A-L-E-K Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 6z is warm...not really sure about any snow or hard freeze anymore. I can see some brief wet snow if we can get a good spring storm to spin up, but i'm totally not buying hard freeze chances...especially outside far northern MI or the UP. I'm declaring winter dead/over/done for MBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 A nice chilly morning around here. Little patchy frost on the rooftops and few spots on the lawn. Low 36°. ~ The 18z run of the GFS would given the entire GL region a freeze next Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Euro doesn't look cold next week. Shows a quick shot of cool air, but then back to seasonal temps... Once again it shoots the cold into the NE more then the upper midwest. Averages cracked 60F here today (60F/39F) ...really climbing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Just realized that March 5th will likely be our last sub freezing day of the season, which is very early. Just noticed that Detroit's last sub freezing high was February 11th! There was also a 32 degree high on February 25th. If that holds, I'm sure that February 11th date has to smash any previous record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have jumped the gun on getting my snow tires off. Hopefully the recent record warmth + late march sun angle means this is going to be tough to accumulate, at least on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I would be very surprised If there wasn't a freeze next month. Noticed more frost as I headed north into Racine County this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal high/low for La Crosse today is 51/31, not 60/39...right? Or, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 You could be right..i was looking at the almanac on WU...i'll check again. You're right..yesterday it was 50F/30F...God knows what I was looking at... Need to wait a couple weeks to get there. Man even these ""cold"" days are way above normal!

daddylonglegs Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think Milwaukee/Chicago are about a zone 7 these days...It seems like a long time since MKE dropped below 0F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 maybe up there in your artic micro climate. it's not happening here. I'm not affected by the urban heat island at all. Maybe very minimal. Not a lot of concrete around here. I notice the effect more as you get into Waukegan & Gurnee. 2 miles in every direction there is still open farm fields/undeveloped land.

Nic Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think this year we may set a record for the earliest last freeze. Maybe? I have to check when the earliest one was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 For La Crosse its March 27th, 1999...this year its sitting at March 13th (31F)...although obviously subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 not surprsing given long term trends but GFS totally whiffs on phasing the storm for next week, never taps into real cold and warms right back up after a minor cool down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kab2791 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Snow possible tomorrow up here, though I'm not expecting much accumulation, maybe some slush on the grassy surfaces. Is Snow and Ice on the Way? Low pressure is expected to move from eastern Iowa early Friday morning, to northern Indiana by afternoon, and then to central Ohio by Friday evening. Southwest Michigan will be on the colder side of this fast moving system. Temperatures will likely be in the 30s as precipitation arrives early Friday morning. Areas north of Interstate 96 may see a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow for the morning rush hour. Some areas may experience a light accumulation of ice, prior to the precipitation changing to rain in the afternoon. Further north, across portions central lower Michigan, all snow may occur. This could result in a few inches of accumulating snow, mainly northeast of a Manistee to Alma line. This system continues to evolve, as does the forecast. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts for possible changes to the forecast and possible advisories and/or warnings. http://www.crh.noaa....=81215&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Last two GFS runs keep the warm front south of here all weekend. Looks like no warm sector for me. This will bust 20F too high: Sunday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. South wind between 5 and 10 mph.

kab2791 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Euro shows a slushy couple inches tomorrow.
