Hoosier Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Forecast calling for 84 but that looks a tad optimistic to me given mixing heights around 900 mb (temps around 18C at that level). I think we probably fall a couple degrees short though off to a good start as it's already 76. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I agree today will be a good one for you guys, but you will probably want the A/C tomorrow. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 0 Then sure your area will stay in the 70s, but if you're outside tomorrow anywhere more than a few blocks from the lake, that's a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 RAP should be renamed LOL. I'm waiting with bated breath for those 90+ reports out of Northern IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Apparently somebody took a blowtorch to CMI...87 there. 81 at LAF which is the first 80 degree temp of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 RAP should be renamed LOL. I'm waiting with bated breath for those 90+ reports out of Northern IL. MDW rising nicely at 75 despite filtered sun most of the day, could see a jump into the mid 80s if full sun is realized but yeah agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 RAP should be renamed LOL. I'm waiting with bated breath for those 90+ reports out of Northern IL. Up to 86 at PNT with still a few hours left of warming. Already at the high temperature I forecasted yesterday. We suspect the AWOS there has a bit of a warm bias but it could verify the 90+ on the RAP lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 RAP up to its usual tricks ruc06hr_sfc_temp.gif Guess we'll have to wait till RAPv3 for them to fix that... EDIT: Nevermind, v3 on the ESRL site is just as hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Down to 46F right now, three cold days in a row during at least portions of the daylight hours. So much for the warm front barreling through. We'll be lucky if it is through by tomorrow morning at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 worst climo, you should move Early May can get pretty bad when you're north of a warm front here, I can't complain though when I get a thunderstorm out of such a scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Some type of a nice little mcv over western Illinois touching off a bunch of scattered showers/storms the last hour or two. But I suspect once this blows through if we get an hour or two of sunshine our temps are going to really shoot up quick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Wow, overachieving and up to 85 here. Have exceeded GFS/NAM/ECMWF 2m output as well as MOS. Either temps aloft are warmer than progged or we're mixing deeper than expected. Maybe the RAP wasn't really crazy after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Was up to 60*, but backed into the 50s due to the outflow from the storms to the north. The sun is somewhat out now though in Racine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either temps aloft are warmer than progged or we're mixing deeper than expected. Maybe the RAP wasn't really crazy after all. Looks like it might be a combination of both, at least according to the RAP and 18z NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
