Coeur d'Alene Lake is Warming Early

May 10, 2013 - 3:20pm

Coeur d'Alene Lake is warming a little earlier than it has for the past two years when Ironman athletes dove into frigid waters barely breaking 50o. This year it looks like the CdA Ironman competitors will have a little easier time in the water with some warmer temperatures.

Last year's Ironmen experienced 57o water with the lake warming up from 53o over the course of two weeks. Today, with Ironman more than a month away, we already have lake temperatures greater than 55o.

A combination of factors have contributed to this, including early snow melt and warmer than usual temperatures over the past two weeks.

It has been several years since we've experienced such great weather so early in the year. Typically lake temperatures don't rise to these levels until late March, and daytime highs are only in the upper 60s to low 70s. While this month has been warmer than usual, it has not yet come close to breaking our record May temperatures. The record high for May in Coeur d'Alene was 98o, something we rarely see until July or August.

View Across McEuen Park on Sunday, March 3, 2013Can you feel Spring coming? Rain instead of snow, some beautiful sunny days, frost-free nights. Of course, Spring won't officially be here for another two weeks (March 20), but I don't think I'm alone in welcoming it a little early.
