How is school going by the way? Sophomore now?


Thanks for asking! Yep, in my sophomore year at UVA. Things are going well, balancing been active on Grounds and keeping grades high. I still haven’t decided on a major but it’s heavily narrowed down... looking at some combination of politics/media studies/public policy.

Plan on taking a couple meteorology classes for fun. Basic Intro class last semester was good and it definitely filled in some gaps in my knowledge. Eyeing a Synoptics class next semester...

6z is dry again, but still shows fall arriving with a vengeance after the strong front next Thursday. 

Let’s gooooo 12z GFS! Would probably be first frost verbatim for the suburbs next weekend after the heat. Still tamer in heat than euro and GGEM.

GGEM moved toward the gfs for next week, but euro still a total blowtorch.

Seems the long range GFS is really pushing up the time table we make a full transition to Fall.  I would expect a warm rebound of course but maybe the worse of the heat is over after October 3 rd.

Low of 51 this morning. High yesterday was 78. Looks like another nice day today with a high around 80.

What a difference cloud cover makes this time of the year.  Saturday and Sunday this past weekend was about 80 or so... but with the severe clear it felt like 90... yesterday was almost perfect in my opinion.. maybe 10 degrees cooler would be ideal.  For some reason I have grown to be intolerable of the sun.  I think it is all the previous Opiate abuse.

The LR look on the GEFS and now the EPS may lend some support to what the CanSIPS has been advertising for winter. I mentioned when the Sept run came out we wouldn't have to wait too long to see if it was onto something with the impressive HL blocking, as it has that general look as early as October. We are seeing the same tendency on the LR Euro and GFS now as we head into early October.

Very nice evening and morning. 

Now, time to close the shades for the next 10 days.

Less than that. GFS and Euro both consistent with the strong FROPA next Thursday or so and both show a decent rain with it. Next Saturday morning could get into the 30s in the colder suburbs which would be a big departure from the 90s a few days earlier.

LWX's AFD from this morning seems to suggest that the models are bringing the furnace next week

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
High pressure will push offshore Saturday as a cold front
approaches from the Ohio Valley/Great Lakes region. Once
again, moisture looks to be meager ahead of this front, so will
only carry low PoPs for this forecast.

Another area of high pressure will follow, this time building to
our south and west over the Tennessee Valley through early
next week, sending the aforementioned cold front back north as a
warm front. Long range models and ensembles have been
remarkably consistent with very strong and deep ridging
developing over the eastern two-thirds of the CONUS early next
week, which should result in a trend toward above to well above
normal temperatures.

Latest Euro has Wed and Thurs mid 90s:yikes: and 60s by Fri / Sat . 

Yeah those days look to be the real torch, and hopefully its just 2.  After a really warm day today, tomorrow looks super nice, and Monday also looks like a nice day, around 80. Weekend looks to be a carbon copy of last weekend- mid to upper 80s and pretty humid. At least we have had some seasonable days in between the warmer ones during this period. It has not been an all out torch to this point.
