Local weather office thinking the same possibility around here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 It has been fun telling various people how the milky white sky is from the fires out west. Usually the initial reaction is disbelief so it will really be mind blowing if the smell can be detected. I thought I smelled something a little while ago but it could've been and probably was a local source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 GEFS hinting at a warmup near the end of the month. We'll see if that comes to fruition. Could be the last bit of widespread summer warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 It's that time of year when we begin seeing wide diurnal swings. For FWA, the normal summer differences of around 20° widens to around 25° before condensing again in late October. Should be about a 35° swing here tomorrow and the weekend also should see at least 30° differences. Shorts during the day and a hoodie at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 This was back on Sunday as I was with a friend at a private airport just outside the city. Little better today but yesterday and Monday were just bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Temp struggling a bit at ORD. May be in danger of not making it to 80 (or if it does, it would be a squeaker). Not really sure what the problem is. I mean, smoke is a factor you have to consider as of late but yesterday managed to get to 79. And the starting point this morning was warmer than yesterday.

Any idea why they were lagging so much this morning into early afternoon? At first I was wondering if there was some localized pocket of clouds but visible satellite didn't have much other than some smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 0.04" at Indianapolis so far this month. Next 7 days (at least) look dry and then we'll see what happens after that. 3 of the 10 driest Septembers at IND have happened in the past decade... 2010, 2017, 2019. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 2 hours ago, OrdIowPitMsp said: That's a real hard freeze for this time of year for sure. Mid 30's here this a.m.. Mid to upper 50's this aftrn. Trees turning in town quicker than normal, so inland should be firing up good this week. By the lake, we're about 10-14 days later in color(warmer) and 10-14 days later in spring budding(colder) because of the water temps. Should be a nice drive up Hwy #2. I like to hit the Beaver river Rd off Hwy 15. It takes you up into Finland. That road has a stop for a walking trail that goes up on a ridge. During sunset on a clear day, the maples on the ridge across the valley look like their on fire. Awesome view. Been years tho since I've been up that way. Beaver river rd hits the Hefflefinger, and you go right for finland or left takes you north a ways until you hit Hwy #1 south of Isabella. Take #1 north until you hit #2 then go south back to TH. It's a long drive. Plenty of scenery and even a moose or 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Well up here in De Pere it has been a pretty chill September so far. Did not get the rain that Madison got up here last week, only 1-2" or so. The forecast looks pretty chilly the next few days, I have got frost advisories as close as Marinette and Shawano counties so that's nice. I expect that where I am in De Pere is a holdout for frost in the area. It's all urban and while we are low we are also only 7 miles or so from the lake. Up north though they might get into the 20's in the regular cold spots up by Rhinelander and Wausau. It'll be very interesting to see the little weather quirks of the area when I am around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
