Lava Rock Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 82F today. Higher then even Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yeah looking at some of the 12z data, it looks like this weekend will still above average (especially Saturday). Average highs for this weekend run from 42F-45F across the region and i think Saturday will be in the low 50s, and Sunday near normal or slightly above. Looking beyond that, next week could end up being cooler than normal with highs in the 30s (ew), but beyond that trough behind the departing system, it looks to warm back up into the 50s and perhaps 60s by the end of next week. I think a solid spring pattern will be hard up here, but we are definitely entering a time where we could have extended days in the 50s and maybe 60s, but then get back doored into the 30s and 40s for a few days as well. Roller coaster ride in temperatures for sure as we head forward toward spring. It looks to flip flop a bit temp wise over the next couple of weeks, A lot of the lakes around here are already ice free which is real early, Our golf course that i belong to is shooting for a Mar 30th opening, That would be the earliest i have seen and i have been a member their for over 27 yrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm so jelly of that Gilford station at 1350 feet. Still a breeze up there so they are still holding at 71 degrees. High of 79.0 for me today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Pretty impressive contrast around the lake right now. These stations are all within about 5 miles of each other. Gilford: 69 Weirs 55 Welch Island: 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemountainhiker Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Pretty impressive contrast around the lake right now. These stations are all within about 5 miles of each other. Gilford: 69 Weirs 55 Welch Island: 46 Amazing what a little lake breeze can do. I hike Mt Major a couple years ago when we had that April warm spell at the beginning of the month (2010). When I reached the bottom, away from the lake, it was 80 degrees, but whenever the lake was in sight of the road, it quickly dropped into the 60s. Fun stuff!

tamarack Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Had 77/29 yesterday, extending Sunday's MBY record for March by another 3F, and back to 33-34 this morning. Farmington's record for 3/20 is 79 in 1903, also their tops for March, and as they're often a couple degrees milder than here, they may have reached/beaten that one. If not, probably today.

Allenson Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yesterday was the warmest here of this batch of days--topped out at 73F. Well, it took till yesterday morning and not a bad run considering the year but here was the state of the stake as I saw it yesterday morning: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 49 for the low overnight. Sunday was 78.3, Monday 78.1, and then 81.1 yesterday. There is a bit of fog down here in the valley today but it looks like it will burn off quickly today. We have no more patches of snow at the house, 4 crocuses (or is it croci) are out and many daffodils and other bulbs are quickly growing too.

adk Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 LOL that's identical to what I've had. Three days of 77-78 highs. If we get some highs in the 30s at all that will feel like a shock. Two nights in a row I've slept with windows wide open. The real question PF is will you get another 5 day stretch of temps in the upper 70s ALL summer? It's possible given your location that you will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 78° at PWM, absolutely crushing the old record high which was a laughable 60°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Climbing at about 8 degrees per hour. Already 76 so I'm guessing 80+ is pretty much a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Montpelier now at 73, already 19 degrees above their previous record max for today. I find it hard to believe the max record was only 54 however. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BTV&issuedby=BTV&product=RER&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off MPV (KNAPP STATE AIRPORT IN MONTPELIER VT)...66F CURRENTLY WITH PREVIOUS RECORD OF 54F IN 2003.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Up to 71F at noon. We were at 67F at noon at hit 78F so I think 80-82F is a solid forecast up here for today. Amazing. Grass is even greening up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Bow Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Temp was soaring all morning and reached 80.1 just before 12:00. The rise has slowed a bit to about 1 degree in the last half hour. Currently 81.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 72/51 as of 12:30pm. Downright July weather for northern Vermont. If we had some foliage, the diurnal temp change would definitely be less, and instead of lowering to 40F overnight, it'd probably be 50F..that's the only difference between this and the middle of the summer.

Snow Bow Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 lol, I thought about that yesterday, Just left a couple of windows open, Did not take long after sunset for it to cool back down pretty quickly Exactly, I actually woke up around 300 this morning and had to shut most of the windows around the house as it was about 52 degrees inside. Wish I still had some of that air left right now. Had i known the dog days of Morch were going to be this warm I might have thrown the ac in for a week, but I can't see digging it out for just 24 hours of usage. Although it really isn't getting any cooler in my house. 79 in here now 82.8 outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well, it took till yesterday morning and not a bad run considering the year but here was the state of the stake as I saw it yesterday morning: Very sad to see.

dryslot Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 -SN here, We have a dusting on the ground 32.0F, Short lived before the ongoing torch, I have mentioned to a few folks around here that i would not be surprised if we get a big dump either the end of the month or the 1st weeks into April, That would just be fitting end to this mediocre winter Next Saturdays euro.........

tamarack Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Up around 80 here, up from this morning's 33. Some mini-cumulus puffs drifting by. The car thermometer showed temps cycling between 81-84 as we drove west between BGR and New Sharon, while the bank temps were 84 in Skowhegan and 85 in Norridgewock. TDs in Maine are mostly near 40, some in low 30s (and the far north close to 50), so barring some change, I expect the temp here to tumble again tonight, though maybe not lower than 40 or so. GYX has us for low 50s overnight, but my frost pocket location runs 5F+ below the zone forecast when radiational cooling is good. Kennebec is high and muddy, but way below flood and will stay that way. I've heard that the St. John and tribs have some ice jam issues - even with a mild winter and these warm temps, such an early ice run means pretty solid stuff heading downriver. Hauled the gas grill around from under the back porch. Never did that in March before, and rarely in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
