Jonger Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 When will we see our first 50 degree day at NWS Marquette? So far this Spring, the warmest temperature at our office in Negaunee Township was 47 degrees on March 29th. Since we usually see our first 50 degree temperature around March 15th, we are already 3 weeks behind schedule. In addition, there have only been 10 years where the first 50 came in the month of April and we normally see about five 50 degree days by April 8th Unfortunately for those ready for Spring, below normal temperatures are expected through this week as the area is in an unsettled weather pattern. Looking at the longer term, there may be a warm up for next week but it will likely only bring us back to more normal temperatures. With the expected forecast, it is doubtful that we will see 50 degrees before the 15th, which would put this year as at least the 4th latest. Note: Weather records for the National Weather Service in Negaunee Township date back to October 1961. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Really nice and mild out now. Sunny and 55°. Winds are calm, so suspect the lake breeze front will hit soon. Flood watch issued for most of WI. Areas close to shore have already have a NE wind. The Racine lakefront is 42 degrees right now. The lake breeze saved the game for the Brewers today lol.

Chicago WX Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 A bit of convection popping up... Doesn't look too shabby in and around Kokomo right now. Hope you get something. I'll get missed here just to the north, with the cell in Tippecanoe County...but might get to hear a rumble or two. EDIT: nice flash of lightning to the west just now. Spring has arrived.

hawkeye_wx Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I definitely notice the 50+ dewpoint with the upper 60s temp, the first semi-humid feeling of the season. I was even sweating a little while doing some yardwork this evening. I'm hoping to hear some thunder tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Back down to 39 after a brief spike to 50 this late afternoon. another cheap high this month but that's april/may for you here... useless in between months like oct/nov. wish we could skip to summer when I could actually give a **** about rain.

frostfern Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Warm front gets within 10 miles of here tomorrow. Might need to take a drive south if the 70s stop where the map shows them. haha Something tells me those temperatures are overdone up my way. 70 degree temps won't get more than one county north of the tropic of Indiana. Expect the stratus inversion to lock in tonight and have trouble budging tomorrow without a real strong low level jet arriving until late in the day, after peak heating.

OntarioWX Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Some cells rolling through southern ON producing some lightning here. First time I've seen lightning since last fall I believe. I recall hearing some rolling thunder with the rainstorm we had in late January but this is probably the first legitimate thunderstorm we've had this year. Listening to the thunder outside and seeing flashes of lightning... god, I am so ready for summer. The rain sounds lovely as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Pretty intense lighting in Toronto right now. I'd say about 4 flashes per minute for frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be warmer than I will most likely. Probably hit 65° around Grand Rapids I'm thinking. Would be nice to get to 60° here at least tomorrow. Not counting on it though. Convection tonight could hang up the warm front further south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 80 is probably asking too much but I think we could pull off something in the 76-78 range here tomorrow if clouds don't spoil it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
