OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 22 hours ago, Brian D said: Interesting weather fact from Ft. Ripley October 1820. 11" of snow from the 11th-14th. Still stands as the most significant early Oct snowfall for that area. Fantasy of a bygone era? https://www.climatestations.com/minnesota-weather-for-1820/ Thanks for sharing that link. It was really interesting to go back and read the weather records from Fort Anthony/Snelling in those early days. 1820 to the present is a very impressive weather record for our part of the continent. My home is only a couple miles from the historic fort location, I’m sure there was settler activity right on my property during those days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how the area can’t at least be considered to be in a severe short-term drought based on the current streak. I guess the coolish temps of late have helped. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?Midwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojitodd Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Can this rain please then just skip under Indy if want to keep this dry spell but then move up and give me a good one or two inches? Dang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang. With a strengthening La Niña, the dryness in the midwest is likely to continue into November. Late summer / autumn dryness / drought is common in the midwest during La Niña’s, of course with variabilities. Delta is starting to look like a possible swing and a miss for the lower OV this weekend as each model run lowers precip totals, but we aren’t nearly as dry as central IN.

Hoosier Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 LOT calling for 81 at ORD tomorrow. Assuming it happens, there's a very good chance it will be the last 80 degree day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drive down was interesting because as we drove through Central Indiana, suddenly the lawns were dead (dormant). It got a little greener as we got down to the Ohio, but was still dry. We thought about doing a waterfall tour, but the first two we checked out were almost dry. We quickly gave up on that idea. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that little backdoor front moves the clouds in too soon on Saturday, 80's not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year, unless big rain events happen weekly, most creeks / streams are normally running at their lowest levels for the entire year. It seems September / October in the OV is either very dry or very wet over the past few decades. Rarely “normal.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are missing a few 1998 had a huge storm, and though in October you have to consider the Octobomb, both of which were La Nina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Looks like today could be the last 80-degree day until next year. With clouds already increasing by morning, get ready for Delta to be responsible for a crappy weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Although this is the time of the year for the greatest diurnal temp swings, the dryness in Central Indiana seems to be exacerbating the spreads. Muncie had a nice 42° spread yesterday (45°-87°). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 For a week I was looking forward to this weekend and some modest warmth and sunshine after the mixed week, instead of waking up to the final hours of good weather I see a dark, gloomy overcast (noon is as bright as 6:45 pm!!) and higher than expected winds. Just 24 hours ago it was showing mainly sunny conditions. This was the last day on my 7-day showing both 20C+ and some sunlight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The GFS continues to tease snow events for the upper midwest in the 1-2 week period. Last night's Euro had a good one up in Minnesota. At the very least, it appears the garden season will be over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More typical in Nino's. Do you know any that have occurred during a La Nina in Chicago? How did the following winter pan out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
