September 2022 Observations and Discussion

Recommended Posts

The weather actually listened to the calendar this year. A much cooler 74 degrees for a high today (from 93 yesterday) and wind gusts following the passage of a cold front. Fall arrived on schedule.

I realize we've had several drops in temps like this over the last few months, but, no days warmer than 76 show on wunderground 10-day. A few 60's in there to end September even!

Today will be the last day of the ridiculous heat.  The cold front should move through mby around 4 to 5pm I can't wait for it to get here.  It's hard to believe thunderstorms won't occur with a front like this but only the Euro shows any significant rain for the KC area.

I noticed Paducah hit 100 two days in a row through yesterday. They broke their record latest 100 reading I'm told.

Today only made it to 63 up here in the MN home. Really nice weather. Tonight my fiancee and I roasted hotdogs over a campfire in the backyard to ring in Fall. It was 52° when we came outside and 48 when we went back inside. Mostly clear but clouds were moving in from the west from the approaching system. Steady light rain in the forecast for tomorrow with a high of 57. Love this current weather. Been waiting a long time for this. #hoodieseason

That 8-14 is in a jeopardy of a major bust if the Euro is correct. But then again- the 8-14 could be .1F above normal and the probability outlook still verifies no matter how red the graphics are.

Here is the next 10 days for KDSM (so pretty much includes all but 1-2 days  of the 8-14 from Tuesday)

max of near 80F this Sat and warm overnight into Sun- other than that its at or below normal.

The dryness is almost a given- but we are now at a point where nights are getting long enough to balance out the dry air heating with = cooling at night with regards to temps. This upcoming cooldown middle of next week is evident of that.

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Freeze warning tonight. 29 for the low

A little early for this but I'm sure you'll be enjoying this abrupt end to Summer?  Next major trough to crash into the GL's next week.  Crazy blocking pattern setting up and something that perks my interests as we monitor the seasonal changes.

Get ready to enjoy more of this as we continue down the seasonal changes...I think a big year is ahead for the cold season across the Eastern CONUS.

Wow, that is just what I'm yearning for when I get back home.  Enjoy my friend!  I know you love this type of weather.

Just like the local mets back home that were pushing temps in the 90's a week out bc they are big time warm wx fans.  The WGN producer Loves the heat and warmth but ORD never even hit 90F and held in the mid/upper 80's with plenty of rain.  Like you mentioned, and I agree, the Euro/EPS are a step ahead of the GEFS sniffing out the trough underneath the big Ridge up Top in Canada which leads to a number of days in a row of BN temps.  #BlockyBlocky

Yesterdays official H/L at Grand Rapids was 63/45 There was a reported trace of rain fall and 67% of possible sunshine. So far, the official overnight low at GRR is 42 here in MBY it was 39 and that is the current temperature here in MBY. For GRR that 42 is the coldest it has been since May 23rd that reading of 39 here at my house would be the coldest since May 8th  For today the average H/L is now down to 71/50 the record high of 96 was set in 2017 and the record low of 28 was set in 1974. The spread for today is from hot to a frosty cold.

With no rain in the forecast September will likely finish with only 0.96" at LNK, after only 0.55" in August. Currently at 18.4" for the year, so I doubt we will remain below the 19.14" in 2012, but I wouldn't be surprised if we barely make it above 20".

Average high temperature for FSD is 73 today, making it's march down to 70 by 9/30. 

Including today, 5 of those next 8 days are below normal per the latest EPS. The 25-75% bracket for temps barely reaches over 80 for the entirety of the run. Definitely looking like we have turned a page into a new season. 

I was about a week late with my call of there being two halves to September but overall it will end up looking pretty close to that with the first half being dominated by 80s/90s and the last 1/3 or so being normal or below normal. I'll take it as a W!

Get ready to enjoy more of this as we continue down the seasonal changes...I think a big year is ahead for the cold season across the Eastern CONUS.

 

Wow, that is just what I'm yearning for when I get back home.  Enjoy my friend!  I know you love this type of weather.

I didn't realize how warm October 2021 was here right before I arrived in town. Think this October runs a cold departure?

(Even though it didn't get to 90 here last Oct, it had warm lows...)

You'll prob end up being BN in the temp dept with AN precip for OCT as I'm seeing several opportunities for real heavy rain threats...Possible  App's early season snows late month.

Just for the record, not everyone who comments on, and highlights, the warmth are pushing an agenda.  I personally love winter, and I don't for a minute want global warming to be a thing.  I've resisted buying into it for years because I hate the idea of my beloved winters here in the mid latitudes becoming warmer and less snowy. I've looked high and low for evidence that things aren't truly warming.  Lately, I'm focused on the warmth out of frustration, not to prove a point about a political issue.   It's a complicated issue, and I'm very open minded as to what might be causing increased warmth.  But I just don't see how anyone can deny that things are warmer right now.  Whether that will continue or not, I don't know.  But between permafrost melting, glaciers melting, average temps having risen in most areas, etc., it just seems to be a fact we have to accept.  I'm not saying there can't be reasonable debate about the cause.  I just don't see how there can be any debate about the fact of the warmth, though.

