Hoosier 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? As far as major reporting stations, Evansville and Paducah hit 77 on December 2, 1982. 80 just seems like it will be out of reach based on the thermal fields. I could see somewhere like STL hitting 76 or 77 if things go right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota Meso Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 This looks pretty nice, courtesy of CBS 58: Seven Day Forecast As of this time I agree that snow chances are possible, this looks like the GFS forecast. If it were me at this time I would put another graphic below the snowfall ones that says 30% chance, and adjust it as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me at this time I would put another graphic below the snowfall ones that says 30% chance, and adjust it as needed. Most of the other local mets have highs in the upper 30s to low 40s on Sunday, which I realized after I posted this map. I'm fine if the cold weather waits another day or two if it means the big one projected early the following week (Nov. 9-11) shifts northwest, because right now that looks like an OV storm.

daddylonglegs Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Fog is horrendous by the Mississippi River...just got back from the MIL's house and visibility was probably 20 yards or less. I 90 was empty or so it seemed because I couldn't see anyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Temps are taking a tumble, down into the mid to upper 30s in much of the area. I was not expecting the onshore flow with fog to be as marked as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Probably about 1/8 mile vis here. Definitely foggier than what we saw about a week ago when other surrounding areas had near zero vis. Temp already down to 43, which is much lower than the forecast low of 50. Strong WAA should kick in around daybreak, so I'm still confident we'll go at least deep into the 60s tomorrow.

Chicago Storm Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Obviously it highly depends on how quickly the fog mixes out...The daily record and all time December record highs (Both 71) look to be in play at ORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rent Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Holy fog. I'm not exaggerating when I say I can only see a slight glow across the street where a house should be.

KokomoWX Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 My school has already had two fog delays that turned into cancellations. Not going to be pretty tomorrow should this happen. Should we cancel, all built in snow days would be gone before we even have winter weather. Oh wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thicker than pea soup outside. At least it's white ! Was reading the daily comics (ie, the ridiculous CFS weeklies) and the latest weeks 3 & 4 show torch after they showed very cold the last 2 days. So, while trollpical has abandoned them the last 2 days, be prepared he will be posting the garbage today lol. Other than the wild gyrations of the models every 6 hours, certainly looks like a more active period ahead after our very mild first week of December.
