Stebo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 As ridiculous as it once sounded, I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen any isolated 90 readings popping up anywhere Gotta save something for the next heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 good choice with a poncho over it.. the euro looking to struggle to get you out of the 40's on saturday. Yeah..I dont know about 40s for daytime highs seems overdone but I wouldnt be shocked if we struggle to hit the upper 50s. Its going to be on chilly nasty raw day. Late Sunday we might recover with some breaking in the overcast. One thing is for sure though. The heat stops Friday. Back to hoodies and jeans by the weekend. More Great Lakes like for late March.

BowMeHunter Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 It's like a beach party at MU; I don't remember so many scantily clad students in front of the Union. I bet Did you go down to loserville last week to cheer on MU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I bet Did you go down to loserville last week to cheer on MU? No, I stayed here and watched the games with family and friends. We'll see what happens. Hopefully the team has some added motivation from the seemingly pointless JSOnline article trying to paint attention to other matters.

Stebo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Unless something changes between now and midnight we will end up with a 82/57 for the day which will be +31 for the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to muscoop since sunday and never read the Milwaukee Urinal so I have no clue what BS is going on. Guess its scoop time. Saukville going the wrong way now.. down to 71.5 I bet we added a nother degree or two on to the 83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Nice page from LOT which shows the probability of experiencing a freeze/hard freeze after a certain date. 90% of years had a freeze after April 5 in Chicago. For hard freezes, which would be more concerning, only 50% of years had a hard freeze after April 7 http://www.crh.noaa....=80803&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Up to 74F here... Rochester, MN (directly west 70miles) has been stuck in the 60Fs with north wind. Must be right on the edge of the domem of heat here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 +14.3 on month without todays whopper in the plus 30's departure. Looking at making a run for the warmest march ever with 6" of snow for the month added in. Most snow I've had in march over the last 3 winters - go for figure it comes in a yr we're crushing the warmest March to date by a good 5 degrees. Still going the wrong way in saukville 70.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 early guess for next winter is someting close to 2009/10 but a little warmer. Thinking we can do a little better snow wise (here) with out the absurd blocking of that winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Next mid week "cool" shot. The weeklies suck past week 3 into 4 IMO. Always have always will regardless of what they show. I never put much faith in LR forecasts, I just recently started following the weeklies more closely (well, following what others post, I dont actually have access to them) because so many act like they are the king of longrange forecasting in terms of accuracy....when they show warmth at least. I have been waiting for them to show some cold and see how many dismiss them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This weather is crazy. Went up to Racine to go do something and I expected to be as warm there. Instead the lake breeze was still going good there. 75° on the west side of town and 55° downtown! I get back home and it cooled off to 76° from 83°! Plenty of haze and light fog over the lake away from shore. Seems like leaves have popped out of the trees automatically this afternoon. A big difference from late yesterday.

Doesnt matter how many epic winters you have in a row, just takes one stinker to put your mindset back to where a simple climo winter would be wonderful!

Trent Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Lest we forget April 2010, which was also a scorcher. CLE recorded its warmest April in 140 years. The first week of that April was typical to this spell, with +30 degree departures. That spell lasted about 10 days if I recall correctly. The only difference is that this one started 2-3 weeks sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Warmest day yet here at 83. 7th day in a row for a record high at MLI at 82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Im getting way ahead of myself here lol...but you wonder what things like this will do to the next set of 30-yr climate normals. First, the February snowfall the past 6 years, even with a few avg years thrown in, has been beyond epic...now we are looking at an insane March that will end with double digit departures, after several other recent mild Marches. How much smoothing will they do to the data for the next set of normals? (we already know they dont simply compute the raw numbers and divide by 30).

BowMeHunter Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 never thought we would see another march/april of 2010 for a long while.. Here we are 2 yrs later having a march that almost seems it would be impossible to occur. Should be fun to see what april has up its sleeve! If it ends up like 2010 and 19 days of 60 dgree highs or below I will be a happy man.. lol this March won't even end up with 19 days at or below 60 - just insane. Poor saukville now down to 67. Yay for his dog. Back down to 73 here - nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 85 ends up as the high at ORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rent Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Looks like the high will be 85 here. Finally had to turn the AC on, house was holding in too much heat for the window fan to overcome. Surprised at the lack of brush fire activity in this area. We've only had one shower in the last 10 or so days. Figured there would be an issue with people doing spring cleaning. The lack of a dominant wind has helped though. Most of the fields are getting plowed over the last 2 days so that's also removed a lot of fuel.

Hoosier Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I know this is an apples and oranges comparison since it's harder to put up big departures in summer but when you compare this month to July 1936, which was the ultimate heat month around here with numerous extreme temp days, the departure is not even close. July 1936 had a 13 day streak of temps over 100F (including 3 days of 110+), 15 days with highs above 100, 24 days with highs above 90 and 17 nights with a low above 70. All that and that month finished around +9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Red Flag Warning was issued by LOT for the entire forecast area and what does my neighbor do... Starts a bonfire about an hour ago. Had rip roaring fire going and managed to start a tree trunk on fire and his lawn! Some people are not too observant! Anyway, no harm to any other properties. Down into the mid 70s now.
