Take 3. :devilsmiley:

You know it's a warm month when even the upcoming cool down is still well above normal.

Been above 50° for 6 consecutive day here! Amazing for Mid to late March. With the way temperatures are going tonight, probably dip below 50° by morning.

NAM would suggest frost possible in extreme northern IL Monday morning.

That is the NAM at 69 HR, just crazy to see those temps with a northerly flow on the east side of it.

Its entertaining watching these models fumble with next week. GFS is cool and the ECMWF is trending mild. Gotta love backdoor fronts in Spring!

This morning is a reality check! 49°, a NE wind and light rain!

...my forecast for Monday and Tuesday morning have been trending cooler. Now lows in the upper 30s showing up.

Feeling cool here too at 59 °F, can't wait for highs in the low 50s on Monday.

didn't feel that bad out here, looking forward to some pop up action later. Still no seeing a freeze on the horizon, especially for the favorable UHI and lakeside areas.

ORD is sitting at 54.3 (+18.1) for the month.

This would be the 5th warmest April on record.

No freeze in the cards here, but definitely closer to reality. Time to start chipping away at those +16F temp avgs...

Today feels like spring...59F...clouds...some rain

One thing LSE hasn't received is much rain... just very light showers when it does fall. Could use a good drencher.

Chicago-

+17.3F here... Looks like the whole lakes/midwest is +16 to +18F..

Looks like an awesome weekend shaping up...Not 80F...but right around 70F and rain free...

Indeed...and the continued above average (but cooler) temps should help the departures stay fairly high.

Yuck. A nasty 40 degree rain. Maybe a few fat wet flakes mixing in too.

I'm at ORD and the fog is legit here too. There was either a sig delay or short ground stop about an hour ago.

Flight is on time for now.

Fog is thickening up on the North shore. Fairly typical March day.

Ended up being about 15min late to take off.

Sitting in Cleveland now with mostly sunny skies, waiting for a connecting flight to Ft. Lauderdale.

New euro weeklies keep warmth around for us through end of period. Cold is gone.

Maybe no more frosts for a lot of us.

Nice to have one of these cool and nice soaking rain days after all the sun. Grass is almost at summer lushness but needs to thicken in just a little pinch yet. Next weeks mix of mild temps and cool backdoors will do the trick.


Got my worm box all set up just have to hope the crawlers are popping out tonight like weenies on prom night.
