Paulie21 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 37 here at KDPA (county right next to Cook county, Chicago). Not to mention that the 06Z GFS is calling for nearly 2 inches of snow in North Eastern Illinois Sunday night. I'm aware things will change as time advances, however, thought it was interesting. Still possible I think, warm air advection snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Almost entire state of MN is cloud covered, so i don't expect too much sunshine today...

Geos Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It's really cloudy here too, still. Might stay in the 50s today. High of only 52° predicted for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Low of 49F here in Toronto 45F, idk what part of Toronto you live in, but YYZ got down to 45F.

Downtown I don't think we're even close to a hard freeze for later this week.... It's amazing that we have still yet to go below 40F and the lowest temp recorded this fall was on September 17th!

toronto blizzard Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Downtown There you go. That's the reason as to why you were warmer than YYZ. Heat Island effect FTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 There you go. That's the reason as to why you were warmer than YYZ. Heat Island effect FTL Well, I'm not sure how much of the effect I really get, given I'm on the outskirts (St James town); I figure the lake has more to do with it, as the Toronto Islands only got down to 51 last night... but I'm aware that my temp will be higher than at the YYZ airport... it wasn't a question; 49 was my low.

Geos Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 12z GFS shows a snowstorm for a good chunk of WI and Upper Michigan in ~192 hours (10/22). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing that we have still yet to go below 40F and the lowest temp recorded this fall was on September 17th! (41F) The lake often keeps regions closer to it warmer than the outskirts and this is the case at night (urban heat island effect, albedo). Areas further away often see a freeze earlier, a few days on average, than regions closer to the lake. Yeah I know it's amazing. The models do show a nice cool down with perhaps some LES later this week. However, a very active storm pattern could be developing for the second half of the month, perhaps a weak STJ developing, which could limit the idea of temps dropping below freezing as cloud cover hangs on but let's see.

hawkeye_wx Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 37 in CR this morning, had the first light frost in the open parts of the yard. The open grass field near my house was quite fosty. The freezes continue to creep closer on the models, so my garden's days are numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 ORD hit 42 and RFD hit 36 this morning...coldest so far this season. Maybe Alek is trolling...but why would anyone celebrate the fact that an urban jungle modifies a local climate so much? Concrete, pollution, and lack of green space FTW, I guess. UHI is bad enough in the Chicago suburbs! Not a personal attack by any means - to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1vek Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I lived in the loop and Lincoln Park (Chicago) for 1.5 years. Stunning how warm you stay at night, especially in the fall. Being back in Michigan now (Royal Oak), I have noticed more dew in the mornings, as expected. UHI is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 UHI pretty much ends by the time it gets this far north. And with a cap on development in the immediate area and to the north it probably won't change much in the coming years. High of only 58° here today. 2nd sub 60° day since September 1.

Nonsense, one of these days we'll transform the area into the Chitown/Miltown metroplex. Seriously, hope not, but given the way development tends to go, I wouldn't rule it out.

Seriously, hope not, but given the way development tends to go, I wouldn't rule it out. There's certain towns right now that are strict on not letting big developers. Mostly villages west of I-94, but a few other villages like Caledonia in Racine County and Somers in Kenosha County that are closer to the lake. The lake/marine influence muffles the UHI effect this time of year especially when the wind is blowing east. (spring too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
