rainsucks Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 we'd end up having 5 days in a row of 80+ if it weren't for ORD's highly questionable sensor. It's either that, or other reporting sites are running too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Leave for spring back nd of March in a blizzard 2'+ OTG still, enjoy 90s in Mexico/Caribbean, come back home this week and in the 80s hitting 85 today. Finally have bare ground again and just some stubborn snowplow piles left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looming El Niño has piqued my interest. Has there ever been a triple dip La Niña into Strong El Niño? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Minneapolis got up to 88 again this afternoon, breaking the record high of 85. The last remaining ice on Lake Nokomis a few blocks from my house melted out today. 9 days later then the long term average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 My farmers tan is almost in midsummer form after a few days working in this heat. This photo was taken today in a soon to be suburbanized part of Rosemount MN when it was 82 outside. Still some pockets of deeper snow in spots. Bonus points to anyone who knows what kind of drill rig that is in the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 A beautiful 66 today then winds turned ne'rly and the temp dropped into the 40's. Should be in the 70's tomorrow before an interesting weather weekend. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been a triple dip La Niña into Strong El Niño? The only other two 'triple dip' La Niña occurrences (1974-76 & 1999-2001) were followed by neutral ENSO summer conditions. So this will be new and unknown territory we are entering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the NAM so take it with a grain of salt….but 4-6” of snow after multiple 80 degree days would be something. It’s definitely going to snow Sunday, the question is how much.

Duluth area was in the running for a seasonal record also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't dare post a picture it's so gross, but there was still a small pile of black snow in the blazing sun yesterday at a nearby mall. The once massive pile of snow now had so much dirt and debris on the pavement that they were cleaning and sweeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always neat to see a sharp drop or a sharp warm up Speaking of temp swings, there has been very impressive diurnal swings with this warm spell. The radiating areas have been falling into the 40s nightly after hitting 80+ in the afternoon. In fact, ARB was 39 this morning after 82 yesterday. Most of the rest of the area was in the 40s with exception of DTW at 51. This is after low 80s yesterday and likely 80 again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp swings are just as fascinating at other weather aspects. Even tho it was 49 when I arrived as soon as the sun hit I was warm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidIcewx Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I definitely notice the warmth since winds are light and variable right now. Going to definitely be warm outside today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Weirdly enough my low was back down to 6C like Weds but made up for it around 10-11am by jumping to 25C on my station; TWN had a 6C disparity (19C). I'm running 2C too warm typically. I was under an poor air quality advisory briefly then like that svr t-storm warning 10 days ago it was yanked fast also around 10am.

Harry Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 So this is what it feels like living in the desert? Temp 82 and the humidity is only at 20%! Was 47 this morning. Already broke the record high which had been 80 set in 1941. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
