Iowa City got nothing while I got 2.04". Locations just north of CR got 3-4+". Nice soaking there. 0.00" here, but looks like a shot at a wave of decent rains this evening. 3km NAM shows some pretty decent convection rolling through mid-evening. The surface low is just to the north, which has kept us in a little wedge of warmth and humidity. Still pretty muggy out there with 74/71 at the moment. Should drop a good 10 degrees by noon.

I forgot it actually has to make it until 1 am central since we are still on daylight savings time. Outflow is currently just south of MKE and moving south but not necessarily racing. It better not come through between 12 and 1 haha. Disappointing at ORD, missed the monthly record by a hair. I knew this could happen when I was out for a walk last night around 11:00, and could feel the outflow hit. I'm about 20 miles N of ORD. The temp dropped from 77 to 70 in 15 minutes. But Rockford did set a new monthly high min for October: RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO IL 0145 AM CDT WED OCT 2 2019 ...ALL-TIME RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER SET AT ROCKFORD IL ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 1... A DAILY RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 70 DEGREES WAS SET AT ROCKFORD ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 1. THIS BREAKS THE PREVIOUS RECORD FOR OCTOBER 1 OF 63 DEGREES SET IN 1971. THIS ALSO WAS A DAILY RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. THIS TOPS THE OLD RECORD OF 69 DEGREES SET ON OCTOBER 3 1954 AND OCTOBER 21 1979. THE PERIOD OF RECORD FOR ROCKFORD DATES BACK TO 1905. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Looks like Lincoln IL only dropped to 76F last night. That would beat the old all time record high min by 5F but it looks like it will cool to lower than that today. Point and click has Lincoln at 72F at 12AM which would still set all time high min for October. That's assuming cutoff time is at 12AM of course.

It will be whatever the temp is at 1 am central daylight time (or more precisely, 12:59 am cdt) because the climate days run on standard time.

Hoosier Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Actually have a signal for some lake effect rain here on Friday. Makes me remember that the 19 year anniversary of the October 7-8, 2000 lake effect snow is approaching. Not gonna snow this time though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ovweather Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 This map is fascinating for the past month. Northern IL, southeast IA, and southern WI at 300-500% of normal precipitation while most of KY is at less than 10% and some less than 5%. I'm guessing some of the those areas in IL, IA, and WI saw more than 12 inches of rain in September with October starting off wet, while many areas of KY have not had measurable precipitation in 5 weeks. What a stark contrast over just a few hundred miles distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in June everyone here was complaining about the excessive rain thus far this year and last year. Then come July the shift began. Now, I think most people would love just to see a rainy day. Worst drought in north-central KY since 1999, maybe even worse in the very short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Picked up another 0.46" today on top of last night's 2.05". It's pretty wet around here. It's even wetter just north. I wish I could bottle this pattern and open it up in December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well, the area that recently got hammered south of Chicago looks like it's going to get some pretty good rain again, though amounts should be less than last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking a lot about the 'crispy dry' conditions around here and into southern OH. I'm really surprised that I haven't heard more about wildfire threats. If we don't get some decent rain in the next few weeks it's going to be an absolute tinder box out there. Hell, we couldn't even squeeze a drop of rain out of a front that ended a heat wave and dropped our temps 30 degrees....just a dry windy front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, "flash drought" is being used to describe the current conditions across the South by the National Drought Mitigation Center, a sudden increase in drought conditions as compared the normal slow onset drought. NOAA and the University of Colorado published a summary paper on research concerning the flash drought the Plains endured in 2017. I had never heard this term used before reading this article: https://www.wishtv.com/news/national/flash-drought-worsening-across-14-southern-us-states/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Beautiful crystal-blue skies today... something of a rarity around here the past month or so. 8.4 inches of rain since the first of September. The warm dry summer quickly changed. Trees are peaking (oaks a tad green still). Leaves are surprisingly nice, despite the wind and rains lately. I'd estimate peak a week to ten days behind schedule for my local area (maybe even a few days more). Up until Friday night when it hit 29, I had only had one very light frost, but have had many mornings in the mid and upper 30's. With the sunshine today, temps should reach mid-50's which will feel nice, with high temps only being in the 40's the past several days. Pretty much just waiting on the snow now.
