Do you want to see crazy? Here's mid-Michigan's 10 day forecast for late February/early March

[Siwsan]

I'm not sure what our snow accumulation has been, so far, but I bet it is less than 6".

[yagotme]

1. Like here in IL, if you don't like the weather, wait a bit...

you'll get something different.

[Arthur_Frain]

6. To be fair, I think they've said this every place I've ever lived.

Except maybe Guam.

[yagotme]

7. "Welcome to sunny, Southern California."

"When it DOES rain, everyone drives like a maniac."

[Arthur_Frain]

14. Albert Hammond Even wrote a song about that in 1972.

He’s got a new cd out next month called “Shake A Bone”, sounds pretty fly for an old guy!

[yagotme]

17. Was there from 83-86 in SD.

Can personally attest to driving habits of rain-soaked Californians.

[Arthur_Frain]

18. Man those were the glory days

81-82 i think they’d just put the finishing touches on the new freeway (was it the 405?). Rents were still decent, there weren’t half as many people there.

[yagotme]

19. $300 might get you an unfurnished 1 bed apt

if you looked hard enough. Expensive for a married E-3 jarhead. Utilities weren't bad. Managed to get into a 1-bed unfurnished a block and 1/2 away from Ocean Beach for $350, one summer's month utility was less than $20. Got warm, opened windows, let ocean breeze blow through. Hardly had gas oven on, microwave was just getting into the spotlight.

[The Polack MSgt]

54. Why do you keep coming here with your nonsense

Hmm?

[Ocelot II]

2. It's forecast to be 58 in Minneapolis today. That's insane.

I don't even wear a jacket most of the time now. I wonder what summer will be like?

[lapfog_1]

3. that's the new normal

sigh

[Think. Again.]

10. No, there won't be any 'normal' anymore...

...not with the climate chaos we've allowed to happen.

[Delphinus]

33. Thank you

for stating that so clearly.

[Chi67]

5. Yuck

Our outdoor hockey league here in Chicago has been canceled the last three years because- well, we just don't have winter anymore. I hate climate change.

[niyad]

4. My area: last wed 60. thu 32/snow. fri 40 (snow gone). Sat50. Sun 62. Today 60.

tomorrow snow. crazy, yes, but typical here. My onions are coming up, my roses are leafing and budding, a friend's lilac tree has been budding for weeks. Pretty sure a major freeze in March or April will get them!

[Sanity Claws]

8. Seems like early April weather, not late Feb - early March

[chowder66]

9. The weather is nuts in Kansas City, MO

Monday 78/51
Tuesday 78/20!
Wednesday 43/27
Thursday 57/36
Friday 63/43
Saturday 77/57
Sunday 81/51!
Monday 65/38
Tuesday 59/33
Wednesday 61/38

[SWBTATTReg]

26. St. Louis too! They are calling for potential severe weather, so I hope that you don't get any in KCMO either.

[chowder66]

30. I'm not there but my Mom is.

I'm thinking that WeatherUnderground and that particular weather station is wonky.
The news there says it will be a low of around 50 tomorrow instead of 20.

There isn't severe weather coming other than cool weather coming from Canada on Wednesday.

Stay safe in St. Louis!!!

[SWBTATTReg]

31. Thanks! Of course I hope that your Mom and others are aok too. I don't expect anything severe, it seems

like this first wave of decent warm Spring weather has bought out the crazies in weather forecasting, you go on YouTube, there are dozens of want-to-be weather forecasters calling for potential severe weather in a block including STLMO (a big chunk of MO, not KCMO, plus points east of STLMO).

More than likely, this will be a bust, but still...I'm keeping my eye on the weather in the meantime. Supposedly supposed to start late tonight, continue on for the next couple of days.

[chowder66]

35. I'll be checking daily to see how far off things are. lol

I have to say today's forecast is pretty much on target.

It just changed. It's 78 right now in her area and it's supposed to drop to 49, then tomorrow they have 79 and now down to 19. That is a 60 degree drop.

[ecstatic]

50. 81? Wtf?

Lol.

[Think. Again.]

11. Just the beginning.

[Rebl2]

12. Today will

be 77in KCMO and 75 tomorrow midday, but then a radical drop in temperature during the afternoon and frozen precipitation tomorrow night. Can you say weather whiplash.

[chowder66]

32. Weatherunderground was saying tomorrow was going to be 79 with a low of 20

but I think that station is wonky. I watched the KCTV5 segment and it said it would drop down to about 50.

Freaked me out for a minute. I mean the highs are crazy for this time of year as it is!!

[Rebl2]

36. I think the low

will happen late in the day Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.

[chowder66]

38. That is going to be nuts if it drops 60 degrees.

I wish I was there right now. Coming from KCMO to L.A. I find the weather here boring. The only thing I don't miss is the heat with humidity.

[Rebl2]

41. We had a

meteorologist that worked here for many years that grew up in CA, and he said the same thing. Weather was boring growing up there. He went to meteorology school in OK and got a job in KC. He always said Midwest was the most difficult weather to predict and he enjoyed doing the weather here. He retired a couple of years ago and I still miss his weather reports and his personality as well as his love for our city.

[chowder66]

43. Ah it's nice to know there was someone who felt the same.

People usually look at me sideways when I say that out loud. Kansas City spoiled me with wind, rain, ice, sleet, snow and tornado warnings. Makes for exciting times!

[senseandsensibility]

44. What was his name?

Until fairly recently there was a popular meteorologist at our local ABC station here in San Francisco, but he left to go back to KC where he was from. I think his name was MIke Nicco, something like that. He was good.

[Rebl2]

45. Mike Nicco

is the meteorologist that replaced Gary Lezak -it’s an NBC affiliate. Mike Nicco has been great since he moved here to work. Yes he apparently lived here when he was young, not sure where. Maybe he just wanted to be closer to family that’s likely getting older.

