I think a lot of Oaks and Elms? I am not entirely sure.

Around where I normally live it always seems like that the colors are dull. Even when the rest of the area has pretty vibrant colors. I don't know if it's just the trees around me or what.

Yeah around here the color really has started to explode the last 2-3 days. I think peak will be next weekend, which is a week earlier than normal. It'll be nice to have a vibrant colors year for once after the last 4 years of dull colors.

Well up here in De Pere it has been a pretty chill September so far. Did not get the rain that Madison got up here last week, only 1-2" or so. The forecast looks pretty chilly the next few days, I have got frost advisories as close as Marinette and Shawano counties so that's nice. I expect that where I am in De Pere is a holdout for frost in the area. It's all urban and while we are low we are also only 7 miles or so from the lake. Up north though they might get into the 20's in the regular cold spots up by Rhinelander and Wausau. It'll be very interesting to see the little weather quirks of the area when I am around here.

I am up here for College until (hopefully) November.

You underestimate the power of January in Wisconsin.

I think I can speak for most of wisconsin when I say that another 07-08 would be great.

Lebanon Wi had 128mph

Madison finally hit 90 today. First one all year although we did get 89ed 5 or 6 times beforehand

So Cristobal made it all the way to *checks notes* Richland County before becoming extratropical. That's a sentence I would never have thought of writing before this. To put it in perspective it actually made it farther north than where I am, albeit not by much. It's actual effects were a lot more benign though. We did eventually get the wind and we topped at probably 40-50 mph. Rain-wise we got our couple inches, it was absolutely pouring at a few points. Overall just a cool event.

Well so far it's been pretty benign here. We got to about 85 or so before the clouds started to move in, and now we are down to about 73. The wind picked up at 1 and we got to 20-30 mph before the rain moved in. Strangely enough the wind has actually died down during these rain showers, although the heavier stuff is getting closer so we will see how that turns out. My county is in the boring zone. Flash flood watches next county to my west and Wind advisories next county to my east. Kind of annoying ngl.

I don't like the idea of those PWATS combined with a very strong low and tropical remnants. That could be a potentially serious flood threat, especially if it goes over the very wet areas from the last couple of weeks. Combined with the potential wind and this could be quite interesting next Wednesday/Thursday.

I don't really see why we wouldn't get anything tonight. The whole setup screams at least a decent squall line coming through. Although what I don't get is MKX showing the storm going through the area NW-SE when again that's not really going to be the case.

It is really weird. Over here we are probably good on rain for a little bit yet while over by La Crosse they are in Abnormally Dry already. If it weren't for the last 2 weeks or so we would be in the same boat, and we may very well be after tonight depending on where the edge of the ridge sets up.

That swirling mess is a cut-off low. A cut-off low is when a low pressure system loses the jet stream's steering and gets stuck in an area, often stuck under a ridge. They can last quite a while as evidenced by this one.

We had such a cold first half of the month it's very likely we stay that below average for the month. At least a good 60% of our trees are leafed out at this point, not like we are almost to june or anything. I am so ready to move on to summer. Hopefully without more cutoffs.

We got into the sun up here so the highs ended up in the mid 70's. The forecast for the next 7-10 days looks great as of right now. 70's and 80's during the day with 50's and 60's at night and a chance of thunderstorms everyday. Sounds like a forecast that actually belongs to the current month for once. Here's hoping that the forecast sticks this time and isn't ruined by a cutoff low from hell.

We probably have 1.5 to 2" here at this point. Radar looks like we only have maybe another 30 to 45 mins of rain and then we are done. I think we are good on rain now for the month.

Either way It's looking another inch of rain is on the way on Sunday, which is not the worst thing in the world considering we are a bit below normal right now for rain.

We got to 25 here last night. Definitely can tell in the plants, everything has a bit of a drooped look to it. Looks like it will be near freezing pretty much every night until Wednesday. At least crops wise there isn't a whole lot up yet so it shouldn't be too damaging there.

Funnily enough Sunday is the 30th anniversary of this storm. https://www.weather.gov/mkx/051090-spring-snowstorm. This storm dropped up to 6 inches in a band from Green Bay to Waukesha. Unfortunately the heavy snow caused a ton of tree damage. What's weird is that that winter also started early in October.It is just odd hoe this year has followed 1990 almost to a T patterns-wise. Hopefully that continues as the second half of that month turned out to be pretty warm and stormy for the region.

I definitely agree with that statement. Those two spots are the best CAD spots in the state if not in the Midwest. It's because of there locations where river valleys narrow as they go into the Driftless Area. Land O'Lakes and Manitowish Waters are more because of there latitude and elevation. Both are over 1600' in elevation and are in little valleys right next to their lakes.

Why would you say such a thing?

That is one nice thing about being farther west. When there are troughs like this that are aimed to the east, we can escape the cold a little bit more than say Michigan or Ohio. Those sentences sound like straight out of January.

I'm worried that if we do get these cold temps like the models are saying there is going to be a lot of damaged if not killed plants and crops. Lord knows the farmers don't need anymore issues with the crops, the last two years have been bad enough as is.
