Minny_Weather Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 GFS gives me 14" from the Thursday storm. That's HUGE as GFS hasn't been necessarily moist with these clippers so far. 1 3 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Stormy Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 2 hours ago, Niko said: Currently, temps are rather chilly here in SEMI, w 42F and sky conditions are reporting some light rain. It will be a gloomy, dreary October day, weatherwise. Some warmth is expected by weeks end (70s) and also along w that, comes some thunderstorms, which could be strong to severe as a sharp CF brings an end to the very mild air that will be poised here. I think, this will be the last of the 70s, for some time (probably until next year again), so might as well enjoy it and do some last minute activities around the house. Ya neva know. I’ve seen 70°s in Nov. and Dec. Maybe only once in Dec. though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
