Hoosier Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Already up to 81. Definitely starting to feel "hot" in the sun with light winds. Yeah, does feel pretty warm. I'm sure part of it is because we're coming off winter and haven't had many warm days yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Leveled off at 65-66° this afternoon. Perfect day to be outside. Dewpoint about 40° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Warmest day so far at 83. Also hit 83 at MLI, and DVN hit 84 for 2nd day in a row. EDIT: Actually bumped up to 84 shortly after posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 mid 60's april day.. perfection compared to yesterday's 50's and wind. So glad we escaped all the heat except for tomorrow before we lake breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Most places in IL look to be a little ahead of where they were at this time yesterday.Just missed at ORD, may have even touched it briefly but not enough to officially register as 80 when we weren't watching the 1 minute data. MDW did tag 80. Tomorrow looks like the best chance for ORD to hit 80 with steadier and more south-southeast flow likely resulting in a later lake breeze passage.

harrisale Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 73 for the high here today and not a cloud in the sky for the second day straight. Only a light occasional breeze as well. Easily the finest weekend of 2016 and our first 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 First 80+ day of the year here, at 82. Also 80 at MDW. ORD fell just short at 79, with the lake breeze having an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 HRRR has ORD at 80 at 16z Monday. That seems quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 After 2 days with highs in the mid-70's, back to reality this morning. 38, dark clouds and a north wind. Will be lucky to hit 43 today. The north side of the house and random patches in the woods is all that remains of the 2015-'16 winter snow pack. The weekend sure was nice!

Chicago Storm Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 74 at ORD, which is well ahead of where it was yesterday at this time."10 after 10" would put it at 84, but the lake breeze will probably keep it at about 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 73 so far here at DTW. Think 80-81 will end up being the max today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Wind is still offshore at Gary, for now...yesterday it was already onshore at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Up to 69°. Wind just starting picking up out of the ESE (100° trajectory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Already 80 here, which is impressive considering we started at 49. 1 degree ahead of yesterday at this time. We have a thin layer of cirrus overhead today though, so may not get as warm as it could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Just tagged 80 here. Noticed yesterday that it didn't really cool off even after the wind shift off the lake...more like the temp was just held in check. Given that the wind shift looks to be later today, I think we'll be able to tack on at least a few more degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got down to 46 here last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yeah there's been some pretty big diurnal swings with this dry airmass. It got down to 46 here last night. Yep, that's what's kind of cool (no pun intended) about this time of the year. We get sort of a taste of what it's like to live in the Plains, with some huge diurnal swings. There's been years where we have a higher temp in April than we do in May, as May has a tendency to be considerably more humid during the warmer spells. Once the leaves fully leaf out, and the crops start sprouting out of the ground the huge diurnal swings become much less impressive compared to March and April. Then of course once we hit mid June it turns into the Amazon rain forest lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Can see those high clouds wisping over IL and WI. Can see the snow cover in Ontario as well. Doh - EURO chops 20° off the high for tomorrow from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
