Dry as a bone in CAE.  Missed the line of storms that came through last Friday.  Don't even remember the last time we got a good soaking IMBY.  Welcome the cooler temps this weekend but, man, need some rain.  Nothing but sunshine on the 10 day last I checked either.  

Sounds like typical CAE weather. Hot and almost always dry. Enjoy the badly needed break from the searing heat.

72.5 here, windows open and ac off!

There's a realistic chance I might get a 0.00 for September on rainfall,not even a trace.Just checking the 10 day forecast and don't see anything.

Terribly dry here grass burned up,leaves dropping.

Cooler day yesterday did not translate to cooler night last night. Forecast for low this am was 58, made it down to 66.2. Looks like all the 50s in SC are in the PeeDee region over to CLT.  All 60s and even low 70s upstate. Marion SC at 52, GMU at 70!

Well, was hoping for 40's this morning. Didn't get close. 55 low here (I think RDU got a few ticks lower). Very pleasant regardless! DRYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[yotaman]

I was hoping for the 50's here but we did drop down to 60 which was real nice. Currently breezy and a very pleasant 73/58. Too bad ragweed pollen is out or I would be outside more.

[LithiaWx]

Front came through here.  First taste of fall.  Headed for around 58-60 tonight and tomorrow night!  Loving it 

[jburns]

I bottomed out this morning at 51.4º.  A very nice change.

23 days in a row! Wow, not looking like anyone will get any rain for the next 2 weeks either.

[Fantom X]

Got down to 47 this morning. 

[NRVwxfan.]

Got down to 41 here this morning.

[Shack]

50 at MCN this morning, this, only two-and-a-half days after it hit 103. 

That's a pretty big swing for us.

50.7 F for the low IMBY this morning.  Refreshing!

[Disc]

38.7 for the low on my wx station. 

[yotaman]

59 for a low. Nice walk with the pups this morning. Currently 73/60.

Damn. Guess my cheap thermometer on the wall of the house isn't that accurate. It sure felt like 30s this morning. Gonna take some getting used to this climate zone. Nothing like Columbia SC.

It is 32° this morning, with FROST, in Aspen CO and fortunately I am here to witness it.  What a glorious morning!

Show-off.    At least the humidity is reasonable here today.

[yotaman]

Low of 56 this morning. Temp and dew points are up today, currently 78/63.

[magpiemaniac]

Well, at this point, I’d settle for just seeing a cloud.  This is ridiculous.

Any chance you’re from Newcastle, UK? (Magpie reference)

Plenty of clouds there...

I’ve been a NUFC fan since Alan Shearer’s early days at the club.  It’s a miserable existence with all the underachieving.  

 

P.S.  Still no clouds.

[yotaman]

Low of 60, currently 83/65 and sunny.

[flair_2000]

Forecasted for near 90 today and tomorrow here in NE NC.  Low 90s by Thursday.  Haven't seen a cloud in the sky for days.  WPC 7 day has zero rain, and has been that way for at least the past week.  Ugh

You were probably about spot on. My home wx station sits at 2,700ft in a slight bowl. Optimal radiation! 

You're gonna love that first arctic cold front. Winds gusting 40 to 50mph and single digit wind chills with snow squalls.

26th day in a row without rain. The leaves on the tree's are drying up, yellowing and dropping. Especially around here. Slightly further sound (fort mill / monroe) where I visited this weekend- not as bad as they did have a few downpours a few weeks ago but starting to dry there too. This ridge has staying power- looks like til at least 10/4

 

86/63 now - with just a few clouds

Behind a paywall but you can go incognito to read it. Article on SC cities heat and expected increase through mid century. Also some stats. One interesting stat, comparing CAE to USC campus downtown.  While I know CAE has seen 100, 5 times this year, the article says the NWS station at USC has reached 100, 25 times (and the record is 36 in 93 and 98)!

I see the USC reporting station from time to time and noticed it's usually hotter than CAE,  if one can imagine that. It does hold the state record of 113.
