Forecasting / Spring/Summer Weather Discussion Thread
« on: April 22, 2013, 06:51:23 PM »
Thought I should start a thread. Gives this little subforum life. Feel free to discuss anything, your local weather complaints, to weather pattern discussion etc. 
The majority of us are wondering where is spring? It really hasn't been here for most. I know Mac in Grand Forks is really hoping for some warmer weather. Luckily he'll get some starting this Friday. Anyway, good news going into the long range. One of the reasons why we've been so cold is because of where the all this cold air is coming from, Canada. H5 heights have been pretty low in the Hudson Bay area and north. This time last year, southern Canada was pretty thawed out. Not so much this year. With decent snow pack in Canada and a favorable cool pattern there, it has been an unrelentless supply of cold air. Places in the North Central US have temp departures about -10°F to -15°F. Here's the good news. Models have been signaling for a rise in heights and warm up over the northern central plains extending into Canada. This should begin the thawing out of Canada and ultimately diminishing our supply of cold air.
While the warmer temps in Canada eat away our cold air supply, the CFSv2 weeklies have been signaling a warm up, and possibly a major warm up, the first two weeks of May. It starts off warm in the northeast and then spreads south and west into the mid west. A Quebec ridge builds up then spreads west for the first two weeks of May. Having an ideal ridge to our north is a good spot for a potential heat wave. Anymore north and east the ridge and we could be talking some back door cold fronts.
With the diminishing cold air supply heading into May, I think we'll start seeing above average monthly departures again.

69°F Sunny
April can be a crazy month with temps, we went from 30's to 80's in less than 5 days. Even looking at the daily records, one can tell April is a crazy month with temps, and that can be for pretty much everywhere in the US.
Today's records:
High: 94°F (2002)
Low: 26°F (1966)

54.5°F Fair
We've haven't seen much of spring either. We've had one warm spell, one day in the 80's, and one day in the 70's (which was quickly shot down after the sea breeze kicked in). A little warm up this week, but on shore flow for most of the days will keep us mostly cloudy and in the 60's. Pat is right, we may not see any real spring until May. Models continue to show cool air over the east and a ridge and warmth over the west through early May.
