Meh, I'll be pleasantly Surprised.. 

Shouldn’t be. For the Triad, our average lowest temperature in September is 46° for our area. Some areas sometimes touch the 30s in September. 

CrankyweatherGuy:  Double hit. Second one a reinforcement. Your Mid-September pattern shift from late summer to early autumn on the map.
2nd trough picks up AL17 and redirects it to the north east over the open Atlantic early next week. https://t.co/FGK0y5FmSC

By the end of next week, the Triad May struggle to hit 70!

40s in September is my litmus test for a nice September. There is reason to hope this year.

Well we could be like Colorado. Denver is in the 90's thru Monday with snow likely on Tuesday. Talk about crazy temperature swings..

What are soil temps like? Sun angle?

The average date of the first temperature below 60 is August 22 in the Triad. We were about two weeks late this year.

57 degree lows at RDU and GSO this morning, the coolest since late June.

78/57. Glorious sun. I actually got chilly eating outside in shade. That breeze gave me goosebumps 

A glorious, crisp 79 degrees this sunny afternoon in Winston-Salem. September is glorious!

No more heat in sight!

I am curious what your other two are.

The Great “Blizzard” of 2000 has to be #1 for me.

Feels like the back of summer may be broken. Don't see any big heat signals, hope I'm wrong and we can get one more big heat burst.

If we have to have hot weather, I prefer it happen like this year. A mild to chilly May and July. A very humid and somewhat above normal July, but nothing record-breaking, most not reaching 100.  A wet and mild August. Now, cross your fingers September doesn’t pull nasty heat out of the late season bag of tricks.

Still scarred from that 100 F reading at RDU last October 3.

One of the most shocking events in RDU weather history. Top three.

First day with highs in the 70s since June 

RAH:  Cooler temperatures are expected today! Highs in the upper 70s are expected over north-central NC, especially along and north of I-85. The last time we had highs < 80F was June 18 at GSO (76F) and June 17 at RDU (also 76F). Enjoy this brief taste of September-like temps! #ncwx https://t.co/PJ3aMnZ8AJ

never warned, about a half mile from the parents and a 1.5 miles from me....

 

Wow! Random twister 

A backdoor cold front will sweep down the Southern Appalachians Sat night, bringing lower dew points and seasonably cool air. Asheville could drop below 60°F Monday morning for the first time since June 26th, and a few high elevation peaks could fall into the low-to-mid 40s #NCwx https://t.co/gYcAunPIps

We need this this winter 

Summer is getting long in the tooth 

Well lookey here 

Autumn is Coming

Norfolk is simmering this month 

So when does next big cold front bring relief?

Eric Webb:  We really need to stop w/ these big East Coast Rex blocks before September comes around. https://t.co/umCpsrcSas
