cyclone77 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Last coolish day before several warm and humid days coming in. Low temps will hold in the 60s for several nights. Awaiting a dying Iowa blob of anvil rains this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Pretty incredible stretch of temperatures coming up for Mid-April. We have had warmer, and similar length stretches of warmer temps. But having 70s and humid for at least 5 days straight is impressive, as usually it's dry when we get warm for that long this time of year, ala 2023. Going to be stacking up the rain totals as well, especially if areas have multiple rounds of T-storms. Could be a significant flooding issue in the UP and basins coming off of that area and the North Shore where there is still a significant snowpack. GRB has noted the possibility of the Menominee River reaching moderate or major flood stage later in the week. That plus the multiple severe days is going to make it a very busy week for the region. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Have a shot at our first 70 degree dew Tue or Wed. This would be less than a month after the blizzard on March 16th. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was driving through Grand Rapids yesterday and noticed the Grand River was awfully high. Same with local rivers and streams around my neck of the woods in Battle Creek. Going to be a humid summer.

Cary67 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Grass is threatening to be mowed,streaks of warmer days, fewer days regressing back to the 30s and 40s. Tulips emerging..signs real spring is here and pseudo spring is coming to an end. About 4 weeks to enjoy upper 50s to mid 70s weather before the switch flips to summer late May. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 39 degrees this morning, hoping for a high in the mid-50's. Days and nights should remain above freezing for the next week. NWS MQT mentioned most of the UP should be snow free by the middle of next week with the exception of the Keweenaw and the high terrain along Superior from Herman through here and down to Negaunee where 3 to 4 feet of snow still remains. Put the rain gauge out yesterday for the first time since October and recorded .5 inches last night. Snow depth here is just over 40" with drifts and piles still 5-6' in spots where the snow was piled all season. Went out to the back of the property yesterday to check my hunting shack and see how it fared the winter, and it's still standing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmillzz Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 On 4/9/2026 at 5:13 PM, Baum said: Normal defines something as standard, typical, or average, conforming to a regular pattern rather than being abnormal or unusual. It refers to actions, states, or measurements that fall within expected, natural, or healthy limits. As a noun, it refers to the standard condition, or in math, a line perpendicular to another. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] my interpretation in this instance: A typical spring back and forth temperature pattern with frequent bouts of rain, and thunderstorms including some early spring snow events. Interspersed with some spectacular weather days reminding one summer will soon be here in all its beautiful grandeur. been much warmer and wetter than a "normal" spring and will continue to be for the forseeable future, but okay lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my world, just enjoying the annual tug of winter to summer as it transitions. As they say; to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
