Geos Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Every day this week the forecasted high has busted too high. It's been sunny, but it's barely getting above 50°. There's been frost every morning since last Wednesday, except Friday. Need some sustained warmth to help the trees push out their leaves!

Areas further inland like Rockford have been well into the 60s each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The onshore winds need to stop for several days! I see a lot of fog over this way in the mid to late spring. So I know those days are coming soon. Air has been too dry so far.

Geos Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 It's strange how UGN is coming in warmer than ORD at the moment though despite a NE flow It was probably due to more clouds at ORD. It reached 59° briefly... now at 49°.

Geos Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hopefully this is the last day with temps in the 40s. Raw day out there with NNE/N winds gusting to 25mph.

Geos Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Usually I get away for a time in the spring, but not this year. With the exception of March 2012, the most consistent warm stretches I've been in this early in the season have been spent down south or to the west. Month ended up about -0.6° from normal. Wet month also - almost 4".
