The jet stream collapsing will be interesting for tropical storms. 

surely there will be other windows of opportunity for late season action, but bye and large, its been a dud....and I'm totally cool w/ that.

Its always active in the atlantic, but if memory serves landfall canes were supposed to be above average.  Thats my point.  Upper air flow in eastern conus has been doing its thingy.  

 They always predict an average to above average hurricane season unless el nino is present. However, they do seem to break out a little more science to try to figure out the land falling part.

35 this morning.

32 degrees for the low. Heavy frost this morning. 42 for the low yesterday.

Many of our valley spots across the area saw lows this morning in the 30's with the lowest being our typical coldest spot up in Warwick Township at 33.2 degrees. While some higher spots like West Grove only made it as low as 42.8 degrees. There are a couple of below normal temperature days on the way both today and tomorrow before we moderate to near normal by Saturday and briefly above normal on Sunday before we chill down again to start the new work week. Next rain chances arrive on Sunday night with the next cold front.

Low of 39.  Looks like the @Blizzard of 93 540 line makes an appearance over the Commonwealth next week.  #WinterIsComing

Strong winds this am - blowing into the 30s.

Highs next week in the low to mid 50s. I am not ready for sweatpants and hoodie season.

Why?  I thought that was what we all lived for.

Think our local guy down here is going to go the same route...he's already hinted at the continuation of drought and said we have a well below normal chance of a big dog snowstorm.

We shall see. It only takes a couple of well-timed systems to muck up an extended outlook.

This day was glorious fall.

Great news!

Has anyone heard from our old friend @paweather ? I remember last year he said he was diagnosed with a health problem. I don’t think he’s posted since, but hopefully he is recovering well. He loves the 540 line & he loved talking about rare October snow.

I remember his tone wasn't positive about his long range outlook. I've been thinking and concerned about him a lot ever since. 

[canderson]

Same. Every week it comes to mind and I wish him and his loved ones well.

I just read his last post from back in March and it damn near brought a tear to me eye.  Sadly, I fear he may no longer be with us. Very much hope to be wrong.

I knew what his last post said. I haven't gotten it out of my mind since he posted. Horribly sad.

I also miss @Bubbler86 and hope he makes it back. He left when the thread got weird for a few weeks but that was curds year ago or so.  His winter love and reporting was always exciting to read.
