Brian5671 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Writing's on the wall for this one...even the "Cooldown" still had temps at or above 50 yesterday.....reminds me of the end of January where a pattern change was supposed to plunge us into winter and instead it was low 40's...that's about the time I tossed in the towel on this one....

bluewave Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Impressive. Chicago has never had a 4-day (or 3-day) stretch in February where it was warmer than LA until now. #cawx #ilwx 3:03 PM - 20 Feb 2017 DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORDS Chicago: Rockford: Record: Old: High: Old: 2/17: 67 (2017) 60 (1880) 66 (2017) 59 (1981) 2/18: 70 (2017) 62 (1981) 68 (2017) 58 (1981) 2/19: 69 (2017) 65 (1930) 67 (2017) 63 (1930) 2/20: 70 (2017) 64 (1930) 69 (2017) 61 (1983) 2/21: 67 (1930) 64 (1930) 2/22: 68 (1922) 61 (1922) http://www.weather.gov/lot/17Febwarmth_climatereference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All time warmest February temps will be the next potential big warm record there. Wednesday through Monday... The main story for Wednesday, you guessed it, record breaking warmth. For potentially the 6th day in a row the area could be setting record high temperatures. It is even likely that the warmest conditions yet in the stretch will occur Wednesday, and this could come near or even break the all time warmest temperatures for the month of February. Southwest winds are expected to become breezy out of the southwest during the day as another fast moving Pacific system shifts eastward across the Upper Great Lakes. Forecast guidance continues to suggest that 925 MB temperatures will warm back up around 15C over the area, which given the warmth of late would easily support temperatures into the low to middle 70s.

Guidance is often a bit too low on these events as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw record breaking warmth and near 70 in late November into mid December. Then a flip to extreme cold, a blizzard to open January with below zero temps to follow then a flip to warm again for late Jan and Feb. That turned into a very mild spring and summer as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coldest temperatures there since 1872 were in the late 1970's and 1980's instead of 1917 and 1934 in NYC. Maybe NYC could have come closer to the 1917 and 1934 cold records if those winters had the center of the cold further east instead of the MW and OV.

I'd think it's becoming harder to see those kinds of extreme temps if you're near the ocean. The oceans serve as heatsinks in a warming climate (one of the reasons why the Arctic is much warmer than the Antarctic- although the Antarctic seems to be warming up now too.)\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
