    Sunny 7.5C.
    Some rain blowing through at times.

    Cold wind!


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,724 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    it's cold here, 4 degrees celsius, and it's currently raining.

    i wonder will this rain fall as sleet or snow further north and to the east?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭arctictree


    Interesting current scenario.

    Heavy squall line approaching the east :

    Temps here are dropping - currently 3.9c. If those showers hit the wicklow mountains, we could have another snow covering....

    Without a doubt artictree-whats your dewpoint?
    That looks like a nasty little spell in about 2 hrs or so.

    My dewpoint is currently -0.6c

    It will be interesting to see if that hits. Generally those westerly squalls dissipate by the time they reach here....

    Its southern flank seems to be growing a little bit in intensity though.
    It should be quite wintry up your direction on arrival with stats like that!

    Which is my feeling, though it seems to be holding its own for now. The mountains will take a bit of intensity out of it as well.

    Just had the warmest point of the day, temp fallin back slightly to 5.6°C as cloud overhead is breaking up. If the wind dies down could get pretty cool.
    Last night I got bugger all sleep - the noise of the wind in the forest was simply incredible.

    Record highs expected for this time of year in central Illinois, right now about 19C. Partly cloudy and chance of some thunderstorms later.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,669 ✭✭✭Darwin


    That's positively sultry Ruu - can we have some of that heat please :( More severe wind on the way here tomorrow night


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,359 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Interesting conditions according to our stations in roughly a straight line from here to the coast (west - east) :-

    Myself @ 204 Metres ~ 9 Miles from the sea 4.9°C
    Arctictree @ 250 Metres~ 4 Miles from the sea 2.8°C
    Mothman @ 12 Metres ~ 1 Mile from the sea 4.8°C

    Its windy so not likely that that warm air is trapped in the housing of my Vantage.

    Interesting local variances.
