Chicago WX Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Winds have slacked off here a bit for the time being. 44 MPH is the highest gust at LAF so far. Also, 68º at 3PM. Shorts, t-shirts, and burgers on the grill. Torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Card Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Looking down the road, some nice temperature contrasts (of 2m departures) being modeled for next Sunday and Monday. A true west vs east battle. Gorgeous looking maps....cromarties wooly worm theory at play or the curse of pastelok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 lol, it's trolling season. Anyways, sun coming back out here at the moment. I've got 70, blazing. Might need to fire up the AC. Nice. Any beach time today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Looking down the road, some nice temperature contrasts (of 2m departures) being modeled for next Sunday and Monday. A true west vs east battle. I just made a mess in my pants looking at that. 64F here right now with a heavy shower. Was outside until just before and it was mix sun/clouds and gorgeous. We need one of these maps all winter. Looks like the cold is shoved away as the warmth retrogrades west. I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Interesting pocket of extremely dry air over southeast Iowa. Several stations reporting dews in the mid teens. Seem legit as checking back at earlier obs they were near 50 earlier today. Must be some VERY dry air mixing down from above the BL. Our dews have dropped from near 50 earlier today down into the mid 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 DVN concerning the potential next weekend... FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...INTERESTING SITUATION AS MAJOR TROUGH IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES PUMPS GULF MOISTURE INTO THE MIDWEST ON A PERSISTENT STRONG LOW LEVEL JET. DEPENDING ON HOW FAST THE MOISTURE RETURN IS THERE COULD BE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT NORTH OF I-80. THIS WOULD BE OCCURRING WITH STRONG WARM ADVECTION ON THE NOSE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET. CONTINUED FEED OF WARM MOIST AIR DUE TO A DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SHOULD ALLOW FOR DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITH SHOWALTERS WELL INTO THE NEGATIVE NUMBERS. WILL MENTION CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH LIKELY POPS SUNDAY NIGHT AS STRONG COLD FRONT ARRIVES. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH MAX TEMPS ON SUNDAY WELL INTO THE 60S IF NOT 70+. GIVEN THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN WITH SUCH STRONG WIND FIELDS PROGGED BY THE ECM A RATHER UNUSUAL LATE NOVEMBER SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS POSSIBLE. STAY TUNED.

Harry Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Looking down the road, some nice temperature contrasts (of 2m departures) being modeled for next Sunday and Monday. A true west vs east battle. Interesting stuff i found. After viewing that/euro etc i went and looked back at Novembers that featured what we have and may look to have this go around with Nina and amazingly enough the closest i could find to this month was ONLY 1964. I went all the way back to the late 1890s too. Thus i guess what you can say is that what we have is pretty rare. Note the warmest + departures are in the GL/NE and thus north.

Harry Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well done. I'd take a 1964-65 repeat for what it's worth. Thanks. That winter i see featured a pretty cold Feb and March which is also when most of the snow fell around here. Every month ( D-J-F-M ) was below normal temps but yeah Feb and March were well below normal. The holidays ( Christmas/New Years ) kinda sucked ( torchy with 53 on Christmas eve ) but the rest of it was not too bad around here. November started out very torchy with 60s and 70s till the 17th when it finally broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 That is just ugly. Very very ugly. I guess it is better to be warm now while temps can routinely get into the 60s and low 70s than have this during good snow fall months. 77F today was so nice and warm, we could see 75F tomorrow here if we can get any sun.

See November 64 which featured alot of this. That November though had a few 70+ days and a slew of 60s around here. Had a brief period ( 5 days ) of below normal temps right before Thanksgiving. It wasn't till the 29th that the cold came in and stuck around for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
