Chicago WX Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Models showing some really warm air aloft on Sunday with good mixing. Still a bit uncertain just how deep we will mix with current indications somewhere near 850 mb. My first guess for LAF is 86. If we can mix just a bit more, then upper 80's wouldn't be out of the question. I also predict that we won't drop below 75 overnight Sunday until the storms hit. 90º Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 That's a stretch Looks like we will be right on the fence of seeing 85-90 or 70-75 on sunday here just north of metro detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Was looking at some old data, and heres an interesting obs from 4-16-43. Glancing at the monthly data, I noticed 2.0" of snow fell that day but the high was 61 so I decided to check the observations. Looks like a blinding thunderstorm of snow blew threw in the morning, and the temp then soared to 61F by 2pm!!

cyclone77 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The trees are still barely budded here. With 80 Saturday and near 90 Sunday I think we'll be seeing the buds exploding open this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Looks like we will be right on the fence of seeing 85-90 or 70-75 on sunday here just north of metro detroit. Maybe 77-82 south of the front and 65-70 north. I'd be shocked if we were close to 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'll leave the board if ORD hits 87 That is bump troll material right there. I hope you don't leave over biting on Crotropsauk's bait.

Stevo6899 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 That's a stretch Ya never know. I've seen several times where forecast highs bust atleast 6-10 degrees too low. If the front comes a bit more north and its somewhat sunny who knows. Does look like the cold front comes through at night so severe weather looks minimal here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I highly doubt anything like this will happen, but if someone in the Midwest were to get this tornado outbreak over the weekend, then get a 12 inch snowstorm the next weekend, it might be the wackiest weather week in the Midwest. I assume it has happened before, but it must be pretty rare to get a tornado outbreak followed by a winter storm/blizzard less than a week later.
