Powerball Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 No thunder here, but getting nice rotating low clouds. Also got a heavy downpour and gusty winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Clear skies and 44° in the far north burbs currently. Point lowered down to 38°. Had quite a few leaves flying through the air today. Peak color right around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxDanny Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Tree in front of my house changed colors rapidly. Greenish/yellow to bright orange in 7 days. Cleared out nicely tonight with brisk temperatures. Might be a good day or night for a bonfire tomorrow! Just got home from the meet and greet and anxious to dig into the 0z model blend and see just what trick or treat nature has in store for us this week.

harrisale Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Pretty solid thunderstorm last night as the cold front passed. Three pretty big lightning flashes followed by long claps of thunder. Had heavy rain for about 15 minutes for a good 0.25" rain. Storm total 0.41". We'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Looks like some patchy frost again tonight, with mid 30s in the point. Made it down to 35 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I absolutely love the avatar. Really loud owl hooting out in the backyard the last 10 minutes. Haven't heard one around here in a long time. Temp down to 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 made it down to 23 early before rising to 29 currently with clouds and precip moving in.... wet day in store, only climbing to low 40's again today. A fairly wet and unsettled week with even a shot at some snow. for the month running pretty close to average temp wise...+ 0.3 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Still have flowers blooming here...although i'd say 50% of the trees have no leaves now. Euro shows typhoon winds Thursday followed but more mild air. I think i've ran my furnace 4 times this month! very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Have ran my furnace about 5x I believe. Can't complain about the lack of nice days this month. Today was pretty nice until mid level clouds streamed in. 58°/35° for the day. Going to lose a lot of color by late Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Brutal this morning between the cold temps and wind. Raw, miserable day. Fireplace going to be cranked all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sokolow Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Brutal this morning between the cold temps and wind. Raw, miserable day. Fireplace going to be cranked all day.Whipping wind and pissy drizzle. A few minutes of mocking sun. Utterly uncomfortable pair of days. Was surprised at how cold it felt.

Powerball Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The majority of the yellow / brown below will probably disappear again in the next update, but it's interesting to note either way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 An early winter feeling day today. Wind whipped more leaves off the trees and piled them up in little leaf drifts. Almost noticed a minute or two of partial sun. Some people were acting like it was the middle of winter today! Did have to break out the light winter jacket though myself. With the predicted temps the next two days, the month should end up being about 1.1° above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I had leaf drifts too Geos! Lol... Hoping for decent weather for the trick or treaters...even if it is a bit chilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Noticed the RPM holds rain over the area all afternoon tomorrow. Unfortunately the trick o'treating is before 6pm here and many other suburbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Had some really dense fog early this morning. Hung on to some degree through late morning before totally burning away. During the afternoon the high canopy slowly increased and thickened. The rain should move in by around midnight. Looks like another nice, steady rain event that should last 12-16hrs.

Spartman Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Only reached 49 due to observations only showing wall-to-wall cloudy skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Reached 55° after a low of 32° this morning. Had some sun this afternoon. Now clouded up pretty good again as the rain shield approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Terrible timing on the rain last night and this morning. Very difficult to mulch soaked leaves. Hope they dry out some later today, otherwise this weekend is a bust for yard work. Not many weekends left to get stuff done outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Feel bad for Trick-or-treaters. 3rd straight Halloween here with rain. In 2013 it POURED all day and night (record for the date), last year wind-whipped rain mixed with snow during the evening, and this year rain looks to develop right around 4pm and last through the night.

Hope they dry out some later today, otherwise this weekend is a bust for yard work. Not many weekends left to get stuff done outside. I hear you. I mulch and burn some. Also not good timing with trick o'treating starting in a couple hours. Everything is well soaked outside. Been raining since 4am. Will be able to at least rake the leaves into piles tomorrow.

hawkeye_wx Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Picked up about 0.40" of rain overnight and this morning, right in line with model predictions. That will put my October total at about 3.7", all in the last ten days. Next week's warmth will be a nice break from the rainy pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 48, rain, and misery. Wish I was inside today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 About 0.40" so far today. It's not making it out of the 40s today. Last Halloween it looked like this in my front yard... in the morning at least. Trees today are a little behind last year - probably 5 or so days behind.
