turtlehurricane Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Things barely cooled off last night due to the constant southerly winds, low of 58° F at MSN, so it probably never dropped below 60° F downtown. Dewpoint has risen to 55° F and the high is supposed to be well over 80 today. A little too warm for this time of year, gonna have to have the AC going most of the day.

michsnowfreak Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 This clear weather with large diurnal swings is probably helping, but Ive noticed fall color just exploding.

TheWeatherPimp Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 WREX reporting a large grass fire in Northern Illinois.

Chambana Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm not surprised at all by the fire threat, here in central illinois i's still pretty bone dry (regardless of a semi wet september). I was just telling someone earlier, October isgoing to be a VERY dry month, the extended 7-10 forecast show's not a lick of precip. The heat looks to stick around until around the 13th, heck today we reached 87 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Windy and warm today. Hit 83. This has been one of the best stretches of weather I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruePatriot Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The record high of 85 degrees was tied at Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport today. The high also reached 85 degrees on October 7th in 1997 and 2003. The normal high for October 7th is 62 degrees. This is the 6th day in a row that the high temperature has been at or above 80 degrees in the Twin Cities. This is the longest streak of 80 degree days in the Twin Cities in October since 1953. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=mpx&storyid=73846&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hard to believe just 2 years ago on Oct 10th we had our first flurries. I believe Omaha picked up over 5 inches. That was on a Saturday. Tomorrow we'll see temps in the mid 80s. Never know what you're gonna get in October lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The return of true fall weather is in sight. I can't say I dislike 70s in October, or any time of the year with low humidity, but late fall with crisp, cool nights and the ubiquitous wood-burning smell is great. It's particularly great the last several years as my enjoyment of winter storms has increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 First snowstorm of the year out on the plains is underway, albeit the very highest part of the plains just before the front range. Denver and Cheyenne are getting snow, 5-8" of snow towards Laramie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 2nd day in a row with the highest temp. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
