Chicago Storm Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'd love to hit 90. As would I, but that isn't happening. The old 10/10 "rule" would put ORD at 87, being it's 77 as of 10AM. Yesterday there was an 11F rise from this point to the high for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 83 in Traverse City. No doubt some places in Michigan will top out at 88 or 89 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the high res models paint a few areas in the Saginaw valley with 90 degrees. Just insane!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 NWS Gaylord MI: .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 1056 AM EDT WED MAR 21 2012 I`M RUNNING OUT OF ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE THIS WEATHER PATTERN... SO WE`LL JUST SAY IT`S DOWNRIGHT BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE TODAY. VERY FEW CHANGES MADE TO GOING FORECAST...WITH 12Z APX RAOB CONTINUING TO STRONGLY HINT THAT TODAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE ENTIRE HEAT WAVE AS CORE OF VERY WARM AIR ARRIVES OVERHEAD (H8 TEMPS APPROACHING 16C). EXPECTED DEEP MIXING TOWARD 750MB OR EVEN ABOVE WILL LEAD TO INCREASINGLY GUSTY WINDS AND HELP PROPEL HIGHS WELL INTO THE 70S AND 80S IN ALL AREAS...LIKELY EVEN ACROSS ALL OF EASTERN UPPER AS STRONGER SOUTHWEST FLOW REGIME OVERCOMES THE TYPICALLY BACKED FLOW OFF LAKE HURON AND THE ST MARY`S RIVER. AS SUCH...IT APPEARS THAT EVEN THE SOO MAY FINALLY BREAK THEIR ALL-TIME MARCH HIGH LATER THIS AFTERNOON (CURRENTLY SITTING AT 75 DEGREES FROM 1946). ALSO...NOT ENTIRE IMPOSSIBLE THAT TRAVERSE CITY OR SOMEONE ACROSS NORTHEAST LOWER IN DOWNSLOPE REGIME MAKES A RUN AT 90 DEGREES PER CURRENT DIURNAL TRENDS AND MET GUIDANCE. EARLIER ADDED MENTION OF SMALL CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND NORTHEAST LOWER STILL LOOKS OK...BUT IT IS A RATHER LOW PROBABILITY. STILL...STRONG SURFACE HEATING...EVEN WITH DEW POINTS EXPECTED TO MIX OUT INTO THE UPPER 40S...YIELDS MODEST MLCAPE VALUES UP AROUND 500 J/KG WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CAPPING...SO CAN`T ARGUE AGAINST THE POTENTIAL. OTHERWISE...WILL BE WATCHING HUMIDITY LEVELS AS CONDITIONS MAY APPROACH RED FLAG CRITERIA IN SPOTS THIS AFTERNOON. WHETHER IT DOES OR NOT...BURNING IS A BAD IDEA TODAY...HENCE THE MENTION OF ELEVATED FIRE DANGER. STILL WATCHING THE SMALL POSSIBILITY FOR A COUPLE OF SHOWERS TO LEAN INTO FAR NORTHERN CHIPPEWA COUNTY BY EARLY EVENING...BUT BEST CHANCES WILL WAIT UNTIL LATER TONIGHT AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPES ACROSS EASTERN UPPER.

Trent Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Apparently the high res models paint a few areas in the Saginaw valley with 90 degrees. Just insane!! I grew up in Saginaw. My mom texted me that the local forecasts are calling for a high of 88. I can't even wrap my head around that for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 71F here...clouds should keep us in the mid 70Fs.. No wind, so it feels great...especially with the high 50F dew points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
