Pattern Hotober

What's really crazy is that after todays hot temps, we might be talking about the first widespread frost/freeze this time next week. Here's the day 10 dewpoints. If we can get some clear calm nights (and with the dry ground) frost is quite possible. **edit: day 11

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 yet

The high thus far at KRDU is 96 or 97 based on the 5 minute obs (depending on rounding errors). It briefly cooled down to 95F at the time of the hourly report. That record is in serious jeopardy.

And at KATL, it rose from 8 at 11 AM's 88 to an amazing 92 already at noon. The record high for one month earlier, Sept 3, is 98, which believe it or not, looks to be challenged! That's right, the record high for one month earlier looks to be challenged!! I can't get over this amazing stretch of wx and today may turn out to be the most amazing of the amazing stretch. Some of our grand and great grandparents likely talked about how they had to endure the great late heat of Sep., 1925. Now we'll have that same opportunity to talk about the great very late heat of 2019![/QUOT
We're reliving the 1920s.
 
I hate to say it, but this kinda feels like a "dry" heat if there ever was an NC version of one. Dew point has fallen to 59F at KCLT. Still really hot but at least you can sweat to cool off. Our extremely low soil moisture especially in the western piedmont is helping us out in a big way.
 
KATL rose another 3 last hour and it got to 95 at 1 PM! They're only 3 away from the record high of 98 for the 3rd...……...for Sept 3rd! This is certifiably insane stupid heat!
 
KATL's low this morning was 75. Should this hold up, it will be a new Oct record high low beating the 74s set the last 2 days! Before 2019, the record high low for Oct was 73.
 
And the CAD for Saturday is looking fantabulous as well, probably see NWS trim a few degrees off those high temp forecast. Near 100 today and in the 60's Saturday, I'm gonna need a coat
 
If it keeps showing up, next weekend’s frontal boundary will be more in line with my white line. With a slow, painful push

So it’s official RDU broke its all time record of 98 for October and hit 99. 100 maybe ? 101? We will find out by this evening .
 
Up another degree to 96 at RDU at 1. Maybe we can get a 3 degree spike between hours to save us!
