Pattern Octorchber

Seems like the two camps are the closer to the coast development which remains close and even risks coming inland or the farther out to sea development that stays out and eventually moves quicker. Captain obvious, I know.

Cold can make it from Knoxville over the 6500 ft Smokies into NC no problem, but forget about it making it down the 1000 ft drop at the Saluda Grade. Cold hates South Carolina.

Biggest issue y'all have is the highest mountains are directly to your NW. It actually does have a hard time getting over if it's a shallow air mass. Seen it too many times to count in winter where an air mass makes it over the mountains in far northern NC and Virginia and turns south on a straight line from about Winston Salem to Florence SC while places like Anderson and Greenville are stuck in the old airmass. It'll eventually bleed over for y'all but has always fascinated me watching it do that. I've been in Columbia and felt a cool change come from the N/NE on a frontal passage coming W to E before it eventually overcame the mountains.

What kind of station is that from? Love the chart

It’s called Homegar. It’s a cheap 40$ or so weather station with just the basics but I love the charts. It lays out the current days temps and compares them to the day before.You can do daily , 30 days or every day since it was set up. I believe you can have up to 3 sensors.

The temperature is delightful outside tonight. This is the way Fall is supposed to feel. It is wonderful not seeing high temperatures anywhere in the extended forecast in the eighties. RIP to the Summer of 2026 which dragged on way too long.

The upcoming week is coming in significantly cooler and drier vs what was progged by models 5 days ago thanks to the NE flow due to the persistent offshore of E coast storm that wasn’t there on runs 5 days ago.
 
Still learning about our Brevard rental and how it compares to our build in Cedar mountain, nc 15 minutes away .

Rental location near the Davidson River and Pisgah .

Rental (2000 feet ) 30.2F
Brevard (downtown 2220 32F 3 miles away )
Home build Cedar mountain (DuPont Forest / Above Fawn lake 3100 feet) 37F

Talking about cold air pooling. Wow

Cold air pooling is happening outside the mountains as well. I got down to ~37 this morning and didn't see any frost or ice on car tops. I'm sitting on a hill ridge (~460'). My dad lives two miles down the road from me and sits in a low area (~320' -- holler?) and has patchy frost in his front yard. I never benefit from these setups.
 
About as beautiful and comfortable a full late Oct week as is possible for outdoor activities is in the cards this week for a large portion of the SE away from E NC with lots of sunshine, high temps in the 60s-70s, mainly 15 mph or lower winds after today, and dewpoints down in the 30s-40s. We can thank persistent mainly N to NE winds resulting from three sprawling areas of Canadian high pressure centered to our NE, helped by persistent low pressure offshore the E coast especially the first half of this week. Enjoy it while you can, especially with the amount of rainfall expected Nov-March due to the very strong Nino.

Several days here this week will be pushing 80, although mornings will be well down into the 40s.

I expect high 70s and possibly ~80 on some days in S GA. If Americus does get to upper 70s to ~80, it would likely be with a RH of no more than ~25% making for awesome afternoons! This is autumn wx at its finest.
 
I need to check my sensor on my outdoor digital thermometer. It was showing 32 degrees this morning at sunrise. The mercury thermometer under my carport was showing 41 degrees which is much closer to reality. It got cold overnight but it wasn't freezing cold. A mercury thermometer is a good back up plan for people who rely on digital weather stations.
 
The many upcoming chilly nights throughout the SE that have started will accelerate the autumn leaf changes everywhere, even at the many locations where it’s too warm for frost.

Is anyone seeing significant colors yet? I expect higher elevations almost certainly are, but what about those at 1,000 feet or lower? Here, the deciduous trees are almost all still green. By the end of the week, however, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few starting to change even this far SE near sea level.

It has become really noticeable the past week.

Not much color yet, but my pool robots are working OT to keep up with the falling leaves and acorns. No bugs, though!