That post was not geared towards global warming or being political but rather how their personal wants/needs influence a forecast.  It’s a fine line when your a wx man/woman on TV and always pushing a warmer forecast in summer or less snowier one in the winter.  It must be hard for someone to be disciplined enough to exclude their preferences.  I see it happen a lot on this network and I’m sure there are other Mets around the country that do the same. It’s just human nature I guess.

We had a similar situation in Seattle. A few local mets always fed into their snow-hating side and banked on the side of less snow in the winter. As such, they got a lot of flack from the weather enthusiast community. Just mention the name "Rich Marriott" in the PNW subforums and see the response you get! Then you had a few other local mets who leaned into their "weather weenie" side and would clearly get excited when snow was in the forecast, often times leaning on the higher end of snow totals for their forecasts. Granted in Seattle you will most likely be right when you forecast less snow as that's usually how it works out but lemme tell ya - when the low-end forecast would occasionally bust and we would get a whallop of snow, I would surely be sticking my tongue out at the TV any time those nay-sayer weathermen were on! 😆

Like you said, I'm sure it's hard to put aside your weather preferences when making a forecast. That being said, I wish professional mets made a bit more of a concerted effort to remain neutral in their forecast discussions and predictions. Seems like when local decisions are being made based on your forecast (and are not just a part of an online weather forum, like us) it would be ultra important to ensure you are accurate and not just wish-casting one way or the other.

When you cater to bigger markets like Chicago or Seattle you would think they have more pressure to be accurate…or…maybe not.

That 8-14 is in a jeopardy of a major bust if the Euro is correct. But then again- the 8-14 could be .1F above normal and the probability outlook still verifies no matter how red the graphics are.

Here is the next 10 days for KDSM (so pretty much includes all but 1-2 days  of the 8-14 from Tuesday)

max of near 80F this Sat and warm overnight into Sun- other than that its at or below normal.

The dryness is almost a given- but we are now at a point where nights are getting long enough to balance out the dry air heating with = cooling at night with regards to temps. This upcoming cooldown middle of next week is evident of that.

Correct. Even the Barney maps only show likelihood of below normal temperatures and even if it’s .1 degrees.

My Dad is in the motherland of Poland visiting family and he’s going hiking in the southern Tatra’s mountains.  There is a wonderful resort town called Zakopane that is a very popular ski town and summertime mountain climbing and hiking destination.  The town is known for its old school wooden chalets.  It’s a gorgeous part of the country as the beauty of the mountain ranges tower into the sky.  
 

The weather in Eastern Europe has been unusually chilly and there is already a lot of snow on the peaks as you can see in the picture below.  I’ll post more pics as I receive them.

I like the latest trends out here as there is one last hoorah for the official Monsoon season.  Some models are spitting out some decent moisture for the valley starting next Tue through the rest of the month.  Come on baby...I'm hoping PHX can record some more precip to break past normal for the season.

Meantime, Tropical Storm Ian has formed and I'm worried for my friends down in FL.  This blocking GL's HP is going to do some dirty work.  Not only are models increasingly showing colder temps around the GL's region for a longer period mid next week but that Big Block up Over The Top may stall out the storm over or near FL.  So much to digest over the next few days.  Should be fun tracking this potential major threat.

LR signals showing up in the GEFS/EPS that the BSR rule may come into fruition during the 1st week of OCT....my early call of a storm system tracking into the N Rockies around the 3rd-5th is showing up.  Should be an interesting start to the new LRC.

It's a beautiful, cool and foggy morning here with a temp of 52.  Temps are expected to rise over 30 degrees today as some warm air pushes in.  Tomorrow it's back to great Fall weather with highs back in the low to mid 70s.

Love those type of mornings and the smells of the fresh air and moisture...out in the country where you are it is something I miss seeing.

The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 64/38 with a daily mean of 51.0 it was the coldest day since May 23rd there was no rain fall and there was 62% of possible sunshine. The overnight low here in MBY was 52 the official overnight low so far at GRR has been 51. There has been 0.02” of rain fall here and 0.03” at GRR. For today the average H/L remains at 71/50 the record high of 94 was in 2017 the record low of 29 was in 1950 and 1976. Today looks to be cloudy and cool with a chance of rain. At the current time it is cloudy and 53 here in MBY there is now some color showing up on some of the trees some nice yellow and yes some red as well.

It's very exciting to see the start of a new weather pattern and hopefully it will be one that doesn't keep most of in drought or on the verge of drought.  A little early to draw any conclusions about this storm but a potentially wet storm in a blocked up pattern is a great way to start Oct!
