We have an advisory out. Its less than 1/2 mile in spots but mostly less than a mile. Winds from the ocean still? Front didn't move? Haven't checked much

The sun is fighting to come out, it got very bright outside and I caught a glimpse of it, but that didn't last long. We have another dense fog advisory in place until tonight, so I don't think the skies will be clearing until then.

But at least it isn't cold.

Check it out... Inversion big time.

Temps aloft (4500') in the 60s the surface struggled past 40s most of today in CT, RI, & MA.

Back edge of clouds now entering central PA. Gees. Look at Bridgeport, 42° at 3pm!?! Gees.



Unlike yesterday where the winds were coming off the cold waters from the NE, today its coming from the south but the waters are still cold enough. Plus the clouds (and maybe moisture) keeping surface temps cool.

Nice and sunny in Ohio

Just heard a rumble of thunder from a storm that popped up out of nowhere 20 miles away. Not heading in this direction, though.

Warm front pushed on shore about 20-30 miles east of here, and then it went right back out into the ocean.

Further up north, look at the profile on Mt. Washington. Cold air pooled at the bottom.

On the summit, temperatures were stuck at around 25°F till sunrise then shot up to around 42°F just before noon and stayed around there since.

Cool! I like that profile. Some reason I knew you would post that after I posted the warm 850 temps.

Radar & Satellite loop last 14hrs. April 10th

You can see its going to clear tonight. Awesome weekend ahead..



Take note of snow that fell in northern MI. 8.6" of snow fell today at Marquette and is a daily record. 175" for the season!

High was 62F/17C at ORD and 65F/18C at MDW today in Chicago

My suburb reached 66F/19C

At Islip, the latest first occurrence of 60F was April 12, 1984.

If we can fail to reach it tomorrow, then it'll be a new record.

*fingers crossed*

Forecasts say 58F but with a 55 degree sun angle they can easily underestimate.

Undoubtedly we will hit 60F on Saturday.
