Only 0.02 here from a thundershower around 3 pm, BIG stuff went E and S of me around 7-10 pm last night. Could see the lightning off in the distance. What I do have is FOG, for like the 4th morning in a row now. Currently 58.9/58.2 at 8 am.

Fogged in again this morning.....

Had a decent thunderstorm roll thru late yesterday afternoon, after about an hour or so of hearing distant thunder, now up to about an inch and a third since rains have returned. Definitely helping the new grass come in Currently 60.6/59.2 and foggy here at 8 am.

ALMOST a new record 'warm minimum' set, low was 62.1, record is 63 from 1991. So far a total of 0.85 has fallen since rains have returned, would like more, but least things are damp instead of extra crispy.

So, been raining since, at times actually at a moderate rate. About 1/3 inch since 7 am! YAY!

Well I'll be! Actual liquid falling from the sky! lol Only 0.08 in gauge, but first measured precip since 9/2. Currently light rain is falling and 62.0/61.3 here.

Outstanding day to work outside. 73.2 for a high under cloudy skies with a threatening look to them, although nothing fell. Got the yard plugged and overseeded, heading into the 'forest' to do it tomorrow.

Yep, same here. Was a 'toasty' 58.8 this morning with cloudy skies, been in 30's (upper) and 40's for about a week. Sitting at 0.29 for the month, but all of that fell on the 1st and 2nd.

Made a whirlwind tour thru the area past 40 hours. Went up into VERY lower SE PA with wife visit an older person from her past (91). Then we went to both Delaware's and Maryland's Capital buildings today before heading home. Made a decision to miss DC rush-hour (left Annapolis at 4:30pm) and took 301 S into VA. MD got me with that toll, last time I remembered crossing that bridge back in late 90's it wasn't (and it was and older bridge!). 2nd toll I'll pay in 30 years minus the couple times on WV turnpike when I've been lazy. Least that one you just stop and toss a few dollars to the worker. Illinois got me for a 3/4 mile tolled stretch of 80/90 back a few years ago. Maryland's building was quite the mess on the outside, lol. Beautiful on the inside.

56.2/44.1 at 11 am, we have a long way to go to get to that forecasted 79 high today. Been a spectacular morning for getting things done outside!

39.5 for the low here, new record low for the date, beating 1988's 41. No frost as I have a very light N to NNW wind at 2-3 mph that helped hold temp up a bit. So out to uncover everything here in a few. Looking around, coldest temps I saw a 7 am- 35 at Judy Gap, WV 34 at Deerfield, VA 33 at Bittinger, MD 32 at Bayard, WV 31 at Rimel, WV Bowden, WV 30 at Mill Gap, VA Davis, WV 20 At Canaan Valley NWR! Looks almost like an inversion overnight, the lower in the valleys the chillier you got.

Just in case it was missed-they've upped the ante a bit.

Update, we just covered the garden lol. Still a good bit of stuff out there. Pulled 80% of the 'maters, most were starting to turn anyway. Already 55.2/34.0 and dropping fast at 8 pm.

Well, frost advisories up for MY county now. THAT is a bit early. Just pulled wife's plumeria and hibiscus off the deck and into the garage for the night. 36 is the point and click temp for in the morning.

Just missed record from 1988 (40) with a 40.8 low here. Seeing plenty of mid/upper 30's in the frost adv area, even one in my county.

Not by a lot, it's happened a few times in early/mid Sept in the past 40 years out that way.

Frost advisories up for mountains. Highland VA, Pocahontas, Pendleton, Randolph and Webster in WV

Well, had sprinkles and drizzle for about 30 minutes, not even enough to get things properly wet. Front is thru, winds have swung to NW at 6 mph and barometer is starting to rise. A much warmer morning here at 55 degrees earlier. Currently 63.8/53.7 with a NW wind at 6 mph under cloudy skies. @katabatic with leaves down the danger goes up a bunch when it is dry. I noticed a lot of color last weekend in Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties last week when I was there, more than I expected to see.

4 mornings in a row in the 40's in early September? I'll take and like! Currently 56.6/52.8 as the last of the morning fog is burning off at 10 am.

Currently 48.3/47.9 with fog here. This is great weather for early fall!

After a 47.4 low this morning I topped out at 71.1 this afternoon. Beautiful day until around 4 pm, then we got cloudy. Currently 69.3/50.0 with cloudy skies. Great day for outside work!

47.3 for the low, house is open and enjoying this

Just got back from Covington's Labor Day Parade. Beautiful afternoon with partly cloudy skies and mid 70's temps, had a sprinkle around 2 pm before the event started. Currently 75.7/57.1 with partly cloudy skies and a NNW wind at 5 mph.
