Chambana

4.6” final call. Chicagoland looks locked and loaded for a solid 6-9” event

Probably gonna lose a few inches due to melting and compacting here, still a fast start to winter, none the less! Love to see it

As a wise man ALEK once said “miss north stank”

75 in Champaign

Champaign county with the worst drought conditions observed in the state, virtually the entire county under extreme drought.

I for one would welcome a front loaded winter, the last decade has been dominated by truly awful Decembers. From everything I’m seeing and reading, this year could finally buck the trend.

The other shoe has to drop at some point, hopefully this extremely dry fall leads to a wet winter. Also, the fall foliage is extremely poor around here this year. I’m so disappointed.

Extreme drought conditions observed in central Illinois for the first time since 2012, very little relief in the extended too. It is bone dry out there.

field fire off in the distance from the low humidity and extremely dry conditions. The 17 pro max camera zoom really came in handy here. Extended forecast shows virtually zero precipitation.

Where are you?

With no drought relief on the horizon, IF we have a drier than normal winter, could be an early and very warm spring next year. I have ZERO rain in my forecast the next 10-12 days.

Top Tier weather that looks to continue for the next 7-10 days, it’s incredibly dry though. A welcome change of pace with these temperatures as the last several years the 90s seemed to have lingered well into September. Gotta be the coolest start to September since what? 2013-2014?

Just an incredible stretch of weather for the next 7-10+ days . I ain’t mad about it.

A much needed quality soak this morning, much of Champaign was 7” below normal rainfall for the summer.

96/77/114. It’s disgusting outside.
