Gotta find unique ways to get those clicks until you can start posting 384 hr GFS snowfall maps

0.38" from nice little storm earlier. Had 40mph winds as well.

Late August/Early September is the most pleasant time of year weather wise. It’s goated.

[sbnwx85]

Can’t beat a late summer day with a dewpoint of 46 I tell ya.

81 with 56 dew today. Very nice wx. Down slope wind from the NW kept it a little warmer than inland. And noticed more geese movement. It's that time.

Chilly morning with mid 30's-40's inland, 50's along the shore. Probably isolated frost in some spots.

Agree, early October in Michigan, late October in ohio. nothing better 

[weatherbo]

Cool early fall weather up this way today.  Should only see low-60's for highs with gusty north winds off Superior.  Mid-30's to low 40's depending on location tonight.  Some areas will likely have some patchy frost in the interior.

[cyclone77]

Good sleeping weather here with a low of 53.

[Castaway]

70 with 58 dews. My balls are enjoying this. Good lawn mowing weather

[michsnowfreak]

Beautiful day. Summers winding down fast!

[OrdIowPitMsp]

78/48 another excellent day watching the grass turn brown. 

[Brian D]

Highs in the 60's, maybe a 70. Fall is pushing itself.

Yeah felt like a month or so ahead of schedule here, lake effect rain and a consistent breeze all day.

A lil boredom never hurt.
 

Personally I like these lulls. Makes you appreciate the action even more when it arrives. 
 

imo wall-wall action would get boring quick. Balance ….
 

Just for perspective Chicago’s record for consecutive days with measurable precipitation is 11 days. 1880, 1949

[BeastFromTheEast]

Nice crisp morning in the 50s here today

ARR got down to 51

Rochelle 48!

for sure, TARP system still chewing through all the wastewater from the previous wet period and we're probably good on rain heading into the drier fall season

the weather this time of year has been consistently wonderful, we're blessed
