cyclone77 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 81 for a new record at MLI is pretty good considering it took place before noon. Clouds rolled in about 4hrs earlier than anticipated. Hit 79 here. Fantastic day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 DET has been running quite a bit colder than DTW the past few months, but it was a warm day region-wide today. DTW hit 77F though the record was 81F in 1910. The cold front is bringing a 20-25 degree temp drop in 1 hour as witnessed north of Detroit this evening. Southeast MI has had temps from the mid-teens to the upper 70s over the last 36 hours.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The rain part of this system has been pretty weak so far in much of central/eastern Iowa. Tomorrow's lobe of energy will have to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Tomorrow is one of those days where I have no clue what will happen with temps here. Some models try to get rid of the lake influence and flip the winds more southeasterly, but with the surface low being so far away and a cold lake, I'm not sure it's going to be that easy.

cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Nice soaking rains this morning. Picked up a half inch, which brings the total since last night to 0.64". Rain was very cold with temps in the low 40s. 46 now, but HRRR brings the warm front right up to the doorstep in a few hours, so could make a run at 60.

Indystorm Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 74 and cloudy here with a good breeze from the south. I can recall many days living in nw IN when the cool lake suppressed temps like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models tend to be overly optimistic with getting the boundary north, especially when there isn't a clear synoptic reason for it to do that (like a surface low tracking northwest of the area). Earlier runs of the HRRR had it in the 60s here at this time but it's currently in the upper 40s. Warm air is not far away though with IKK and VPZ in the 60s.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Models were generally too bullish with QPF. I've picked up 0.53". Friday was great, but now we pay for it with a cold, drizzly, nasty weekend.... typical March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Maxed out at 69 here. Would have liked to of picked up more rainfall this morning, oh well, should have a few more chances over the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Sitting right underneath the surface low at the moment. Temps have jumped up into the mid 50s, with low 50 degree dews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Only five times in a hundred plus years but once each of the last two years? That is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the return intervals are 20 years, 75 years, 46 years, and 1 year. Great example of how events occur independently without regard for how many years have gone by. That 1895 case is really ridiculous with multiple 40+ degree swings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Interesting stats for chicago. Detroit had it too (44-77-47). Will have to see if I can figure it out how rare that is here. It's not surprising though. Since November our weather has been the TEXTBOOK definition of roller coaster, there is no way to dispute that, so now that we are in spring when it's usually a roller coaster anyway, the roller coaster is getting more extreme.

weatherbo Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Day after day of low 30's, clouds, fog, freezing rain, drizzle. Ready to turn the page into April. Took this this morning, many roads here in the higher elevations in my area still snow/ice covered with 12-15" on the ground. On average, another 20" of snow could fall. I'd love to see a warm/wet Spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 ^ Still looks like a winter wonderland up there Bo. Grass has really greened up here over the past few days from all of the rain. Trees are still stagnating in the enlarged bud stage. Need more consistent warmth to get them to pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
