Some pictures I saw around twitter / web of the storms yesterday:

Anyways, looks like little chance of sustained fall weather on the horizon.. Seems these "anomalous" ridges are becoming more common place.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The extended forecast will be predicated on the position and
strength of the anomalous 500h ridge that is expected to blossom
over the eastern US. Ensembles are coming into better agreement
now showing the ridge amplifying Saturday and Sunday and
sitting directly over the Carolinas. This will not only increase
the temperatures across the region, but this very strong
subsidence should be able to provide an extended dry period
beginning Sunday and continuing through the remainder of the
long term.

Temperature will remain above seasonal average into next week.
Consistency among models in an anomalously-strong upper ridge
in the Mid-Atlantic region has increased for early next week,
which suggests maxima could reach well into the 80s. In fact,
sounding climatology suggests that H5 height at Pittsburgh could
near record values.

Watching the GFS run, Leslie offshore seems to be helping with blocking any eastward flow forcing everything up into Canada to our west.   A super torch is coming for early next week, +15 to 20 range on the 850s.  I hope this means a swing to an equally opposite extreme when the pattern eventually changes.

PDS tornado warning?  That's quite unusual.

I saw that hook on the radar yesterday and was quite concerned for Waynesburg, but it seems the funnel lifted before it got there.  NWS reported an EF1 near Graysville, which is about 15 miles west of Waynesburg.  I feel as though these warm Septembers and Octobers are much more the norm, but I admit that's anecdotal as I haven't kept logs.  If that's true, however, then tornadoes are perhaps to become more common.

This time of year is our second peak for severe but I agree, if it's warmer and especially more moisture in the atmosphere as the cold fronts crash into it we may see more "falls" with this kind of weather.

Can I just say how much I HATE this weather pattern. I look forward to 60-70 degree days and nights in the 40’s, not mid June type weather. 

Agree, still running the AC.. The warm high dew point nights are really what do me in. I could live with it being warmer during the day if we dropped into low 50s at night.

Here it comes.......

You can't say us snow people aren't getting a little excited can you?

Looking forward to sleepless nights looking at models that will have snowfalls missing us about 90% of the time. HaHa

I just want 2 big snowfalls this year. Just 2 over a foot would make me happy.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
By this weekend, upper level longwave troughing becomes more
established across the eastern CONUS. A robust shortwave will
move through Friday night into Saturday, bringing the next
chance of rain showers. Forecast soundings show temperature
profiles just a bit too warm in the low levels and too dry in
the dendritic snow growth region for snow showers... but just a
small change in the forecast and the atmosphere may be conducive
for some flakes mixed in with rain in the higher elevations or
across the northern portions of the CWA (I80 corridor).

I don't think we're ever going to see Hurricane Michael again. Wow.

In pretty unique territory. One of 6 storms in history to form in the month of October and reach a pressure of 920 or lower. I believe landfall was made at 919. None made landfall anywhere close to that pressure. Wilma was 950 at landfall in Florida.
