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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

ECMWF temp maps only show low-70's, so odds are there isn't deep mixing as shown.

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.

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.

41 degrees to start the early day here.  Sure beats heading out into the subzero air like so many times in the recent past.

I miss going out when its -5F and scraping the car windows...the sound of the car starting, making all those funny cold weather noises...  :)

 

Sunny morning again...crazy stretch of sun and warm.
