Lightning

I just surpassed the entire month of September precipitation with one 20 minute shower on October 1st.

I agree. I just wish we could get a couple morning below freezing dabbled in so that the leaves are done before November. What's interesting about October, for me personally, I don't have any 'October's to remember' that really stick out for me. I.e. An October month that I would love to repeat. Yes there are some specific October events especially around Halloween. All other months I can think of at least one special month in each that I would love to repeat but not Octobers.

It is so dry here. I cut the lawn last Thursday for the first time in 3 weeks. It looks like I just cut it today. I will say it has been nice not to be concerned about much lawn maintenance!!

Rain total for September a whopping 0.4". I am one of the driest locations in Michigan

Misery loves company!! Unfortunately, even the 0.31" I got was so spread out it didn't help with dry conditions at all. October is looking to start off mild and dry here too.

Event total that past 3 days = 0.17". Might get a couple hundredth tonight but nothing more based on radar. Local bust for me but many areas did much better. September total = 0.31". Each model run seems to be trending drier and keeping this tropical system just south of here. Hoping it changes as I know the model do like to change but not counting on it. September may have been my best summer month of 2024 with countless sunny warm days. Of course I was only home maybe 4 weeks total all of June, July and August.

Wife is in Tampa and suppose to fly back on Friday. That's gonna be interesting!!

That's like a heavy dew

0.13" killed it here.

Awesome to someone getting great rain in Wisconsin and surrounding areas. Remnants moving into this area but not looking like anything all that exciting. Nice to see at least see a bit of rain. It has been a long time since I've seen anything like Madison got the past 24 hours. Congratulation Madison friends.

No rain here today. Next chance Sunday evening into Monday.

Some active storms around your parts today!!

Sadly when I was going through southern OH and West Virginia it is so much worse then here!!! Thankfully the models are showing some precip!! Though I must say I have been enjoying the extended nice weather days

Interesting that it says none for my area. Based on soil moisture, lake level, stream flow and the near by pond that I monitor (see it every day I walk the dog), it is more like D1 here. I know my area is drying than several of the surrounding areas as the last few systems missed/went around here by a couple miles. I willing bet that is why.

Drove through Columbus area last weekend on my way to Virginia Tech. It was definitely brutal from Columbus through West Virginia!!!

Models final hint at something more than dry and warm. Wouldn't surprise me to get a week or so of action to go right back to a dry and mild pattern. Of course it would surprise me if something else happens

Wow. Just drove the other day to Virginia Tech. Drought conditions just starting the past couple weeks IMBY. From Columbus OH to Blacksburg VA, the drought is crazy severe. Especially southern OH and West Virginia where trees are so stressed they are changing colors already with several trees dropping leaves.

Well the good part of this pattern is I don't need to cut the lawn anytime soon.

4 rounds of thunderstorms in less than 36 hours. Love it

Most people today lives their lives in A/C. 1988 I didn't have A/C and survived. 1988 I was in high school and my high school didn't have A/C. They never canceled classes and everyone survived there too. In fact I don't recall anyone even thinking twice about it. A/C is part of the problem and has created a ton of pansies!!!

I skipped one year and I agree!!! Doing it yearly works best. I normally have it done already but I was away over 7 weeks this summer. I need to get that planned!!

Nice round of storms this morning.

I like the sound of this!!

Now that we use Excess Heat Warnings commonly for heat waves. Maybe we should add another warning: Incineration Warning for temps above 100.

My family members in Waseca/Mankato areas don't mind the break.
