Brian D Posted Sunday at 06:57 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:57 PM Temps peaking around 60 today on W wind. Very nice early Spring day. Possible record depending on what the co-op site records as it stands at 59 (1977). Looking at similar temps tomorrow before a front blows through, and drops max temps into the 30's. Temps will rebound back to 45-50 ahead of that strong LP moving into the region along with potentially heavier rains. Need the precip (wish it was snow though).

cyclone77 Posted Sunday at 07:09 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:09 PM Starting to think we have a decent chance at 80 on Friday with intense southerly flow ahead of the storm system. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad has been texting me some of the clips it captures. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Up to 61 at the house today. First 60 of the season. MSN has a good chance to break the record high of 66 tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted Monday at 01:48 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:48 AM Another great day, lots of sun before 4pm that exceeded high point getting to 9C; forecast was 6C. Many days recently were expected to be cloudy only for partly sunny instead. One of the warmest days so far of the year expected tomorrow 13C partly sunny. There has been some bitter days mixed in but its a fine March, 13 years ago the rumblings of the insanity to come began. I was higher than the price of a Canadian bottle of olive oil!

OrdIowPitMsp Posted Monday at 02:53 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:53 AM First 60 today in Minneapolis. Good chance of our first 70 tomorrow. Backyard cam shows the snowpack took a massive beating today and will likely be gone this time tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like another record going down today, 55 (2014) here in town as forecast is for upper 50's (possibly 60 again). Edit: Looks like Duluth set a record as well. 57 beat 55 (2021). Today's record for them is 58 (2015), and could go down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like only 2 years reached 60F or better earlier [1987: reached 60F on March 6, and 69F on March 7; and 2000: reached 70F on March 7].

Looks like some record-breaking heat in Iowa (76F at DSM & 72F at CID) and Nebraska (79F at OMA) as well. I only checked a few long POR sites, so there are likely multiple additional record highs.

Should I call it record-breaking cold? I guess you can laugh at Ben Noll of the Washington Post as well: Where storms, potential floods and record heat will hit the U.S. this week And all of these other recent media references to "record breaking heat" including in such places as the Quad Cities, Portland, Oregon and Minnesota: record breaking heat - Google Search Surely, 70s to near 80 in these places are as much a heat wave for March 10 as 90s or 100s would be in mid July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted Monday at 09:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:15 PM A batch of high clouds earlier in the day held us back a little, but they cleared and we have surged to 74º. Southwest Iowa is in the low 80s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted yesterday at 01:00 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:00 PM Yesterday DTW hit 65. This was the first 60F since November 19th, nearly 4 months, and the warmest temp since November 6th. The grass is still brown but the only old dirty snowpiles you will find are in some parking lots.

Brian D Posted yesterday at 03:22 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:22 PM After a warm couple days, avg temps today. Then back to warmer, and back to avg. Seesaw, whiplashes. Might get to have some thunder Friday night. You'd think I was in the S Sub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted yesterday at 03:32 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:32 PM Hit 60 here in town again, breaking the record of 55 (2014), DLH hit 62 breaking the record of 58 (2015). A slew of records across MN/WI/UP MI region with some being substantial. Daily records that are 5+ from 2nd place are rather common across the N half of our sub, which shows how extreme swings are much more common than one would think. When I started researching that a few years ago, was surprised at the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
