Lightning Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 Hey Josh @michsnowfreak, Do you know what is the sunniest fall (% clear)? You are much better at stats than I around here! We have got to be close if not in the lead!! This September and August combo so far has been incredible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 19 hours ago, michsnowfreak said: Some just like to clutter threads by talking and replying to themselves, in this case with nothing that has to do with October False, it has plenty to do with October. I just stated in my post, there are opportunities for several days of 70+ coming up this week to add onto the current record. The 32 or lower max temperatures is also relevant, because as we move into late October, it becomes possible to have high temperatures at or below freezing. The earliest 32F max for Detroit is October 29, 1925. As though a switch is flipped, it becomes commonplace in the month of November. Every day in the month of November, save the 2nd and 6th, have had at least one 32 or lower afternoon [and those days were close with highs of 33F and 34F]. By the second half of November, highs below 20F occur from time to time. So it is indeed something to watch over the coming weeks, as I said.

michsnowfreak Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 Frosty Fall morning today. While the metro stayed in the mid to upper 30s all night, rural areas tanked in the 20s. This is a fairly common occurrence with early season cold nights in Fall (not as noticeable during late season cold nights in spring). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, most NWSs (DTX included) began discontinuing % of possible sunshine back in the mid-1990s. Now only sky cover (0-10) is recorded. FWIW, early Fall (ie Sept especially) is traditionally the sunniest time of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record low max for October 16 & 18 is 37F! The record low for today is 23F. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record low for today is 23F. I must have missed the part where I said it was record cold this morning. I merely said it was a frosty morning and i liked the way the frosted rooftops contrasted with the colorful trees. Actually, I pretty much stated that in my original post, noting the contrast of cold mornings differs from Fall to Spring. It was 26F in Ann Arbor. Im starting to think TCC is just an AI generated bot profile. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Fall mornings have some wild local swings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I saw the comet! It's pretty low, maybe like 10 degrees up above the horizon. I tried last night after 8:00 but I concluded that I did not look for it at the right time last night, since the moon was out. Maybe some of us could spot the comet again soon with clear skies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The night of the 12th I tried but there were a few contrails all in that area. Don't know if I saw it or not After that it was cloudy until the past couple nights in which I keep being a bit to late (the moon was too bright). Gonna try again tonight.

Brian D Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Very nice Indian summer wx these next few days. Unfortunately no real precip in the picture, just some shower chances. I think Nov will have a better shot at significant precip chances. Lord knows we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Squeezed out a Trace of precipitation overnight. Can’t believe there are more 80s on tap here Sun/Mon. Record highs very much in play. Summer continues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 81 today. Just a few degrees shy of the record of 83. Every few days I like to throw it out there that Minneapolis has seen 0.06” of precipitation since August 30th 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 We've had two hard freezes here but there's still a ton of bugs around. The ladybugs have gone apeshit over the past few days, worse than I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
