Stebo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Can't wait to watch the temp at SUX and surrounding areas skyrocket tomorrow. That corridor from Sioux City back to around Broken Bow look to be in the max area of heating potential. Watch someone out there hit something stupid high like 95.

Hoosier Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Watch someone out there hit something stupid high like 95. Wouldn't be that shocking. Whether it's 92 or 95, mighty damn impressive either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Still thinking mid 70s here tomorrow. Putting a number on it, I'll say 76. Starting to see signs of perhaps a slightly higher starting point than originally anticipated. The forecast is a little tricky as mixing depth is in question, and tonight's observed soundings out west make one wonder. Doing a mix down from just 925 mb would yield highs very close to what I'm calling for, so while there's bust potential either way, I feel like the greater risk may be something warmer.

stormtrackertf Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Dang, even we might make a run at 70 here in Detroit. DTW is forecast to hit 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Should be my first shot in 2015 at cracking 50 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Down to 51 here. We'll likely dip well into the 40s, and even reach the upper 30s if we completely go calm. However, the cool near surface layer is extremely shallow, and will very quickly mix out like it did today. We saw temps jump over 20 degrees in less than 2hrs this morning. Still sticking with my original forecast from earlier today... Here...81 MLI...82 CID...82 DSM...85 ALO...87 SUX...91 I'll likely be missing the best of the max temp extravaganza tomorrow, as I'll probably be tied up at the Ford dealership for quite awhile. Picking up a 4wd '15 Escape Titanium tomorrow. Should be a much better/more efficient chase vehicle than the current 4X4 '11 F-150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 3z RAP has a spot of 95F in the Sioux City area at 21z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 3z RAP has a spot of 95F in the Sioux City area at 21z. Probably overdone, but as you and Stebo said it really wouldn't be that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This doesn't look too bad, there will be some cirrus clouds to tend with, otherwise all systems go. Current earliest occurrence of 90+ degrees at SUX is Mar 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 MLI started out at 47 today compared to 26 yesterday. 12z sounding shows mid 60s only a few thousand feet up already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's not as thick as yesterday, but there is a lot of cirrus again today. 80 will be tough to reach unless this stuff thins out a bit more. It appears there are thick clouds from northeast Iowa to northern Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 56 and clouded over here already. 30s and rain in northern MN. Here comes the reality check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 62 here, which is 14 degrees ahead of where we were at this time yesterday. If we maintain the same pace then we'd end up right at my call of 76. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Clouds are definitely more of a hindrance today than I thought. 4km NAM did great with clouds yesterday. For today, naso much. Still a great day with a good shot at mid to upper 70s here. Called an audible on trading the truck in. Started to unload some of the stuff out of it and got kind of sad lol.

Ha thanks, but actually decided to keep the truck for now. Doesn't get that great of gas mileage, but it has a lot of other good points to it. I look at hail damage as a badge of honor lol. Up to 68 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 First 70 degree day in the bag. Up to 71 here, and also at MLI. SUX up to 83. Dews are suprisingly still in the low 40s here, so we have yet to fully mix out. Moisture layer is extremely shallow, so I'm still thinking we can get this to mix out a little later. That should give us a nice boost by mid afternoon. Clouds have thinned a bit as well. EDIT: Iowa City really bottomed out this morning, and started out at 35 degrees. They've already risen almost 40 degrees to 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's 73 here as well, so it's quite nice. It may not be this warm again for a while. The cirrus shield has been moderately thick, but I'm seeing more sun now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
