Powerball Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I absolutely love this weather. Thank god there was no transition from a warm boring winter to a cool and rainy spring. Next two weeks are going to be beautiful. Don't put your cart before the horses. We're not even into the first two weeks of Spring. There's no telling what April and May will bring. Enjoy it while it lasts like I will, but at some point, for some period of time, it will eventually flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Detroit has the potential to break some records with regards to the number of consecutive 60*F+ days it can see during this torch (tomorrow is the really conditional day). Looking at all the Springs in which currently hold the record for the highest number of consecutive 60*F+ days in a row (1995, 1998, 1968, 1910, 1945), all of them with the lone exception of 1995 and maybe 1998 gave way to average or below average summers. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the summer was average or below average, I am actually hedging my bets to below average after mid July maybe earlier.

wisconsinwx Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I absolutely love this weather. Thank god there was no transition from a warm boring winter to a cool and rainy spring. Next two weeks are going to be beautiful. This is the perfect time to transition to a warmer period as it's spring break, and I can laugh at all those people who think they're escaping the cold, when in reality they're escaping perfect weather to enjoy the heat and humidity. Warm spring breaks ftw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 This would be very interesting. Forecast cape for later Wednesday off the new NAM. That is pretty ridiculous for March, I mean 3500 J/kg into Wisconsin? Jesus... 12z GFS looks ugly next weekend across the MO Valley, Mid/Upper MS Valley and GL...look at that monster LLJ, in association with plentiful instability and a negatively tilted initial wave from the big West Coast trough, yikes. It honestly looks like a summer setup, with stronger, Spring kinematics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The forecast for the next week looks more like Florida than Wisconsin, 60s and 70s for highs. Best March weather ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Don't put your cart before the horses. We're not even into the first two weeks of Spring. There's no telling what April and May will bring. Enjoy it while it lasts like I will, but at some point, for some period of time, it will eventually flip. I'm talking about those mid 40s, raw, rainy March days we typically see. I doubt we'll see consistent highs below 50 in April, but I love those mid 50s/low 60s days, just not the transition of those mid 40s days in March.

No way we flip to below normal with a snap of the fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Wow hit 67.6 today. Way over the forecast high. NWS says we might hit 80 on Wednesday and that this persistent pattern lasts well through next weekend. Has ANYONE ever seen a pattern like this in March before? I have never seen so many warm days strung together in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 ...Has ANYONE ever seen a pattern like this in March before? I have never seen so many warm days strung together in my life. I can't remember so many warm days strung together like this so early. Maybe 2-3, but not 7+. It's not only unusual to have temps in the 50s-60s that many days in a row so early, but 70s to potential 80s? Just bizarre. Gonna be an awesome stretch. Unless we hit a really wet spell at some point this Spring I think we're in for a long and hot/dry summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Unless we hit a really wet spell at some point this Spring I think we're in for a long and hot/dry summer. This. Although I keep seeing references of warm springs equal cold summers. But this year has been bizarre so far and beat all other past occurrences.

Trent Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Was just looking at some of F6s and climate reports. Somehow Pittsburgh is actually at normal for the season right now with 36.9" of snowfall. Yet, Buffalo is only at a pathetic 35.1". It would be incredible if PIT beats out BUF for total seasonal snowfall. I'm sure it has to be a first. It does appear that there are a tiny handful of sites that did manage to squeak out normal snowfall this winter ...

Trent Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The warmth extends well to the north into Canada. Some serious snow melting going on right now across North America.
