That would be quite the whiplash. That would truly suck after the past few days of summer weather. MLI ended up with 87, a new record. Hit 86 here.

Geoboy645 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Meanwhile up here I don't think it ever went above 50. Just a cold, windy , gray day. Really disappointing considering the forecast as of 36 hours ago. Oh well, this is pretty normal for this time of year anyway. I'm just used to being on the warm side. At least this weekend looks really nice as of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I thought it was gonna be warm today, forecasted to be near 80. Morning bike ride was amazing by the lake felt like summer. It’s 45 and wind is just howling feels brutal in summer clothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 O'Hare dropped 20 degrees between 7:55 and 8:00. Warmth can still be found in the southwest portion of the city... at least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hoosier and ChicagoWX's favorite met was quoted by an IND met on chat yesterday in an answer to a question about anomalous warm temps recorded at LAF yesterday: "Chad Evans tweeted this at 4:34 PM today: Just hit 87 w/ dew point of 51 here at the station! All the fields are planted @ once, so these darker, bare soils are really warm! Noticed warmest temps are over drier, black sandy-loam prairie soils today at 86-88. Wetter, brown soils 82-84. He followed up with: ...noticed Champaign, Covington to Morocco....all really warm. Heat rolling off 1000s acres of that bare, black ground!"

I don't check it regularly but when I do, it is warmer than everywhere else in the area. It was happening back in winter too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 After a chilly, wet few days in the 30s and 40s, finally going above 50 today. Back to more avg temps and sunshine. Could even see mid 60s here by Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 We aren't even going to get a sprinkle out of this system/front. We are about to go past the three-week mark since our last rain. I sure hope the system early next week can produce something decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Front moved thru here. Rather abrupt temp change. My shorts not working so well now. Thought it was going to hold off until later in the afternoon/evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a guy who wore shorts all the time. Didn’t matter the temperature. And I’m being serious. But he eventually went into management, so now it all makes sense. Cold monsoon continues here.

Always pull for drought, lol. Summer monsoon in IKK is as big of a lock as Chad Evans calling for a hot summer. This spring has been nice so far, with no big rain events here. But, 1.68" in my stratus yesterday. Though I'm sure your beloved drought monitor will still show impending doom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Nice little NW flow wave moving through here this afternoon. Already some lightning strikes near La Crosse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 0.06" here today. Not getting rid of the D0/D1 in our area that way. On a slightly more positive note, GFS keeps hinting at wetter weather. Will it materialize? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Getting very strong gusts from the mostly virga showers moving through. Some is reaching the ground but a lot is evaporating and it's creating very strong wind gusts. Picked up 0.04" this morning to bring the two day total up to 0.10". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 the ~0.75" of rain here yesterday was great to get the morel mushrooms to pop. We could have used a little more rain with how dry it's been though. It's crazy how dead March and April have been for severe weather here lately. This spring was finally warm for a change, yet thunderstorms have been almost totally absent. I'm hoping May will finally bring some interesting weather here.
