I didn’t expect to hit 96, with only around 12 hours of sun! I guess when the ground has turned hard as concrete, cracked and parched, there’s no soil moisture whatsoever left to retard heating! I guess September record heat is better than October snow!? But I’m sure we can still pull it off!
Consider yourself lucky, on board temp on my mom's truck as I headed to work was 101...

I dont see how it cannot cool down.  Shorter days quickly limiting heating, sun angle getting lower to reduce efficiency of heating, and there's going to be 4 feet of snow on the ground along the Canadian border! 

Look at the bright side, if this keeps up we may be on the firing line for some epic winter storm tracks!

Epic winter storm tracks that still manage to produce rain?

For those looking for 
cooler weather, next weekend could be a breath of fresh air as a 
legitimate cold front looks to push through the area and possibly 
bring temperatures to below normal values for early October.

Hopefully a wet pattern starts soon. Not seeing much hope on the models. Keep checking back hoping for a change. Only good news is timing for duck season. Going into duck season it's going to be very little water (opposite of last year). Birds are going to have fewer places to go so hopefully my farm which has great beaver swamps that always hold water will have more birds as they will be less spread out and more prone to use continual sources of water, Looking at the positive of this!

Rabbit season.

Wow.  1954 was a miserable early October.

Really more of a banter post but maybe you guys will indulge me.

Realities that I need to learn to accept .

1. There is nothing remotely fallish about September now.  It is August part deux.

2. December is a fall month (except for random episodes like our early snow last year)

3. February is a spring month.

4. The NAO/AO will be positive (except maybe in March/April).  Do not believe any forecast which shows them negative for a significant period of time.

5. The SER loves me and knows what's best for me.

6. Repeat: the NAO/AO will not be negative.  Do not buy into the weekly forecasts

7. Whenever models disagree, always trust the warmer one.

8. Seriously: do not expect the NAO/AO to ever go truly negative in DEC - FEB again.

9. Models will flawlessly pick-up on warm spells except they underestimate their intensity .

You've pretty much nailed it. At least for the upstate, and points south, we've become a 3 season area. Fall: Oct - Jan. Spring: Feb - April. Summer: May-Sept

Every once in a blue moon we'll tease with cold and possibly some sleet in Dec or Jan.:thumbsdown:

You might could add:

10. Any cool/cold shown on modeling is just a tease. If it actually does happen, it will get pushed back for weeks at a time. 

11. A cool/cold front means it will get us back to 30 year norms for a short while so enjoy it if it happens to you. 

12. Every year we're guranteed at least 2 months where we think, "Man it can't be as hot as this month last year!" And then it turns out to be worse.

Promising discussion about rain next week from GSP NWS. 

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 115 PM Monday: Starting Thursday evening after the 500mb ridge
has flattened and a cold front approaching from the NW. The ECMWF
has been consistent in showing a bone dry frontal passage.  The GFS
has been the wetter model but now shows little if any rain for our
area with this front. The front should be moving through the
Midlands by early Friday morning. Therefore, no influence from
diurnal heating. The cooler air will make for a milder day in the
mountains and still hot in the piedmont Friday but at least below
record highs. The cool high pressure will be over the Great Lakes
Friday afternoon and over New England Saturday afternoon. This will
bring our temperatures down to near normal over the weekend. There
will be a strong shortwave moving through the west to east flow
across the nation. The GFS is more progressive bringing the best
chance of rain next Monday. The EC digs a deep trough next week and
deep flow out of the Gulf bringing heavy rain to our area next
Tuesday. Of course, the current forecast ends Monday night. CAPE on
the GFS Monday afternoon around a 1000 from Elberton GA to Charlotte
and rapidly goes to zero in the foothills. QPF amounts from a tenth
to a half inch on Monday which is the best in weeks. We can hope for
at least that continuing through passage of the shortwave and front.
Since the coverage on the models is so good, I would carry higher
POPs on Monday but it is Day 7. Lots can change in a week. Max temps
rise on Monday to about a category above normal.

If you like to catch 1/2 pound spots!  I actually love to fish Kerr in the cold with a crank.  They eat!  Loose attempt to psyche myself up for the continued blaze!
