Today (Halloween), I ventured around campus to check out some of the "peaked" autumn colors on campus as it was a beautiful afternoon to do so with plentiful sunshine and the thermometer reaching 70 again here in Dekalb. Don't let that fool you for too long. A change is coming! Politically and in terms of the weather. After bathing in a very amplified ridge a deep trough comes through late next week. This could potentially drop a good snow to our northwest and could put us in the line for some thunderstorms as the warm sector arrives and the return of moisture takes place. This storm looks to be the first powerhouse storm for the fall season in the central U.S./Midwest. We'll see what unfolds, but don't be surprised a week from now we have some interesting weather around campus whether it's thunderstorms or a good taste of winter.

Quite a view!
Amazing!

That's all for now. Enjoy the mild fall weather as it's bound not to last too much longer! My prediction is that we'll get our first inch of snow before Thanksgiving this year, we'll see if this prediction becomes reality over the next few weeks.
