  1. Left home several years back and it was near a 100 at home to see a concert at Ravinia on the lake 30 miles asway. Ended up buying sweatshirts in mid July for the wife and I. Brutal.
  2. on cue:A MIDDLE LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE FROM THE DAKOTAS TOWARD LAKE SUPERIOR AND POTENTIALLY SEND A MCS WEST TO EAST JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA OVER WISCONSIN. WHILE BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE DRY, THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY ON THIS STORMS TRACK AND ITS INFLUENCE IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS. FOR NOW, IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE ANY EXCESSIVE HEAT PRODUCTS FOR THE WEEKEND. -LOT
  3. unexpected convection and blow off cirrus will keep it in check....almost always does. It'll feel like summer,and the lighting bugs will prosper. Good stuff.
  4. Keep it moving north. Going to be in southern wisconsin on a short lake vacation. I'll take the sun and warmth.
  5. Update: Froze my azz off in my upper deck seat with no sun. Outside beer deck in the sun was warm and beautiful. Two different days 40'apart.
  6. Memorial Day. Off to wrigley to see Cubs vs. Rockies. Might be 60 with some cloud cover. But I'll survive.
  7. next winter's cold is already being wasted.
  8. Dust storm in Chicago......Climate Changer
  9. Ain't gonna lie, the Spartman posts for Memorial Day have me spooked. We're due for an ugly one.
  10. that's twice in a week Spartman has quoted me:
  11. "BY EARLY NEXT WEEK THERE IS GREATER SPREAD IN GUIDANCE REGARDING WHERE THAT UPPER LOW WILL END UP. " LOT Forecasters:
  12. early summery period may have been delayed, but denied. I'm all in.
  13. Climo dictates always temper your forecast and expectations in Early May to the side of a closed upper low versus ridging. Heck, even into early June I don't trust the upper low to win the battle.
  14. From LOT AFD Highlights yesterday at this time: ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. Ugly miss and turn of events.
  15. striking how old the years of the previous winters were with so little snow.
  16. Well aware. I oversee 20 snow removal sites in SE Michigan. Felt like it snowed .2" everdyay from Thanksgiving until Valentines day. Strange winter.
  17. just a little friendly shiat giving.
  18. grass is still brown. Simpler stat.
  19. yep. The sound of thunder as the warmth pushes in. Shame it won't last long.
  20. Chicago was lucky.Went from John Coleman to Tom Skilling. Coleman of course later went on to help create TWC. He also was the only met to forecast the Chicago Blizzard of 1979. Official forecast was 2-4". Watched his 10 pm forecast that night when he was forecasting a blizzard with over a foot. I thought he was crazy.
  21. I'd call and talk to Tom Skilling. He always took my calls. Fact.
