cyclone77 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Tomorrow looking very springlike. 18z NAM shows cape between 500-1000j/kg in a narrow swath ahead of the cold front later tomorrow. Decent swath of bulk shear values above 30kts. Very nice plume of theta-e feeding north ahead of the front as well. All models show a nice line of convection blowing up along the front later in the afternoon. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few isolated severe reports. With temps near 70, springlike humidity, and the potential for convection should make tomorrow pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I can see December being warmer per those maps in Michiana but I have difficulty thinking the moisture will come. We are currently in a moderate drought once again on the state line and I am very concerned more with precip this winter than cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm sure we'll do a recap at the end, but I can't think of a worse year of weather than 2012...for me personally. Only way to top it off would be 75º and sunny on Christmas Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 It's been in the 50's now for about 21 straight hours. Really weird for this time of the year to have such consistently mild weather. At least we got ~0.15" or so of rain last night, not as much as I was hoping but better than nothing.

daddylonglegs Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Cyclone- At least you had it warm... Today was -insert loud farting noise here- worthless here...unless you like clouds/fog all day and a high temp of 44F... blah... next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 NWS STILL CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ON HOW WARM IT WILL BE MONDAY. SHOULD HAVE A WARM START TO THE DAY WITH MORNING LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S TO MIDDLE 40S. ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA...THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL MIX OUT ALLOWING THE WARM AIR ALOFT TO WORK DOWN TO THE SURFACE. IF THIS HAPPENS...TEMPERATURES COULD TOP OUT IN THE LOWER 60S. HOWEVER...THE CONCERN IS THAT THE LOW CLOUDS THAT COME IN TONIGHT WILL HELP THE STRENGTHEN THIS INVERSION AND NOT LET IT MIX OUT DURING THE AFTERNOON. IF THIS HAPPENS...TEMPERATURE RISES WOULD BE MINIMAL WITH HIGHS MAYBE IN THE LOWER 50S. ding ding ding... clouds and 50F tomorrow...bank it.. I need to move over by Saukville if I want high temps in the 60Fs and sunshine all day in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Was getting a little warm in the house before free AC kicked in.. Bears, Loins, Queens and 49'ers lose.. 670 the score in epic meltdown is on the radio in the background while prepping dinner.. Doesn't get much better.

In your "Kiss The Cook" Packers apron while taking swigs of Old Milwaukee? 670 post game is meatball heaven. But I can't lie, it's so much better listening after Bears losses.

But I can't lie, it's so much better listening after Bears losses. As much as it may pain me say so. Living in Kenosha, I've had friends who have made the mistake of thinking Doug Buffone and Ed Obradovich as "sane and intelligent" thinkers on the Chicago Bears. I agree--it is more fun listening to them after a Bears loss. Pure entertainment. Looking like things might get back to "normal" around here next weekend--really hoping they do. Hard to get in any Christmas mood with the weather being the way it has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathergy Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 My personal thermometer peaked at 59, just couldn't push its way past the 60 mark. Better chance tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Had 0.22" of rain here last night and today. Very dark gray mild day. Here is an interesting stat I never really heard of being kept. And it also goes to show you that while this mild air may be a bit extreme...its actually the norm to have a warm day or two in December. Just last week from Amazon I got a copy of "The Detroit Weather Book 1986", written by then-local met Mal Sillars (he is now in CO), and it has an amazing amount of local weather stats in there. Most of it is now online but in 1986 it would have been a weenies dream. But there were a few interesting things in the book I did not know about (including an interesting writeup on the April 1886 blizzard)....and one of them was the average max and min temp for each month of the year. This meaning, if you take the highest temp and lowest temp of each month of each year and average them. dont know if this was a 30-yr or period-of-record norm, but as of 1986, the average warmest temp in a December was 54F, the average lowest temp 5F.

daddylonglegs Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Haven't watched a Packers game yet.... Looking forward to spring, Uecker and Brewers baseball. I had a high school teacher once who would ask us what grade we thought we would work for during that quarter.. one girl said she didn't really feel like doing much and was going to go for "the D-"...

Tim from Springfield (IL) Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just in the last few hours Weather Channel has upped tomorrow's predicted high here in Springfield--to 77! Crazy. And they are still referring to "near record high temperatures"--LOL. More like beating the all-time December record high of 74 (set Dec. 28, 1984) by three degrees. Could it be very possible that there may be a small, isolated area somewhere around here that could even pop an 80 tomorrow--if TWC's prediction comes true or is even raised further before tomorrow? I don't have the time to research this myself at this time, but has there been any known location within or close to the confines of this subforum's region that popped at least 80 degrees in December?

daddylonglegs Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 One spring we drove from LaCrosse to Rochester (pick up brother) and then drove all nite down to Springfield, MO (Bass Pro Shops)... Thick fog the whole way through Iowa (I wasn't driving). Could hardly sleep because I thought we were going to die in a fiery wreck (this was the early 90's). I swear the guy driving never dropped below 85mph. fog sucks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Meso Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I just saw a couple of posts here, you may want to take some of the forecast highs with a grain of salt for tomorrow. Here in the TC's we were progged to get into the 50's, while that appeared to happen in western MN, we never got out of the clouds. I haven't looked yet, but I doubt MSP ever got out of the 30's. Just checked before I posted this, we did not get out of the 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
