Deck Pic Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I thought this might be useful in terms of comparing the upcoming "torch"....It is not perfect...I only used maxes....It had to be a 10 day stretch exactly and it had to occur entirely in January.....so 2/1/02 which hit 77 for instance could not be included....I eyeballed it a bit, so I may have missed a 10 day period in there....but I think I got pretty close to getting the top ones.... January 2-11, 1998: 61.7 January 22-31, 2002: 60.5 January 16-25, 1990: 58.0 January 5-14, 2008: 56.9 January 12-21, 2006 56.4 January 12-21, 1995: 56.3 January 1-10, 2007: 55.8 January 5-14, 2012: 52.3** **our warmest stretch so far this January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 the 1998 torch was insane....don't think you can get that in a Nina....8/10 days over 60 and the 2 "cold" days were low 50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I vividly remember the Jan 2002 torch. It started a few days after a modest 2-4" storm, and then a week after that storm, it completely felt like spring, and I recall seeing monthly record highs being broken all across the midwest, and daily record highs in just about every region east of the Rockies. Exactly a week after that storm, when I was out with just a sweatshirt without feeling the slightest bit of chill in the air, it really hit me that something wasn't right with the weather. the 1998 torch was insane....don't think you can get that in a Nina....8/10 days over 60 and the 2 "cold" days were low 50s If you don't mind explaining, why not?

If you don't mind explaining, why not? too much modified arctic air around and with the fast flow, almost impossible not to get a cold front in a 10 day period....over a shorter period, I guess it is possible...you can still get a long stretch of + departures but there will be 1-day, 2-day periods where you are +5 instead of +23...I think we will see that come to fruition next week...probably only 3 torchy afternoon highs in row at one time before we get a 45-50 Max thrown in there....I envision something loosely like this 61, 68, 64, 48, 46, 57, 74, 59, 43, 40 and probably 1 of those is a cheap midnight max....you still get a 10-day period of +13 to 15 departures but a few days don't feel as torchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
