A solid line of storms moved southward through central and eastern Iowa last evening. It produced what may have been the best light show of the year. I finished with 0.66" of rain, a welcome soak.

I'm dreading it.

Yeah you have to use composite or the third or fourth tilt.

Sure is dreary after a month of sun. Cloudy and light rain.

Been pouring here in SLK all morning. Radar is weird with all the elevation changes.

1989 - Seventeen cities in the north central U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date, including Devils Lake ND with a reading of 22 degrees. Jackson KY reported a record low of 41 degrees during the late afternoon. Strong northwesterly winds ushering cold air into the central and northeastern U.S. gusted to 55 mph at Indianapolis IND. Winds along the cold front gusted to 65 mph at Norfolk VA, and thunderstorms along the cold front deluged Roseland NJ with 2.25 inches of rain in one hour. The temperature at Richmond VA plunged from 84 degrees to 54 degrees in two hours. Snow and sleet was reported at Binghamton NY. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) wow was this the earliest ever occurrence of snow at Binghamton? 1989-1990 was such a weird time, we had historic nationwide severe wx outbreaks in September, October and November (that last one killed 10 kids at Coldenham HS in Westchester) and early extreme cold that lasted through December with a freak snowstorm just before Thanksgiving too. And then spring arrived just in time for New Years and it was consistently warm through March until winter gave us a last blast of snow in early April lol.

Yeah you are in a different climate down there. These early season cold fronts sometimes get hung up just north of you.

Finally had a good drink yesterday... 1.6" of rain IMBY. Looks like CLE missed most of the rain. Not sure it is going to be a good foliage season... the colors seem muted with rapid leaf drop.

Used to get a deer feeding on my dogwood at the old house. Please rain, my lawns crying for moisture.

Unfortunately still very dry for most of GA. Really hoping the cold front moving through Thurs/Fri gives us some beneficial rain.

1815 - One of the greatest hurricanes to strike New England made landfall at Long Island and crossed Massachusetts and New Hampshire. It was the worst tempest in nearly two hundred years, equal to the hurricane which struck in 1938, and one of a series of severe summer and autumn storms to affect shipping lanes that year. (David Ludlum) I'm always fascinated by these old historic storms, what was its path and was this a Cat 3 at landfall, Tony? a 20-30 foot surge too? Two big hurricanes made landfall on Long Island in the early 1800s, in 1804 and 1815. The one in 1804 was the famous snowicane.

Flowering dogwood consistently produces small fruit that wildlife loves. A cloudy morning - quite unusual in recent months. No rain, but maybe tonight.

I actually "liked" that, but then realized central NH and Maine need it way more than we do here. I looked at HPC QPf for over the next five days, and it does indeed look like all, pretty much(?) New England gets a good dousing.

Thats why it's so great to see the sun come out and now it's bright and sunny with deep blue skies

we won't

I definitely do not miss that time, high winds -40 to -60 windchills and icy sidewalks that were so slippery, this was my experience in the mid to late 1980s.

that happened during the 80s too and icy sidewalks YUCK

WAD winter incoming?

Extended looks warm and dry. We’ll probably continue with highs in the 70s until the inevitable sharp cold front and first flakes around October 18-20th. Seems to happen like that almost every year around here.

for now-no thread on the oncoming early Tuesday morning WPC D1-3 1-3" and SPC D1 and D3 marginal svr. Anything after Friday morning is in doubt. Think it best to happen in the 60 hr window 18z today-06z Fri.

Just waiting for penn state to get embarrassed at home next week against Oregon for the trifecta of disappointing high expectation sports teams in 2025 to be complete

1.98" of much needed rain yesterday here.

7 times

The NWS continues to forecast between 1.5" to 2.0" of rain across much of the area by Friday morning. Western areas of Chester County could see some beneficial rain starting this evening...further east chances look to be less. Rain chances really increase by late Wednesday night through Thursday. With the rain it will be relatively warm and humid for late September with little range in temperatures from PM highs to AM lows mainly in the mid to upper 70's for highs and the low to mid 60's for low temperatures. We start to dry out a bit on Friday before we clear out and turn cooler by Sunday.

Husky stadium is beautiful and loud. Washington should have a decent team next year so maybe you'll get a fun night game to attend with huge playoff implications since it is the final game of the season. My dad and brother went out to the USC game last year and loved it. Regardless, that seems like a wonderful boys trip. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
