Actually it's DirecTV, not dish network.

If you're a big NFL fan, I highly recommend getting the Sunday Ticket. It's great being able to watch any game you want. Looking forward to that Chiefs-Broncos game today.

Everyone talking about the humidity and yes it's high for this time of year, but it's still nothing compared to the type of humidity we get in the summer when we have oppressive dewpoints in the 70s. Everyone is different, but to me a dewpoint of 64 doesn't feel bad at all. The humidity doesn't start feeling uncomfortable to me until the dewpoint gets to the low 70s. I went for a 7 mile run last night and didn't feel the 64 dewpoint one bit. In fact I liked it because it was nice that it felt warm enough out to be able to run with just a t-shirt on at night this time of year.

I think 75 to 80 is a good possibility for this week. Maybe not quite to 80, but I think there's a good chance my area will hit 77 or 78 wednesday or thursday this week. Great October weather!

Completely agree. Hopefully the warm pattern will last a long time this Fall to keep the growing season going and for outdoor activities like hiking, leaf raking and outdoor dining. Then hopefully it will flip to a colder pattern to get some snow in December.

36 was the low here too. As expected, everything in the vegetable garden is just fine. And now no frost/freeze in sight for a long time as we go into a very warm pattern.

Yeah, I've always noticed that a little frost doesn't do much damage to the vegetable garden. It usually takes an actual freeze to end the growing season. We have a frost advisory here and the temp could get down to about 36 tonight, but I'm not too worried. My pole lima beans are producing like crazy right now, and I'm hoping they can keep going for at least 2 more weeks. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplants are still producing decently too. The light frost threat tonight shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, next week looking like an amazing week with that ridge. 70 degree weather all week. Could be the last week of the season for outdoor activities in consistently warm temps.

Looking like high temps upper 60s to around 70 all next week. Very mild pattern except for a brief cool shot at the end of this week.

Looks as if this is mainly a morning event monday? NAM is showing very heavy rain during the morning, but only a little light rain during the afternoon.

It looks as if you'll have to go well to the north and west to see frost with the late week cool shot. Lows here are expected to be in the low-mid 40s. Nothing to write home about for October. Then a mild pattern for awhile, as you mentioned. So thankfully crops will be safe for awhile. My vegetable garden is still producing very well.

This thing is moving very quickly ... the rain is going to be ending early in the morning tomorrow. So I'm not sure where you're getting the 36 hours. It isn't even going to be 24 hours.

There were hints that this would happen well before last night. NAM has been showing the rain ending early wednesday for several runs before now.

Yeah that's what NAM and some other models are showing. I just mentioned this to Sacrus in the september thread because I don't understand why some keep talking about rain into thursday. It looks as if the sun will come out wednesday afternoon and the rain will be long gone by thursday. It's a tuesday night into wednesday morning rain event.

I keeping seeing some saying rain into thursday but NAM has rain over by midday wednesday and then sun coming out wednesday afternoon. This is looking more like a tuesday night into wednesday morning rain event.

Having some indoor dining helps some, although 25% capacity doesn't help a lot. But Connecticut is increasing their indoor capacity to 75%. The 50% capacity indoor dining never lead to an increase in cases, so that's a good thing. Hopefully the weather will cooperate to allow restaurants to do outdoor dining for quite awhile though. I think a lot of people are fine with sitting in 50 to 60 degree temps, so October and November should be ok. You just wear a little more. It will be tough though when the much colder weather comes in winter. Not many people will sit in 30 degrees. Hopefully by then NY and NJ will be able to increase indoor capacity like CT is. And perhaps heating for outdoors.

No question about that. The cooldown for early the week of the 28th doesn't look nearly as cool as what we have right now, and the long range stuff is indicating another warmup in early October. We're gonna be in a mild to warm pattern for quite awhile after tomorrow.

To me it still looks like 80 degrees next weekend. The warm pattern that starts wednesday and goes through next weekend might come to an end a little earlier now though, with that trough swinging in during the early part of the week of the 28th. Hopefully we'll get some decent rain from that too, after this long dry stretch.

Doesn't look like a cooldown on the 26th-27th to me. Models are showing maybe a very brief minor cooldown on friday the 25th after the warmth of the 23rd-24th, and then actually warming back up the weekend of the 26th-27th. Could be looking at 80 degrees sunday the 27th.

GFS probably overdoing it a little bit, but it does look like a nice warm pattern starting mid next week. Starting wednesday, at least a week of high temps mostly mid 70s to low 80s.

I think by next tuesday we're already warming back up to low-mid 70s. No question we have a few solidly below normal days this weekend into monday. But other than that, I see a lot of days with high temps well up into the 70s to near 80. Today, wednesday and thursday this week and most of next week after monday. One cool stretch for a few days but otherwise normal to above normal temps.

We still see plenty of warm days mixed in with the cool ones. After the cool day tomorrow, we're looking at high temps in the upper 70s to near 80 wednesday and thursday. And after the cool weekend into monday, it warms back up mid next week. Next wednesday and thursday look like a repeat of this week with highs close to 80. Still plenty of 80 degree warmth mixed in the cool days.

I'm Jealous. Just light rain here. Yet again a heavy downpour slides just a few miles south of Piscataway. Don't know what it is that causes that to happen so often.

Still hardly anything here. One heavy downpour missed just a few miles to the north, going over plainfield. Now it looks as if this next downpour is going to miss us just a few miles to the south. The luck we have getting heavy downpours here in Piscataway is so bad it's almost comical. I've lost count of how many times we missed getting heavy rain by just a couple miles this summer.

Frustrating that the heavier rain missed this area this morning. Only about a tenth of an inch here. If everything misses this afternoon, we will barely have gotten enough to water the gardens. Frustrating considering the potential this event had. Hopefully the current models are wrong about everything missing to the south and east this afternoon.
