Pattern April Thread

Made it to 75*F at DFW today with sunny skies.

Hopefully, we're done with the 60s until next fall after yesterday.

Dropped to 46 this morning, great running weather lol. I really hope the winds stays up tonight as most models are showing but with very dry air in place, some areas (like mby) not getting much rain yesterday to moisten up soils and models always underestimating radiational cooling, could be close call. I think the wind does the trick but I'll be watching my newly planted garden closely tonight just in case

After today, forecast is in the mid/upper 80s for the extended.

Still a sensitive forecast though (could end up cooler) depending on how the pattern evolves behind a pair of shortwaves this weekend.

Good thing is we are likely to have some pretty sizable dewpoint depressions so even if we realize a few 37-38 degree readings the mega frost potential would be low unlike last week where the dew recovered when mixing stopped and we were at 36/36 by 10pm

We may have some clouds sneak in towards morning too which may help but I'm not sure we can depend on it. This NW flow with WAA stacking up against the back of the trough should direct increasing amounts of mid and high level moisture our way over the next 72 hours. I just hope we don't get stuck in
a craptacular cloudy day with highs in the 50s with a lot of virga (see Saturday) if it does that I'd rather eek out a decent rain event

Awesome weather day today. I'd take this year round in a second. We basically got nothing yesterday as far as rain IMBY. I think the airport reported .07

Exact same amount at the homestead. My niece sent me a video yesterday on snap (wished I had saved it to share it) but it looked like a wall of rain but she then said "nope that's not rain, that's dust and pollen". No lie man the dust/pollen was so think with the outflow from storms that you could not see the stop sign in the video that is only 100 yards from her house.

Finally getting some rain in SFL. Received 1.2" over the last hour, and NWS has issued a Flood Advisory for a general 2". Rain in the forecast for the next 7 days. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=26.122310000000027&lon=-80.14337999999998#.Ymr7jPPMJZg

It has been dry and comfortable down in the FL tropics over the last several months. 6 Months of Beautiful Weather. Tropical Winter is now over, and Summer is about to arrive.

Edit: 2" Forecast severely underperformed. Only .04 in the basket. Station nearby only made it to .01. The Ministry of Truth will hear of this.

41.6, cool but nowhere near issues and hopefully threat of frost is in the rearview mirror

Almost had to eat these words this morning. Temp has come up a few degrees now but bottomed out at 36, geez
 
April should end up around +4*F above normal for DFW, with two 90*F days and only 2 days with a high below 70*F (69*F and 68*F respectively).

It would also be the 11th or 12th warmest April on record.
