I may be paranoid, but the complete lack of precip through most of the period concerns me. Not really in the mood for drought conditions to expand into E IA. Although September usually seems fairly dry, so maybe climo will mitigate some of the effects of this dryer spell. Kind of sucks tomorrow's action skips right over us and hits to the east lol.

Chambana Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 After a brief warmup, after Monday below normal temps and lows in the upper 40’s. I love it. However I’m afraid to spend the cold supply so early in the season, seems like an eternity we’ve had a September start out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even at face value this one isn't too bad. Considering the forward speed of the storms too, could be a good wind day tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We received 1.25" of rain in August, and may not get any during the first half of September. Last year I recorded 7.17" in August and 7.16" in September. I'm hoping this means winter will also be the opposite of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yeah other than the action in the eastern sub today the weather looks very dull for the foreseeable future. At least there's Irma to watch I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It's interesting to see DTW report cloudy skies under all of the smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 A smoke plume shooting in from the west has combined with clouds to make it quite dark here, with eerie, storm-like lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thick wildfire smoke definitely made for a darker day, especially when combined with the cloud deck earlier.Smoke never visibly made it to the surface, but the odor was present across the area from time to time. Nice red/orange around the sun for a while as well, though it's too thick for a nice sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 A nice red/orange moon tonight, with the smoke still hanging around aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so wild, we ended up calling it a cloud layer at DTW because it is so thick up there covering the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Didn't notice any darkness or cover from the smoke during the day yesterday, but after the storms rolled through here overnight, there is a heavy and strong smoke smell outside this morning. I don't recall such a strong odor from smoke/wildfires before around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvsnow Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Acrid smell of smoke definitely in the air this morning (Tuesday) in the Dayton area. In fact a black, feathery piece of ash dropped into our pool as I was cleaning it. The sky is an eerie yellow orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I haven't heard this used in a long time: Main trough over the area Wednesday along with several smaller scale short waves and lake enhancement. This should keep scattered to numerous showers across the northwest in the morning with slow expansion east away from lake as trough slides east along with diurnal heating. Steep mid level lapse rates and a few hundred J/kg of instability will be enough to support a few stronger updrafts and thunder potential. 500mb temps drop to -23C with surface dewpoints in the lower 50s. This brings old school but reliable 50/20 rule into play which would support up to three quarter inch hail with any thunderstorm. Brief heavy downpours also possible as these early season lake enhanced events with strong synoptic influence often produce some efficient rainfall rates. With thermal trough in place and expected mostly cloudy skies...temperatures will be slow to moderate during the day and may struggle to reach 60 in some locations.

Hoosier Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 12z GFS went back to a solution of driving Irma's remnants well westward. The best chances for seeing something will be in the Ohio Valley/eastern areas but even that is not quite set in stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see this "cold shot" being that extreme now that the NAO is shifting to positive. It just wouldn't make sense to see a cool September this year unless teleconnections don't matter anymore. On 8/29/2017 at 11:41 AM, scud said: September will be warm...

Chambana Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Last few mornings have been spent in the mid to upper 40’s definitely chilly out there, feels wonderful though. This “cold snap” has really aided to the browning of the corn, and beans, harvest is coming up! Moderate drought creeping u in central Illinois, including parts of Champaign County. We need rain.
