It's too volatile to count on anything at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Models were teasing with a 1-2”+ rainfall event this weekend but they’ve pulled back and it’s looking more like a 0.25-0.50” event. There are a few sandbar islands appearing on the Mississippi in town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 The model trend for this weekend into early next week is bad. There is now unanimous agreement that blocking will win and this system will hit a brick wall over Iowa/Minnesota. Those juiced-up Euro runs are long gone. The GEFS and EPS qpf mean have really dried out from Cedar Rapids to Minneapolis, with nothing east of there. 2023 just keeps on giving. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Last years peak fall color was the earliest in years, and was a stark difference to the late peak in 2021. I am wondering what 2023 will hold? Color continues to pop more and more by the day, and a friend posted a pic of a tree of his that he said is "14 days earlier than last year", which was already an earlier peak. If we were going to be in a below average temperature pattern I would all but guarantee a very early peak, but with warmer than avg weather looming, Id say its a crapshoot at this point (altho a late peak seems unlikely). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Very nice, warm day on tap with upper 70's - low 80's. 70's tomorrow , too, as we end astro summer (astro fall starts just after midnight on Sat the 23rd this year 02:50 EDT, 01:50 CDT I believe). Looking forward to more rain potential this weekend. Strong east winds may retard some of that during the day here close to the lake with cooler, dry air, and slightly higher pressures.

I like it when it is early. I mulch the leaves (too much to do it any other way where I live). It was great last year being done with the yard around Halloween as opposed the Thanksgiving. Nothing worse than pulling out the mower when it's almost December. Sorry but I can't stand it when my snow drifts have a ton of leaves in them. Sure a few others on here feel the same way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows quit a nice stretch of weather to end September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Little over an inch in the rain gauge, kinda nice to have a true autumn feeling day, love a grey overcast day once in awhile. Harvest is in full swing, I noticed even beans are in full harvest mode too. Ready for our first wound up October system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We jumped to 76 early, but fell back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Looks like one of the nicest stretches of weather currently and upcoming. It was warm enough for the beach today and looks like 70 n sunny for atleast the next 7 days +. Can't remember the last time we had a soaking rain. Few weeks ago? I was thinking of doing some traveling since I am off work this month but when it's nice here, it seems kinda silly to travel. It would be nice to stay warm through October. I'm all for skipping fall and cold rain into straight winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