[bluestarone]

13. 61 in North Dakotas today. THEN

8 degrees high Possible BLIZZARD tomorrow!!

[limbicnuminousity]

15. Is Spring already here?

It certainly feels like it. June-Sept is going to suck in parts of the country. Any place that experiences humid heat...ow.

[LeftInTX]

16. We're already in the high 80's down here. Forecast is for 89 today. Hot and humid Ugh.....

Highs are supposed to be in the low 70's and pleasant.
Oh and sudden one day cold front followed by 80 degrees.

[Polybius]

20. 89 hot and humid is perfect...

For July!

[LeftInTX]

21. I know.... I can just imagine July. 89 could be our lows...Ugh....

At least nights are still cool, but still.....

[Polybius]

22. I'm in NYC

The difference is that in the Summer, our nights don't cool much. We rarely hit above the high 90's, however.

[LeftInTX]

23. Nights don't cool in South Texas summers.

It's stifling for months....Nights are always above 75 degrees for months. It's very humid and hot.

[chowder66]

34. Yuk! You guys really went through the wringer with high heat over the summer and fall.

[Nittersing]

24. What about farmers trying to deal with this

I'm clueless about planting schedules, but this has to be a pretty big issue for them.

[yagotme]

56. Around here, it's usually April give or take when the equipment starts hitting the road.

Early warmth only affects the fruit trees normally, as they can begin to bud, and a late freeze kills the buds. A dry, warm early spring can result in crops getting in early, rain usually has more effect than temperatures later in season. Can't get seed out when you have a swamp for a field.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Same Here In NE Illinois

It might hit 75° tomorrow here. It's 71° right now.
Drops to a high of 34° on Wednesday that climbs back up to the 70s by next Sunday.
Chaotic weather systems will do that. Too much overall heat causes chaos.
Not sure why this is so hard for the deniers to understand.

[Model35mech]

39. USWS: Wisconsin will have weather typical of all 4 seasons this week

Tomorrow (Tues) it's to be like summer, in the 70's F, but by 6 am Wed, it will be 29 F (a bit cold for this late in Feb).

Then back to spring or mid-autumn weather on Thurs.

I'm thinking its gonna be a remarkable bit of cyclonic action, pulling in warm air as it arrives and then on passing bringing in the northern "Hawk".

At least the cold won't last long, the past month of mild has left me very spoiled

[ProfessorGAC]

40. You & Me Both

Since our golf course is open all year, we've played over 20 times already in '24!

[edisdead]

27. Riding my motorcycle today in Minneapolis, MN

This is scary.

[Johnny2X2X]

28. West Michigan here.

We had 10 days of Winter in January. It was 60 degrees on Xmas. We had 1 big snowstorm with cold temps and then just a couple other small snowfalls. That one big week of snow dropped 33 inches so it’s going to be misleading for the season snowfall total.

Never seen anything like this. Going to push 70 tomorrow before Summer like thunderstorms come through.

Last Winter was heavy for snow at 109” total, but it was still weird. It would drop 20 inches of snow in one day and then warm up to 55 the next week so it was constantly melting. Did that like 4 times.

[a kennedy]

29. Awesome for now, BUT does that mean 100's in June, July, and August???

I so hope not, I’m a 70’s temp girl.

[Baltimike]

37. It feels like Spring here in Baltimore...

I even bought some soil conditioner for the front gardens...

Gonna take advantage while I can

[vercetti2021]

42. Same here in Amarillo, TX

I wore shorts and a tank top today to work, fucking in February...I know its Texas and all, but normally it stays within 40s and 50s here during this time. Winter is going to go extinct soon.

[NickB79]

46. 65F today south of Minneapolis

My daughter and I just made s'mores over a bonfire in the backyard for dessert.

I have crocus flowers blooming.

[Demsrule86]

47. It was 61 today in Ohio in the Cleveland area and will hit the same temperature. tomorrow .

It is unbelievable. We have had snow only three times and not that bad...on Halloween, and a couple of weeks ago. We had some snow in early January I think and that is it!

[DemocraticPatriot]

48. The Groundhog wasn't lying...! I can live with that...

I recall a weekend sometime back, 2012 I think, where we had an 80-plus degree day here in Michigan, in early March...
That was nice.

[DFW]

49. Here in western Europe, it hasn't stopped raining for about 3 weeks

Meanwhile, about a 2 hour flight south of here in Spain, they had a drought so severe that much of their olive crop failed, and the price of olive oil went up so much that even the imported stuff, usually of inferior quality, but currently five times as expensive, is now kept behind locked display cases like you sometimes see in drug stores.

[Johnny2X2X]

52. Might hit 70 here today

It’s never hit 70 in February in Grand Rapids before in recorded history.

I realize El Nina and everything, but this Winter has been frightening in its mildness. And seasonal weather patterns can vary greatly, but it’s hard not to see global warming in this. Absolutely unprecedented Winter. Too many just 100 year events to recount.

Biggest tornado outbreak in state history this Summer.

Went to the UP in late September this year and it was almost 80.

It was 60 degrees on Christmas Day.

We had snow on the ground for like a few weeks total.

Just incredible. I always wanted to live in a place with milder Winters, guess I just had to wait instead of move. But the other consequences could be awful.

[The Polack MSgt]

55. I live in SW Illinois, near St Louis. It'll be 80F this afternoon and 18-20F by dawn

Insane all year.

It was seventy-ish 3 weeks ago, then we dropped to 3-10 degrees for 6 days straight.

[yagotme]

57. Well, if you live near the I-70 corridor, you're really screwed.

Weather just seems to track right along there usually. Have seen it sunny and clear 4 miles north if the interstate, and 20 miles south, storming to beat all.
