A-L-E-K Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 we should string together a few days in the 50s before another blockbuster december cold front knocks us back into the lower 40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Roads are pretty good after a couple of days of melt, stocked up on human food and cat food. GFS not showing any snow events that would close up the roads again for at least a week or 2 though. Relatively mild evening, upper 30s with southerly winds. Warm air nosing in from the west at low levels. Next cold front isn't until Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 nah...he's just busy packing his things for his move into debbie downer lane. We're letting him crash on the couch. I didn't have the references...so I signed a 3 month lease for an efficiency at 2007 Blindly Optimistic Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Columbia and St. Louis have both clinched 2012 as being warmest year on record. Both probably by a huge margin likely the largest gap yr to y on the data set. Edit: Yes the coolest year in STL was 1875 at 52.8F and the second coolest was 1978 at 53.2F. The warmest is currently 1921 at 60.1F the second warmest 1991 at 59.2F, followed by 1990, and 2011. This year is currently 62.9F through the 9th of December and is projected if taking the current 7 day forecast then using 0F for each day the rest of the year to finish 61.5F. So 1.4F above the previous record. December is also currently at 49.6F through the 11th which is 12F above normal. To finish in the top 5 it will have to stay above 43.1F. To stay in the top 10, 41.8F. March, May, and July all broke the monthly records. December would be the 4th month to finish in the top 5 or top 10. Would be the 7th month for top 20, and 8th month for top 26. I hope it's once in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 This thread's pretty quiet. The complaint thread is kicking butt. People have been discussing a pattern change. My take is that we've had several: warm and wet, warm and dry, and cool and dry. Just no cold and wet yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Up to 46 already. 50 seems like a lock. Snow cover over northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin is shrinking away on visible. Still some very cold air further north over the deeper snow cover. Only in the single digits and teens over northwest Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 About 48° for today. Wind kept it from feeling that warm though, even with the full sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Should see a period of much needed rain Saturday morning. Despite an initially dry sounding, low/mid-level WAA and divergence from the upper level jet along with a surge of moisture from the south should allow for decent UVV and column saturation. Hopefully most areas of Southern WI can get 0.50” of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Exciting 12z Euro run overall. Drops 1-2" here overnight Monday under the upper level low then the possible system after that then the LES machine really cranks on the other side of the lake.

hawkeye_wx Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Disappointing system for the Cedar Rapids area. Models had been locked into 0.50-0.75" for several days, but we only got about 0.36". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
