Chicago WX Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I just figured that 1 pm i had for a week now was tropical telling me to go on yahoo so he could post every warm thing he could find to me so i just never opened it. Holy Moly, Tim...words can not say how appreciative and happy I am to have seen what was in that PM.. every bit of snow data for MKE going back to 1884-85! I still can't believe what I'm seeing and I can not thank you enough for all the time & effort you put in to it. Would like to send you a little something in the mail if you don't have a problem pm'ing me your address or a PO box addy if you have one. Totally understandable if you don't feel comfortable doing that and I will just figure out something else. Off to see how chocolate milky the root river got with this fast snow meltoff and see if a fresh batch of steelehead moved in yet. Enjoy your day y'all. Y'all need to get a weber kettle and throw the gassers to the curb scrappers. Glad you liked it. And thanks is enough my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trout fishing in this area on both sides of the Mississippi is America's best kept secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Wow! is all I can say when looking at next week. Just when you think the Euro can't get any warmer, it does. The latest 00z run would have 70s+ here for six straight days, which would be unreal for mid March. I knew this morning had a good chance to be warmer than expected. The Euro has consistently shown low to mid 50s here for a low while all the locals were consistently in the 40s. I'm loving the Euro wondermaps. I've found the Euro's surface temp forecast to be pretty good most of the time, certainly better than the GFS/NAM. Des Moines had a low temp this morning of 60!

Powerball Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 And of course, cirrostratus greets us today. So the temps do have bust potential now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Euro wundermaps only go out to 180 hrs? How do you get them to 240? Yeah, they only go to 180. The regular Euro maps have the torch continuing day 8-10 so I'm just extrapolating the 70s out that far as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You can get them off that crappy French website http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/ecmwf.php?ech=240&mode=0&map=1&archive=0 Don't hurt your neck! Looks like the 12C is right up into LSE at 240hrs... Bow- The ice will probably be dead after today. My brother was out yesterday (they killed them again) and said it was slush, but still safe. They were only fishing in 3ft of water so falling through isn't a big issues. Last weekend a group of guys took out 100 perch and that was a slow day. Another thing that is going on, is the water level has dropped a foot and a half since Sat (which is odd). They must be drawing down the pool figuring that all that snow to the north is going to come flowing south soon? Not sure, but I would assume next week the dam will be loaded with walleye fisherman if the warm temps show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 euro showing 70's all the way up to the UP next wed/thurs/friday.. March 2010 might have nothing on 2012.. who would have thunk. All those spring breakers heading down south will be pissed that they could have stayed up north and still enjoyed some beautiful weather (and much more comfortable than the heat and humidity down south).

hm8 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Plenty of people around campus in shorts and t-shirts...including me. Crazy college kids Temp at 56* right now, winds gusting to 30mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 So far the low at ORD has been 55F. If they stay above this through midnight, it will set a new record high min for March 7. The current record is 53F in 2000. Also, if the 55F holds, it will be the 2nd highest low temp on record for so early in the season. The only warmer low temp was 56F on 3/5/1983.

Hoosier Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Although I'm not seeing anything eye popping like the last event yet, the overall regime around mid month looks favorable for severe threat(s) making it abnormally far north for this time of year.

Looks like grasses and cattails went up! Sometimes during a dry spell in the summer, that can happen around here too. Looks like it is dying down.
