cyclone77 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Another evening with a nice light show. This time to the northwest. Good to see we're kicking off the cool season right with a very interesting, dynamic powerhouse storm system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 As I type this a wall of rain just commenced. Seriously sounded like a tidal wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That activity heading out of Iowa shows some promise at coming this way later tonight. Otherwise just a breezy, humid night. Quite a temperature difference across the northern suburbs tomorrow. ... and the Quad Cities metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think mid December to early Feb will feature a major -NAO. As far as the near term, don't panic. Massive torch. Flooding in South Dakota? It's way to early for snow weenies to panic. Upper 80s in Wisconsin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Nice Friv - I say save the coldest stuff for beyond Halloween. Don't mind 70s in October, but 80s are a bit much. Just had a quick pop up shower. Storm moving into Stephenson County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The cluster of strong storms that has traversed southeast Iowa all evening is crapping the bed now as they approach the QC. Looks like the stuff out in western Iowa will eventually pass north of this area later in the night. This should set us up for a very warm and humid day with temps possibly approaching 90 later in the day if all goes well. Temps pushing 90 with dews between 65-70 is very rare for October in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There will always be some cold and snow. Even 2011-12 had something. Even tho it wasn't much. It was something. But I feel another 2010-2011 coming on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I am thinkiintg we get a 2-3 week PV in Southern Canada to around the Hudson in late Dec-Jan. But also Pacific torching around that. But heavy winter during the best solar winter period. Like Dec 20th to Feb 10th. We will see. Sibera is running wild. We will continue to go below normal snow cover. But Siberia is getting rocked. Way South That is China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan. To the South of Russia. I am sure Russians are tired of this weather.

hawkeye_wx Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Picked up 0.65" of rain from a nice storm this morning that tracked just far enough south to catch CR. More storms are moving into the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 67/64 currently at 822AM in October, really incredible stuff. We bottomed out at 65 overnight, which is 1 degree below our average high for the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still gonna be a very springlike day with dews pushing 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Real nice rain across the area this morning. The second round of strong storms just missed me south, but I still managed 0.97" total. The CR airport got 2.04". 3" fell just sw of CR along with some large hail. I'm not sure how warm we'll be able to get with the rain and clouds hanging on through midday. Of course, if the front remains a bit farther south perhaps I'll get more good storms later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There will always be some cold and snow. Even 2011-12 had something. Even tho it wasn't much. It was something. But I feel another 2010-2011 coming on. 2010-2011 Met winter was only 1 degree warmer than 08-09, which defined an amazing winter in Michigan.

cyclone77 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Very dark inside the house with the approach of the storm complex. Temps have stalled out in the low 70s. Storms are holding together so far, but still have a ways to go to reach here. Don't think we'll be breaking 80 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The map he showed indicated mainly cold and dry for the Midwest. Pass on that. At least the trough isn't centered on the East Coast either. I'd take another 10-11 winter again! Don't think I'll break 75° today. Wish the cold front was going through tonight. This humidity has got to go!

Wish the cold front was going through tonight. This humidity has got to go! I remember 2008-2009 being under a watch while a warning was in place at one time. "Storm A" and "Storm B" for reference. Having 08-09 and 10-11 really close to 11-12 was a real shocker. 2011-2012 was the worst winter of my lifetime, while 08-09 was the best one. Here was the CPC outlook for 2008-2009 FAIL. OK, Back on topic... That's my last winter post in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yeah I remember that Jonger - watch and different warning at one time! I think that was in December. Had the big lake effect snow event for Christmas and the Blizzard right before my birthday. Couldn't have asked for a better winter, imo. Ok, back on track. Before that winter the October was mild. +3.5°. Big slug of rain and t-storms making there way across northern IL. Looks wet after 2pm or so.

Jonger Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Pattern looks to stay mild for some time. Yea, its a big bummer... Typically this is one of my favorite times of the year too. 65 and low humidity is hard to top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, many of the epic winters had warm Octobers and even Novembers. I just hope winter doesn't wait until mid or late December again to set in (in terms of the first decent wintry system).
