Chicago WX Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Welp, 83 at 2 PM, one degree higher than my call. Given the thermal profiles we should top out around 86 or 87. Our late evening decrease is tricky given the strong southerly flow...could see us being a little warmer than the numbers I have. Good call by you. Inside temp at my place has hit 76º. AC is now cranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Good call by you. Inside temp at my place has hit 76º. AC is now cranking. Yeah it's getting warm. I'm gonna hold out...I'm not putting the AC on this early in the year...it's a matter of principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hail to the size of golfballs was reported around 11am this morning just south of here a few clicks and pea sized hail at my location When the severe thunderstorm plowed through here it was 44.6F... it's up to 70F right now and sunny. More storms are expected this evening/overnight. A truly fantastic opening to the severe weather season here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Card Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 No freaking way we have three or four days below freezing day and night. That's NEVER happened this late in the year. I would agree, be tough for sure, but next weeks system has potential to be a monster with a widespread severe event, flooding and a snowstorm for WI if not as close as Chicago should the low track across central/ northern IL. It's a watcher but don't put your shovels away just yet, I think this system will generate plenty of it's own cold air and it looks to stay below normal at least for the following 10 days or so post next weekend...certainly no heat waves in sight. Just my thoughts, but the system will be a very sloooow mover so plenty of wet at least...cool showery...Sat night is what is peaking my interests...

Hoosier Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'm trying to figure out what halted our temp rise this afternoon. Forecast soundings indicated we should've been mixing to about 850 mb, which should've supported highs in the 85-87 range. We topped out at 84. Clouds did thicken up by mid afternoon so perhaps that is the culprit. In any case, I still think our temperature drop will be very slow tonight.

Indystorm Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I do have to express my amazement that the first PDS tor watch of the season was in WI on this early April date with temps and dews more akin to June. And that there have been verifiable tornadoes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Congrats Wisconsin Yeah I'm watching that system closely...could be a big snowstorm for the Upper Midwest and a severe weather set-up here in the Northeast. -EPO pattern is causing a strong Canadian high to build south and bring in the chilly air....still a pool of -30C 850s sitting over Baffin Island, so that could be an impressive cold shot for the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest after the torch.
