cyclone77 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Nice. 10+ degree spread between me and Chicago. Low 40s here and low 50s there. Lots of sun though. Yeah a pretty well defined area of cooler temps out that way. Even some 30s lingering in the center part of the snow field in northern IN. Up to 59 here now.

cyclone77 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Man, temps are really overachieving out in Iowa. Des Moines up to 67, with a good chance to get close to 70. Southwest IA already in the low 70s, so mid 70s look achievable. Temps even out this way are a few degrees above many forecast models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 48 and dripping like crazy. snow depth down to 29". cold front draped over n lake Superior headed this way with a WWA already issued. feels like Springtime a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yeah a pretty well defined area of cooler temps out that way. Even some 30s lingering in the center part of the snow field in northern IN. Up to 59 here now. Snow is really melting fast here. Down to just a few inches on average with bare spots opening up. Should be good to go tomorrow in terms of getting in on real warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachLB Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 very breezy. Expect mid 40's today. Sunday afternoon is looking like a wind advisory with gusts of 40-50mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be good to go tomorrow in terms of getting in on real warmth. Nice. Late Feb sun angle doing work. I was ready to go all in for some mid 60s here tomorrow based on how things are going today, but it looks like clouds may keep things from getting too out of hand tomorrow. Either way it's gonna be a fantastic day for much of the sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 58 here. Might make a run at 60 but some high thin clouds moving in. Only mid 30s with possible rain/snow mix tomorrow. Back to reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Snowpack is history from the snowstorm on Wednesday. Sustaining any snow cover this winter has been a treat. Wow Chitown that's a record for you guys, correct?? Have to imagine most of the sub has put up a healthy positive temperature departure for the month.

Wow Chitown that's a record for you guys, correct?? HVe to imagine most of the sub has put up a healthy positive temperature departure for the month. Yep, the record at MSP is 54. MPX thinking 60 is still within reach. Grills fired up and ice fishermen out in droves. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Built snowmen with my nephew and cousins today. As expected, screaming SW winds obliterating the snowpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Man, temps are really overachieving out in Iowa. Des Moines up to 67, with a good chance to get close to 70. Southwest IA already in the low 70s, so mid 70s look achievable. Temps even out this way are a few degrees above many forecast models. Yeah, we underperformed last weekend, but really soared today with the full sun. The car said 65 when I left spotter training this afternoon.... wonderful.

IWXwx Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I just checked Threaded Extremes and the record highs at FWA for several days before and after today are mid 60's-low 70's. However the the record high for 2/28 is only 59°. We should blow by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Another windy but warm day on tap, once again eclipsing the 60 degree mark, record of 63 set back in 1972 is definitely in jeopardy. Going to finish the month around a +4.5. Definitely glad to have a super Nino out of the way. This has been a snoozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 After reaching 48 yesterday and MQT hitting 50 (breaking record high of 47), back to reality. Woke up to snow at 230 this morning and it's been snowing at varying degrees since. 3" of plaster so far. Temp should fall all day. Winter still feels good!

Powerball Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Built snowmen with my nephew and cousins today. As expected, screaming SW winds obliterating the snowpack. But the lack of sun (which was unexpected) during peak heating and slightly underachieving highs definitely kept the snowpack from melting as much as it could have. Many areas still exist this morning where the deep snow remained in place. We have a shot at 60*F today if Opaque Cirrus can finally be kept to a minimum.

Chitown Storm Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 60° yesterday afternoon, moderate sleet and a few flakes this morning. Ugly. Edit: flipped to all snow and ground whitening up its snowing so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: flipped to all snow and ground whitening up its snowing so hard. Looks like a nice band going through up that way. Already up to 60.

Powerball Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 With the snowpack entirely gone, there could be a period late this afternoon where we see some pretty decent wind gusts. Wind speeds of 50-60kts are expected at 925mb over the next few hours. I'm curious to see if DTW will issue a Wind Advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Torching now at 63*F. Definitely a difference between here and the NW suburbs though (mid-upper 50s), where the snowpack was deeper and still probably exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
