Brian D Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 1.46" of rain from yesterday evening into early this morning. Another 0.1-0.2 should be tallied after these showers move out today. One of the better rainfalls around here. June 28 & 29 was the last event that was over an inch. Now the cool, early fall wx moves in with temps hovering around avg to below for the next few days. Unfortunately, not much rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 It was torrid at 1030am when I went out, but then in the early aft it was actually nice (sun still out). There was a increase in winds I guess. Storms just 45 mins away to my SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhou Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Yesterday felt like a nice change from temperatures soaring into the upper 90s to yesterday’s high being around 65. Also starting to notice some trees are beginning to change colors and drop their leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhou Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 As for the drought situation, I don’t think we have seen much in terms of rainfall in the past several weeks. Hopefully we can get some soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Yesterday's high temp in the low-mid 60's was just after midnight. Temps slowly cooled into the mid-upper 50's, and pretty much the same today. Very chilly. Furnace kicking in a little more now today as my house slowly cooled off from the weekend heat. Very Oct like wx with cool, cloudy conditions. What a 180 turn. Softening those strong + anoms to start the month. BTW updated my holiday thread with Vet's day, Thanksgiving forecasts.

New precip data didn't make the latest release as it came in on the 5th-6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 High of 51 here at midnight, sitting at 48 currently with just over .5” of lake effect rain overnight and today.

Hopefully enough acreage has burned in recent years, that the next few years will be mellow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Geese were moving heavy today. Unlike last year at this time. Although last year, they were moving every few days throughout Aug into Sept. This year had some movement in Aug, and now they are really on the move. Movement seems more typical this year than last. Flocks of migrating tweeties (various small birds) have been moving hard, too. Strong cold fronts get them moving good. Looking forward to more shwrs/stms tomorrow. Need a few more inches in the bucket. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Last night's Euro a lot more generous with a swath of rain from Iowa into northern IL Monday, with widespread 0.5-1.0 inch rains. Not enough to do much to help the overall drought situation, but would still be nice to see if it comes to fruition. Temps may have a hard time getting out of the 60s Monday as well under a heavy overcast/all day rainer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
