Got down to a low 60.4 this morning for the coolest low since early June. It was great stepping out to a cooler, crisp morning!

Boone COOP hit 40 for a 9/8 record low. Eastern Ashe got upper 30s thanks to a nice little inversion

Mid-September is looking pretty toasty.

Looks awfully dry the next week.
It’s autumn, the driest season of the year in the SE on avg.

Yes that’s true. This time of year we usually have to hope for a tropical system to provide some rain. Last September for instance was extremely wet due to tropical moisture. September probably more than any other month is a feast or famine month in terms of rainfall.

12z EPS is 83-84 here every day next Tues-Fri. So if DP's stay down in the 50's, then no biggie/seasonal Indian summer wx. Which is normal for us mid Sept.
Thank goodness the eps mean isn't as crappy as that op run
Not thrilled about this dry and warm stretch coming up. Upper 80’s isn’t terrible but meh

At least it won’t be very humid. Great weather for outdoor activities !

Still managed to squeeze out 1.1 inches last night

But not nearly as good as if it were 15-20 degrees cooler!

True but at least it will be more pleasant than it was in July !
No more summer crew in shambles

Reidsville is the coldest in the Triad so far, sitting at 47 degrees with an hour or so left before sunrise. Probably alot of 30's up in the valleys/ hollers in the mtns this a.m., possibly Frost scattered around.
Boone close this morning. I'm sure there are some other valley locations with frost this morning.
48.2 yesterday morning.
49.7 this morning.
49.7 this morning.

Tracking tropical systems is exciting but I'll pick a cool beautiful pattern any day. I'm also looking forward to tracking the first widespread frost.
Another record low for them. 54 here for the coolest morning yet
Lately, the first frost at KRDU has been occurring around Halloween on average. With the below normal temperatures that have been holding court for the past month or so, I'm thinking that it might come earlier this year if this pattern continues. Maybe we'll see the first frost when the State Fair is in town this year. It's been a while since that has happened.
Eastern JoCo is DRY. Sounds like I repeat this every year at this time. Kenly/Smithfield have missed out on any rain for quite some time and corn/other crops are looking rough. A match in my yard right now would set off the entire neighborhood.
Sweatember indeed

I’m not sure where all this rain is coming from but it looks wet for much of the southeast later this month.

If this is from the CPC (?), they might well buy into the idea of a tropical system as they seem to be favoring the GFS/GEFS over Euro/EPS that have nothing. They have a highlighted area that suggests they think CAG development could occur on another one of their packages.
Though I will say that some of those ensemble runs I've seen go to Louisiana if they develop at all.
Corn came into season 6 weeks ago. Can't cut it until the moisture gets low enough which is why it didn't start in earnest until ~2 weeks ago.
Depends on when it was planted, some early already being harvested, late plant is just now hitting its stride but being stunted by lack of rain.

Jason Simpson (out of Birmingham) was posting about the possibility of a flash drought across the region over the next week or so with hot/dry weather

I can see it especially along the Mississippi River.

Yeah, loving the cool evenings, or cooler anyway, but the lower humidity brings with it no rain, like only a ten minute downpour the other day, and that's been it for a long while. I'm willing to trade rain for cool, for a while, but water is a necessity for life, lol, and cool is just necessary for sanity.

It rained 0.03" here the other day but that's all the rain we've had in the last 2 weeks.
I know this is too hot, but Jesus this would suck

Yeah, it’s probably not likely this verifies, but it looks as if we’re about to pay in a big way for only having maybe 1 week of normal summer in August.
Probably another 7-10 day stretch at least of consistent 90s with it being late enough that it’s slightly above average.
Oh well…I can remember during that disappointing Braves NLDS in 2019, that it was near record heat for early October.
Edit: and on the plus side, maybe it can rain for the first time in a few weeks in this time period, I whiffed on the storms from Saturday night.
This mist might end up as my biggest rain in weeks
