Current climatic conditions

[injinji]

We've had a couple three days with no rain. And today looked like it was going to be the same. Then out of the blue a thunderstorm dumped on us for an hour or so. I looked at the radar and it was just over us. My little town is 7 road miles away and has 2 weather underground sites. It didn't rain at either of them.

And we did get down into the 60's night before last. I slept late and missed it. But there is a cold front coming in Friday morning. I will be looking forward to it. The first two weeks of September is always really hot.

At 2040 it's clear, 77F with 88% humidity. Forecast low of 71F with 15% chance of rain tonight, and 60% tomorrow.

We were back into the 60's this morning. Low of 65F, and I got outside in time to enjoy some of it. Tonight is a camp night, so I will get to experience all of it.

At 1600 it's sunny, 86F with 38% humidity. Tonight's low is forecast for 65F with 10% chance of rain, and tomorrow's high is 88F. Pretty much a copy of today.

The center of the latest tropical depression may be 50 miles from Lake Charles, but the outer bands of rain have reached me here on the sandhill. At 1320 it's raining, 74F with 90% humidity. Forecast high low of 80/71F with 100% chance of rain today, 80% tonight and tomorrow. 10 day high low of 85/67F with 8 days of possible rain. So much for drying out. (last night was the first time I had used the driveway at the riverhouse for 3-4 weeks. The river hasn't had a big flood, but it's stayed high enough just to make me wade.

Stop me if you have heard this one before. At 1320 it's raining, 74F with 90% humidity. Forecast high low of 79/71F with 90% chance of rain today, 40% tonight and 90% tomorrow.

Happy first day of fall. But I think the world must be broken. My length of day is 12 hours 8 minutes. Oh well.

Cold front is moving in tonight. Temps will be in the 50's in the AM. It's clear, 74F with 70% humidity. Looks like we have 7-8 days with no rain.

Northern Colorado checking in with daytime temps in the 70s, nights in the 50s, light breezes, sunshine for days and days and days...

And fall colors!

We have all that except the colors. Well, it did get in the low 80's but there was such low humidity it wasn't bad.

Hot muggy weather has returned. It got up to 89F today. At 2345 it's clear, 74F with 96% humidity. Forecast low of 67F with no chance of rain tonight. Ten day high low is 89/60F with three days of possible rain, Monday through Wednesday.

Been perfect weather for the farmers harvesting the corn this year in Central Illinois. Mid 80Fs and low humidity for the past month. A little wet in June so the beans were planted late. But the harvest will be a bin buster. Almost perfect conditions all year long, It's been dry and some rain this weekend. +210 bu an acer on corn I bet.

The farm to the south of me has been picking peanuts all week. They got lucky with the weather. No rain the last week or so.

At 1530 it's sunny, 82F with 55% humidity. Forecast low of 63F with 7% chance of rain tonight. No real chance of rain in the ten day forecast. Would have loved to have had some of this sun before I'm down to three or four little knee high late season plants.

84F at 5:25pm in central Illinois first day without measurable rain in the last ten Tomorrow looks like more rain. We already have our average for the month but fall can bring some deluges. Good for me because I have been planting grass seed. Bad for farmers though.

We've had several summer like days, with today being one of them. It got up to 85F before the cold front blew in. Now at 2355 it's clear, 59F with 59% humidity. Forecast low of 50F with no chance of rain tonight, and a high low of 74/48F tomorrow.

Wet wet wet. We're supposed to have a wind event later. I got everything that can blow away stowed away. Looks like Northern California is going to get hit hard. They need the rain but too much at one time leads to mudslides and flash floods. The freezing level is rising so precipitation will be falling as rain even at higher elevations. It's going to get sporty out west today. High wind gusts with power outages predicted from limbs falling on power lines. I tested the generator yesterday. It started on the second pull so I'm ready.

Here in Central Illinois we are to get 3"to 4" of rain today. Started around 7am and will rain all day with the heavy stuff coming at the end near midnight. Flash Flood watches have been up since yesterday as we are already at twice the normal rain for the month. Should be a good test of my heavy rainfall runoff diversion projects I undertook this summer as the ground is already saturated.

I've been seeing talk about it on my weather channels on You Tube all week. With all the fires, mudslides are almost a given.

At 1130 it's fair, 79F with 63% humidity. Forecast high low of 84/66F with a 15% chance of rain today and 25% tonight. It was 53F this morning.

I'm breaking in a new pack, and somehow my base layer got misplaced. I grabbed another one, and found out when I went on midnight ramble it wasn't designed for cold weather.

It's been absolutely gorgeous in northern Colorado over the past several weeks; tee shirt and jeans for hiking in the mountains while taking in the fall colors.

Today looks like a change; 60s and a splatter of rain.

Time to get the hot tub ready for winter!

 

[injinji]

It's been cooler today. At 2020 it's clear, 61F with 75% humidity. Tonight's low is 51F with no chance of rain. Warmer tomorrow with rain tomorrow night.

 

[ttystikk]

Last night and today was a bit windy; 30-40mph, gusts into the 50s. High was 56, low tonight 38.

Looks like I got the tub serviced and running right on time.
