Harry Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 61 and +34 on the avg low of 27 out there right now... That would be like 97 in july at 5 am. Looking forward to some backdoor action this afternoon and tomorrow and then a return to beautiful weather this weekend. Good luck to all the Illanoy teams in the Big Dance! Why i say lets get this kind of extreme warmth out of the way now while it does not feel so bad! The record low max for here is 51 and this looks to get blown away. It did dip to 61 but currently at 62. Some storms just west of here though which may cause it to drop a few. Look to blow a few of these records out the door over the next few days or so. Hell the normals for today here are 24/46! Pretty incredible stuff for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 59° currently and cloudy. Back door cold front about to move through Port Washington by the looks of it. Dense Fog Advisory in central WI this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 70Fs continue on until Weds... Some fog earlier, but it looks like we broke out of that. Front moved through here dropping dews back down into the 40Fs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front moved through here dropping dews back down into the 40Fs.. La Crosse mentioned in their disco that the long range pattern could bring in a short lived cool down towards the end of the month and then more warmth.

gosaints Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yeah...looking out that far is a little iffy, but at least its hinting at something. We'll bounce back one way or another ...and we will need rain at some point. I remember not long ago we had a good stretch of sun and mild and then we went nearly a week with clouds. Be interesting what farmers do. You'd have to think that a lot of fields are workable. I have spring/summer job at the golf course in town here. Lots of areas that dont get alot of sun and the last of the frost in those areas is just coming out now. Still pretty wet, so I am guessing quite a few fields are still wet as well but it shouldnt be long. Also of note is that in areas that do get alot of sun it is as dry as I have seen it in the spring. Moisture is needed and conditions are worse to the west.

A-L-E-K Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 looking forward to the brief cool down and creep fog...had to fire up the AC last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 My driveway (all of it not hit by the sun) was soaking wet yesterday, so I figure the frost was coming out of the ground there and while digging in some shaded areas there was still a layer of ice under the woodchips (which are insulating), so yeah...still some frost. I'm thinking all those fields up on top (Nodine to Rochester) of the bluff must be pretty much in planting condition, although I doubt anyone risks planting so early. I guess down south (Mississippi) they are done planting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 had to fire up the AC last night. I spent my entire night awake thinking "I will not turn on the AC in march"... After a terrible nights sleep, my dedication to that notion has faded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Cooler behind the front...all obs I see are in the 50Fs to the west of here... Not sure if I see teh 73F that the NWS here expects... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Today's record high min at ORD is 49 set in 1945...and this morning's low was 63. I'm sure the backdoor front will drop ORD below 63 before midnight...but if it stays above 49, another record will be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Grissom (Peru) Indiana dew point readings have been suspect for ages. I used to think it was higher there in summer because of nearby crops. But current reading is 71/71. I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 ORD is up to 70, so the streak will continue. they have at least a couple more hours before the front hits to warm into the mid/upper 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Holding steady around 63F at my house. So much for a quick drop into the 40s like the NWS was implying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Stuck in the high clouds still. Appears a shot at breaking up and sun is possible by 130 2pm. FWIW. Interesting disco in the NE sub forum (march OBS) about a flip coming for the end of the month. Good reading for pattern geeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 72, already warmer than the forecast high, though increasing cloudcover should keep temps in the low 70s. Td is 61. LI around -4, 1500 J/kg MU CAPE and SB CAPE, but little in the way of shear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 NWS still thinks 73F...haven't looked at visible..but I swear it was misting on me while I was out gardening. Kind of nice working weather... I'm building a new bed of peaches and i've had to move a ton (literally) of soil. I was working last night after the sun went down for a few hours too. Trying to accomplish anything and watch 3 little kids is nearly impossible. I have to stop about every 3 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Today you can really feel the humidity change compared to yesterday. Even with it being in the upper 60s/lower 70s right now there is a noticeable difference today compared to yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
