Chicago Storm Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 The first real-deal flake potential of the season around here may be on the horizon for Halloween. Guidance is in agreement as of now for a potent disturbance to move through, bringing a squally/showery set-up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That's late November averages here. WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Today's system performed well for southeast Iowa. One cell produced the heaviest rain I've seen in months, and everything together added up to 1.50". Parts of Iowa, especially out west, experienced a major model bust this week, but, thankfully, today salvaged it for us. For days, models had this system stronger and farther nw, but the last-minute weaker and southeast trend benefitted us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 A couple small cells early this morning quickly dropped another 0.37" here. My weekly total is up to 1.98". My October total is 5.14", more than the last three months combined. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 66/62 atm here with a muggy feel to the air. Cold front just passed through DVN, so have about a half hour left of this recent warm/humid spell. Some models show a few wet flakes here as early as Sunday with the passing frontal wave. Best shot looks Tuesday though as that potent vort slams through the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Added another 1/4" of rain yesterday. Popcorn shwrs today as the cooler air moves in. Good bye mid Fall, hello late Fall, and a bit of winter too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhou Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Chilly day today, high of 37 here, should get into the mid 20s tonight. Curious to see how we are tomorrow morning, whether we get some snowflakes flying or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 -13C in North Dakota and +17C in Arkansas. With that change of 30 C exactly, the difference of these 850mb temps is 54F. The surface temperatures differed by more than 60 degrees F from central North Dakota to southern Arkansas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardypalmguy Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Wow what a change. Was in the 60s most of the day with a jump up to 70 right before the front. Dews were mid 60s and with the lighter winds it legit felt really humid today. Had a nice cell move through and drop a heavy burst of rain and then the front hit with the sharp drop…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 A ton of leaves came down with the gusty post-frontal winds today. Many trees nearing bare now. Looking more and more like winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 It has been a wet month here. 5.41" and still some very light rain out there tonight. Like many, the drought of May/June is gone. Like cyclone, lots of leaves down here with the combination of rain and a fair amount of wind today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 October has been average precipitation here. Only got 1/3" out of this system. 1" totals about 10 miles to my north. Not complete misses at all but most of the month the heavier total have been just to the west or north of here. I will say I am not surprised by the set ups.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Low of 28 in Minneapolis. The first official freeze of the season. Outdoor dog bowl is frozen, and our tomato plants are dead. Pretty unusual to have our first hard freeze occur under overcast skies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 With response to the Northern Ohio discussion, Toledo had high 79, low 63, average 71 yesterday, all of which were 19, 22, and 21 degrees above normal. 79 broke the record of 78 from 1927, 1984, and 2014. The high of 78 in 1927 must have been a strange one, because there wasn't exactly global warming. Also, 10/28/1927 had a high of 81. 10/27/2014 was fairly similar to yesterday, in the wind directions, and the dew point at Toledo. The similarities are not so much there for the northern Plains, which was in the mid-20's in some areas yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
