  1. @Chicago Storm your thoughts on the warmth potential next week? I have to admit, it does look like things could heat up big time, but I’m also concerned that the warmth could eventually be shunted to our south due to the flattening of the ridge.
  2. Sadly it's probably going to trend south and weaker
  3. snow in the middle of the day on April 12!!! CAN’T WAIT
  4. I’m growing concerned we may not see any 70s until possibly May. For a while, I was coping hard, but now I can truly see how awful this pattern is. And it’s only going to get worse with relentless high-latitude blocking. At this point, i’m just sad. I want some actual good spring weather so I can actually ENJOY being outdoors without freezing my ass off or dealing with the bullshit of lingering wintry weather. I’m not sure how much longer I can take of this garbage, really…
  5. looking really bad this year, guys. Top 10 coldest April possibility?
  6. DCA +1.0 NYC +0.5 BOS -1.0 ORD -5.0 ATL +2.0 IAH +1.5 DEN -2.5 PHX +1.0 SEA -2.0
  7. I'm really starting to wonder if it's linked to climate change. I'd much have rather have it the other way around though, that's for sure
  8. think we might have an April 2018 redux this year, the long range is looking pretty bad.
  9. Not looking good this year, but we'll see I guess.
  10. This is the time of year where Chicago and points north are usually on the miserable side of the front.
  11. watch the warm front stall near I-80, that’s how it goes this time of year.
  12. 2021 was an overall pretty good spring around these parts, we got lucky that year. Sadly that doesn't look to be the case this year.
  13. We had some exceptionally warm winters in the 1870s and 1880s, winters that would make this one look frigid in comparison.
  14. If some of the past GFS runs had verified, this would’ve ended up being one of the coldest Marches on record.
  15. Depends how Thursday plays out. Some slight concerns that the warm front gets hung up around I-80 or even further south. Should still be on the mild side even if that happens tho.
  16. NWS playing it conservative per usual, and the cold front that you’re referring to isn’t going to affect overall temps that much.
  17. I think it's important to note that the models have been exhibiting a rather severe cold bias this year. Personally, I'd take any long-range solution that shows noteworthy/long-lasting cold with a grain of a salt. I mean, look at how the GEFS has trended over the past several runs.
  18. I'm well aware of what our normals are, and all of next week looks to be above that, with Thursday in particular looking to be very mild for the region. Hell, you may not have a daytime high below 50 for the entirety of next week.
  19. This is not going to verify well imo, at least for our region. The 18th and 19th look to be the only actual cold days, with the rest of that timeframe being slightly above to potentially well above average, we'll see tho.
  20. There's been plenty of other years long ago with wintry weather lingering deep into spring, it's nothing new. Truth is locations north of 40N tend to have garbage springs for the most part, and that's especially true for the Great Lakes region. It's just the way our climo is unfortunately
  21. My hopes aren't too high for a warm April either, but what makes you so sure that it's a lock?
  22. 11 years ago today was the start of what I personally consider to be the most anomalous temperature event in recorded history. 80s for days on end along with dews well into the 50s and even 60s (which provided us with very warm nighttime lows as well). Hard to fathom that happening now, especially with the current cold in place. At least next week looks decent https://www.weather.gov/lot/march2012_heat https://www.weather.gov/media/lot/events/March2012/March_Heatwave_2012_final.pdf
