Chicago Storm Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 ORD only up to 83 as of 1PM, which is the same temp as yesterday. Looks like the all time March record will be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 87 intrahour at Traverse City. Still a good 3 hours of heating left. 86 at Midland, 85 at Saginaw. Will be fun to see if the ultra rare March 90 strikes central or northern Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Update from NWS Gaylord... .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 211 PM EDT WED MAR 21 2012 NICE TO SEE THE SOO GET INTO THE FUN AS WELL. AFTER HOLDING OUT ON US FOR HALF THE DAY...SOUTHEAST BACKED FLOW OFF THE ST MARYS RIVER HAS BEEN OVERCOME VIA DEEP LAYER STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW REGIME. A RAPID 12 DEGREE JUMP (UP TO 82!) IN TEMPS HAS BEEN NOTED THE PAST HOUR. THE SOO HAS NOW BEEN ADDED TO SITES SETTING THEIR ALL-TIME MARCH RECORDS. ALL THE WHILE...TRAVERSE CITY CONTINUES TO CLIMB TOWARD 90...AND IF THAT SHOULD HAPPEN...IT WOULD BE THE EARLIEST RECORDED 90 DEGREE READING BY ALMOST 5 WEEKS...WITH THE CURRENT RECORD COMING FROM APRIL 29TH...1970. IN OTHER WORDS...IF THE TEMP HITS 90...IT WILL NOT ONLY SMASH THE ALL-TIME RECORD FOR MARCH...BUT IT WILL TIE THE ALL-TIME RECORD FOR APRIL AS WELL. UNBELIEVABLE! UPDATE ISSUED AT 146 PM EDT WED MAR 21 2012 FORECAST ON TRACK WILL NEARLY FULL SUNSHINE UP THROUGH THIS POINT. STARTING TO SEE A LINE OF CU DEVELOPING JUST ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE TERRAIN AND WITHIN BETTER H8 MOISTURE AXIS. PER RUC SOUNDINGS...THERE REMAINS PLENTY OF INSTABILITY ALOFT (MUCAPE VALUES UP TO 500 J/KG) TO TAP WITH JUST A SMALL CAP DOWN LOW FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A 100-MB MIXED LAYER PARCEL. THUS...BELIEVE CHANCES FOR A FEW AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS OR STORMS LOOK GOOD AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS FAIRLY LIGHT... ONLY AROUND 25 KNOTS...SO NOTHING OVERLY ORGANIZED EXPECTED. JUST YOUR TYPICAL JULY PATTERN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I wonder if the temp potential this weekend is gonna be subject to busting on the high side. With all this warmth I wonder if latent heat will play a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Saginaw,Traverse City, and Grand Rapids at 86* 83* here. I honestly can't walk outside and fathom that its mid-march. It's unreal.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I think the Upper MS Valley has some severe wx potential on Tuesday, looking at the past several runs of the GFS/Euro as that compact but rather vigorous short wave ejects eastward. Plenty of instability already showing up on the GFS (1500-2000 J/kg) and lifted indexes of -7... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 82 in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan! Unbelievable. I think the previous all time March record there was 75. Absolutely crushed. Looks like 87 is the max of any Michigan site so far. 3 degrees in 2 hours still doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 3 nights on the euro has southern mi getting down to 25-32.. sweet lets get the vegetation devestation tracking started. What a sick day out there, last day of heatwaves never let us down in mke and finally no lake breeze 20 mins after peak heating. Lol - its march 21st and wading the river by the burlinton dam in short cutoff jeans shorts, wife beater, and crocs - refreshing but still chilly enough to make my outtie a innie. There should be ice bergs coming down the river. only thing ice in the river this yr was my ice cube testes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cUNNKzj_Nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 "Only" low 70Fs here... Some sun, but back into clouds now... Right on the edge here...at times its been clear, but clouds just roll back in...Rochester at 65F, MSN at 81F.. Amazing heat into N Michigan. I wonder why? Soil conditions?

BowMeHunter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Good thing i enjoy tracking history be made because outside of that the weather has been boring and useless as a week of arctic air in January here. I guess the vegetation devestation tracking will be fun also. Earliest ice out recorded on the eagle river chain of lakes was crushed this yr by 10 days.. the old record was set back in 2007.
