I agree. This is the most impressive weather event in our lifetime. I bet there hasnt been this kind of heat in the last 500 years !Like @GaWx mentioned, this is an amazing stretch. I am past being ready for the cooler weather. However, stepping back and just seeing what is occurring, this is a once in a lifetime (I hope!) event. While the Blizzard of 93 was amazing, in some ways, this current event is every bit as amazing, and is some ways, probably more so.
Yes, I want the fall weather - and ultimately some snow, but what a remarkable stretch this has been for so late in the season! I don't ever recall seeing record temps which simply shatter the old record temps by several degrees. And that is why I love the weather ... and visiting this site. Again, I am grateful for the resident experts who share their knowledge with those of us who are just weather geeks!
I hate to quote JB, but he is correct ... you need to enjoy the weather, it is the only weather you got!
That's what we like to see.This CAD looks like one of those where’s it gonna be full of low clouds and drizzle, especially the more west you go, you know it’s been terrible when you want drizzle, but anyways that moist layer at lower levels will allow those low clouds View attachment 24233
Ya know, I mean why not? There are really no adjectives to describe how crazy it would be for the all time record to have occurred in OctoberRdu is at 96. The all time record is 105.....just sayin

That would be equivalent to the all time low occurring in April !Ya know, I mean why not? There are really no adjectives to describe how crazy it would be for the all time record to have occurred in October
Im not even referring to the drought. I meant the insane heat given the time of year.I still think 93 was more impressive in my opinion. I’m sure we will see a drought like this again but 93 was more rare.

Obviously that's no going to happen, we will run out of daylight but if we would've just had this ridge in July.... what could've beenYa know, I mean why not? There are really no adjectives to describe how crazy it would be for the all time record to have occurred in October

We have had droughts before in the fall but never had this kind of heat to go along with it. Why is it so different this time ?The drought is a big reason why we are having this heat.

Shane posted above it was 96 and I think I saw it was 97 briefly, so I'm not gonna say it doesn't happen just yet95 at RDU at 1. All time October high of 98 looks safe.
