Thundersnow12 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 now that's a legit lake front. what could stop ORD from having 6 straight days of 70 degree or higher for the first time in March, ever. Was looking at those stats last night at WGN. Skilling though forecasting 70+ from wed-monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 pneumonia front! Those are interesting to watch on the radar. I think it was the spring and summer of 2010, there was a bunch of those that came down the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastFromTheEast Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Screw it i'm all in.. Pulling for a 90 next week !!! Call me crazy but I think we can break 90 in spots.. If not by you, somewhere very close by.. This map Just looks epic epic epic epically warm.. 10 C by the Hudson Bay?!?!?!?! Crazy stuff if it verifies.. Certainly possible.. As cyclone posted above he saw mid 80's in late March a while back in the 80's, No reason why somewhere further south couldn't touch 90 with such an epic epic torch signal... Say around Cairo, STL, KC etc... 90...seriously? Looks like i'll be fairly close... Can't wait to see what tomorrow's obs will be like St Louis made it to 84. Wow.

Hoosier Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looks like i'll be fairly close... Can't wait to see what tomorrow's obs will be like I bet no one in this forum gets past 85 tomorrow and any mid 80's will probably be isolated with areas like STL having a decent shot.

Was looking at those stats last night at WGN. Skilling though forecasting 70+ from wed-monday you can probably continue 70+ potential through at least next Wed.

beavis1729 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Any sign in sight of a pattern break on the EURO? In the NE sub-forum, one of the mets mentioned some ridging in AK in the Euro weeklies in week 3...but obviously it's pretty far out there.

Trent Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 What you are forgetting or might not know for some reason the snow depth measurement is at 7AM on the climate reports. So this was before the high of 52 and the heavy rain yesterday. Wait for tonights report to find out the snow depth at 7AM this morning. Nope, it was 16" yesterday morning and now 14" this morning: http://www.nws.noaa....=climate#RTPAPX Earlier days: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/view/prodsByState.php?state=mi&prodtype=climate#CF6HTL A very stubborn snow pack. But as I said, the web cams from the area do not confirm that much snow. This must be an isolated spot in a drift in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 If we don't make 80 tomorrow, it looks like we have another (and probably better) shot at it on Thursday given a warmer start and slightly warmer thermal profiles aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 lol just noticed that the 12z NAM has 3000 J/kg CAPE and LI approaching -10 here on Thursday. That is pretty impressive for mid March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 In the NE sub-forum, one of the mets mentioned some ridging in AK in the Euro weeklies in week 3...but obviously it's pretty far out there. I see a repositioning of the ridge (or a new ridge) further west on the GFS out towards the Rockies later on. Might allow for some more typical temperatures for the NE quadrant of the US.

Nic Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Quite the Omega block on the ECMWF, lol. This March may beat 1945 and 1946 in terms of warmth if this continues unless the last 3-6 days are unbelievably cold to bring down the anomalies a bit. Interestingly enough, both the summers of 1945 and 1946 were cooler and perhaps wetter than normal as well. Well I dont mind this warmth. Should enlighten my mood after this crappy Winter, lol. What was interesting about 1946 when looking at the weather records is the lowest temperature at night in my area was 30 before the threat of frost ended, that is not cold enough to cause major problems.

But as I said, the web cams from the area do not confirm that much snow. This must be an isolated spot in a drift in the woods. Still makes sense to me now that you posted the exact data set you were looking at. Regardless as this is a pointless debate as neither of us live there and confirm this data accuracy. Being an approved climo reporting site I have to believe it is pretty accurate. Then again the DTX report has White Lake MI at 0" of precip yesterday, so it could all just be a cruel joke. Whatever.

daddylonglegs Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Made it to 66F here... Took around a 3hr/15mile bike ride ... Trails were full of people.

daddylonglegs Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Somebody near San Diego on another forum was saying they may be near freezing??? Highs in the 40Fs? When this baby flips, watch out! We should lose most snowcover across Canada, and with the day length we should be able to moderate any really cold air mass before it gets over my apricots trees I had a wasp on my bike today, some a big horse fly and my tulips are popping.
