Hoosier Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Looks like a chance for some lake effect snow off of southern Lake Michigan overnight/tomorrow. Setup isn't anything like what happened last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 First above average temp day at CMH since March 9th; a stretch of 11 days which is the longest below average period since mid-May 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Huge spread in potential outcomes tomorrow around Chicago metro. If stratus isn't a problem, then mid to upper 70s would be possible. If it is a problem, then it could be 10-15+ degrees cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 We're stuck in the upper 30s today, with mist, north of the warm front. Southwest Iowa is in the 70s again this afternoon. They've spent much of the last week+ in the 60s and 70s. The plains can heat up extremely easily this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be an interesting drive down I-35 this afternoon. 39 at Mason City while it's a balmy/sunny 76 at Lamoni. Several reports of golf ball size hail in northeast Iowa this afternoon from those little elevated cells. Probably an unpleasant surprise to some peeps up there, as I don't think anything like that was expected today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 HRRRx has the QC hitting 80 tomorrow. That would be a hell of a lot different than what we saw here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 30 degrees with freezing rain accumulating already. Looks like a long night with possibly .2-.3" of ice (as much as .5" on some models). Could be some real issues as this area is not accustom to freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 All the big storms with hail passed well north of me this afternoon. A couple tiny cells that popped up near Cedar Rapids dropped only sprinkles, but did produce several sharp cracks of thunder. It's unclear exactly how warm we'll get Friday. It will depend on sun vs clouds and how soon the line of thundershowers moves in. 65 and 75 are both possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Looks like a decent shot at 80 even for ORD, if the HRRR has a clue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Temps still in the lower 70s at 11pm over southwest Iowa. Meanwhile northern Iowa continues to shiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a fairly unusual occurrence for Chicago to reach 80 in March. It's only happened in 10 out of 145 years or whatever of temperature records. Before March 2012, it hadn't happened in March since 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Already 7 degrees warmer than yesterday's high. 50 right now. Record at MLI for today is 80, so if the HRRR is right they could get close. Point has 77, so we'll see. If the clouds/rain move in quicker than modeled that could be a fly in the ointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 ...Meanwhile in the arctic! two tenths of ice on everything. Thankfully no wind to speak of. Should melt off a little today with a high of 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 1907 must have been insane in Washington, DC. 3/23/1907 they recorded a high temperature of 93 degrees, holy smokes. Not in our sub obviously, was just poking around stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR has 80 at ORD later (and it's running a degree cool). Then it drops almost 40 degrees in 2 hours after the lake enhanced front comes through.

Chicago Storm Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Up to 81 at ORD. Easily broke the record for the date. Might add a bit more before clouds move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The CR airport reached 73 earlier while I topped out at 71. The front just passed and quickly dropped the temp to 60. We'll be in the 40s by evening, just like O'Hare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Largest 1hr temp drop is in play at ORD. Record is 30F on 3/26/1908.It will depend on lake breeze speed. Already pushing into Lake co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 From what I can tell, this is only the 3rd time that Chicago has had an 80+ degree temperature and a 6"+ snowstorm 10 days or less apart, and the first time it's happened in March. The 1910 case appears to have been a slow moving cutoff low, so it's included even though it spanned 5 days. 4/22-26/1910: 6.4"; high of 86 on 4/29 10/18-20/1989: 6.3"; high of 83 on 10/15 3/12-14/2017: 7.7"; high of 81+ on 3/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hit 75 so far today here at DTW, probably won't hit the record of 81, but a great overachiever nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
