Trent Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 58 minutes ago, Powerball said: 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). 1882 was Cleveland's 3rd warmest February at 37.0 degrees. Feb 2017 is currently sitting at 40.2 degrees in Cleveland. I think there've been a couple days this month with fronts stalled across Lake Erie keeping Detroit's temperatures a few degrees colder overall.

osubrett2 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 11am and it's already 70F at CMH. Record high of 72 in 1961 is likely to be broken. Looks like we're going to challenge the all-time February record of 75 (2/26/2000) today. HRRR is behind on temps and maxes out at 73 after 3-4pm.

The 70s are now a distant memory here. Steel gray skies, biting north wind, and temps in the 30s. Enjoy every last ounce of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I picked up a disappointing 0.37" of rain. Now I'm just waiting for the light snow this evening. My cold continues to linger and I don't feel like shoveling, so I'm hoping we don't get much accum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I had a brief thunderstorm come around at 12:20 pm that was quite good. Loud thunder with decent CC lightning, and even some minuscule hail mixed in to the downpour! That's my new earliest hail, that severe thunderstorm in March 2012 to usher in the ultimate of ultimates was the former earliest with lima bean sized hail during that. It got dark enough at 12:00 pm for the streetlights to come on, another rarity. The number of deep winter thunderstorms is small enough to count on my two hands during the past 25 years. What's ironic is this one was better than pretty much all the ones I had during last summer lol. The temperature gradient between Windsor and Waterloo is one of the most extreme I've ever seen. The UW weather station is sitting at 5ºC while Windsor is 19ºC. Now Kitchener says 10ºC so I'm not sure what to make of that one. Windsor ON is once again 19ºC for the 3rd time IIRC with sunny skies; what a fantasy period its been over there. Just having one 20ºC day in the middle of Feb would be historic IMBY, can't fathom 3 with more on top coming in around 16-18ºC. 7 hours ago, Trent said: 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. Insane, no other way to put it. Excellent post, I love those kind of stats.

Guess it sounded pessimistic, but yeah you're right could see a good dusting to inch in spots. I haven't paid too much attention to the remnant defo since the <1" streak at MLI was already cooked a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just an incredibly historic weather day across Ohio today. To have sunny skies and temps in the mid/upper 70s in February is just unthinkable. It's crazy to think there have been 100s of summer days that have been colder than today.

Chambana Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Winds have shifted from the south to the west and temps have dropped accordingly. Reached 68 degrees and was forecasted 65, so another overperformer. IND reached 74 degrees, breaking the old record of 71 back in 2000. Looks like a few days of seasonable weather and closing out the last 2 days of February with above normal temps once again. Carefully watching the ORD record tonight, and biting my fingernails lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If there is one thing that sucks about this awesome warmth, it's that when we finally get back to normal it's going to feel miserably cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 CLE hit 77 today! Not only does this surpass the previous all time February record high of 74, it also ties the warmest temperature ever recorded in meteorological winter in Cleveland since records began in 1871.

stormtrackertf Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Looks like Detroit tied their all-time February record at 70°F today, making this only the 2nd time it has been 70 in February since records began. Edit: Actually, the 2nd time it has made it to 70 in any winter month, period, which is even crazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solar angle is the highest of DJF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
