Brewers Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 DSM is in the low 70's today with 850mb temps right around 10C so they are mixing pretty efficiently. We climb to 12-14C on Sunday so if maximized, low-mid 70's isn't far fetched. Some places in Iowa probably hit 80 on Monday if not Sunday. The potential for more high clouds, especially up this way are keeping me from going wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 http://www.uppermichiganssource.com/weather/blog_post.aspx?id=1177296#.VQNcFfzF8nE Nice day in the mid-40's today but, 18 years ago one of the biggest storms ever hit the UP, specifically at MQT in Negaunee. There they received 50" of snow due to a persistent n/ne enhancement flow. After the storm, the depth at MQT was 63". The highest ever recorded at the current site. I can only imagine here in the higher terrain there must have been 60" or more during that storm. I'd give anything to see that again. depth down to 33" at my house.

michsnowfreak Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Almost all gone. Maybe 2" OTG. Lots of kids out today. Lots of drifts and patches of snow left, but its borderline T depth now. Its a real tossup. Some lawns still primarily snowcovered, some fully bare. Tomorrow will likely end the streak of days with measurable snow on the ground at Detroit which began on January 5th. A nice slow melt of the snowpack with not a drop of rain made for a flood-free melt, much like last year (last year saw minor flooding, but it was no disaster as it was feared).

cyclone77 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 67 here today. Felt fantastic. Only a few scattered piles left, and a LOT of mud. 850s were only in the 7-8C range this afternoon, so the Euro's 18C would be really toasty with decent sunshine. The ground will have dried out quite a bit by Monday, and with no vegetation yet that could mean some 80 degree potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 12z ECMWF has 850 mb temps of 18C in northern IL/southern WI at 18z Monday. Wow 18c, that's much warmer than it was showing a few days ago. Would be interesting to compare that with observed RAOBs from the March 2012 heatwave. At least 70s are a lock if the Euro is right with those 850 mb temps.

RCNYILWX Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The 850 mb temps during the warmest day of the March 2012 heatwave, March 21st, were about 14C at both DVN and ILX. 925 mb temps were the bigger story, 20-21C at ILX on the 12z and 00z RAOBs and 18C at 12z and 20C at 00z at DVN.

Guest ovweather Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Over an inch of rain so far today in Louisville with another 1-2" possible through midday tomorrow. The Ohio River is now expected to reach it's 3rd highest crest in the last 20 years at Louisville. One month ago the area was nearing moderate drought status.

Hoosier Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 00z NAM not playing ball with the 12z ECMWF 850 mb temps on Monday, however it still manages widespread readings well into the 60s-low 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I actually got sun the past few days...face feels a little burnt. March sun doing its thing. Also noticed greening of some grass in spots...south facing. I really hope we slow down here and not get too far ahead with budding out. I really would like some apples off my trees this year.

cyclone77 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 ECMWF temp maps only show low-70's, so odds are there isn't deep mixing as shown. Cool. Hopefully the mixing ends up better than that, as low 70s are pretty meager with H8 temps over 15C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Foggy mid-40's should kill what remains of my snowpack tonight. All that's left is a couple inches in the shaded areas outside of the huge piles that will take a long time to melt away entirely. Visibility is about a mile in my neighborhood right now.

cyclone77 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 41 degrees to start the early day here. Sure beats heading out into the subzero air like so many times in the recent past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 All the models have slowed the Monday front. DMX is talking 80s in southern Iowa if the Euro is right. Oddly, the Euro, despite showing 18C 850 temps across the state, only has surface highs in the low 70s, barely higher than yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 currently 32(and the low as well), windy and spitting snow. still can't believe how it went from bitter winter cold to spring just like that. 32 isn't bad for a low considering that's the normal high at this point in March. Back up to 53 tomorrow! EDIT: snowing and sticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Bright blue sky but chilly this morning. Hopefully the winds tomorrow can mix down the warm air and overcome the high clouds. 70 within reach. Then it's back to reality next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just reading from several Cincinnati tv stations that the Ohio Valley is expected to have its most significant flood since 1997 with 58 feet expected at Cincinnati. Moderate flooding expected downriver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 snow pack continues to shrink! just over 30" still at my house but it's a small area. I notice the Eastern UP, sandwiched between two cold lakes has managed to escape a lot of the melt. compared to this day in 2014 and 2013, Spring has def come early this year!! 2014: 2013: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
