Hoosier Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Only 64 at Gary but a good 10+ degrees warmer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Already at 81. First 80 degree day in the bag. Summery looking flat, high-based cu popping up all over. Looks like a July sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 77 here. Outside shot at 80 if we can keep the lake cooling at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 First 20ºC temperature of the year just reached IMBY !! Waterloo is at 19.1ºC and my guess is 2:30-2:45 pm for their first 20 which is what I figured out to be the average time during the last 18 years of first 20ºC time of day readings. I was the closest yet for winning the contest but it came too soon. This really is the best possible weather you can have in April, and the best April weekend weather probably in years. Getting this taste or dinner of summer makes me want to experience a heat wave so badly; a dry 30ºC day . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Sounds like inland areas are roasting! Very nice day here. About 61° at home. Every other household seems to be outside today. Heard the first lawn mower today. Was at the lakefront about an hour ago and it was only 53° down there. Wall to wall sunshine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Amazing day today, going to add a couple more tomorrow and I wouldn't be shocked if we get close to 80 Monday. Much better than the nonsense earlier this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 First 80 degree day IMBY. I think St. Paul officially hit 79 so far. Unbelievable day out there. Boats are out on the lake and the grills are fired up. Top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 DVN ended up nailing 84, and MLI hit 83. Nice over-achiever today. 81 was the high here. Just an outstanding mid-April day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogget Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Got to 79 here. Great day; people outside everywhere getting that pasty white upper Midwest skin sunburned...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 DVN ended up nailing 84, and MLI hit 83. Nice over-achiever today. 81 was the high here. Just an outstanding mid-April day. Doesn't it feel hot outside, even with the low humidity? I wouldn't know since it stayed in the 60s here, but in the mid-April sun I'm pretty sure I would be sweating if I lived in DVN or MLI.

UMB WX Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 freezing a few blocks from lake. oh well beats 80. save that for seasons in seasons. wish we could fast forward to June.. Seems like it should be so much closer since the very early Easter and torchy march has me thinking we're further along in to spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Didn't quite crack 80, got to 79. Garages open, grills going everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Warmest temps of the year thus far today. Made it up to 77 here and 76 at ORD. Looks like about the same for the area tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, actually quite pleasant with the dews being only in the 40s. Huge difference between that and even dews in the upper 50s. Just enough breeze as well. Kind of a hint of summer, yet comfortably warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Was a beautiful day out today, looking forward to the rest of Spring. In other news, the 18Z GFS around 240 hours is looking ominous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunday and Monday before that are looking interesting on both the GFS and the Euro for at least something decent. Would be perfect timing for this guy.

Geos Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Had a 29° rise in temps today. It was a perfect spring day. Neighbors got a bonfire going. Really good night for that. Looks similar for tomorrow and slightly warmer on Monday, before it drops again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Maxed at 74 today at DTW. I will say we add a couple tomorrow and hit 76-77 and 80 on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Maxed at 74 today at DTW. I will say we add a couple tomorrow and hit 76-77 and 80 on Monday. The only thing to possibly watch out for Monday will be potential cloud development with moisture and convergence (albeit modest) increasing ahead of the cold front. At the very least, could see more afternoon CU develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 75 yesterday and looks like a repeat today. winds turn north with just a high of 43 tomorrow... more typical morning coffee walk. hard to believe a week ago I could hardly keep up with snow removal and now birds are singing, I see a few robins here and there, and flocks of geese flying over this morning headed for Superior. everything is so awake, and believe it or not, there's still snow on the ground. mother nature amazes me!

blizzardof96 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 A high of 66-69f today. Cooler by the lake. 4kNAM has a high of 76f tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 HRRR showing mid 80's inland this afternoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 At least low 80s appear probable away from the lake in northern IL and northwest IN. RAP/HRRR are suggesting mid 80s will be fairly widespread and they performed well yesterday. If you take the warmest forecast 925 mb temps of the day and fit that within the top third warmest days with similar 925 mb temps (we have a smart tool at LOT for this), then mid 80s are a definite possibility. We're going with a high of 80 at ORD now, which would be first 80 of 2016. Normal first 80 is 4/20, so would be close to the average.

cyclone77 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 We started out at 47, but have risen over 30 degrees to 79. Not a cloud to be seen at this point, but I'm sure like yesterday we'll see the summery flat cu explode over the next hour or so. Temps sort of plateaued after those developed yesterday. EDIT: This time yesterday we were 4 degrees cooler at 75, so maybe a shot at 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 78 here. Winds have turned light northerly at Gary so question is whether that gets here before peak heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
