I have to remind myself that we still haven't had a single hurricane form even after we broke the record on September 11th. It's October 2nd now and no hurricanes in sight. Absolutely unbelievable to still be seeing this. We really might get through this entire season without a single cane.

Wow, what an incredible first post. Please make it your last.

September total 4.24" Highest temp 93, lowest 50.

High of 90 here in upper NW

I was a really big fan of NBC's baseball coverage all year. Having recently retired guys as part of the group calling the game from the stands was a great addition. It's nice to see NBC back in the game for MLB and NBA coverage.

LOVE this skit.

It's gonna be mid-late March weather with extra rain for 4 months.

My numbers for Sept 2026 Averaged high was 80.0 degrees vs a normal of 76.9 degrees, a +3.1 degrees above average. The highest temp recorded for the month was 92.2 degrees on the 5th. Averaged low was 58.1 degrees vs a normal of 53.7 degrees, a +4.4 degrees above average. The coolest temp recorded was 39.0 degrees on the 26th. Overall averaged temp was 69.0 degrees vs a normal of 65.3 degrees, a +3.7 degrees above average. Total precip was 2.27 inches vs a normal of 3.55 inches, -1.28 inches below average. Wettest day was the 13th with 1.19 inches falling. There were 10 days with measurable, 2 days with a 'T' and 18 dry days. Highest wind recorded was 39 mph on the 5th. There were 6 days with winds above 25 mph. Two new record 'warm minimums' on the 13th and 14th and a new daily rainfall record on the 13th. A warm and dry month overall with half the monthly rain falling on one day, with a short cool spell late.

Anchorage had its first measurable snowfall on record for October 1st. The last time Anchorage received a measurable snowfall on or before October 1st was September 29, 2015.

Fairbanks, AK saw the first measurable snow of the season September 30.

We need more Miller Cs! Apparently, those are Sandy-type systems. Hazel in 1954 and 1938 fall under that. However, I have been unable to confirm if "Miller C" is a thing officially, but these are unique -- those systems that get a big boost from a TC phase and the TC itself gets the best of both worlds, derived energy from baroclinic and SSTs so they can remain atypical strong much farther N than you'd expect for a TC in our region. Sandy buried WV up to 36" and up to 48" in VT from the 1804 hurricane and Ginny in 1963 w/ 13" in ME. Double PT for @CoastalWx here!

One thing will be a little bit different this winter. Mayjawintastawm's least favorite model, the No-Accumulation-Model, will be retired this week and will be replaced by some version of the RRFS (not sure if it's the RRFS we're already seeing on the model web sites, or something else.) The NAM had a pretty bad track record for the Front Range winter storms for a while now.

Feb 1983 and March 1993 would disagree w/ you. I say we make a Miller "W" -- those storms that give the max S+ to w/in 5 mi of Weymouth only! Miller As can really tease the Mid-Atlantic weenies, esp. once you get S of DC proper. How many times does it show 20"+ for RIC, and it ends up 3-4" of IP? We don't have that high 1000-500 thk/very cold 850 issue "DA MIX" really in the NEUS.

There are variations of rainfall totals but looks like a good soaking this weekend. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk
