1994: A nor’easter wreaked havoc on coastal MD. 50-mph winds (gusts to 79 mph) destroyed 100’s of tents/vending areas at the end-of-summer Sunfest in Ocean City. Windblown fires burned several shops along the boardwalk; 9 foot waves flooded other areas. Damage up to $5 million. (Ref. Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA) I think I remember this-- did we have 5-5.50 inches of very heavy rainfall during this? I remember this because I was on I-80 in NJ when this happened. I also remember an August noreaster which gave us very heavy rain during the 90s. There was even some snow reported on Mt Washington in that one.

Hope no one uninstalled

Yup, still cloudy here....12Z WB NBM thru Wed. Bring in rains tomorrow afternoon.

1978-79 was one of the coldest winters on record nationally, we might never see that kind of extensive cold ever again.

Looks like it’s cloudier west of 95 on satellite. I’m assuming it thins out as milder air moves in.

Peak Season Forecast (Aug 20-Oct 20) Named Storms: 10 (2) Hurricanes: 6 (1) Major Hurricanes: 3 (1) Fernand, Gabrielle (MH) Thank you Gabby! More likely on the way.

Yeah and it's almost comical how quickly the changeover comes in.

lol, I enjoy the seasons, but the older I get the less enthused I am about stratus clouds.

1995: A strong cold front pushed across the Midwest, bringing with it one of the earliest freezes on record. In Iowa, temperatures dipped to as low as 24° over the northwest and sub-freezing temperatures lasted nearly eight hours. Crop maturation was behind schedule so this freeze caused significant damage, with soybeans the hardest hit. About $195 million dollars worth of soybeans were lost. Drought had already taken its toll on the corn crop so the freeze did not aversely affect the corn too much.Chicago, IL experienced their earliest freeze on record as the mercury dipped to 32°. The low of 29° tied the record low for the month of September at Dodge City, KS. Further north, Jump River and Cashton, WI head their earliest measurable snowfall on record with 1.5 inches and 0.5 of an inch respectively. Other daily record lows included: Rapid City, SD: 19°, Bismarck, ND: 20°, Aberdeen, SD: 20°, Valentine, NE: 23°, Fargo, ND: 23°-Tied, Huron, SD: 24°, North Platte, NE: 24°, Scottsbluff, NE: 24°, Grand Island, NE: 25°, Sioux City, IA: 25°, Norfolk, NE: 26°, Lincoln, NE: 27°, Concordia, KS: 29°, Goodland, KS: 30°-Tied, Omaha, NE: 31°, Topeka, KS: 31°, Des Moines, IA: 31°, Kansas City, MO: 31 °F. (Ref. Additional Temperatures Listed On This Link) 1995-96 was showing its hand about how historic that winter was about to become.... JFK: 91 (1980) 1980's historic heat ended on a high note!

Really took off. GREAT for my forecast lol.

it's been mostly sunny here today, very deep blue skies

1980 was also one of our hottest summers and also extremely hot nationally. Which was the driest summer during the 1980s Don?

What looked like a slam dunk for 1-3 inches of rain now looks like less impressive and generally less than an inch. We'll take it but I was hoping for a good soaking

Were some pokes of sun but now mostly cloudy

As soon as the sun started ducking behind the tree's by me yesterday, temps started to drop enough to warrant a hoodie while being outside with the breeze.

No. The low at Mount Pocono was 48° as clouds moved in. Yes. For the Northeast it was the driest, but not for New York City. September 1, 1980-August 31, 1981 was the driest such period in New York City during the 1980s with 34.83" of rain.

(David Ludlum) 1974: Canadian high pressure brought record chill from the upper Midwest to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Temperatures dropped below freezing for three consecutive nights damaging crops in areas. In Illinois, frost killed almost all of the soybean crop and 40% of the corn crop north of I-80. Total statewide damage was estimated between $200 and $400 million dollars. Necedah and Mauston, WI recorded their coldest September temperatures on record with 18° and 20° respectively.

Damage in northwest Florida was estimated at $150 million. About 20,000 people were evacuated in advance. Two weak tornadoes and several waterspouts were reported in the Panhandle. As the storm moved north, high winds and heavy rains led to power outages, damage and flooding. Parts of Alabama were without electricity for two weeks. The remnants moved through the Mid-Atlantic bringing flooding rains of 3 to 10 inches. Two miles south-southeast of Westminster, MD picked up 14.23 inches. The highest rainfall was a week before when Eloise passed north of Puerto Rico. Dos Bocas received 33.29 inches. (Ref. Wilson Wx.

Stifling.

48.4 this morning. As for the shallow nature of fake cold, my old house was in a low spot in the area and radiated very well. My current house is on top of a hill and doesn’t radiate nearly as well. Not as fun

Enjoy it while we can. Looks kind of cold to start October.

I feel discriminated against
