LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 If the trough is east of us, probably not much which isn’t good either since many of us are back in a drought. Yep, last nights line looked like it had some promise but did the NYC split. Onshore flow while moist tends to produce misery mist but not much actual precip. .

ForestHillWx Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Last year’s strawberry plants overwintered in the old bathtub I planted them in; nice buds on multiple plants. I’ll have to cover them Sunday/Monday as projected lows are 26. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 75 / 57 clouds to the north. Step down to upper 70s / low 80s with enough sun, possibly a bit warmer if mostly sunny in the warm spot. Perhaps a n isolated shower later today. Saturday looks great back towards normal , Sunday front comes through with best shot at any rain. Overall cooler than normal week - contingent on extent of onshore backing in and clouds could be near normal and a few nice days away from the onshore or pure / typical marine layer cool. Still looking mainly dry but these have a habit of rain popping on a several days. 4/17 : Warm 4/18 - 4/19 : Near normal 4/20 - 4/21 : Chill down 4/22 - 4/28 : Near - below normal perhaps wetter. 4/29 - beyond : moderation towards the end of the month / early May 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavy wet snow totaled 18.2 inches with the greatest accumulation on the ground of a foot. At times winds gusted to near 50 mph creating near blizzard conditions. The strong winds created high drifts halting auto and rail traffic. Many people were stranded. No lives were lost in Denver but several people perished in surrounding districts. Temperatures didn't make it out of the 20s. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1922 — A family of at least six tornadoes caused death and destruction along parts of a 210 mile path from north of Ogden IL to Allen County OH, killing sixteen persons. A post card, picked up in Madison County IN, was found 124 miles away near Mount Cory OH. (The Weather Channel) 1942: West Palm Beach, FL was soaked by 8.35 inches of rain in just two hours. (Ref.

Nearly 10,000 insurance claims were filed. (The Weather Channel) 1965 — The Mississippi River reached a flood crest at Saint Paul MN four feet higher than any previous mark. During the next two weeks record levels were reached along the Mississippi between Saint Paul and Hannibal MO.

(David Ludlum) 1970: After 10 p.m. near Cotton Center, TX, an F4 tornado “smashed flat as a pancake” a pickup; 2 people killed. Up to 6 blocks wide, it later hurt 40, caused $4.5 million damage in Plainview. It was hidden from view by fog, lack of lightning, and little accompanying noise. (Ref. Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA) 1983: Burlington, VT picked up 15.6 inches of snow to set an April record. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1984: A spring storm left snow across much of the central portion of Iowa. The greatest concentration of snow was in an 80-mile wide band from Monona County southeast to Des Moines and Knoxville. Four to six inches were common in this band but the greatest amount of 8 inches occurred in Des Moines. Temperatures hovering near the freezing mark prevented large accumulations on the road. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1987 — Twenty-two cities in the central U.S. reported new record high temperatures for the date. Temperatures warmed into the 70s and 80s from the High Plains Region to the Mississippi Valley, with readings in the low 90s reported in the Southern Plains Region. Tulsa OK hit 92 degrees.

Unseasonably cold weather prevailed in the north central U.S. Valentine NE was the cold spot in the nation with a record low of 10 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1994: Record Alaska cold -39°F in Umiat, -32°F in Prudhoe Bay are the coldest ever for so late in the year; +2° in Fairbanks is the coldest so late since 1972.

MANDA Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Picked up .06" rainfall with a quick moving t-shower around 10:00 last evening. Places west and NW of here did better with greater than .25". We'll see how much we can add on Sunday. Heat was nice but a bit much for mid April. Looking forward to a cool down but could do without the cold mornings upcoming early next week. On the other hand will be nice to sleep with the windows cracked open again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDA Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 13 hours ago, Picard said: Nothing from last night to my knowledge. The Tuesday night line went all around me with a gap over Sparta. I only recorded a trace. Meanwhile, western PA and up through Buffalo, Finger Lakes and the upstate is having it's third night in row of a pretty solid line of storms. No rain issues there. You should have done pretty good last night right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Gemini doesn't lie A dew point of 60°F–65°F (16°C–18°C) is typically when air begins to feel "sticky" or humid. When dew points reach 65°F–70°F ( – ), it becomes noticeably muggy and oppressive, while values above 70°F ( ) feel uncomfortable and very humid to most people.

winterwx21 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Downpours missing me just a few miles to the west. Too bad because it's so dry out there. However these downpours today are so tiny that they probably wouldn't have helped very much anyway. I'm having to water my broccoli and romaine lettuce plants almost every day with this warm dry pattern. I hope we're not going back into the drought, but it appears that there's a good chance it's going to happen. Not much rain in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
