Niko Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 PER NOAA: Persistent ridging over the Great Lakes will keep the extendedforecast period quiet and mostly dry. A warming trend will commencebeginning Wednesday as the ridge axis folds over and higher 850mbtemps /mid teens C/ spill eastward into the region. Highs around 80on Wednesday will increase a bit each day, eventually reaching themid 80s by Saturday with light winds and partly cloudy skies forecasteach day. A pattern change looks to be in store by the late weekendas troughing over the central CONUS finally forces the ridgeeastward. The best chance for precip currently looks to be nextSunday as a cold front moves through. Break out the sun screen. Temps will soar by mid to late week.

OmahaSnowFan Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Nice band of strong thunderstorms developed just to the north of Omaha this morning... once again not a drop of rain in my backyard. And the beat goes on... Saw pictures online of the hail from those storms. There was a brief time where the storms were severe warned near Blair around 945 but even the warning had to be cancelled early bc the storms weakened. However in that time the storms dropped quarter to golf ball sized hail just south of Blair. Looked like lots of it too. I'm in north Omaha right off Hwy 133 that heads to Blair so this was maybe about 12-15 miles away. At my house we were under the anvil of the storms with even a bit of mamatus clouds. Had a brief shower and some thunder too but that was it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEKC Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Gary Lezak and the LRC. Can’t post tough questions on his blog or you get deleted. All of August he discussed and forecasted a wet and cool September in KC, we’re currently over 5 degrees above average and climbing and have been very dry since August 30th. His 12 week forecasts were way off for Sept. and today he came on and said that his LRC model forecasted a warm Sept. LOL The poor guy can’t accept a miss forecast. They’re gonna happen. His forecast is based off a 49 day cycle. We’re in the 7th cycle, 49 days ago when our heat stretch started this month is when KC has its hottest stretch of the year. Following that, we had 2 weeks of below average temps(which was nicely forecasted by Tom to close out July) so, 49 days later, we’re in a well above average pattern and quite dry which has made many bloggers question...”what happened to the cycling pattern” So, Tom, when will KC catch a break as this heat and humidity is no fun in Sept. very bad for seed and sod season. GFS shows changes by this weekend, right around the first day of Fall. Let’s hope so! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your area, I don't see any real Big changes just yet as the "resilient ridge" in the south will continue this month. I am banking on the models to trend cooler post 21st to close out Sept and was expecting a surge of warmth prior to the 21st out ahead of the system that is tracking way NW of all of us later this week. Certainly wasn't expecting this much warmth but its going to happen. My Autumn thoughts have been for a cooler start, which happened this month for the first 7-10 days for our northern Sub, but now the very warm temps will overcome negate any negative departures. However, I do anticipate cooling the following week. Typical "yoyo" Autumn weather except for the Plains states that have been stuck in the heat/humidity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Temp of 89 but a dew of 59 makes it feel like 88.

We’ve had plenty of warm Septembers, but i don’t recall any feeling as tropical as this one with the high DPs and humidity. I’m curious to see when our area and the MW as a whole finishes with a record warm winter and be able to go back and see all the various outlooks. I only have a small history on the weather boards, but have never seen a general consensus and agreement for a warm and dry winter outlook.

I know we follow MET seasons, but in my life's experience, SMI's practical wx outcomes are more in line with the astrological calendar, thus I always count September as a summer month. It's also rarely (it seems) a cold month overall, tho we can and do get some cold days from time to time. Having said that, I did see a few scattered trees with color on my drive across the countryside yesterday. #itscoming 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a small history on the weather boards, but have never seen a general consensus and agreement for a warm and dry winter outlook. I was more making a point that you have to accept that there is inherent bias towards cold and snowy on these forums.It's taken me a few years, but I hope I've come more to the center of my biases. I can't make this month cool no matter how it started off. It's becoming increasingly clear that my "target" of a major cool off in the 22nd range is bust and I don't really have much to contribute outside of that. I've posted in our Autumn thread (basically) that what looked like sure things have changed drastically. ENSO profile basically tanked in 2 weeks time. The ridge over the central CONUS and west central TX hasn't budged and I hate that as well. The main winter I got wrong that I should have gotten right but couldn't shake my biases on and made me look stupid was 2015-16. I had no real reason to go cold on that one. Super Nino+pdo+qbo was all stacked for warm but I just couldn't shake it. It made me learn stuff. I never minded criticism at all, but the lack of "why it won't be what you said it was" counter-arguments before it happens troubles me. Discussion helps me learn. Not just armchair quarterbacking after the play and saying "well, if you'd have saw -blank-, you'd have been right." Or "he's got a cold bias...yadda yadda.." I hope you don't take this post abrasively but I do value a counterpoint/alternative view, but before, not after. Not as a critic, but as a contributor. "I don't think that will verify on 'x' day, this is why." Or "I don't agree that 'x' month will be cold and snowy, here is why." These are good examples. I do encourage them. I think everyone who values a solid discussion in this hobby does. I admittedly haven't studied warm events that much until after 2016. It was my weak point. Still is. I value insight there that is not driven by agenda and I welcome it. I'm honestly split this winter 50/50. Based on SSt alone, it's a repeat of 2017 in the making. That's a warm winter for everyone southeast of Wichita, KS. I'm a true winter weather enthusiast. Sue me, I guess. I will be til I die, or move north. I can't help it.No hard feelings at all. Really.

After (4) above avg snowy winters in a row (a Chicagoland first), we should've known how that'd work out. And honestly, just based on that fact alone (stretching our luck too far) I really felt uneasy with all the hype. Same thing way back with 82-83. After the brutal prior winter, they called for an even more severe winter. I called that the "hind-casting" era. Thinking that what happened before was some kind of trend or something. As for winters being forecast warm-n-dry, as Okwx says, I think 15-16 Super-Nino was the last one expected to be such. That was a FAIL as it went on to be a fairly snowy and at times cold season. But, not to be denied, the following winter that was supposed to be a healthy flip to Nina ended up acting like the Nino we didn't get.

Niko Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Humberto is expected to become a major Hurricane. Luckily moving away from the US mainland. Humberto is likely to pass near or north of Bermuda Wednesday night, where a tropical storm warning is posted.

westMJim Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 The H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 80/62. The overnight low here at my house was 59 and at GRR is looks like it will be 58. For today the average H/L at Grand Rapids is 73/52. The record high is 92 set in 1906 and the record low is 37 set in 1959. The warmest minimum is 69 set in 1942 and the record coldest maximum is 47 set in 1973. Last year the H/L was a hot 90/62 that 90° high last year was the 3rd highest for September 17th at GRR with just the record of 92 in 1906 and 91 in 1955 being warmer. BTW if it makes it into the mid 80’s on Friday it would be a top 15 for that date we shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Texas is seeing a strong low move inland over Houston and further into the state. This is always a good sign for us that the heat is over. Arizona gets their Monsoons, we get Tropical Lows or Hurricanes. This is great news for us. 5 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Andie Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 This tropical system is showing signs of circulation, which raises concern considering we’re at the height of hurricane season and the Gulf water is very warm. While it’s not expected to persist long enough over open water to become a hurricane, it is certain to deposit a great deal of water in southeast Texas as it moves inland. Flood Watches have been posted and some locations could see as much as 6 to 8 inches of rain in the Houston and Galveston areas.....NBC We will see .50” rain in DFW. Up to 5” in East Texas on Thurs/FriFinally, Some rain !! 1 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Minny_Weather Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 It's already made landfall and the center is over Lake Jackson. Doesn't matter as the rain is the biggest threat. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.
