Tom Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Plenty of upper 20's in the Upper MW/GL's region this morning...this should bring a bit of a chill in the air! Man, what a shock to the system. A bit early for ya'll? This should kick start the leaf change quickly this year up by the GL's this season. I know we have one member up in the Arrowhead of MN...wonder what temp he's going to get down to over this next couple days. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Meantime, it's still summer here in the desert SW...however, the slow slide down in temps in the 10-day will bring temps back down to seasonal levels. I'm seeing low/mid 90's here as we open up the first week in OCT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 57/45 officially there was 0.05” of rain fall and 36% of possible sunshine. Here at my house, I record 0.04” of rain fall. The current temperature and overnight low at both GRR and here at my house is 47. For today the average H/L is now down to 69/48 the record high of 86 was recorded in 1905 and the record low of 27 was set in 1991. Last year the H/L was 71/50. There looks to be a chance of frost tonight. The last time it has gotten down below 35 in September was in 2000 when the low reached 34 on September 28th 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 As is many times the case the clouds were did not break overnight and that keep the temperatures up well into the 40’s in much of our area. That was not the case in parts of norther lower Michigan were many temperatures fell into the upper 20’s and low 30’s. At Grand Rapids the official H/L yesterday was 54/47 there was a reported trace of rain fall and 4% of possible sunshine. The low so far here in MBY is the current reading of 45. For today the average H/L is now down to 69/48 the record high of 93 was set in 1953 that is the current latest day of 90 or better at Grand Rapids. So it is safe to say we will not see any more days of 90 or better until next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 As many other people have, I have spent a lot of time in the Fort Myers and Cape Coral area. My Sister lived there until she passed away in 2016. I received a text from one of my friends and as of 11AM yesterday she was ok sent me a video of her back yard. But has not responded to any of my texts since. Yes, she stayed in her house. As is the case of many people that live in Florida if you leave you have to find a place to go and at times that is not as easy as one may think. Also I think she has a generator for power. At this point it looks like there was some massive flooding in the Fort Myers and Cape area. I hope everyone I know down there is safe but that said I also know most of them did not leave. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Perfect harvesting weather around here. I think the coldest night we've had so far is 40 last week. Most have been in the low to mid 40's, so nothing close to a frost yet. The afternoons have been in the upper 60's to mid 70's and a nice breeze is blowing today. Our average first frost is between Sept. 24-Oct. 9. Average first freeze is Oct. 1-17. Of course those are just averages, and can vary from year to year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Not going to be a very colorful fall around here. Trees are shedding leaves before they're able to turn do to lack of rain. @NWSKansasCity The latest Drought Monitor shows worsening drought conditions across the region, with 82% of our forecast area in moderate drought (D1) or worse, severe drought (D2) expanding, and the introduction of extreme drought (D3) near Boonville. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even KC itself is predicted to get almost nothing. Other than the remnants of Ian, the entire country is looking dry. I'm very thankful we have a good well and watering system on the farm because we have very little running water in the creeks and our ponds are about 4 to 5 ft low. Currently we are pumping water to 150 head of cattle. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 September will finish with great temperatures but it has been dry. NWS Kansas City September 2022 is going to finish as the 9th driest on the 135-year period of record for Kansas City with just 0.84" of precipitation.

westMJim Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Yesterday was a great late September day with an official H/L at Grand Rapids of 63/45. There was no rain fall and 84% of possible sunshine. The grass dried out enough and I was able to cut the grass. And yes it was very long. The overnight low here in MBY was 41 and that is still the current temperature. For today the average H/L is now down to 68/48 the record high of 85 was set in 1922 and 1971 the record of 30 was set in 1993. The next several days look to be sunny and average to just a little below average with highs in the 60’s and lows in the upper 30’s to upper 40’s. At Grand Rapids September will end up very near average temperature wise much dryer than average. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I put a reminder in my phone to test the Cicada Rule and a few of us on here heard them around July 8th (ish). Well, let's put it to test bc if you take the 1st week of July as the start date that would make the 1st week of OCT as the First Frost. Did any of you have Frost in IA this past week? I know up in MN/WI it was common and there was spotty Frost the last couple nights in the far western burbs of N IL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
