General question. Will frost and freeze advisories start earlier then normal this year now? example is next week could get into the 20s and 30s over a large portion of the great lakes. so would they issue the advisories almost a month ahead of schedule?

I believe so. Frost and freeze warnings are issued during the growing season, and that has clearly started.

GFS is trending toward the Euro early next week with more of a digging shortwave over the lakes keeping the returning warmth held back over the plains. Now it doesn't even have any of us hitting 70 on Tuesday. Monday is looking a bit chilly for the lakes region. At least it's not looking like a possible freeze around here Tuesday morning like it is for the eastern lakes and northeast.

Is this real? A 20 degree difference between Milwaukee and Waukesha (57 vs. 77). May be a lake breeze, but I doubt it is that strong.

You know, MKE always reads several degrees colder than other locations with NE winds in the spring. It is a horrible representation of the city IMO.

I have 65.3F at my house right now, and Port Washington (on the lake) has 60.8F.

In northern Ohio temps have slipped into the 50's along the lake with 80s just inland the past two days, so that is possible.

Horrible representation of the County did you mean to type?

Even being only 55 because of the lake it feels amazing in the sun. Normal yr we'd be out on the ice this march 22nd 55 degree day getting sunburned and slamming the late season panfish. I hope payback is a beotch next yr and lake michigan freezes across. Due for at least one super below temp month in winter. I'd sacrafice getting no snow next Dec/Jan to have the January montly departure be near the opposite of this March.

So would we say that April is looking much cooler than March?

I don't think any month in our lifetimes will ever be as warm as March. So the answer is yes. Its just out of this world to think April could feature or top the king of all anomalies.

If we have another month of +15 departures region wide it might be time to sound the alarm.

Currently 83 at DTW which breaks yet another record. We have an outside shot at breaking tomorrow's records for DTW/FNT which are 73 and 71. MBS might be harder with more of an Easterly component to the wind plus their record is 74 for tomorrow.
