SchaumburgStormer Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Some auroras may be visible in the northern Lakes tonight. The Kp index is 5 and the SWPC web page shows that there are auroras over Iceland now. Which is a shame, as it will be too foggy to see it.

Powerball Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The 100% full sunshine helped a lot, it made it as high as 73 degrees way up in Traverse City. That is an exceedingly rare stat at DTW. We'll see if it holds through midnight. The first day with 100% clear skies we've had in 2015 (in November at that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Quick temp drop this evening after the low 70s earlier. Was just outside and was able to see my breath...kinda caught me off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes there have been several days with 1 since then). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Heavy drizzle and 0.15 mile visibility at KLOT right now. Same at DKB http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?x=201&y=131&site=lot&zmx=&zmy=&map_x=201&map_y=131#.VjmRtX6rSUk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visibility about 200 feet, with near zero in areas. Riding down the road, and you pass a telephone pole and cannot see the next one. Reminds me of the fog you get after a quick warmup over snow covered ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually that's the thickest fog you come across. At least from my experiences with winter fog. Fog is coming now here - seeing a little haze in the air here now.

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 In all honesty, the fog forming conditions will be better for Northern Indiana/Southern MI tonight, the stuff in Illinois today is wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm ecstatic about this extremely warm November weather, I'm certain this is the warmest stretch I've seen during this month. Should hopefully reach the big two oh later today (another occurrence I can't recall last) and noticed the low temperature for Thursday cited as 15ºC, that's just ridiculous! That's quite a bit higher than the average high for the same date and within record high striking distance. A ton of strange flies coming out of the woodwork outside.

Chambana Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 All this talk of fog reminds me of 2/4/2008, visibilities were zero, by the afternoon traveling was flat out dangerous, by far the thickest fog I've ever seen. I remember visibilities were zero for much of the day if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Its official - November 3, 2015 was the first day at DTW to have 0 skycover since August 6, 2012! In that time frame between days of 0 skycover, DTW had 198 days of 10 skycover (and of course, several "1"s and many "9s"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Winds stayed up just enough to keep the fog at bay over northwest IL points west. Solid stratus overcast overhead though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm not sure if you mean that literally, but if so, yes, really, I have seen a lot of strange flies. Been taking advantage of the weather to ride my bike to work. Have seen some weird flies the last few days I've never seen before. Like a cross between a sweat bee, a fly, and a yellow jacket. Must be some weird critter that is thriving in the late warmth because it has already lost a natural predator to one of the freezes. Or something like that. Those are exactly the critters I saw, they were clustered on the edge of a deck near vegetation and they were elongated in shape and had thin but good sized wings on them that they didn't use. Just crawling in a bunch on the surface making a light sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Was very foggy really early this morning. Visibility is now about 0.50-0.75 miles. Everything was laden with moisture droplets this morning - still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Made it to 75F at CMH yesterday, but well short of the record 80F in 1987. Saw it discussed for Detroit yesterday, so I glanced at CMH and we also recorded 0.0 Average Sky Cover. I've never really monitored that before however.

WxDanny Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 That fog was awful to drive in. Traveled from OKC back to KLOT last night and endured 7 hours of "3 dash marks ahead of me on the road" fog. The second the sun set the fog cracked it's knuckles and went to work.
