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.

November will be rockin'

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.

Fortunately there are several indications that we are about to end up in a much more active pattern potentially starting next week. And with a still well-above average Gulf, could get interesting here for storms. The fact that, unless something stupid happens, we are going to have a Gulf like that with no TCs to cool it down before storm season kicks up is going to make things interesting for moisture availability the next couple months imo.

Man it has been a boring stretch lately, I mean I guess the other shoe drops and we have an active winter but it has been quite a quiet run.

Starting with April every month has been below normal in precipitation at GRR including this month so far.  The deficit starting with April is not as bad as some places but still a hefty 8.07" below normal since April 1.
