Geos Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 LOT concered about redevelopment of fog again - especially over eastern CWA. .DISCUSSION... 258 PM...LAST OF THE FOG HAS BURNED OFF ACROSS DUPAGE/WILL COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON. FIRST FORECAST CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG TO REDEVELOP TONIGHT. DEWPOINTS REMAIN QUITE MOIST IN THE MID 40S. THE GRADIENT HAS TIGHTENED ACROSS NORTHWEST IL INTO SOUTHERN WI BUT WINDS STILL RATHER LIGHT OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OR SO OF THE CWA AND EXPECT THEM TO REMAIN RATHER LIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HRS AND NOW WITH CLEAR SKIES...WOULD EXPECT DECENT RADATIONAL COOLING INTO THESE MID 40 DEWPOINTS WITH SOME FOG LIKELY REDEVELOPING DURING THE EVENING. CONFIDENCE REGARDING HOWLOW VISIBILITIES WILL DROP IS LOW...THOUGH WITH THE TIGHTER GRADIENT...WOULD EXPECT THE NORTHWEST CWA TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF LIGHT OR NO FOG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR DENSE FOG TO BE GENERALLY EAST OF I-57 INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA. NO HEADLINES FOR NOW BUT WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED THROUGH THE EVENING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 This cool down is going to feel a little chillier after almost a week of torching.. Might just Will have to give in and light the furnace pilot on Sunday before the wife gets home from up north.... She endured the first round of 50's in the house like a trooper but only because the torch week was incoming and the house would be back in to the 60's without heat. It's always fun to endure the first cold snap with no heat but it gets old climbing in to a cold bed and seeing your wife clothed up around the house in the evening like she's living in an igloo.

BowMeHunter Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wife's dad just smacked a buck going up to Ashland.. Hit it right outside of Hayward. He said the trucks temp outside was reading 58 @ 12:25! 18 degree's warmer than Kokomo Indiana where he's living. Normals are 36/18 for Hayward. Thankfully nobody hurt and the buck went down with little suffering. Please travel safe and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Here's mine from last week. A nice sized 4 pt. Truck held up well considering I was going 55. At any rate, was able to keep inner thigh meat and the back straps. Sliced them open, stuffed 'em with mushrooms, then wrapped and pinned bacon around the meat and grilled to a med rare. YUMMY!

stormtrackertf Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 A very foggy start to the morning here in Detroit on this Thanksgiving day. Visibility 1/8th of a mile at DTW, on our way to a high in the low 60's later on putting us in all time record territory for Thanksgiving. Great weather for the parade downtown.

dmc76 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Looks like good eatin'. That Deer meat is so bruised. It would actually be terrible eating. Bowme i know the feeling of smacking a deer. I have hit 3 of them in my life. Where i live we have large lite up signs to warn people on Deer crossing. Its nuts. Every morning drive to work I would see a dead deer every half mile on side of road. Clipper on the 29th/30th could be something worth following HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 A very foggy start to the morning here in Detroit on this Thanksgiving day. Visibility 1/8th of a mile at DTW, on our way to a high in the low 60's later on putting us in all time record territory for Thanksgiving. Great weather for the parade downtown. While the record high today (69F in 1913) certainly seems out of reach, here are the all the Thanksgivings that hit 60F+ since 1896, which is our warmest Thanksgiving on record. With a low of 36F this morning, clearly 1896 will keep the record at the very least for mean temp. Unsure if any Thanksgivings hit 60F+ from 1870-1895. 11/26/1896: 65F/55F 11/26/1908: 62F/39F 11/26/1914: 60F/43F 11/30/1933: 60F/38F 11/20/1941: 62F/38F 11/26/1981: 60F/36F 11/22/1990: 60F/35F Will we hit 60F in 2012? We certainly will hit the 50s, and the last 10 Thanksgivings? 3 had highs in the 30s and 7 in the 40s, so I guess we were due for a mild Thanksgiving. Enjoy it ye Indian Summer lovers, it ends tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Gonna be a toasty Thanksgiving. Already 56 and climbing. Looks like we'll see mid 60s even with increasing mid-high cloud cover. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 While the record high today (69F in 1913) certainly seems out of reach, here are the warmest Thanksgivings (all the ones that hit 60F+): 11/26/1896: 65F/55F 11/26/1908: 62F/39F 11/26/1914: 60F/43F 11/30/1933: 60F/38F 11/20/1941: 62F/38F 11/26/1981: 60F/36F 11/22/1990: 60F/35F Will we hit 60F in 2012?

Enjoy it ye Indian Summer lovers, it ends tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving all! The average high today versus 11-30 on thanksgiving 1933 is 3 degrees. So, 11-22-1990 is the best measuring stick. The record of 69 in DTW is definitely safe. I'm not making much of a point here, just blabbering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The average high today versus 11-30 on thanksgiving 1933 is 3 degrees. So, only 11-22-1990 is the best measuring stick. Yeah and as I said, record today is 69F. Always kind of odd on Easter and Thanksgiving when your weather records are mercy to the day it happens to fall on, which changes every year.

Chicago Storm Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Happy Thanksgiving all. If Chicago hits the predicted high of 64 it will be only the 10th 60F+ Thanksgiving on record, and tied for the 2nd warmest on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 A quick question regarding ground temps. Looks like Saturday night Door County will be seeing some light snow (up to 0.1-0.15" of precip on some models). It should be overnight, and the high on Saturday is projected to be 32F, with the low projected to be 26F. I am not sure if ground temps will hamper accumulation on grassy surfaces. I would imagine it being difficult to accumulate on concrete, but given temps being safely in an all snow zone and water temps cooling off pretty well by now, I'd like to think minor accumulation can be expected.

Road temps around the state are still in the 40's but you should be able to see some accumulation on grass if it snows hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Grrrr.. calling for 3-6" with some wind in Ashland now.. I would have went back up north with the wife had the euro not been locked in showing the main snow north and naso much of a big deal... GFS and NAM were wetter and south for a while but I figured they were just teasing as usual.. 59 degrees up there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 .....in Florida! Yeah seriously, glad I didn't go back this year. Clouds have moved in, back to dull.

IWXwx Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It hit 62 here today, but not close to the record of 70 in 1931. Now getting some light rain. I decided to put up the Christmas lights so I wouldn't have to freeze my fingers later. After some turkey, I went out and caught a few bluegill, figuring it would be my last fishing excursion of the year. All in all a good day. Now on to winter!
