weatherbo Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Fell asleep in front of the fire at 6 pm, woke up at 11 to go to bed, it was 46 with very dense fog. Woke up this morning to continued dense fog, rain showers (.18") and a temp of 38. Currently 42, with very dense fog. A few records broken yesterday at MQT in Negaunee. 3 temperature records were set at the Marquette NWS office yesterday, making this the all time warmest Christmas on record here: 1) a daily record high of 47 broke the previous record of 46 set in 1994; 2) a daily record warm low of 42 broke the previous record of 31 set in 2019; and 3) the warm low yesterday also broke the previous all time December warm low of 41 set on December 2, 1982. Records for the Marquette National Weather Service office date back to 1961. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Records for the Marquette National Weather Service office date back to 1961. MRCC has Marquette data back to the 1870's, and a little from the 1860's. There's a co-op site in town that is married to that dataset to keep a homogenous record in town. Unfortunately, Christmas Day isn't reported yet, but Christmas eve is, and this what the records look like. And just looking at PWS data in town, Christmas Day should be record max by 1-2 degrees, and record low should be eclipsed by 5-7 degrees.

Also adding all temps 40+, as that is really warm, especially late in the month. 1877 is the only year with a 40 reading 3 days in a row around Christmas. PWS data showing lower 40's in town, so you can see where that will end up, and until the system moves out, 2023 should extend 40+ records past Christmas, making it the latest since 1877. 46 12/4/1941 45 12/3/1951 44 12/2/62 43 12/3/62, 12/2/82 42 21/1/62 40 12/22,23,24/1877, 12/12/1928, 12/1/1932, 12/3/1941, 12/5,13/2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 At Detroit, this Christmas the high was 54°, which ties with 2 other years for 5th warmest Christmas. Last Christmas the high of 16° made it the 5th coldest Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 56/49 yesterday, 49 obliterates the record high minimum by 6. 56 was 21 above normal and 49 was 26 above normal for a 23.5 above normal day. The month is now 8.2 above normal as well with still a few more above normal days left in the month. We will probably end up around +9-9.5 with the positive departures left in the month.

Chinook Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 This is the meteorological code for "raisin". But seriously, a major city in our area is getting raindrops and snowflakes at the same time, or the airport is confused, maybe.

Brian D Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 1.80" storm total. That's a good amount of rain for Dec. 3.25" for the month is well above avg (1.56") and all rain, except for T's of snow. 0.2" of snow for the month so far is WAY below normal (13.6"). Light snows coming over the weekend tho. 30.42" (avg 31.72") for the year. After such a dry May-Aug when we have our peak precip, we've done well to get back close to avg. LOL as I'm writing this, a snow shower off the lake is starting to move through, and some sun is peaking through as well. What is all this alien stuff?! I've felt like I've been in a dark, damp cave for a few days LOL And I just saw a small flock of CA geese fly by. THAT'S really unusual. No hurry to head south when it's just fine around here.

Yeah, up my way TH is looking at it's warmest Dec ahead of 1931 (currently 31.8 with 1931 at 30.3) , and Duluth is looking at 2nd warmest behind 1877 (currently 30.2 with 1877 at 32.7). These should hold just fine, as dep are still going to be above normal for the rest of the month. Departures across NE MN are running 12-15d above normal as of today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 This will be a new one for me I think. Tomorrow it looks like wet snow changes to rain late in the day as the precipitation is moving southwest. Just when you thought you've seen it all lol. May get an inch or two if certain models are correct, and perhaps up to a half inch of precip as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 This storm has found a way to keep most of the precipitation all around Livingston county. I have had ~0.1". I hate stacked cut off lows in winter. They rarely produce anything exciting in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Cutoff lows sometimes produce funky outcomes. Rain in Northern Indiana (sometimes heavy) while Southern Indiana, just north of the Ohio River, is seeing accumulating snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Another day, another dense fog advisory. Businesses that rely on the snow, which is a huge chunk up here are really beginning to suffer... very odd not to see the sled traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Santa brought a late present, finally a good rip of snow, what a nice surprise. While this ruins the record of a snowless December, I don’t care! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
