I do tend to think it will cool down by month's end. How much cooler, that's another note

Holy Moses! Unless you're 65 or older, you haven't. Actually, it is even more impressive than that. Since records started back in 1879, the ENTIRE month of Sept. has had 98+ as KATL's hottest of the month in only 3 years: 1925 (8 days of 98+!!), 1941 (1 day of 99), and 1954 (2 days of 98). And by the way, don't forget that today's high may turn out even hotter than 98! So, if it gets to 99, you'd have to be 78 or older to have lived through the last time it was this hot there anytime in Sept!

KATL's high ended up to be an incredible 99! So, that is the hottest there for ANY Sept day since way back in 1941, when there was one day of 99 on 9/8. Besides 1941, the only other year with 99+ in Sep back at least to 1879 was 1925.
Since at least 1879, there has been only one day later in the season with 99 and that was in 1925 on surprisingly quite a late date, 9/20.
So, you'd have to be 94 or older to have been able to witness a day as hot as today's 99 this late in the season at KATL!

When is the last time ATL hit triple digits this late in year?
 
GaWx said:
Yep, a big snow actually did occur in ATL and other SE locations 3/2/1942. That was during the waning after a moderate to weak El Nino.

I used to look thru the scapbook when I was a kid and dream about seeing snow like those pictures. Grandmother said it was up to the trolley steps, and we all know how high that is, lol. Mother said at Weslynn in Macon they took cafeteria trays out to sled on. Maybe this a portent of another trolley step storm :)
 
94 degrees @ 6pm tonight on the soccer fields chasing a pack of 7 year olds was rough. The ground is so dry though and humidity is pretty low so it could have been worse. Looking at the extended this might be the hottest fall soccer season ever.
 
This looks like a repeat of last September. The GFS (especially the latest runs) keeps hinting/showing some cooler air but it's more from weak CAD events or rain episodes. I'm looking for that first crisp fall day with dew points in the 40s/50s area wide.
 
Please make it stop :). 97 degrees today slated for Franklin, TN. We have had 78 days in the 90’s this year and all seven days of the local seven day forecast call for between 92 and 97. “Normal” is 48 days of 90 are over for the whole year. We will nearly double that norm. WTH? I know we are not alone...of course no rain.
 
This heat is just ridiculous. Predicted heat index of 104 just cancelled my daughter's golf match this afternoon. Golf cancelled. In September.

Did Michael flip the pattern last year?

Yes. I don't remember how but we were talking about good riddance to both him and summer last year.

And well, that's some of the most unfortunate news that I heard today. So, we have to get a hurricane in which it's destination is similar to Michael (even if not homegrown) to have a shot at cooling down. Man that sucks.

Looking at the GFS through the 25th when the hurricane hit the cold front was able to push in but the past two runs the hurricane doesn’t hit and the cold front seems to stall. Is the hurricane not hitting the reason the cold front stalls?
 
I wouldn't be surprised if RDU goes all of September without a low temperature <60°F for the second year in a row. We used to hit the upper 40s for lows on occasion in late September, I really miss those days.

I think its not as simple as the hurricane landfalling but more like how hurricanes (or actually cyclones period) are absorbed into the atmosphere can determine what the pattern is gonna be over a longer period.

There is a very strange substance falling from the sky in liquid form. I vaguely recall seeing this happen before.

ATL needed this like nobody’s business.

Get used to it, it’s going to be that consistency for the next 5 months!?

sounds like a rock n' roll show from the late '60's or early 70's

Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
 
What is this strange wet stuff I see all over the ground? It's completely foreign to me.

I even saw a couple of these weird yellow dots nearby on this site called real time lightning.

Hmmm, talk about a mystery...:eek:

It would be nice if a hurricane can change the SER so it's not a pest for winter. One can hope lol.
 
So far BNA (Nashville) has had 78 days of 90+ this year. I think the record is 96 days, and you wouldn't think we would have 18 more days of 90s this late in the year, but who knows.
 
Totally astounded to have received .5" of rain today, would never have believe it.
