I like these cool nights and somewhat warm afternoons. Still trying to soak up some Vitamin D this year before its too cold outside. Might have 2 more nice weekends on tap this week and next. Looking forward to it. Plus, people still have some time to let their gardens continue to grow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the wet summer we have had I'm interested in seeing how they did. My other part of the garden really thrived this summer! The growing is done now it's all about product; also the equinox is coming in a couple days so bring on the shorter days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Absolutely gorgeous today..abundant sunshine after a cold morning low of 38F IMBY. Brrrrrrr. Tomorrow should be active with thunderstorms in the pm hour as a coldfront passes over my area. Temps near 80F if you can believe that. Next week It warms into the 70s with tons of sun. I enjoy having nice weather in September and prefer it that way.

Tom Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 00z GFS wants to open the 1st week of October more or less like its mid and late November...its only 1 run, but the 12z Euro Control yesterday was showing a major early season arctic shot. It's hard to dismiss this potential given the pattern we have been in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWisconsinWeather Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yep, cool showery day so far. Month has been interesting as far as September typically goes.

Tom Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I have been paying attention to the western pacific and both the GFS and Euro are showing a lot of activity in terms of Typhoon activity near Japan over the next 2 weeks. Last week I mentioned there was the possibility of 2 Typhoons hitting Japan and that seems to be on track. The one hitting China today and tomorrow weakens and then tries to redevelop into a solid storm system near Japan by Wednesday. This system isn't as impressive anymore as it was which may translate to a meager cool down sometime around Oct 1-3. However, the pattern setting up over the next 10-15 days near East/Asia is turning stormy. There may in fact be 2 more strong Typhoons that hit the region. Conditions are favorable to develop strong Typhoons with a large body of warm water to the east of China where the systems will be developing and there isn't much wind shear as well. Target date for the next Typhoon would be Sept 29th/30th (could be a powerful one.) If these systems do develop and hit near Japan, this will then obviously have an impact to our weather here. The models will flip back and forth around here, but sometime around Oct 7th and beyond I am expecting the pattern to turn cold/stormy. Let's see if testing this theory holds together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Run after run, both the GFS and Euro Ensembles are showing the Typhoon train hitting East/Asia. The one towards the end of the month looks big on both models. We probably will start seeing the models adjusting down the road to a cooler pattern. 12z Euro Ensembles turning that way, although its westward bias of holding back energy and troughs farther west, expect to correct more central U.S. based trough. AO/NAO turn negative as we head into October as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm heading out on the Chain tomorrow morning to try and catch some Muskey and Walley. We heard ppl are pulling in some 40"rs now. Should be ideal conditions tomorrow. My buddy caught a 48.5" Muskey last weekend on a small lake in S Wisco. Geo's, did you check out the western Pacific Typhoon train on the GFS??? There could literally be a storm that hits Japan every 5 days from the 30th and beyond. This could translate to a very active pattern in our region in October. That warm body of water east of China and NE of the Philippines is ripe for development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 00z GFS is sniffing out the colder longer range pattern and bringing the coldest air of the season into the region right around Oct 3rd and beyond. I think this model scores a coup and the Euro may follow (which is odd to say). Although, today's run on the Euro ensembles are showing a much different tune Day 10-15.

What a way to introduce the start of the new LRC pattern this year! Fits the pattern setting up in the western Pacific with the Typhoon train and correlates well with the East Asian Theory.
