You will not get an argument from me that one can post anything now a days and data can be skewed to support multiple sides of a debate. Although, it would be hard to argue it has been an unusually pleasant week in many midwest locales for the last week of August. Remove the jargon listed above and think of how many people recall sweltering as the kids headed back to school and how refreshing this is as a contrast. And it does appear Lexington, KY did set a record for chill: NWS Louisville @NWSLouisville · 9h As of 5:15 AM, Blue Grass Field in Lexington has hit a low of 46 degrees (it may go colder!). This breaks the daily record of 49 from 1968. It is the lowest August temperature in Lexington since August 29th, 1986. #kywx

Dew point of 46 is crazy for August. I’m not sure we’ve ever had an extended pattern this chilly and dry during meteorological summer.

dude, just till that shit up, plant some trees and let nature take its course. be done with it, obviously you can't grow grass there.

You may never mow again

After Steingust we head into Steintember.

Looks like another round ready to commence.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. Though, he might if he was wearing a coat.

probably won't have to mow again this season at this rate.

0.12” at home today.

Wait are you being sarcastic? Unless he sprinted them there's no way he's be sweating at 45 degrees lol

Holy shit

I have calculated the ending average temperature for here in East Nantmeal Township using the current NWS Forecast. If the forecast temperatures verify - this will be the chilliest August since my records begin here from back in 2004 across 22 years of data.

going to need more than 0.14" to get some green again

You'd probably work up a sweat at 45 degrees too, that's a big workout.

Three laps around the office parking lot and I worked up a sweat. When the wind dies down and the sun pops out you can FEEL it.

There’s people on twitter who think that just because it’s a La Niña it HAS to be above normal in ACE and named storms. As we all know on here, that’s just not the case, just like it doesn’t HAVE to be below normal when there’s an El Niño

Brought in the patio cushions for nothing.

Feel free to use any of my stuff, just reference the blog...all I ask.

Pea-sized hail in West Concord. Low-level lapse rates are cool

Storm trying to pop around Norwell it looks like

Yup...just my opinion. We'll see, but Like Chris said, late seasons have been active and protracted. PS: Not every hurricane season is going to be active, nor is every active season going to be 2005 or 2020.

F off

Years ago, we ran strong -QBO against cold ENSO and there number of cold Decembers with fast starts was pretty significant. 1956, 1970, 1974, 1981, 1983, 1989, 2000, 2005, 2007, 2011, 2017, 2021 The only duds in that group are 1974, 2011, and 2021....and 2021 was a weird one with extreme bitter cold in Canada not that far away from the northern tier of CONUS. Only '74 and '11 had true awful death vortex pattern.

Aaaand its gone.
