That is a pretty random gust of 38 mph given all the other obs http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/zoa/getobext.php?sid=KMDW Was that an outflow? There were a couple of cells move through the area a little later and it happened later in the evening in IND's CWA. From NWSChat: "The TDWR capturing the outflow these storms have thrown out pretty nicely. Seeing 30-35mph winds in a narrow band with the outflow. Crawfordsville AWOS station supported that with a 34mph gust when it passed." BTW, IND got 89'd yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 39 for a low this morning. Summer returns later in the week. I'm enjoying it now, but come October it will be completely unacceptable. From midnight on last night the northern lights were out. I could see them dancing around from my bedroom window... no moonlight to interfere was nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Starting Wed it looks like we have a 5 day string of upper 80s to near 90 degree temps with dews in the 60s. Gonna feel more like July than late September. May get some rain this evening although the HRRR isn't too encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would've thought there would be a sharper change in wind direction that accompanied the gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is for sure... it will be on a diminishing trend as it heads north/east, whether it happens in time for your area or mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I noticed that the Chicago shoreline water temperatures have risen a few degrees in the past week. Goes to show what a dramatic flip in conditions will do, even with most of summer behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 18z RAP and 3 km NAM are a lot less hopeful for significant rain into my area. Wait and see I guess. It's easy to lean pessimistic when significant rain has been hard to come by.

Yeah radar is looking pretty meh. On the plus side just had a shower pass over and drop 0.01" Up to 0.02" for September lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring specific amounts, will it even get the corridor of better rains (basically I-80) correct? I'm not even sure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the radar loop it looks like some pretty respectable rains should fall from Peoria northeastward towards your area if trends continue. Nice area of rain with embedded thunderstorms coming out of west-central IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Tiny cell on the back end of the departing mass of precip just popped up at the perfect time to give us a good downpour that dropped 0.30" in about 5 minutes. 0.39" for the night now, so this ended up being a decent event after all. Should get the grass greening up and growing again. Feeling fairly fortunate here since other areas nearby got screwed tonight and will remain bone dry.

hawkeye_wx Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Only 0.08" here last evening... disappointing. I'm not really looking forward to a week of 80s/60s. I'd like to stick with 70s/50s, and my maturing beets would be better off with cooler temps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 71/67 Can't shank the mank. you think its going to clear up and it rolls back in. Leaves frequently falling and littering the lawn every day now. Could be a long raking/mulching season. Good for the VitD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 A few days ago, it was looking promising for a more active, wetter, pattern. Now, with Jose and Maria hanging out over the west Atlantic for the next week plus, much of the rain has been removed/pushed back west into the plains. This morning's GFS and euro suggest we may be lucky to get a half inch over the next ten days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
