turtlehurricane Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Looks like the cooldown is finally going to come wednesday/thursday. We might squeeze out one more 80° F day today. Gonna be a horrible change going from this weather to cold and wet. No sign of any frozen precip with this system either, just too warm of a cold air mass. Might get 30s and rain though at some point if we're lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I think I've figured it out. We tend to outdo other places on days when the airmass across the state is basically the same (no fronts) with lots of sun. Or the stupid thermometer has a warm bias. But yes you're probably right. Though I will say it tends not to be as "warm" during the summer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Probably way too far out in fantasyland to be worth a mention, but the 12z GFS has a system of note about 12 days out, with the critical thicknesses stretching down towards the Ohio Valley. More realistically, we'll probably have to wait until November for a system like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Sorry, as I know the majority here love the endless 80's and sunshine, but I'll be kind of glad to shake things up with some "weather" somewhere in the late Wed through Fri timeframe.

snowstormcanuck Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Ugh, just hit 80 here. I can take the 70s in October, but 80 or warmer is too much. At least we got the Indian summer out of the way early in the month. Hopefully no redux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 This weather has been perfect. As far as I'm concerned, it could never rain again and be like this every single day from now on. Snow doesn't hold a candle to this weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Despite this mild weather, the fall color has exploded faster than I can ever remember. The foliage network even commented on 10/8, "Many of our spotters in Michigan and Wisconsin have reported a sudden explosion of color! In fact, a few have noted that they've never seen anything like this." Took some pics around town today, posted more in the fall color thread. Cant wait to do some state park hiking next week, hopefully with cooler weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I can attest to the foliage explosion of late. The trees were green on Monday, now at least one is almost bare already. I take it this is abnormally early for NW Indiana? In SE PA we don't usually peak until Halloween or so, sometimes the first week of November.

Theres a rumor when trees drop their leaves early, winter is mild and when trees hang on to their leaves late, winter is cold and snowy. Hmmm, last few winters leaf pickup had to be extended because of late dropping. They were still doing leaf pickup Thanksgiving week ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Im curious why you went with a warm prediction for last year, if you knew the leaves were dropping late why didnt you predict a cold winter? Seems a bit contradictory.
