Geos Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Well it finally made it to 70° after 3 days of stuck in the clouds, rain and fog. I just noticed on the 12z the circulation from Sandy sets off some lake effect on Lake Michigan on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Beautiful day. It feels like May or June. Should actually make a run towards 80°F with full sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajdos Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 12z Gfs actually pulls the storm back west, to impact most of S/E Mi, with some wind and some snowfall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Chicago's record safe? 10 top earliest 80 max? Jon The record today is safe. That is 85°. Tomorrow it is 78° though! Up to 73° here. Feels very warm out given it's been a long time since it was 70° and humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I mean Chicagos earliest last 80 degree record... Jon O, ok - that record! For some reason I thought I read the number of 80s in one year record. We shall see! That would be something given this year. Edit: Man it's hot out there! Might have to follow BowMe's advice and use the AC tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 ORD up to 77°, MDW 78°. Got some cloud issues around this far north and a SE wind. Made it to 75° though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted that ORD hit 80 degrees in early September and that was a top 10 earliest final 80 degree reading... The other 9/10 years were all before 1900.

cyclone77 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Excellent day. Made it to 80 here and at MLI. That was good for a tied record high there. Big temp contrast across Iowa. Low 80s southeast of Des Moines to mid 40s in NW IA. EDIT: Scratch that, the old record was 83. Could have swore I heard that it was 80 today.

turtlehurricane Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Up to 75 °F! Good day to go down by the lake and read/draw like during the summer. Lake water temp is 55 °F so it's refreshing down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 9/10 years were all before 1900. Jon Yeah, either it was me or maybe Chicago Storm that posted the fact that September 12th...? I think, was the last 80° high! Did not make it today. Dewpoints have dropped off, so it's not as uncomfortable as earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Forecast high of 72 tomorrow with sunny breaks. Hoping to cash in on a light tan to carry into winter so I'm not so pasty white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 9/10 years were all before 1900. Jon Weather is always interesting, a write up from LOT about 80º+ temps. If Wed or Thu doesn't get to 80º at ORD, then this snipet from the story applies... INTERESTINGLY...THE LAST TIME THE TEMPERATURE REACHED 80 DEGREES IN CHICAGO WAS BACK ON SEPTEMBER 12TH WHEN THE HIGH WAS 86 DEGREES. IF CHICAGO FAILS TO REACH 80 DEGREES AGAIN THIS YEAR THEN 2012 WOULD GO DOWN TIED FOR THE 7TH EARLIEST LAST 80 DEGREE DAY EVER IN CHICAGO. OF THE OTHER YEARS IN THE TOP 10 EARLIEST LAST 80 DEGREE DAYS ALMOST ALL OF THEM OCCURRED BACK PRIOR TO 1900 WHEN OFFICIAL TEMPERATURES WERE TAKEN CLOSER TO LAKE MICHIGAN...WITH ONLY 1996 HAVING AN EARLIER LAST 80 DEGREE DAY THAN THIS YEAR SINCE THE OFFICIAL OBSERVATION LOCATION WAS MOVED FARTHER INLAND FROM LAKE MICHIGAN. HERE ARE THE CURRENT TOP 10 EARLIEST LAST 80 DEGREE DAYS IN CHICAGO... RANK DATE 1 8/31/1876 2 9/7/1890 3 9/9/1875 4 9/10/1896 9/10/1996 6 9/11/1888 7 9/12/1874 9/12/2012 (THROUGH OCTOBER 23RD) 9 9/14/1889 9/14/1894 9/14/1917 Link to full story: http://www.crh.noaa....=88605&source=0 I assume they'll get to 80 on one of those days though.

cyclone77 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Taking the 00z 4km NAM verbatim, we drop from 76 to 45 between 1pm and 6pm tomorrow. I suppose it's not entirely impossible we could tag another 80 if the front holds up another hour longer than modeled. It's already a tad slower than some of the previous runs. Either way that temp crash will be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Nice thunder boomers moving through the last half hour...some good rain...finally. Pea sized hail reported in town at Fox Hollow golf course. Looks like those storms will hover around you guys for awhile. Very warm evening here for late October.
