hawkeye_wx Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I only picked up 0.21 last evening. All the heavy stuff passed north and east. Models keep pushing back our heavy rain. Now, it's Friday and then again next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 With rain and strong wind coming, leaves are probably at their peak. Was hoping to have a nice and sunny day to view them before they fall, but the sun has been in pretty short supply the last 10 days or more. Took this today looking over the Dead River Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking about heading up to Wisconsin in about 3 weeks when I'm on vacation to shoot some foliage pics. Looks like it may be too late by then as things appear a bit ahead of schedule. May have to slum it and find some place in this area lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of deep cuts and valleys with very picturesque streams its very heavily forested as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Meanwhile, instead of cool leaf peeping weather northern WI gets the enhanced risk for severe weather tomorrow while we are in the slight, after the warm front couldn't even make it north of the state line yesterday (not that it would have mattered).

Hoosier Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'm thinking something like 88 here tomorrow. Temps aloft are just a tad short of what I'd like to see for 90, but I suppose it can't entirely be ruled out if models are underdoing that a little bit. I do think there's a somewhat better shot at 90 (at least isolated) south of I-80 in IL, where 925 mb temps are progged to be 24-25C late afternoon.

TugHillMatt Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi, all! This.is "blackrock" who used to post from West Michigan. Made the big move to the Tug this summer...so needless to say, I am excited for some 300 inch + winters and will definitely be joining in on your lake effect discussions. Nice shot, Bo! Foliage is behind here...but has exploded in color the last couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you gonna have to stock up supplies in case you get snowed in for a period of time? Doesn't look like there's too much around that area.

Im counting on the 13-14th to have great color in northern lower MI when im.up there, then the next weekend here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a different lifestyle here. The closest small towns are Pulaski and Camden, which are 25 minutes away. While remote, bigger cities like Watertown, Syracuse, and Rome/Utica are all less than an hour away. We will definitely be stocking up somewhat, but they take really good care of the roads during winter here. The economy relies on people who come for winter rrecreation and spend money on food/drinks, fuel, and lodging.

Hoosier Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Already widespread low 80s in IL/IN with a few mid 80s. We will probably see temps in those areas that we haven't seen in October since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 A lot of 88 readings on the 5 min obs at ORD, but I'm not sure if it's a real 88 or rounded (given the large number of 88 obs, my guess may be the former). If the high is 88, it would be the warmest October temp since 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit has had 3 times on record where it hit 90° in October. It hit 90ﾟ on October 8, 2007, 92ﾟ on October 7, 1963, and 91ﾟ on October 6, 1963. It also hit 89ﾟ in 1951 and 1953, and 88ﾟ in 1897 in 1951. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 88 here, and 89 at MLI today. Had a gust to 46 here on the home weather station, which is impressive considering it's only about 13ft above the ground. The record was never in play at MLI today, as the old record was a scorching 95 from 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Even in October Champaign getting 89’d, ‘‘ ‘tis has been the theme of 2018. But similar to cyclone, our record was going to be safe anyway, 93 from 1954. That Atlanta October stat just blew my mind. That is really bizarre.
