He ends up wrong about 95% of the time. He could live at the bottom of the ocean and still not get wet enough.

if it were not for all of this rain I got, it would be so dry. Why it have to almost be so dry??!

This has been one of the wettest years ever but some how we’ve been going through that proposed drought all year long. If it physically doesn’t have water dropping from the sky he’s going to say we’re going to have a drought.

Expect dry to be theme verse wet this winter east of the apps . A lot of NW flow on the way.

Correct me if I am wrong (and I am certain someone will), but isn't October typically the driest month of the year for at least most, if not all, of the southeast?
Yes and no. On average, it is the driest, but typically it is not the driest.
CHA for example, averages 3.14" of precip in October (next driest month on average is September with 3.60"). But year to year, October has been the driest month in only 23% of years since records were kept. In 77% of years, a month other than October turned out to be the driest. So, yes and no. Depends on how you look at it.

October is usually an extremely dry month. It isn't unheard of to go the entire month without a drop of rain.
Interestingly enough Oct 15-19 have all been above normal precip at RDU with the Matthew year obviously being ++++++
Yep. This goes back to what I said the other day I think 1/3rd of our avg precip during hurricane season is tied to tropical systems remove those and we are having a dry year
Can’t remember the rain total but 2017 Nate knocked the power out for week here from the Wilkes tornado.
Yes and no. On average, it is the driest, but typically it is not the driest.

Looks like Nate ‘17 did about 5-10” back this way. Prob why the tornado uprooted so many trees.
Starting to get a feeling that we’re not done with the heat, I could see that trough to the north messing around with this tho

I think a lot of that heat is from the hurricane blowing in air from the Caribbean...should the track change..I bet cooler air could win over. I don’t believe the gfs bringing it that far inland

Went on a 45 minute run earlier today, absolutely perfect weather to be outside.
Can’t make this up, it’s almost like it’s a new normal to see summer in fall, lol ?

Yeah those are warm, but not anything crazy. We’ll typically see a little run of 80s during October

70’s were nice the last few days, but I am already looking at the low to mid 90s around here today. Thankfully another cold front will be moving in tonight to knock us back to fall tomorrow.
It's not uncommon to have a bout of warm weather in the fall. Happened all the time growing up. Hard to be in the 60s every day.

Hopefully it will be more like a pleasantly warm spell as oppose to the heat waves we had the last few fall seasons. I'll gladly take 80 for highs and 50-55 for lows.
Euro says here is the coldest morning of the season at D10

If this is the worst of it(after today) that's nothing considering we've been in the 90s every year I've been here
Could use more rain though unlike east of here October is one of our wettest months

While all of you get to enjoy some of the nice weather up north, Southern Florida will be receiving a host of weather issues for next two weeks.
The main issue right now is coastal flooding along the beaches that’s been going on for about a month. I took a drive along Highway A1A that runs along between the beaches and intercostal waters yesterday to check it out. There are multiple parking lots, small houses, and roads under a foot of water from North Miami to Deerfield Beach. The worst of it is near Miami. My friend in Dania Beach has had constant flooding in the parking garage of his condo. Last year we had some of the highest waters I’ve ever seen, but it looks like it’ll be worse this year as we head into October and November. This is a video from last week.
Next we have a frontal boundary that’s stalling around South Florida for the next 5 days, and that’s going to hit someone with a 6” lollipop. Then all attention turns to the tropics, and I don’t know WTF is going to happen in 10 days. The chances of certain demise is always around 100% in 2020.

Maybe Mack was the reason it was warm....
Anybody got that EPS from 240-384 interested to see how it handles the NW trough
Well that sucks
Bravo on the thread title
Let’s get all of that out of our system before it matters
No cold til Christmas
