Stuck at 41F here all day under thick clouds... We'll probably clear out this evening.

Lots of sticks in the yard, but nothing huge. Mowed the lawn...wind has really eased this afternoon. Still didn't strip the tree entirely bare.

Today could be LAF's first sub 50º high temp since March 28th. It'll be close though, as KIND is calling for a high of 48º and well, LAF sucks.

Looks like our high actually will be 50 since that's where we were at midnight. Daytime temps have stayed in the upper 40's.

Cleared out to the west...can see the snow:

Looks like October will end up a tad above average temperature wise for most places in the Midwest. Here in Cleveland we've continued the streak and are now at 15 straight months without a negative temperature departure.

I completely blanked that it was 50º at midnight. So the "cheap" 50º high will make my prior post moot. Still a fairly chilly day.

Forecast low of 25 tonight, first hard freeze likely for downtown Madison itself. 40F currently, clouds clearing out, winds calming down

[daddylonglegs]

37F here.. My gauge shows 34F already... I got to grab a few covers to put over some plants.

Nice lake effect band here now, it's really dumping (rain) outside. A few more weeks and it'll be the white gold!

[cyclone77]

Already 31 here, which ties for the coldest of the season. With another 7+hrs to drop, it sure looks like we'll end up in the 21-24 range.

[daddylonglegs]

30.5F in my yard

[turtlehurricane]

32F at MSN as of 1 am. Starting to get freezes earlier and earlier at night as the season progresses. Dewpoint at 26F, I expect good things

[daddylonglegs]

24F on my gauge...27F at the airport.

[Chicago WX]

Freeze Warning fail here, although the overcast and winds staying up a bit overnight made it a moot point. Of course we've had three lows at or below 32º prior, so it figures when they actually put us under the FW, it would whiff.

[daddylonglegs]

Clouds probably took too long to clear out last night? Our winds were calm this morning. Whats funny is my yard that was mowed yesterday is full of leaves this morning. All that wind couldn't make the leaves fall, but mid 20's sure did the trick. My dahlias look like they are melted.

Only got into the upper 20s at MSN. Up into the low 40s now.

Long range GFS is spitting out teens.

Massive difference between LAF and Terre Haute. We only got to 37 while HUF got to 26.

Good luck with that.

Like DT said.. The GFS all winter and in to spring will be spitting out numerous false alerts of cold air and or pattern change in the central and eastern conus.. My guess its doing it now and that cool air or pattern change its been showing almost every run is going to be stuck right there in the 300's for a while yet.
