BowMeHunter Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I noticed you changed your location; must live right near Bowme. He lives just southeast of the airport. 2 miles due west of airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Clouds that are moving in are raising temperatures - and sparing the local area a frost. Really close call earlier today though. Thursday morning looks chilly though. That moisture moving into the Rockford area is moving into some low dewpoint air. Might see some sleet out that direction.

Brewers Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Dropped down to 36 earlier in the evening and right now sitting at 40. Looks like its going to be a 30 degrees warmer tomorrow, good ole spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Dropped down to 27.7 for about an hour last night. Bounced to a warm 30.6. Downtown /neighborhood concrete FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The day is starting off cloudy, windy, and at 40°. 66° forecast - most of the warmth will be mid to late afternoon. A lot of clouds to the east. Looks like it will break in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Sure doesn't seem like we have a shot at severe wx if we're starting off with clouds and temps in the lower 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Considering yesterday at this time it was 37 with light rain, this 60/42 feels pretty nice even with the strong winds. Got down to 42 here early this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Temp is surging nicely here in Iowa, up 17 degrees in the last three hours. It was a bit cool earlier with clouds and upper 40s, but it's nice and mild now. Models are suggesting Sunday could be the warmest day of the year in Iowa.

Chicago WX Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 March 2012 average temps and departures in Indiana through yesterday.

Chicago WX Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Something I drew up a little bit ago, top 10 warmest Marches for Indianapolis and what transpired each month after through August. Not much to read into, but somewhat interesting to me. With respect to the averages, and how I determined normal, above average, or below average, I used the city location all-time averages (1871 to 1942) and the airport all-time averages (1943 to 2011) for the specific years they pertained to. The top 3 warmest on record stand out on their own compared to the other 7 in the list. All of them didn't feature one month above normal through August. Overall, seems to bias towards May and June being normal to below. April, June, and August are essentially 50/50 shots. Though again, it's just statistics, so I wouldn't draw any hard conclusions. Normal: -0.5 to +0.5 Above: +0.6 or warmer Below: -0.6 or colder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian's thoughts on summer forecasting and this summer... analog forecasting in summer is useless...persistence works pretty well though...there is no reason to go below normal this summer unless you have a huge cold bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Good stuff. Ian's thoughts on summer forecasting and this summer... Not a forecast. Just stats from the past. As I tried to make clear, don't read much into it. But, regardless if I have a cold bias or not, nothing lasts forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 If I had to wager I'd say the back half of summer has a better chance of being cooler than the first half relative to average but I'm sorta giving up on long range stuff after the debacle of this past winter.

It's a different type of challenge for sure. I'm about 10x more comfortable with short range predictions but that also has its share of failures.

Chicago WX Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 welcome to the club Doesn't mean I'm not intrigued by it though. Rather, there seems to be only a few that are truly, what I would call it, good at the science. I'll just stick to the short and medium range...and boring statistics.
