Slacker.

cloudy72 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 10:03 am Let's hope the long range GFS is incorrect because after a nice warmup from THU of this week through next MON, we are back in the funk of below normal temps into the first of May if this run is correct. Euro pretty much states the same thing as well.

tpweather wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 8:03 am Good Morning and looks like a nice today for some outdoor work. How about parts of western and northern North Dakota expecting another 6-12 inches of snow. Yes they usually get snow in April but we are talking about totals nearing 40 inches for the month in some areas and this also helps keeping colder air masses getting further south than normal this time of year as we know. Rainfall totals overnight will largely be influenced by the llg that may enhance the rainfall during the early morning hours of Thursday. I am going with .25 to .50 though will watch the time period from 4am-8am for any enhancement of the rainfall. How quickly does the rain move out and we are able to get some sun and that is a tricky question though folks to the south have a better shot. The front stalls and heads back to the north but will this give us some additional showers late Thursday and early Friday? Weekend looks great and though temps should get near 80 the humidity will not be bad at all. Another cold shot next week and maybe another after that for early May. Last several years we are getting a later start to spring but also autumn hangs on longer so is this just a bleep in time or is there more to this change of seasons in terms of timeline.

LOL! It's bad when puddles are rippling in the parking lot.

Not quite as high with the temps that models showed a few days ago as the southeast ridge not quite as strong. Could see some showers later Sunday most likely after dark but could start to see some higher clouds in the afternoon. Monday and Tuesday looked terrible once again but need the rain but not sure how much is going to fall but one thing for sure is those darn winds will be picking up once again.

Tim, great to be reading your posts again. Can't seem to Get out of this pattern of dominant cold shots with a few warm days mixed in. The warmth these next few days will be most welcome to help dry things out. No rain needed IMBY as the constant cold and cloudy days don't allow any drying even though we may be below normal in precipitation.
