jaster220 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hey Niko, you look to get your first "taste" of an autumn-like clipper tomorrow... Beat me to this.

jaster220 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 By departures from normal (going by Chicago data), the recent anomalous warmth stretches rank March 2012 first, February 2017 2nd and September 2017 third. For anyone comparing the recent heatwave and where it ranked, I snagged this from another site. I believe he's an NWS-Chicago MET, so it's a reliable ranking. I personally don't care for extreme heat and/or drought, so last week's event didn't so much for me. Having said that, I'm glad the 1st and 2nd place heatwaves were early tastes of spring, not in the middle of an already hot summer.

Tom Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Finally, we are back to reality today wx wise, as it feels like a normal autumnal day out here in Chi. Blue skies with cool temps holding in the upper 60's and a stiff breeze out of the NW. This is more like it. Planning on heading out for some King Salmon fishing early Sun am prob up near Winthrop harbor. Hope the lake quiets down by then as there may be residual swells from the NE winds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some upper 30's showing up near Burlington, WI and across the lake near Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo.

Minny_Weather Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 At the Lincoln airport, the month of Aug- I mean September finished with a mean temperature of 70.3, which is 4.3 above the normal September mean temperature of 66. The coldest minimum temperature recorded was 43, which occurred on the 6th. The warmest minimum temperature was 75, on the 22nd. The warmest maximum temperature was 97 on the 22nd, and the coldest maximum temperature was 64, just three days later on the 25th. The total precipitation for the month was 1.85", most of which fell on the 24th and the 25th. While we are not experiencing the same drought conditions some are in the Midwest, that was still 1.17" below normal. One record was tied during the month, that being the record warm minimum of 75 on the 22nd. The last time that occurred was 1937. No new records were set for the month. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
