Visibility measures the distance at which an object can be clearly seen. Read more about how wind will affect you at the beach. The number is the average wind speed.īeware of offshore winds if you are using inflatables, paddle boards or kayaks. If the arrow points from land to sea, the wind will be blowing out to sea (‘offshore’). The arrow shows the direction of the wind (up is north). The number represents the average wind speed expected at that time. The letters show the direction the wind is blowing from (on a standard 16-point compass).
The arrow shows the direction the wind is blowing. Strong winds are shown in bold for speeds of 29 mph or more. Wind gust shows the highest wind speed that you should encounter at that time, as winds peak and lull. This gives you a better idea of how the temperature will actually feel at the time. You can see the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit by using the dropdown menu.įeels like temperature considers other factors, such as wind speed and humidity. This number shows the air temperature for the time period. The implication is next week’s active pattern is likely to spill over into the following week.Chance of precipitation represents how likely it is that rain (or other types of precipitation, such as sleet, snow, hail and drizzle) will fall from the sky at a certain time. Colder air is likely to lock in that system’s wake maintaining the same sort of active jet stream across the region. The potential appears to be there for a wintry mix as it looks now-but critical details on the system’s structure remain to be worked out in the 4-5 days before it arrives. Just what form the precip takes when it arrive Wednesday will be interesting to monitor. The huge north/south temp spread sets up a powerful jet stream which sweeps from west to east across the country and gives rise to the development of a huge late winter storm season in the Wed/Thu time frame.Ĭhicago sits straddles the boundary between warm and cold air and is likely to get in on the storm’s expansive precipitation shield and its likely strong wind field from the ENE which will start to come into play here Tuesday night. At the same time, WARM TEMPS are to occur across the South. It’s one in which frigid arctic air takes up residence the length of the Lower 48 along and south of the Canadian border. I’ve mentioned the pattern taking shape by the middle and end of next continuing into the week which follows. LONGER RANGE: Temps cool modestly Monday and Tuesday next week though both day’s average temps are to still come in more than 5-deg above normal. The Saturday/Sunday high temps are to come in 7 to 15-deg above normal-with highs more typical of mid and late March than mid February. Sunday looks even milder with a high topping 50-deg a good bet. Saturday will see a 15 to 20-deg increase over today as gusty SW winds import milder Pacific air amid a good deal of sunshine. The good news heading into the coming weekend is TEMPS ARE TO BOUNCE BACK to the month’s dominant ABOVE NORMAL WAYS.
Chicagoans shivered through the first BELOW NORMAL DAY in 2 weeks and the 2 nd COLDEST DAY OF FEBRUARY with this day’s high of 26 (normal high for Feb 17 is 36-10-deg warmer).Ĭold like this hits hard in a month which has posted a 5-deg surplus and in which 13 of the past 17 days have come in ABOVE NORMAL and a year to date which, despite a few sharp cold blasts have seen nearly 80% of days come in MILDER THAN NORMAL.
