Fertilized regularly and I tend to keep it higher, so it doesn’t take much growth to get that shaggy look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 As the fall color show is in its early stages, I wonder if the warmer than average temperatures will have any effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really going to depend on how persistent it is. If warmer than average is the dominant trend in the coming weeks, then there will be a deleterious effect. Also, some areas are still dry lately which could have some impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Moderate drought was popping up in my area as per the latest drought monitor. Not much rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future. Currently it’s 87 outside. September a lock to finish above normal once again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Our local highs the last seven days: 73F, 72F, 75F, 72F, 73F, 77F and today hit 78F before the SE breeze kicked in. Sensing a theme? It's been a very good September if you like consistent comfortably warm weather. Dews have been in the 60s more often than not, but when the temperature is largely below 80, being humid is not necessarily a drawback in my book. One of our local mets chose to call the month 'steamy' on FB (he is from St Louis too) and I had to laugh. I'm as hot weather intolerant as anyone, but consistent 70s, even with moderate to high humidity, is not steamy unless in the months October to April/May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 My micro climate around here haven't recorded but a few drops of precip, less than .05 except for dew in the mornings, in almost 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I imagine that the farmers in our area are thankful for this dry weather and much above normal temperatures continuing into late September to allow their corn to mature properly. Most fields around here were planted very late. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A premature frost would have massive global consequences, because the US corn crop is a third of the world total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 CPC has pretty high confidence in warmer than average at 6-10 and 8-14 days. If that happens (and models/ensembles are certainly supportive) it generally will slow the typical progression of the fall colors over the next couple weeks.

We had our September in August, so now we're getting our August I guess. Needless to say I'm looking forward to October. Picked up 0.02" early this morning. Looks like 1-2" of rain possible tomorrow through Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im enjoying this because September and early October cold is a waste. Same as late February to early April for warmth. Right now 10F below average would give me highs in the upper 50s in about a months time 10F below average would give me lower to mid 40s and a chance at early season snow. It happened last year, September was a scorcher and into Canadian Thanksgiving (2nd weekend in October normally) was warm. A quick flip and by late October we had lows in the 20s and occasional snow. Edit-Im also a seasonal construction worker so Id prefer the 70s and sun. We are trying to close up as many projects throughout the province of Ontario but every year a few dont make the cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 With the rain we've had so far this month, the rain coming this weekend from the remnants of Imelda, and a seemingly wet upcoming 2 weeks, we are well on the road recovering our deficits from late summer and should have a shot of finishing near/above normal precip on the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
