HATZOS

Biblical soaker, for sure. That much rain in one day during the first days of October, is this a harbinger of what's to come later in the month?

Yeah. There were upper 80s days. But no 90 since Sept 2018. Im ready for cooler weather but a milder Fall in La Nina is normal. 

First September DAY failed to reach 90 degrees since September 2020. The last 90 degree day this year was on August 16th, the earliest last one since August 16, 2009 and August 16, 1997.

Wet stretch coming Sunday

To add insult to injury however, models are in agreement on a large cutoff low coming by the middle of next week that is expected to be around through the end of the month.

That is interesting.   Those cool streaks don't seem as common lately, so that's pretty cool.  I believe August ended cooler than normal too, due to the cool conditions.

Seems like Summer was just given the bum's rush recently

both the gfs and euro ensembles have a high in the low 60s for next Friday here in mt pleasant. Should feel great after a couple days of 80s

Almost time to open up a September 2025 thread very soon.....

Only hit 71 today. The record low maximum temperature is 67 back in 1930.

Still, mid-to-late August is just way too early for back-to-back days of overcast skies, for sure.

nelson is like one of the most chill people here.

so, to say he’s annoying is super lol. definitely a projection there.

Nelson can't be a chill person here if he wanted to rustle frostfern's jimmies.

66 at noon.  Friday will feel warm when it’s back in the mid to upper 80s. 

Garbage for sure

89’d today, maybe the last wave of 70 dews for the year.

Same here. Looks like the 90s are done early for the year. 

The bad news: Very short-lived garbage pattern ahead for the next few days. Although a bit early for this, but back-to-back days of expected suicide weather starting tomorrow.

The good news: Nice pleasant weather takes over just before this weekend begins with temps rebounding back to the lower 80's for Friday into Saturday. 

Temps really cool down big time early next week. Highs are forecast to be in the low 70s, though there are areas that could be stuck in the 60s or even upper 50s!

Overall, we're reaching what it appears to be the final nail in the coffin on this summer.

Summer is over

This weekend/early next week might actually bring you some organized widespread convection for a change.

TWC/Wunderground's going hog crazy with at least an inch of rain for tomorrow night into Sunday. Barely any of the models are even near that much.

We got a good region wide soaker over here this evening after some downpours late this morning/early afternoon too. 

1.21" here. First day with any rainfall for this month.

89'd yesterday, 89'd again today. Big fail these past few days.

Looks like a little early-fall-like storm brewing on Thursday to end the month. TWC has us in the mid-70s for the high.

12z GFS barely lets us even reach 70.

Canadian has us in the mid-70s.
