cyclone77 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hit 58 before caa began. Back down to 55 now. May bump back up later but may not make 60. Still feels great out there despite the howling winds. Vis satellite shows ice floating away from the northeast IL shoreline. Pretty cool. Gonna end up out in the middle by later today with these strong westerlies coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDude Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Incredible! Now I've been convinced that when it's windy and despite being nice out, there is still not a lot of shootings. So let's see if my theory holds up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 51 @ UGN...Geos is gonna bust already busting Yep. 55° with gusts to 50 mph. It's unpleasantly windy outside. Down to the remnant sleet patches now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Lol that God forsaken sleet is still around?! That's insane lol. Sure is, but we're no doubt losing most of it today. Big melt off overnight with the winds and jump in dewpoints. The yard is a swamp. Not sure why Geos thought today wouldn't produce the warmth... Milwaukee's already up to 53.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Most of our snow is gone now, but the late November snow and December rain and sleetstorms left areas of solid ice under the snow. Even the piles of snow on my patio, which I always haul to the street to melt, are too icy and solid to use a snow shovel this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 There have been several reports of near 60 mph wind gusts across Iowa this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Getting gusts to about 50 here at times. HRRR has consistently showed the highest winds reaching here between 1-3pm. Shows pockets of 35mph sustained. Could get some 60+ gusts around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why Geos thought today wouldn't produce the warmth... Milwaukee's already up to 53. Clouds. CAA is approaching quickly from the west like Cyclone said. Front just west of Sycamore. 59° right now. Will probably touch 60° in the next hour. Wind ripped the top of my main birdfeeder off a little while ago and blew the neighbors garage cans into my yard.

A-L-E-K Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 you said mid-40s bro, 60 is already widespread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 A getaway long weekend. Was going to be a snow trip to Marquette but they really do have subpar snow (for them). Thinking they have a foot at most in the city, up to 2 feet in Negaunee. Yes it's more snow than I've seen all winter,but I had more in my own backyard much of the last 2 winters and my snow trips to the U.P. usually entail some epic snow. No time to drive all the way to Keweenaw and the parents are going so have to have things to do lol. I figured i will try to take a longer trip next winter way up. Or rather, hope for a 2013-14 repeat and make a snow trip unecessary You simply ride the highway NW toward Big Bay and they have 4-5 feet. The Lake is at low elevation and always 1/3rd of what the Huron Mnts have. No reason to go there, just go spend the weekend in Grand Marais.

Geos Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 you said mid-40s bro, 60 is already widespread I thought it would be mainly cloudy like yesterday. In my experience, most mild winter days have a good deal of clouds, but they're usually not this windy either. Going to enjoy it before the colder air moves in later.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Dang thick cloud deck is messing up the warmup, just like yesterday. It was supposed to be full sun here and partly sunny early with clearing up along hw20, but the stratus rotating around the south side of the upper low is more widespread and stubborn than expected.
