April 2024 Weather Discussion

[winterstormjoe]

Good morning all! 0.23" at CVG so far from this system. 0.21" at the Boone Co mesonet site and I have 0.24" here. Most of the rain is done minus our SE counties. Temps are around 60 this morning and will remain steady or rise into the low 60s at best today. The front will kick up the winds out of the NW as well once it passes. 50s and low 60s this weekend with lows in the 40s and U30s can be expected but dry. Monday looks nice in the mid 60s with sunshine before our next front and rain chances arrives by Tues afternoon sand night.

Happy Friday to you all!

Morning Les, I was planning to get the fire pit going this evening, but do you see the winds kicking up to the point that smoke and ashes will be blowing around a lot? I can always do this some other time! Thanks

The wind should lessen a bit this evening but I still think NW winds around 10 mph are still possible. We will see gusts to 20 mph this afternoon.

We hit our high this morning, around 60. Temps continue to fall behind the front as gusty N and NW winds usher in cooler air. 54 as of this post at CVG.

[tron777]

Dry air continues to filter into the region. Visible satellite shows the back edge of the clouds pushing into our SE IN counties. We should slowly start to see a little sunshine this afternoon. We will see the sun in our NW counties first, and in the SE counties last. We shall see if temps can recover towards 60, or if CAA keeps us in the 50s.

Today's 12Z GFS in the extended range has backed off on the cold, but it's still very active as far as rainfall is concerned. I understand that the farmer's could use a break, but from an IMBY perspective, I like it, I like it! That KY clay dries out so fast that getting rain every 3 or 4 days is good for my lawn.

I'm starting to see some blue sky showing up mixed in with the clouds here in Mason. Most of the thicker clouds are SE of I-71 per the latest visible satellite imagery.

CVG reached 71, DAY 68 and CMH 67 in the predawn today.

Good Morning and a nice period of dry weather expected over the next week or so. Looks like the only chance we have is later Tuesday and really not sure how much rain falls. Good for the farmers to plant and then we expect another uptick in storminess next weekend into the following week. That is what you want in spring and hopefully we can continue this through the month of May.

Yes starting to get hot in Florida and southern Texas with 90's showing up but that is normal this time of year as summer starts working northward. Good thing is the wet weather looks to remain over the southern plains and yes some rain to the northern plains and this is nice as well.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Good morning all! A frost advisory is in effect for counties north of Cincinnati tonight. Otherwise Tim's post has your forecast covered!

At least the kids work up a sweat so the wind will feel good to them.

They won 2-0. They won last week also. Coop had a nice defensive stop and one really nice shot on goal that almost went in.

A nice day if it weren't for the breeze. It's fine for the kids as you said Eric, just a bit nippy for the spectators.

Good Morning and nice and cold but no frost this morning but some likely Monday morning. Not many changes in the long term as late Tuesday expect some showers to invade but most folks stay below 0.25. Cooler behind that and then Friday and Saturday could bring a nice soaking to the area. Not sure on severe weather at this moment but will watch over the next few days.

Longer terms and really into early May wet weather continues and yes will watch for severe weather with each system as we will be bringing in some moisture from the gulf states. Overall the plains and Ohio Valley looks quite wet during the next two weeks and this could lead to a rather pleasant May in terms of temps and nothing getting out of hand.

Summer and I have no idea what may happen and a big part of the summer forecast is what happens leading up to summer. If the rains continue here and to the west over the next 30-60 days then most likely the summer may turn out nice with below or near normal temps but we have plenty of time to figure that out. Getting tons of vegetation is a key in keeping temps down and you can see this in the southwest as a few years of rains are keeping the temps from getting out of hand so far this spring though they will go up because of the natural landscape.

Had an awesome day mushroom hunting again. My brother and I found between 300-400 morels. Our best day ever!!! . I'll be back to talk weather tomorrow.

36 this morning at CVG with a frost advisory in effect. Otherwise a nice day with sun and low 60s. A little rain late Tues into Tues night with warmer air returning by the end of the week as the 70s reappear! However, we will see rain and t-storms Friday and Saturday at this time. Some decent rains still look to be possible.

Good Morning Les and looks like some folks will be below 32 this morning. Forecast looks good and yes late in the week better chances of rainfall though at the moment the best flow is into the central and northern plains and we tend to get the leftovers as they move east. Good to see the plains getting rainfall as they are still having some short term drought conditions but improving. So probably won't be a washout later this week into the weekend you can expect some periods of wet weather and again as temps rise we will need to look at severe weather as well. Next week looks unsettled as more chances of rain continue heading into May.

Good morning Tim! I was down to 32 when I left for work this morning. CVG was down to 33 as of the 5am and 6am readings. Concerning rainfall for late week, I did notice modeling backing off on the coverage so if that trend continues, I will also need to back off some as well. I am going to give it a couple of days though before doing so. I think we have one more frost threat too for Thurs morning (behind our next frontal system for Tues PM / Tues night). After that, hopefully.... we are done with that until Fall. I did notice that modeling has also backed off on the cooler weather that was once shown for late April and early May so if correct, after this week, could we finally begin to plant? That would be nice.

At the freezing mark here in G'ville and progged to top out at around 60 today.

Sure looking forward to the 70s again this weekend!

If modeling is correct on lower coverage of rain this weekend, down Cincy way, we could be looking at 80+ again.

I agree but I will be in Wisconsin where the rain looks likely. My son said is pond is still about 3 feet below what it should be so hopefully the rain will help. Are plan was to go up there and work in the yard but it may be to soggy. Leaving Thursday and coming back Sunday so a quick trip.
