Stebo Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Looks like 68 will do it for DTW already ticking back down as clouds move in. Sucks because most of my drive in, the car was 70-72 and it is usually dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I will say this I was almost tempted to turn the air on in my car but I didn't. However the bus from the employee lot to the terminal does have the air on and it is like a refrigerator in here haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clouds and fog this week really held back what could have been this week. Clouds and light fog kept Sunday at 57, managed to hit 65 despite heavier fog on Monday, Tuesday was good, and then "only" 60 with fog and mist most of the day.

osubrett2 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Some nice, April like showers rolled through between 6pm and now. Plenty of lightning, a few rumbles of thunder. Picked up .67" IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Getting some pretty decent easterly gusts out there. Temp down to 41 with a few sprinkles. Feels pretty chilly. Shot a quick backyard time lapse earlier of the low and mid clouds moving 180 degrees in different directions from each other. Don't see that very often.

Currently sitting at 61.7F. At this rate, YYZ is on pace to seeing the warmest February on record. What a garbage Winter. GFS and Euro seem to indicate that winter will return by the beginning of March. Perhaps March 1984 redux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooting for clear skies and some overachieving.... how awesome would it be to pop 80 in FEB! Now THIS is how you do a torch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what we can do on the other end of the scale! As far as the severe threat, I'm skeptical. It seems our best severe events tend to sneak up on us. Once the SPC puts us in the bubble we usually end up with nothing more than a gusty frontal line and a couple of claps of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we will have a tornado outbreak tomorrow. It's like when the announcer says, "He hasn't missed a field goal all season!" Lol As for weather, I am truly only a snow fan myself. Sure, I like a good Thunderstorm but generally don't like seeing people's houses & lives destroyed. Rarely does that happen w/ a good 'ole fashion snowstorm. As for tomorrow, hell let's go for 90, but still that doesn't make up for the total disappointment in this year's lack of winter weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, love the extremes. And yes, sleet sucks. Sleet is just a frustrating reminder that the mid levels have failed you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps March 1984 redux? Yeah..... not happening lol. It'll be like how its been all winter long, some transient cold shots in the East with the coldest anomalies centered out in the West (around Alberta, Pacific NW). The models keep the SE ridge predominant through the next 2 weeks, so if there is the possibility of any snow, it'll be hard to come-by if it maintains its strength. Once that EPO ridge retrogrades into the Aleutians and then into Kamchatka (probably around Mid-March), then Winter will be over and Spring will take hold across the nation (another torch). Honestly, stick a fork in this Winter, its over! At best we'll see another 4", maybe 6" if were lucky but thats looking like a long shot. Another dud Winter., lol.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 A line of decent cells passed through my area late this evening. I saw a bit of lightning and a couple brief rounds of pea-size hail. Even tiny hail around here is more rare than it seems it should be, so it's always nice to experience. We're not expected to see much else from this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 In terms of historically warm months that stand out, February 2017 will probably be the winner here. March 2012 was 1.9 degrees warmer than the previous record warm March for Cleveland. December 2015 was also 1.9 degrees warmer than the previous warmest December. September 1881 currently stands out the most of any month at 2.6 degrees warmer than the next warmest September. Right now February 2017 is currently 2.7 degrees warmer than the previous record warmest February. We'll see how it holds, but plugging in projected temps the rest of the month that number could rise to 3.2 degrees warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTechEE Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I might be off by a day, but I think this morning was the 8th time this winter the Dayton area had morning readings 40+ above normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Currently have dense fog now. Crazy to think we could talking about highs in the 70s and severe t'storms later today. The 4km NAM in particular was impressive. It goes from around 40*F this morning to aruund 70*F this afternoon. I would expect that with a system more so in April / May, not February.

Powerball Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 BTW, as crazy warm as this Februrary has been (as of yesterday, DTW's departure is +9.2*F), it doesn't even come close to the top warmest February on record (1882 with an average temp of nearly 40*F).

The winter of 1881-82 was insane. It's the warmest winter on record for Detroit by 1.2 degrees...and 3.1 degrees warmer than any winter of the last 85 years. Only 13.2 inches of snow fell.
