Steblow Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Lake breeze yesterday didn't have any power here until about 6pm here. Warmth actually resurged in the early morning hours and hit 65°. Lawn looks a whole lot better now... no longer brown/yellowish. Now though it is cooling off as the stratiform rain approaches from the southwest. furnace kicking in kicking a** lake breeze now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steblow Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 EURO says it stays mild for the most part after Tuesday. Widespread 50s and 60s through the 21st and then more 60s, and 70s for Days 9 and 10. Even some 80s and low 90s for Earth Day in the Plains. sounds perfect inland.

Geos Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 sounds perfect inland. Warmth should extend to the lake front several times. Noticed leaves starting to form on my Birch trees today. Edit: Warm sector making a final push northward. S winds gusting pretty good out in the Fox Valley. 1 Quote Mercer Island, 350 ft 2021-2022: 11.6", 02/21 2020-2021: 15.6" 2019-2020: ~10" 2018-2019 winter snowfall total: 29.5" 2017-2018: 9.0", 2016-2017: 14.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 @ theweatherman, it will be nearly 48 hours later since saying that "snow" is done for the season. That was a rather bold call and today snow will be falling from the sky. The warm weather may have hampered your thinking on Saturday putting you in summer mode!
