cyclone77 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 MLI missed the record by one degree today at 81, so the streak ends at 7. Clouds were a little thicker over that way, although DVN made it to 83. DVN actually beat MLI a few times over this stretch, which is somewhat unusual during torches.

Geos Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Good lord! +40 for a departure for today. I didn't know that was possible! 83° for high today. Had about 4 hours of offshore winds, the rest of the day was onshore winds. Enough with the heat now! I enjoy mild weather in the spring, not hot weather! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im speaking of an area encompassing the Lakes and Central states. Basically glancing at the eastern half of the nation. There is now a thread for the severe.

On a side note/thought - I don't think our power grid could handle that sort of widespread heat! Any idea what the ENSO index was that summer? Anyway, cooling off better than expected tonight. 62° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Anyone remember May 1983 or May 1997 in Chicago? Both months were fairly chilly, with monthly average temps of 53.2F and 53.8F respectively. It's possible that March 2012 could end up warmer than both of these months.

KokomoWX Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 No. TBH I've never read any of his stuff until 10 hours ago. A weather friend on FB recomened one of his blogs. Someone enlighten me on this guy.. Chad has a history of wild and outlandish forecasts. Last summer, Chad forecast the hottest summer on record by several degrees over the previous record. Tim (ChicagoWX) did a little study of forecasts and verification for high temperatures. As expected, the NWS won the battle but Chad was worse than the Accuweather and by quite a large margin.

turtlehurricane Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Beautiful sunny morning with a low in the upper 50s. Already warming up rapidly under full sun to 69 °F. Won't be long before the cap blows and we have showers everywhere with this sort of heating, since synoptic-scale uplift is approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Anybody see how cold the weather is in Norther Canada and Alaska? Ice cap growing in the Arctic Makes sense since the cold has been bottled up with nowhere to run. Moderation of that airmass should be noticeable as the northern hemisphere tilts into a warmer than normal sun. Eventually the polar vortex will weaken a tad.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 With clouds here and rain moving in, our 9 day streak of 70+ may be over. As for early next week, there is a big question mark. Recent GFS runs have been quite warm with 70s for 3-4 days. However, the Euro keeps getting cooler as it has a typical spring great lakes ridge funneling cool air in from the east. The latest run is down to upper 50s for a high on Monday with even cooler temps farther east into the lakes region. That is still several degrees above normal, but it would feel pretty cool.
