Yesterday about 4pm on the west side of Indy we had about a 10min span of very gusty winds, combined with the already saturated ground it was enough force to fell a 40ft ash tree on my property. Barely missed landing on my neighbors house and car. 

Yikes! We had a fairly stout ENE winds up here yesterday afternoon, but I also noticed a short period of VERY gusty winds late yesterday for short period of time.

Topping out at 3.63" IMBY, looks like very light showers left for this afternoon.  ILN went with 4-6" for most of SW Ohio on Friday (with locally heavier amounts in bands) so I'd say close enough for government work.  Oxford just north of Cincy got 4" Thursday from storms ahead of this system, so I think they topped out near 8" for the past 4 days.

the wet pattern has returned

GFS has the firehouse back (PW vales >1.75 in) and dynamics pointed to western portions of the sub forum for the next 10 days at least

 

WPC has 5 inches for Sourthn WI next 7 days

 

 

Yeah the trend is definitely there for substantial rains to set up again.  Today's GFS is even more impressive than yesterday's.  The Euro also shows very heavy rains.  Gonna be an interesting next week to 10 days.

With the rivers and lakes around the upper Midwest already as swollen as they are, I'm getting nervous for what's going to happen next spring if we get a lot of snow this coming winter.

This fall is reminding me of 2007. Hopefully we don't get a repeat of that winter or else it's going to be a very wet March/April for a lot of people.

I’d be okay with this active pattern running into December/January to be honest. However, didn’t someone say that wet falls tend to lead to drier winters? Maybe it was cold falls lead to warmer winters. It was some sort of inverse correlation like that.

Cold falls especially cold early Octobers usually end up with warmer winters. As for activity, you want that soil moisture upstream from you for winter storms, so an active fall should be positive for winter.

If there was a way to give a negative chance of something happening, this would be it.

I mean, I kind of see why the model is doing that... there is a lot of interaction/phasing with the trough (deepens even more beyond that panel), but it's unclear if the timing will be right and even if it is, it would be a miracle to have it that deep.  You'd be talking like once in a lifetime.

Fine I'll bet a dollar if you are giving me 1 in a million odds.
