Tom Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Today's 12z Euro suggesting some "September Snow" coming for the Front Range of the Rockies next week! Quite an impressive shot of early season Arctic Air...wow! If this happens, it would be something really special. I just drove through that area and I had visions of what it would look like when it snows here. That's a lot of snow for early September.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Well, I am fain to find out that my area has now been removed from the "Abnormally Dry" cat and is near average in rainfall, but above for the month of August. Thanks to the wet weather last week, which helped boost up those numbers. Lets see how September goes in terms of rainfall.If the rainfall was widespread enough it should show up on the drought map, but if only a small spot it might not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1976 Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Des Moines NWS regarding next week. Love it!!:Â Right on the heels of the Saturday evening/night shortwave, a muchstronger cyclone will swing across southern Canada and likely theUpper Midwest and Great Lakes regions later in the weekend. Thishas the potential to bring the first real fall-like weather to theregion, depending on its southward penetration, with additionalrain chances followed by significantly cooler temperatures in thefirst half of next week. Stay tuned folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 It’s actually raining here. Unfortunately I can’t get a measurement as my rain gauge broke and I haven’t picked up a new one and the local high school is no longer reporting. I’d guess we only got a tenth of an inch but it was enough to make everything wet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 What looked like a cooler Labor Day weekend is turning into a HOT one for the central Plains states and into parts of the MW. If the Euro is right, some places may make a run towards 100F out in NE on both Sunday and Monday. Relief comes late on Monday when a powerful CF races south and ushers down some bone chilling cold for the time of year. I think this would be devastating for crops if trends continue.   The 00z Euro is suggesting daytime highs, yup, daytime highs in the low/mid 40's nearly 24 hours later after basking in the 90's for a few days. Wow, talk about a pattern flip! Not to mention, but those out in the CO Front Range will be flirting with record heat and then possible Record Cold and SNOW!!! As a weather enthusiast, I'd love to be there to witness this transition. Call me crazy, but that would be a sight to see!  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Well my area did receive 0.34" of rain. So while not a lot it is just enough to keep the grass green. It was a mild overnight and IF is stays at 68 or above it will become a tie for the 14th warmest low for any September 2nd. At this time it is cloudy and 69 here at my house.

snowstorm83 Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Wow -  GFS has mid 30s for Eastern Neb next Wednesday morning. Even colder further west with near freezing in Central NE. That would be pretty impressive for so early in the season. No idea what the euro shows. I think wxbell has cracked down on many people sharing one account by tracking ip addresses, so I haven't been able to use it for the past few months. I'll probably get a subscription of my own sometime before winter starts. 3 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4"  2018-19: 55.5"  2019-20: 17.6"  2020-21: 49.4"  2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 I just checked the weather, the temp has shot up to 88 degrees but feels like 85. Dew is 42 and humidity is 21%. Sure seems like our incredibly humid summer is going to be a distant memory. Funny what happens when irrigation season ends a cold front comes through on Monday. We are in for quite a roller coaster ride in the next 6 days. The fun of living on the Central Great Plains. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 A very fascinating wx pattern is setting up for the middle of next week as we continue to have quite the battle among the various models. Is this going to be our 1st Autumn storm system to track? Yesterday, there was a massive spread in temps between the GFS/Euro. Last night, they both came in a bit closer to one another as the Euro cooled and GFS warmed. I'm pretty sure we'll see more adjustments in the coming days. Needless to say, this storm reminds me vividly of what we saw back in October when last years LRC was developing. Remember how many times we saw these strong frontal boundaries knife down the leeward side of the Rockies??? It's pretty neat to see this sorta pattern happening in early September. Nevertheless, the 00z Euro keeps the snow in the forecast for the Rockies and now the recent 06z GFS run does also. A highly amplified pattern is poised to setup up shop across the central Plains/MW causing a strong signal for our seasons 1st frontogenesis pattern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 The JMA weeklies continue to illustrate a pattern conducive for an amplified pattern for the duration of this month. In fact, if it's Week 3-4 forecast verifies, you can betcha we'll see some vigorous troughs if we see strong re-curving Typhoons later in the month. Week 2 temp/precip...      Week 3-4...this is a rather strong signal this far out to see an uptic in W PAC activity. Why is this important??? It could very well have implications for all of us down the road as we open up October. 500mb pattern keeps those ridges off both the west coast and east coast....   Temps look rather seasonal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
