Wow. We are still waiting for many trees to even change from green down in Lower Michigan! This past week has seen a good change in color...which hopefully won't ALL be gone after this stormy weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely a pattern change coming end of October, beginning of November. Positive PNA usually leads to ridge in west and through in East. Pretty decent agreement too. I'd say we see our first measurable snow for Bo/Josh with our first traces in other areas. Evident in the ENS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 This system didn't really pan out for my local area. For days 2 inches looked like a good bet, but the first band of heavy rain yesterday missed north and the main show today trended south. I finished with 0.73". The last couple systems didn't even drop 2 inches combined, which is disappointing. Still, the landscape is very green again, and now I'm looking forward to the upcoming dry, increasingly pleasant week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nov is when I start to cheer for cold/snow. This year has been my perfect scenario with much warmer than normal up to November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be shocked if we have one more warm up in mid November though, probably coming with severe weather too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An inch or so of rain here (they were predicting around 3 inches)...but just a county or two farther to the south (Kalamazoo/Battle Creek areas) have received over 6 inches of rain today, with more to come!

Hoosier Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 ORD is over 4" on the day, which is only the 13th time there has been that much precip in a single day officially for Chicago, and is the wettest calendar day since July 23, 2011. And they are north of the heaviest band. I saw a report over 6" near Midway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves swirling everywhere in the wind right now. Adding to the oddity of this color season, I have heard from several different people in the last week or so that there is more color in SE lower than northern lower. Lots of sunny weather on tap this week so I'm thinking next weekend may be the most colorful of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Just over 5" of rain since Tuesday morning. Shallow ponds that had dried up should be re-hydrated going forward. Glad to lose the dry pattern and the snooze-fest pattern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a weird color season. Same here, Josh. The cool start to September caused some quick color change, then the heat that came (combined with the dry conditions) caused the first batch of color to disappear quickly. Then very slow changing until this past week. I was perusing the New England threads this weekend, and apparently the fall foliage season has been the same over there. Many disappointed leaf peepers over there. Bo, it looks like you're going to be looking at quite a stretch of drab, brown trees with no snow for the next couple weeks. Still waiting on our first frost down in much of Lower. Looks like you may have some good understory color left in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
