If the second half October ensembles, op GFS, CFS turn out as modeled, we got a real la Nina look on our hands in the 11+day. Drought cancel, Daddylonglegs?

I don't know about a widespread drought cancel, but certainly things might be boding well for us to avoid a bone dry winter. October rains don't portend precip patterns in the winter, but they certainly shouldn't hurt.

Looks like quite a bit of rain to fall here with this system. This area's about 11" down for the year, so even if we get 2-3" of rain it will only make a small dent in the deficit. Still will be nice to get a good soaking rain though.

Even though the rain will be nice, I was hoping it would hold off until late in the day as I have an appointment for the front tree (American Elm) to be heavily trimmed. It was severely damaged in a storm back in early August and needs to be dealt with. I didn't realize how bad it was until the other day when I noticed the huge crack in the trunk. Too bad as it has been a great/strong tree.

0z GFS north with the deformation band. DLL cashes in with rainfall amounts.

@Cyclone - looks like there might be something going on inside the tree - like some rot. I had a tree split in a similar fashion and it was due to some degradation inside the tree.

First band of precip associated with the storm moving through, been raining for a couple hours now. Vigorous eastward flow across the Rockies resulting in significant lee cyclogenesis, pressure drops of about 15 mb in the past 18 hours across the high plains. This is going to be the strongest mid-latitude cyclone in awhile for Wisconsin, but that isn't saying much considering the past few months.

I'm in Oxford ATM and I thought I saw a few flakes. Guess my eyes were correct.

Yes it was pretty cool and it's not a Surprise considering the moisture raced in quickly as the cold air was locked in place. I thought it was possible to see more snow mixed in.

I'm glad someone else can confirm with me. LOL.

Update on tomorrow's wind potential. It still looks windy. 12z NAM/GFS both have a period where non-convective gusts in excess of 55 mph would be possible in the area. Smart play for now would be to keep things a bit conservative but potential is there especially if we get any breaks.

12z NAM has an interesting little wind max near/just south of the surface low. I'm not sure if it's legit or not but something to watch on future runs.

0.55" so far here. Was real dark and rainy all morning. Looks like the rain's pretty much over for awhile, until the remnant convection reaches us later tonight.

As Hoosier pointed out the NAM and the 4km NAM both show a small high wind maximum right behind the strengthening surface low tomorrow. Should be interesting to see how that evolves.
