Temperature is in the mid to upper 50’s in the Indianapolis metro area as of noon local time, I predict highs today might reach the lower 60’s or so late this afternoon, more rainfall is also in the forecast starting late tonight through Thursday, high temperatures will also likely be in the 50’s tomorrow, so it looks like this February will go down in the record books as warmer than normal in Indianapolis as well as the wettest February since 2011.
We blew out the record books with the hottest Feb ever.
A more or less permanent Monster ridge has been in place over Florida and coastal Georgia/Carolinas since roughly new years of 2010/11 with few exceptions. I was in Central Florida for Christmas week in 2013, 2015, and 2016 and each time is was close to 90 degrees when the normals are in the low 70s for highs. 2015 especially was brutal in terms of heat.
Nice summary. yeah, those clouds were pesky yesterday and didn't clear for me. Sun came through a few times but remained 90% cloudy till after sunset. Now finally a big High is over us and we'll have sunny skies and continued above normal temps. I just want sun at this point! No wonder why everyone lacks Vitamin D in this region. Like we live in a cave sometimes.
That 'NorEaster' is interesting to track. We haven't had a storm stall off the coast in years I believe. We should start feeling the effect starting Thursday night than ramping up Friday afternoon. That's if it stays close enough.
Whoa! So cool you been keeping track all this time. Did you know you can click the header in your daily reports with CoCo and sort the columns? Easy to see what your highest daily rainfall was. Mine was 3.75" Oct 30, 2017
It's been 19 days since Seattle had an above normal max temp now. (Feb 8th was last time)
Feb 18th Phoenix was slightly above normal so it broke up the streak but interesting to see both you guys continued below normal.
Current temps and upper level flow. It's like the Jet stream is stuck dipping out west. Thank the SouthEast ridge for that as well. Now a cut off Upper Low over California!
Great pattern for California to see a cut off low parked over them. Thunder hail in Sacramento producing several inches of hail that was enough to build a snowman out of hail, but under mild temps in the 50's not in the 30's like a normal snowstorm. Also the moisture content of hail is much higher than snow so good news to moisten it up out there.
SF will be seeing rain the next 5 of 8 days, LA rain the next 2 of 4. So what started as a lackluster rainy season in California is beginning to turn around. Effectively they only have March and April left before the dry season begins so they need to keep accumulating this later winter rainfall.
