buckeye Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 this is an aspect that really wasn't focused on at all locally, and kind of snuck up on us. but now, with a fresh snowcover and very cold air ready to move in, i get the sense the local weather guys are playing catch up. One of our locals doesn't think we'll get above 10 tomorrow and said below zero readings tomorrow night. Everyone was focusing on the 4 incher and I think there is going to be a lot of WTF???!!! expressions tomorrow when people step outside lol.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm wondering if Ottawa can hit -30C/-22F this weekend. Monday morning might be our best chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Officially below zero now here in Erie. -1. Winds are starting to die off a bit, but the temp isn't really falling any faster. I think the best CAA is over, but the calm, or near calm winds later tonight may allow our temps to really tank here at ground level. RUC has us going down to near -20, but I highly doubt we'll drop another 20 degrees. The NWS has us hitting -10, but I think -12 to -15 is doable.

cyclone77 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 -2 now. The only thing hurting us is we only have about 4 inches of snow on the ground. I think if we had 10"+ we'd really bottom out later. Other than that the setup looks nearly perfect for this area. RUC and other models show the coldest temps knifing into northwest Illinois early tomorrow. We sit in the lowlands of the Rock River valley here, so these types of setups really favor this particular area on nights like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Via CIMMS on twitter. Apparently some of these IR readings down to -47 already. Also cool seeing the regional differences and the cold spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wow, already -11 at Cedar Rapids. That oughta make Hawkeye pretty happy. That definitely blows away the coldest temp of the season so far for Cedar Rapids. Still over 7hrs left to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wow, the latest (05z) RUC forecasts some pockets of -30 degree readings as far south as northern Iowa later tonight. So far the RUC seems to be matching up pretty well with the current readings. Still shows -20 for here as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Extreme cold warning? Is this a new thing? Yes, if the actual temp is expected to reach 35 below with winds less than 5 mph the warning will be issued. Saw a post about this new warning somewhere here in one of the forums a while back. http://www.weather.c...ntal_2011-01-04 http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=dlh&storyid=62274&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Umm---it just dropped 11 degrees to -42 lol. Yeah, my bad. It was -31F at 10PM. Crazy. It looks like it hit -44F at 2 AM...a new daily record. Also, it's the coldest temp ever recorded during the Jan. 18-31 period. All-time record is -55F on 1/6/1909. We'll have to see what the min was in between hours. It's -1F imby, about 20 miles west of Chicago. First sub-zero temp of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
