September Sizzling Summer Segway

[SETNwx]

Good grief. Even way down in Columbus, GA was cooler than you.

Airport is always the warmest temp in the region.. even downtown temps are usually a degree or two cooler. But, that's the NWS official weather station for you..

According to the NWS, Atlanta is forecast to be 69 today and Chattanooga 78 ? I don't understand why Atlanta will be so much cooler.

This is just one of those times where the cool air didn't come south until it moved into the northeast and fed down the east side of the mountains. Chattanooga was blocked from initially getting the drier air partially because of the storm in the gulf and the mountains to the east. Normally when those big high pressures come out of Canada they hit Chattanooga first, then have to make their way over and around the mountains, this was kind of the opposite. If I'm wrong on this, which is possible, I'll be corrected I'm sure.

Also:

Atlanta: 1057'
Chattanooga: 676

Yeah, this is classic backdoor front...

What is that dashed line extending from Nashville to Pittsburgh ?

 

[J.C.]

I've known for a while that they represented a trough, but I found something that explains it a little further.

 

[SETNwx]

Incidentally, this is why in winter ATL can get ice storms in CAD situations, and CHA will be 33-34 and rain...

This looks solid at H5/H25 for severe but the sfc/low levels are so lackluster.... you would at least think a QLCS is possible with this look, neg tilted trough

Let's go

 

[Chazwin]

So I was noticing that the record low maximum for today in CLT is 72 and there is a forecast high of 70. Goes to show how unusual this airmass is for this early in the season

Leconte should hit their first freeze tonight since May 13th:

Yea it’s basically early November weather in mid-late September. Pretty insane.

My pumpkins had better grow fast.

This long NE wind event has started flooding some of the flood prone creeks in NC. Went to New Bern today and union point park had some decent water picking up. Part of the river walk was under water and some decent waves action going on.

My pumpkins have gone berserk mode the last few days.

Yep, similar to a CAD setup where Atlanta can get ice while Chattanooga gets rain.

The rain from Sally really made my Seminole pumpkins grow. I hope all the new ones have time to grow as well. The pretty much grow from dime size to football sized in two weeks.
