Chicago WX Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It could always be worse. Think back to what we had in the first week of October 2007. That was bad indeed. Great winter followed though. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Looks like we could make a run toward 80 by the end of next week/weekend. I will gladly take that, perfect golf weather for October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The upcoming warm pattern isn't surprising considering the very cool September we just had. Should be some fantastic weather for at least the first half of the month. By the time the shoe drops again and we get into a colder pattern some of us could pick up the first flakes. So basically exactly what Stebo mentioned earlier today lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just curious, where are you heading for vacation? I will be doing as much fishing as possible between now and the middle of Nov. As soon as the weather turns cooler around here, the fishing turns on. Eight days of below normal temps and rain on 7 of those days have really cooled the water temps. Sorry I was away when you posted this and missed it until I was looking back on what I missed just now.. Me and the wife will be staying home next week outside of a few day road trips.. Yeah fishing will be heating up as they put the feedbag on.. We were up north a couple weeks back now and the fishing was real slow for us from shore. I swear we almost tried every boat launch and fishing pier in Vilas and Oneida county and all we were able to scrap together after pounding it out for 5 days str8 was about 20 keeper panfish for the fry pan. Tons of stunted Green Carp (large mouth bass) were cooperative though. Its amazing how the Bass have exploded up north in the past 10 yrs. Between the big cold front before we got up there, the 50's and rain/wind and a lot of the smaller lakes just starting to turnover it was tough to say the least for shore fishing.. The one day it was sunny and we rented a boat for the late afternoon/evening we still almost got skunked lol.. Pretty much done fishing until frozen water except I would really like to hit the clements fishing barge on the Mississippi next week one day and will be hitting up a few of the Lake Michigan fishing tributaries for the fall run if the water stays fishable.. Not looking good with no rain in the forecast for some time... Good Luck to you fishing this fall and let me know how you make out if you want! Looking like a big torch like last oct at least through mid month. Beautiful lake breeze and low 60's here while it's upper 70's and into the 80's in Northern WI and Northern MN. On Fireeeee, literally again maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After coming from a very wet September, makes it more handable. Last year, the fall was very dry and ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Have to love the diurnal temperature ranges this time of year. 39 degrees yesterday at LAF (76/37). Some better ones last October: 77/37, 82/40, 87/45. And also as it is this time of year, LAF in the running for the highest temp in the state every day. Only HUF's 77 beat us yesterday and tied with EVV on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Just an inferno and dry as a popcorn fart in parts of Iowa and MN - hopefully no big fires break out except maybe one at the Dump Of America Field. Nice lake breeze and 60's again to escape day 2 of the torch. 1or 2 more nights of real comfortable sleeping weather until we're back in 10-15+ temp departures at night and the AC ripping. I know when this long torchartie is over I'll def be ready to say bye bye to this kind of extended period of heat until next june hopefully.

Eh, I know what you mean. AC probably goes back on here tomorrow. Awful. Dang, I'll be lucky to break upper 80's lol What's your average score?
