NWS out of La Crosse:

Guy on another forum used a sprinkler last night to protect his best tree...ended up breaking it in half ...temp dropped to 25F where he lives in Iowa.

I think you can only do that to certain trees.

Just looked at the numbers for the West Lafayette COOP, going back to 1954, and here's the last Spring dates for hard freezes (28 degrees or lower) and "regular" freezes (29 to 32 degrees). I used 28 degrees as a hard freeze as per the Illinois State Climatologist website. Some years will have the same date, as a 28 degree or lower temperature was the last freezing temperature. Dates highlighted in blue indicate latest such date for each column, and those highlighted in red indicate earliest last for each.

That's exactly what's gonna happen since these clouds are driven by solar heating. 850 temps are starting to warm too which will help get rid of the clouds quicker.

41 °F as of 2 pm and solar radiation is decreasing since we're 1+ hour past solar noon. Probably not gonna get much warmer.

That's exactly what's going on. About 5pm they started to break a bit. Temperature didn't go up to speak of, even with a little sun. High 41° today...7° under guidance.

Freeze warnings down to the shore counties now. Dewpoint 17°.

I'm gonna call 28° for a low tonight here.

7pm: Clouds bookin' it outta here. 39°.

Snowflakes filled the air off and on pretty much all day today throughout SE MI, despite temps hovering in that upper 30s to low 40s range. Everyone was texting me all day "its snowing", but of course I was at work and didnt get to really see much lol. But did get this shot of the TV of snow falling during this afternoon's Tigers game.

Clouds clearing out, I hope the winds will be enough to keep temperatures up. It is sill very windy out. I don't think it will get to cold but it will be the longer duration then the other freezes that did not damage anything too badly.

Doh, already 33° imby. Neighbors were out just before sunset covering up various plants. Probably hit freezing by 9:15 at this rate.

There's some decent sized fruit orchards west of here. There probably not going to fair very well tonight.

32° at 9:05pm here. 31° now. Dewpoint: 20°

Looks to be below freezing a good 10 hours tonight!

0z knocked the temp down a degree or two for the area. ORD looks to get below 30.

...I think MKX needs to include their eastern counties in the freeze warning!

I think the NAM will be right on target around here. Down to a frosty 30.3° here.

...Although I wouldn't be surprised to see a 27 or 26° temperature in the county somewhere. Some clouds over the lake are moving south, but they look to stay over the lake.
