Rainy conditions October 1st.

A large pretty impressive slow moving area of low pressure has brought us Cold, Wet and Windy weather the past 2 days, I actually found it kinda odd in how quickly the weather changed from Frost and Freeze on Wednesday, To Rain Thursday, I always remembered in the past normally after we had frost it always seemed to stay sunny for a few days afterwords but this time we this system move in the next day!

It looks like everyone in the 6 county area picked up good rainfall totals, Most places pick up at least an inch of rain, and Radar estimates that some locations pick up as much as 3 inches in the Grantsburg/Siren area! This rain will definitely help out drought conditions a bit. The heaviest rain came overnight Thursday Night, Then Friday the area had wrap around scattered showers and drizzle, The clouds and rain really held temps down, We had highs in the low 50s and even upper 40s, And winds from the East were pretty strong gusting to 25MPH at times, Many people starting there heat for the 1st time this season, including us, It’s that time of year again!

Here at my backyard between Thursday and Saturday Afternoon we’ve picked up 2.60″ of rain so a Wet start to October, and We might even be dealing with another System on Monday/Tuesday already, I will have a forecast out some time this weekend.
