At least Francine should bring a little drought relief to the Mississippi Valley and perhaps the extreme southern part of the sub. Southern Ohio wants needs a right turn signal. The ULL could create a sit and spin scenario.

Probably the only thing stopping a third consecutive year of record low gauge heights on the lower Mississippi. Currently forecast to approach -9 feet at Memphis (which is where the data below is from).

This has gotten almost as nerve racking as watching the model runs for snow storms in the winter. Will the remnants of Francine bring much, much needed rain to the eastern Ohio Valley like the CMC says....or be stopped in her tracks by the strengthening upper ridge over the northeast, like the GFS and Euro says. My water bill in Dayton needs the Canadian to score the coup!

incredible weather but still so boring

 

[iluvsnow]

And it looks like the CMC caves for the tropical remnants to soak the eastern Ohio Valley. Drought begets drought!

Sun is being blocked so much, that it's an orange ball slowly setting this evening. Not often you can look at it with the naked eye. Pretty cool.

Well the good part of this pattern is I don't need to cut the lawn anytime soon.

Beautiful sunrise this morning in the fog. A few miles outside of Milan MI

Rest of the month looks done dry for a majority of the sub.

Zero rain and temps near 90 for the next 10 days.  Fire danger doing to become an issue with so much dry vegetation and unharvested dry crop fields covering the land.  

What an awful pattern.

it appears the growing season has ended.

[IWXwx]

Endless days of beautiful weather. Best climo

[OrdIowPitMsp]

The Good: Deep blue smoke free skies.

The Bad: 90 degrees in Minneapolis today.

The Ugly: 0.03” rain so far in September. It’s crispy out there. 

[sbnwx85]

Honestly, if the weather is going to be boring and dry I'd rather have it during a month like September when it's normally boring.

[sbnwx85]

Should be able to get to 25 straight days without any rain. Historic times we live in.

[Chicago Storm]

With the help of the increasing drought, we've eeked out a few 90° days recently.

Topped out at 90° at ORD on Sunday. Peaked at 90° at both ORD and at MDW on Monday.

...2024 90°+ Day Tally...
22 - MDW
21 - ORD
18 - LOT
17 - PWK
17 - ARR
16 - RFD
15 - DPA
10 - UGN

[cyclone77]

Hit 90 today at MLI, which is the 3rd one for Sep, and 3 out of the last 4 days have hit 90.  

The 3rd 90 degree day brings them to a tie for July, when only 3 90+ days occurred.  Looks like tomorrow and Thu will reach 90, so will end up surpassing July's count.

[Chambana]

Pattern looks to continue for the foreseeable future, very warm and dry for the lakes.

Very nice summery wx this week so far. Looks like a decent chance at rain coming up. Really need it. Next week has more seasonable wx on tap.
