turtlehurricane Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Back to the dense overcast again! Temperature has been stuck between 46-48° since midnight so far. Things have cleared up here, only some fog/stratus remnants floating overhead. Visible satellite reveals expansive fog/stratus across the Mississippi river valley and near Lake Michigan. I think we'll hit the 60s today, areas screwed by fog will obviously have cooler highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Still fog here... thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Looks like we get a week of winter and then right back to crap again..... Jon Per the 6z GFS. Per the 00z and now 12z it winter is here to stay. Moral of story: Models suck, change drastically 4 times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Socked in with clouds still. 50° ~ long way to go to hit 60°. -Turtle, you're in the lucky location today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Clouds being a problem here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Never hitting 60F here... This fog still looks like its going nowhere. By far the thickest so far this fall. I'll be lucky to see low 50Fs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The fog is really hanging on here. Satellite shows the edges gradually eroding, but CR is in the middle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 39F in La Crosse, 55F in MSN... ouch That is remarkable, shows just what an effect fog has on temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 41F/57F now... Its finally looking to die... Might hit 50F if we are lucky... fog reforms tonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Looking like the fog will hang on here until close to sunset... far longer than anyone predicted... and then re-expand and last through morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Upper 50s around Madison, one of the mesowest stations up to 60 °F. Not as warm as you'd expect from 850 temps alone, even though the fog wasn't here it cooled us down probably. Biggest screwzone is the SW corner of the state, no sun for them today, some sites still in the low 40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 That would be La Crosse...even the bluff tops were socked in all day. Low 40Fs here were the best we will do today. Heat wave fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I would honestly take -5F and full sunshine then a day like today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 54° for here today. About 2 hours worth of filtered sun, now cloudy and cooler with an east wind. Lake MI is making sure it doesn't get too warm around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I would honestly take -5F and full sunshine then a day like today... Ya, sunlight is what makes daytime feel so nice, the day you had depresses me just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Getting some showers now, a bit of a surprise as I wasn't expecting anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Per the 6z GFS. Per the 00z and now 12z it winter is here to stay. Moral of story: Models suck, change drastically 4 times a day. The 12z looks nice. I have my trailer on stand-bye for Saturday night, might head to NW lower and ride wherever the lollipop happens to be.

hawkeye_wx Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The back edge of the fog got to within 5 miles of Cedar Rapids, but that's it. Now, with the sun going down, the fog has quickly become quite dense again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Took this pic on Sunday in Ann Arbor. When you think of November in Michigan you think of gray, but Sunday was anything but! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The back edge of the fog got to within 5 miles of Cedar Rapids, but that's it. Now, with the sun going down, the fog has quickly become quite dense again. Wow, I had no idea some of the area was socked in all day. We had some patchy shallow ground fog this morning, but the sun quickly burned that off and it turned out to be a nice sunny day. Made it to 60. DVN has the whole area under a dense fog advisory for tonight, and I see DVN already went down to 1/4mi. No fog at all here yet, but it looks like we're gonna get consumed by it later this evening as well. Probably have a hard time burning it off tomorrow with an even larger sheet of low clouds/fog.

hawkeye_wx Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Fog is now so dense I can't tell there are any street lights on 1/8 mile away. One of the local mets had the airport's visibility down to near zero. It's very eerie looking out to nothing but darkness and no sign of light anywhere. I also just learned my Dad was in Waterloo and he is currently driving back to CR. I can't imagine driving on the interstate will be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Same here Hawk...very dense...Might take a bike ride, but i'm scared I'll get run over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Fog development taking off like a rocket this hour! Was driving home through low areas and the thickness would cut your visibility down to about 4 car lengths. It was kind of cool, some open yards had a real shallow layer of fog on them, almost looked like how liquid N2 evaporates out of its vessel. Down to 43° already.

cyclone77 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Cedar Rapids at 1/16mi, or 330ft. Pretty impressive. QC totally socked in, so it's creeping this way. Stars still out and good vis here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Fog finally beginning to roll in here. Moon still visible, but fading away a bit as the fog builds in. Still a good mile vis I'd say. EDIT: Very dense now. Probably 1/4 or less. Moon is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 That was pretty cool driving around yesterday morning with the fog. Southwest of downtown, there was little if any fog and brilliant sunshine but the minute you got past downtown going north it was like driving into a big dark cloud...literally. It made the entire cityscape look totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Edge of the fog deck getting close to Madison, looks like we're about to join the club. Easy to see on infrared though a little strange since it's warmer than the ground, due to the nocturnal inversion in the boundary layer http://mapmaker.aos.wisc.edu/scr3/sat/g8/g8msnflash.html Visibility down to 2 miles at MSN and temp dropped sharply to 40 °F. I don't think the real dense fog has made it here yet, just a little hazy when looking down the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
