I know some of you are hoping to see this often this winter.

Backdoor wedge front trying to work south with clouds and much cooler air. Stuck at the Iredell/Meck county line right now. #cltwx #ncwx #scwxDnyFuE2X0AEFZOG.jpg

It's nice to get the cool down. Just depressing that the only thing we can get is a backdoor "cool" front. Man we're over due for our first real cold front; with dew points in the 40s/50s.

Had thunderstorms in the vicinity for the past 3 days. Should maybe get a break today.

Interestingly enoughh, ATL overachieved Tuesday and Wednesday with highs of 88*F and 89*F. And even with highs now mainly in the low/mid 80s, average highs are now in the upper 70s and lows are still well above average (around 70*F).

The high so far has been 87*F at ATL.

No rain today. After the mid-level clouds mixed out and shifted SE during the mid-late morning hours, it's been sunny with SCT culumus clouds.

Dewpoints a bit lower too, in the upper 60s.

So scratch that. The high was actually 88*F. Record high was 92*F, set back in 1941.

The temperature reached 97° in Tampa today. That set both a daily and monthly record high temperature. The previous daily record high temperature was 93°, which was set in 1961 and tied in 1986 and 2002. The previous monthly record high temperature was 96°, which was set on September 2, 1912, and tied on September 4, 1912, September 5, 1941, September 2, 1958, September 4, 1961, September 7, 1961, September 1, 1963, September 19, 1972, September 6-7, 1991, and September 20, 2018.

With today's record warmth, September 2018 remains on track to become Tampa's warmest month on record.

This extended heat across the east and particularly across the SE is impressive. As other have posted, the PNA is negative, the AO is positive, and the NAO has been positive all summer. We at least need the PNA, and it's not looking good on that front. The long range models keep showing fantasy hope but again I'll believe it when I see it.

Fortunately, the winter state of the teleconnections isn't necessarily identical to the fall state. Hopefully, there will be decent blocking with PNA ridging during the winter.
