We had a chilly low this morning of 40. A backdoor front arrives overnight will reinforce cooler temperatures and a chance of some showers Sunday with the arrival of a stronger front. The leaves in the Valley should be near peak this weekend. I'm seeing a trend in the longer range guidance suggesting stronger cold fronts pushing through until the end of October. Even some hints a snow showers in the longer range!

We've had a nice stretch of amazing weather the last several days. Another cool front arrives Wednesday providing additional pleasant cool temperatures with a stronger shot of cool air and perhaps a shower or two this weekend. The fronts are becoming more frequent and progressive. The days are getting shorter and winter will be here before we know it!

My low was 40 even with a low stratus deck.

No chance of frost in the morning. We've been socked in with clouds since overnight last night. Even with the clouds this morning I managed a low of 49.

Looking more likely we could our first frost Friday morning. Leaves around the house are almost done falling and we did a major leaf blowing today. The worst is almost over for me except for my allergies!

Take with a grain of salt, but the GFS has been rather insistent on a strong front arriving around the 20th to 21st. Our first freezing temperatures are near those dates climo wise.

Temperatures warmed overnight as the wind turn to the SE. Mugginess also returns with chances of rain until the next stout cold front arrives Wednesday. I'm seeing the cold fronts progressing fairly quickly in the medium range into long range.

What a glorious day in the Valley today. Beautiful Carolina Blue skies and temperature briefly touched 70. The leaves are quickly beginning to drop across portions of the Parkway. My Poplar trees should be done next week which is the earliest I've seen in the past 5 years. This weekend should be peak for elevations above 5K. Temperatures in the upper 30’s tomorrow night and again on Saturday morning should escalate the leaf change down into the higher Valley location in the week ahead.

We've been in the clouds all day with the Wedge firmly established. Drizzle has returned in earnest this evening in the Valley. I had a high of 69 today and a low this morning of 58. Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures Timm! I always look forward to you sharing!

Breathe easy neighbors. I like our chance tonight. Cold air is coming!

We're getting showers in the Valley now. Heavier rain looks likely for some.
