said plenty of people. many people are ready for Fall and did not enjoy that weather.

I think multiple things can be true.

Yes, people might be ready for fall, but I highly doubt they were complaining about having a bunch of warm and sunny days in the mean time. 

EDIT: Now if it were truly hot/humid weather, then maybe a different story.

Frost Advisory tonight. Freeze warnings just north. First winterish headline of the season here.

Only down to 36 at the house.  Will have another chance at a freeze tonight but then it’ll be at least a week before we make a run at it

It's gonna take a lot more than 0.06" to break the FWA drought.

39 at MSP, 34 at the suburban office. Very frosty. 20s outside the urban core.

Upper teens n 20's for lows this morning. A crisp AM across my area, n others. Radiational cooling really blew the forecast. Much cooler than cast. Another cold one tomorrow AM with freeze warnings out again. Frost/Freeze adv will probably be done after this as growing season is over here now.

I'd say so with the yearly deficit nearing one foot.

HATZOS

Biblical soaker, for sure. That much rain in one day during the first days of October, is this a harbinger of what's to come later in the month?

Quite a different picture for our friend in Dayton, where a daily record rainfall of nearly 2 1/2" of rain converted a small annual deficit into a surplus of nearly 2 inches. This was also the 67th most precipitation for any day on record - dating back to the 19th century!

It may always be sunny in Philadelphia, but it's always cloudy in Dayton.

Frost Advisory tonight. It'll be "low tire pressure light" season before you know it.
