The trough does stick it's nose down for us to not get too hot mid week like you said. May not be enough to save Training but over here I say low 60's for highs.
@Cashtown_Coop, I ran your numbers and if I am calculating correctly, you are also between -1.5 and -2 degrees on departures for the month using MDT's averages.
When I had written my post, I had not seen the low 80's. Now that will be VERY above normal for Oct. That is not good. This little Sept warmth (especially over here where we are about -1.5 for the month right now) was ok but 80's in October sucks.
Almost nooners, 73 and cloudy. 12K and 3K Nam are holding off rain until very late tomorrow and Thursday and not all that impressive (Edit, 3K more so than 12K as to impressive).
