westMJim Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 The current temperature of 69 is the overnight low here at my house. More likely than not this will be the warmest overnight low here until next summer. So far there has been 0.07" of rain here yesterday and overnight. At this time with that temperature of 69 there is a light mist falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 As we embark on the official start of Autumn at 2:21pm local time, our local photographer captured this sunrise yesterday that happens every year....#chicagohenge Meanwhile, over a week ago while I was in Arizona baking in the heat, I was also tracking back then what is now a timely 1st significant Autumn storm of the season. Nature always does it best but when she shows up in a timely fashion it makes it that much better to enjoy the change of seasons. Today, will feel just like it should...a classic autumn storm is shaping up for the lower lakes region. I can't help but think about similar beastly storms that took this track...reminiscent to the late 70's blizzards....gosh, did @jaster220 take his magnet with him???

westMJim Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Welcome to astronomical autumn. While today is the so called "official" start of autumn meteorological autumn started on September 1st. The official high at Grand Rapids yesterday was 73 that is close to the average high of 72. The record high for yesterday is 95 in 2017 and the record low is 32 set in 1962. The overnight low both here at my house and at GRR was 53 and that is also the current temperature. I recorded 0.35" of rain fall. For today the average H/L is 72/51 the record high is 95 also set in 2017 and the record low is 33 set in 1976. With the forecasted high today of 61 and 58 tomorrow IF that plays out that would be a top 20 coldest highs for any September 22 and 23. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I was expecting much more color around here due to the very wet summer. I would say trees are behind schedule from what I have noticed the last few years. Have only seen a few trees in town with large amount of color change. I used to think I could predict our upcoming winter by how fast the leaves changed or fell. Most years I was wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1976 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Enjoy the fall weather while ya can cuz we're going above normal again next week. DMX calling for 80s and possibly 90. Sucks! Nearly unanimous model consensus for above normal temperatures and dry conditions for at least the first half of next as a ridge builds up the high Plains. High confidence in daily highs into the upper 70s to mid 80s, possibly into the upper 80s to near 90 at times depending on the timing of weak frontal passages and depth of BL mixing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 @Tom "haha" about the magnet. I was thinking the same thing. Have a pretty strong history of moving to a new place and being followed by some historical winters/storms. While last winter was a real let-down for mby in Marshall, we did finish with that nice dbl digit storm in mid-Feb and sometimes seasons like to pick-up where they left off.

Tom Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Suddenly, this cut-off low in the SW is starting to perk my interest. Before I left AZ on Monday, the local mets had zero precip in their 7-day and already making calls that the Monsoon season is over. It officially ends on Oct 1st so if the Euro is right, this could very well easily place this season in the Top 10 list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
