Very rare "Lake Effect Storm" for late summer early fall. A result of this anomalously cool/cold weather spell

4. Yeah unfortunately there like here in North Central IN they are forecasting pretty significant drought conditions

for the foreseeable future. We're gonna warm up close to 90 by midweek but it's going to be a dry desert like heat (for us lol) with dewpoints in the 40's and 50's (which makes 90 much more bearable on the + side) and nighttime lows in the 40's and 50's. That dry heat and actually the cooler dry low temperatures also, zaps the soil moisture content (especially with kind of porous soils these areas have) very quickly. While September>mid November is normally our dry season, a lack of rainfall in July and August is going to exasperate those conditions. I believe they are expecting these drought conditions to last into December unfortunately.

Edit: I haven't had to mow my grass in over 3 weeks and when I go into town (I live in the country) I see a lot of brown lawns already.
