A-L-E-K Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 curious to see anything pops when the cu field expands north and nears the boundary. I mentioned that on the last page, you're far enough to away that you might find yourself in the convergence zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I mentioned that on the last page, you're far enough to away that you might find yourself in the convergence zone too bad we didn't have a legit wave to make things go boom, serious juice out there. CAPE nearing 3000 j/kg, mid level lapse rates of 8.5 C and LI's of -9. Very impressive for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Just hit 80 here for the first time this year. (Missed it yesterday with a 79) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Full sun today with hardly a cloud in the sky. We appear to be coming up short of 80, but 78 is pretty awesome. Our dewpoint dropped to about 50 behind the weak front today so it feels pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 ORD hit 81 once again today. This makes it the first March on record to feature back-to-back 80+ days. It is also now tied with only March 1986 for the most 80+ days on record (2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 81 here today. Still 80/59. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 front must be close but for now still warm, humid and sunny. I think the NAM was a little too quick rushing it down the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Some nice towers trying to build in the southern sky. Interesting east/west boundary showing up on satellite. Be nice to get a little thunder action here this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDude Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 can't believe there is almost a 30 degree temperature difference just over 30 miles away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosaints Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Anyone with access with the EURO weeklies care to share what they share. Lots of talk in the eastern sub forums of troughiness in the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Managed to get to 75° at 1pm, before the front hit. 70s dissipated quickly, then it fell a little slower. (FYI-location is 4 miles from LM) Down to 49° now and I can see stratus building to the east. Thought my lawn would be greener then it is now. Still pretty dull looking. ...This is the slowest Pneumonia front I've ever seen. I guess there is resistance with the south flow ahead of it.

Be nice to get a little thunder action here this evening. And of course as soon as I posted this they crapped the bed. Looks like 80 again tomorrow through mon. After that clouds/precip may temper things a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Weakest pneumonia front ever...still plesant, no fog When I hit the circle interchange the car registered 83 degrees. By the time I got home up here on the northside... 58. Maybe there wasn't much fanfare with the front, but a 25 degree drop in about 5 miles is pretty significant!

SpartyOn Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 DTX. THIS EXTENDED PERIOD OF UNUSUALLY WARM WEATHER SO EARLY IN THE SPRING WILL ALSO PLACE MARCH 2012 AS ONE OF THE WARMEST MARCHES ON RECORD /IF NOT THE WARMEST/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 another epic day of warmth in St. Louis. 80/66/74 = +29F. Now up to 54.7F for the month, 11.2F above normal(81-10). 57F is the monthly record. The models have a cut off that pumps 70s and80s into STL till the end of the month. We are forecasted for 85F the next 4-5 days. With overnight lows from 61-65F. So mostly 25-30F+ days. then a drop to 20-24F+ days. We could be looking at a 60-62F month. Would be historic.

daddylonglegs Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Actually managed 71F, even being socked in by fog until 1:30.... Tonite should be another fog bath... Almost no wind today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosaints Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Torch to prevail. Guys, we have a historic March in the making. Don't think anyone will argue to much with a torch through the 25th it's what happens after that (way to far away to have a good idea) that is up in the air.

FWIW the GFS keeps the torch going through the 31st. EDIT: 850s get a little "chilly" for a day or two around the 25th compliments of a cut-off low. Chilly meaning nothing cold or wintery.
