madwx Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 October is the best month to torch, wouldn't mind holding onto highs in the 60s as long as possible. As always, could use some rain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It's going to be a very late first frost/freeze this year. There's not even a frost tease for at least the next ten days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 First half of the month looks like a torch overall around here... Should build a fairly formidable positive departure through the 15th.Even with the ULL meandering around the SE next week, should still see average to above average temps around here. Beyond that, ENS have been coming more onboard the past several days regarding another push of warmer temperatures somewhere in the 8-14th timeframe. -PNA is slowly starting to develop, becoming more - with time. ENS support is high for a continuation through mid month, which supports the overall mild idea expected to continue.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Just remember most early cold Octobers end up being lousy winters for snow, so I am very happy to see a warm early October. 07/10/17 immediately come to mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 More color appearing by the day. Will be interesting to see if the warm weather slows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Not a drop of rain with the scattered weather around here. Maybe later tonight. Since weather is so warm, might be a good time to pull this out so everyone can see how hot it has been in the past. Definitely teasing, if not breaking, some of these coming up.

purduewx80 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Ash trees have been slowly turning here for a couple weeks. Probably muted colors this year with the drought hangover and late warmth. Looking forward to a few downpours later, if everything goes right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you have any healthy ash trees left down there. The emerald ash borer wiped out almost all of them in Michigan in the past 10 years.

bowtie` Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 A little toy train must have set up bisecting the county southwest to northeast last night with me in the center getting 0.90" in the tippy bucket so far. Agrees well with the radar estimates out of KIND. Now to see if we add anything meaningful on the backside of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even report suspected infections on the city's 311 site. That pic was on a boulevard w/ ~20 of them, all treated, tagged and healthy. In some ways I guess it's easier to take care of them in a city than in large, rural groves. My dad has saved a few on his property in southern IN, as they're one of his favorites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Yeah have seen a lot of dead/dying ash trees around here as well the past few years. The neighbors next door lost theirs this year. The sugar maples are turning pretty nicely already out this way. The one I planted last fall is starting to show color as well. Ended up getting hit by a tiny isolated thunderstorm last evening, dropped a quick 0.36" which was great to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The two big ash trees in my yard were ~50 years old and crumbled apart on their own several+ years ago. The latest models are looking a little better mid month... certainly more dynamic with potential for strong lows ejecting out of the western US.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 A majority of public ash trees are dead/dying around here but many on private property have been inoculated, and are thriving. October looks like an extension of summer this year. Although I'm sure we will see an abrupt swing towards the end of the month. I’ve lived in Minneapolis for 6 years and all but one has produced accumulating snow in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It feels like another free month of summer I’ll take it. When the pattern changes it’s gonna be a shock for sure, I feel like it’s been pretty summer like since April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
