hardypalmguy Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 MKE about to tie/break their old record of 80. Just think, hitting 80 when the sun angle is equivalent to mid February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad. Looking at ThreadEx, there have only been 3 warmer days later in the year (84, 10/26/1963; 85, 10/30/1950, and 84, 10/31/1950) and one additional 83F reading (10/27/1927). For that matter, there have only been 8 days at or above 80+F after October 24th in recorded history. It was also the latest 80F+ reading at Chicago since 1999, when it reached 80F on 10/28. If this had occurred about a week later, we could have seen a third consecutive month start off with notable warmth. But it looks like November will buck that trend and start off on a chilly note.

The 82F at MKE was the latest in the year for to reach that temperature, but only just barely. On 10/23, there were two days recorded at 84F (1963 & 1899). Daily record highs drop fairly quickly this time of the year, but there have been 5 later 80+ readings: 81F, on 10/26/1963; 80F, on 10/26/1927; 81F, on 10/27/1927; 81F, on 10/29/1937; and 80F, on 10/31/1950. As you can see from those dates, it was the latest 80F+ reading at MKE since 1963. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet people will complain I don't give the same energy to record cold. Go to ThreadEx and do a Ctrl-F search for 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. MKE has not only not had a record low since 2019, it hasn't had a daily low temperature among the bottom three lowest since 2019. Even record/near record low maxima have been exceptionally sparse, with only one tied record since 2019 (2/14/2021): 2023: none; 2022: 39F on 4/27, tied one or more prior years for 3rd coldest, and 2F on 12/23 was second coldest; 2021: 10F on 2/13 was 3rd coldest; and 3F on 2/14 tied 1943 for coldest on record; 2020: 41F on 5/8 was 2nd coldest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 What is this heat some of you speak of? 55 yesterday 56 today at msp. 1.34” of rain yesterday and another inch tomorrow, then the bottom drops out. P&C has a high of 34 Saturday with snow showers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Oct 23: Toledo was down to 32, first frost of the year Oct 24: Toledo had a near-record high of 81, only one off from the record of 82. So I guess that's like a super Indian summer if we get that close to a record. There are not a lot of leaves that have fallen and covered the lawns. Things seem to be going very well for the red colored maple leaves. Great sunset pic by TheNino! extremely nice leaves here 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same out here. We may even see some lake effect down this way. After my niece complained on Facebook about the cold temps predicted for Halloween, I suggested that she dress the kiddos up as Ralphie's brother in A Christmas Story, so at least they will be warm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the unprecedented warmth of the waters down there, I'm actually a bit surprised it took until this late in the season for a Hurricane Otis. The US shoreline really dodged a bullet this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Seasonable to warm the last few days. Just some off, and on shower activity. 1.45" so far running half of avg, and probably not much more to add to that before cold, CA air moves in with snow showers. that'll be a shot in arse, but temps will rebound closer to avg after a few days of mid Nov-ish temps. Low-mid 40's for highs is avg late Oct into the first week of Nov. Upper 20's-low 30's for lows. Avg's really nose dive through Oct-Nov. Conversely for March-April.
