cyclone77 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 0.05" yesterday, 0.10" this evening. Up over 4.5" for October now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 1.15" so far this month. 3.03" is the avg for Oct so need a couple more at least. Possible with the parade of lows coming through the rest of the month. Seasonable temps (+/-) the last few days. When you look at anom maps for Oct, it looks like it has been pretty mild for the month in the northern areas, yet minus the first 4 days, you get a different picture. Shows just how warm the start of the month was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 LOT just referred to a band of showers coming through in mid October in it's AFD as :A "MANITOBA MAULER" . I always viewed it in a different light. (as something that is a quick hitting snow and wind event in winter not a October rainshower) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Some wild temp swings on the way over the next 7-10 days. Should make the 80s Tuesday, and by next Monday may have a hard time getting out of the 40s. Typical roller coaster mid autumn stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took these yesterday Here in town, about the same as you. Being near the lake, peak is about 7-10 days later than inland areas. Reverse is true in the Spring with leaf out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Looks like some small changes to WSW criteria for the snow season. Around here into MI. Fine by me. Typical winter wx we all are used too. Nothing to get excited about, unless the winds are up, and ice is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most falls Detroit will peak before Traverse City. And likewise, it's a later bloom in spring along the lakeshore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Next week's rain on the EPS. The GEFS and other models are similar. This comes from several rounds of rain, from Monday through next weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog Town Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I hope we can repeat this patter at least a couple times during Winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Think we're at about peak color around here now. The full sun today really made the colors pop. Only trees not fully turned are the oaks, but even they are starting to color up now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 The oaks took a big turn here 3 days ago. They’ve been dropping leaves like crazy passing up the maples which turned last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I've seen the ground totally white under sugar maples in full red (Oct 2013). This year it's full colors blazing while summer flowers are still untouched by any true cold. Colors today across SMI are stunning despite no really frosty mornings yet. Vibrant colors were expected since we had a moist summer here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vibrant colors were expected since we had a moist summer here. Some areas have had frost (rural). Most summer flower plants around my area are done with leaves dying back. Yesterday we got some sun and several of my neighbors where out cleaning them all out. I did my last weekend except my roses that require a true hard freeze so they are still blooming. I usually cut them back midwinter when I prune the cherry, peach and apple trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer flowers including Petunias were going strong here on the edge of the UHI in NW Wayne Cnty. I'm sure once you get N or W of here that changes quickly as you have seen up in Fenton area. DTW hit 38F and I'm hoping clouds can cooperate for a solid 32F Monday morning to get that monkey off our back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Trying to squeeze in lots of yard work today before I watch the Bears “play football.” Picture perfect fall day, full sun, morning in the upper 30s and will get to around 60 today. Next weekend looks like we could be stuck in the mid 30s with a few flakes flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing left now is mulching leaves (and whatever lawn grows) each week until they are down falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got to 32F just before midnight so yesterday technically was the first day here . Most areas in SE MI are below freezing except the typical UHI big hitters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Had the first frost of the season which is insanely late; I don't know if this is the latest I've ever seen but top 2 for certain. Somehow up til now we never went below 2C but overnight it was -1C maybe a tad cooler. My forecast busted too low showing -4C with windchill at -8!! There wasn't even any wind when I went out there lol. The largest shift in my climate is how late the frosts on avg are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Thick frost today. 33 at DTW but 25 in Ann Arbor, 27 White Lake. So yesterday we in southeast michigan found out the sky actually IS blue, and it was the perfect crisp day for a walk in the park. Colors are peak and absolutely stunning. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 @michsnowfreak Great photos as always! I have a few nice color shots that look great on my phone (yeah cell phone cam - I know), but look like dull crap when I post them. Wish I knew why?

hawkeye_wx Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 This week is not looking nearly as good as it did a few days ago. The first three waves of rain will be a bust as they miss north and south. The Thursday rain could be ok, but likely not great. The weekend system may end up pretty strung out and south. Models had, unanimously, been predicting widespread 2-3+" across Iowa through the weekend, but many locations in a band through the middle of the state may struggle just to get an inch. 2023 strikes again.

Good. I have yard work to do. Rain impedes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
