Nice to see a widespread event again. Winds are pushing 50mph the last hour or so. MLI has hit 47mph, DVN 48mph.
-
I love it, sounds like a winter storm out there lol. Been getting gusts between 30-40mph the past hour or so. High-res shows the strongest winds a little later this evening, and then strong northerlies late night after the low passes by. Up to 0.80" for the day.
-
Already 0.40" here with a long way to go. Looks like some heavy downpours possible later this afternoon and especially this evening. Looks like 2-2.5" is in the bag. High-res models show 40-50mph gust potential this evening which seems reasonable given convective elements traversing the area mixing down some of the higher winds just off the surface. EDIT: Ended up bottoming out at 28 yesterday morning, which is close to a hard freeze. We were only under a frost advisory lol.
-
First freeze here with a temp of 29 so far. Still time to drop further so hard freeze not off the table.
-
Sunday is gonna be a great day to sit inside and watch football and listen to the cold rain beat against the eastern windows. Good chance temps fail to get out of the 40s for most of the day, and 1-2" of icy cold rain still looking likely. Great day for a slow cooking batch of chili in the ol' crock pot.
-
Heard a couple rumbles of thunder as a developing line of showers/storms just rolled through. Had a few brief periods of very large rain drops sprinkling down. Picked up 0.01". The system coming in on Sunday would be a really nice snow event if it were about a month or so later. Looks like a cold driving rain on the way, with strong easterly surface flow.

Wicked ass dendrites?
-
Temps overachieving here, down to 34 degrees so far. First frost in the books, albeit patchy.
-
First 30s on the way tonight/tomorrow night. Patchy frost is possible. 3 years ago today we had the first measurable snow.
-
Yeah this has been great. Picked up another 1.02" of rain today, bringing October to 4.64". Planted a new Jane magnolia tree, and a green giant arborvitae back on Oct 3rd, so I'm giving them credit for changing our luck lol.
-
Nice soaking to be sure. Finished with a 2-day total of 1.87" here. Wednesday it looks like the arc of convection will be slowly crapping the bed as it traverses Iowa, so not expecting much with that system for this area.
-
Up to 1.30" for the day, 1.74" since yesterday. Pretty muggy out there with mid 60 dews. Severe threat seems meager for the QC. Best shot looks in their southeastern cwa.
-
Nice soaking downpours with some loud boomers this morning. Already at 0.86" and climbing fast.
-
I plan on viewing one or two from my front porch.
-
Picked up 0.44" today, with a few brief downpours and some thunder.
-
Looking forward to another soaker on Monday. Grass has actually started growing again lol. We're up to 1.75" for October which is well over double what we got in all of September. Haven't fired up the furnace yet this season, maybe next weekend as overnight temps may dip well into the 40s.
-
Picked up 0.78" of much needed rain this morning. EDIT: Additional showers this eve brought the daily total up to 0.96".
-
And September felt like another August, at least most of the time.
-
Dews look to mostly hold in the low to mid 60s all the way through next Wednesday or Thursday. They've already been at that level for several days. Pretty impressive/unusual for October.
-
Yeah have seen a lot of dead/dying ash trees around here as well the past few years. The neighbors next door lost theirs this year. The sugar maples are turning pretty nicely already out this way. The one I planted last fall is starting to show color as well. Ended up getting hit by a tiny isolated thunderstorm last evening, dropped a quick 0.36" which was great to see.
-
Picked up 0.03" earlier.

Latest October 2021 outlook
-
Yeah once the snows shut off in mid Feb this has been the most mundane stretch of weather I can remember. I think we've more than paid for the derecho by now, and even have a little weather karma building back up now lol.
-
Let's get this warm period out of the way now so we can have our 30" December to remember.
-
Looks like MLI and DVN both 89'd again today, made it to 88 here.
