall, Winter, Spring...
