Chicago WX Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=73152&source=0 The Most Daily Rainfall in Nearly 3 Months The Indianapolis airport received the most rainfall for a calendar day in nearly three months. From 1 am to 7am EDT the Indianapolis airport measured 1.05 inches of rainfall. This is the most rainfall the airport has received in a single calendar day since 2.03 inches fell on June 20. Significant rainfall was not limited to the airport. Much of Marion County received over an inch of rainfall while dry areas of southwest Indiana picked up as much as 2 inches. Additional rainfall is expected today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 September 2011 could have been skipped for all I care. September might be in the running for my least favorite weather month. Typically boring outside the years that some tropical remnants move through, but that's kind of random. At least this one hasn't been a scorcher like the last 4...

SpartyOn Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 September 2011 could have been skipped for all I care. October should and hopefully will be active.

SpartyOn Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Not a huge fan of Wikipedia but this is a great write up on "Aphid" . The October 12th/13th LES storm that crushed Buffalo NY. Loved reading how the squalls went very vertical and 20k cloud tops with lightning was present. http://en.wikipedia....orm_%22Aphid%22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Up to 1.23" at IND for the day, through noon. Let's see if they can beat July and August's combined rainfall of 1.58". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 There will likely be several more opportunities for rain before the month ends, but as it stands now this is the 2nd driest September on record for Chicago. 1. 0.01" - 1979 2. 0.12" - 2011 3. 0.26" - 2004 4. 0.31" - 1940 5. 0.32" - 1891 6. 0.46" - 1956 7. 0.49" - 1939 8. 0.74" - 1871 9. 0.77" - 1962 10. 0.83" - 1954 Down to 9th now... 1. 0.01" - 1979 2. 0.26" - 2004 3. 0.31" - 1940 4. 0.32" - 1891 5. 0.46" - 1956 6. 0.49" - 1939 7. 0.74" - 1871 8. 0.77" - 1962 9. 0.79" - 2011 10. 0.83" - 1954 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yes 10 years and at your Bears call!

Thundersnow12 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 look at the cut-off low over the GL in the medium-range. where to we sign up to get the jet back south for some fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September has a tendency of being quite dull. Seems to be an intervening month where convective episodes are on the decline while the polar jet hasn't shifted south enough to setup any synoptic storms.

Let's see if they can beat July and August's combined rainfall of 1.58". 1.46" through 2PM. Looks like some development to their west... 1.53" through 5PM...and heavy rain reported after the top of the hour ob (0.09" so far). Looks like they've done it. One day to essentially equal/better two full months of rain (dry months obviously). Weather is funny sometimes. EDIT: 1.88" for the day through 6PM.

cyclone77 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Had about a half inch of rain between yesterday and this morning. It was overcast, drizzly and gloomy all morning, and then it very quickly cleared off early in the afternoon. Turned out to be a perfect afternoon.

Thundersnow12 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Not a big fan of this September pattern. Way to easy and free. These type of pattern however, love to turn "hot" at some point, which nobody wants, as the equitorial fall begins. me either, but id rather get it out of the way now then in January.

snowstormcanuck Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yesterday's models were much more progressive with the D2-3 mid level trough digging into the Plains/MW. Now they seem to want to cut it off in the OV. Latter scenario would certainly make the next week or so a little more interesting than it looked just 24 hours ago.

baroclinic_instability Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 me either, but id rather get it out of the way now then in January. There is a heckuva impressive cyclone tomorrow across the northern plains featuring 60-65 MPH winds and you talk of boring weather. I guess I just don't get it.

I guess I just don't get it. In this world it's about what's happening IYBY. Regardless, I agree I'm semi-interested in the system in the Northern Plains that could create some storms in N Minnesota and N Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just don't get it. All about the iyby. I'll be completely honest. Except for something truly exceptional, like the 2010 (or was it 09?) Octobomb, I find it very difficult to get too excited about weather that's not affecting me directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Picked up 1.26" imby today (DTW had 1.81"). Cannot BELIEVE what a wet, stormy year it has been from the getgo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yes this is impressive and very cool and already looks impressive on WV/IR Holy crap! That is impressive. I think sometimes when the weather pattern is benign in our own backyards we have a tendency to pay less attention to weather in general, and thus miss out on other excitement around the country. I think that mostly applies to those of us who aren't in the profession on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 That was definitely a great contest. I probably wouldn't do so great at this time, but some of you guys did quite well.
