It can be tricky. I've seen HIE/BML start a night at like 40/40, clear out, and stay calm. Then they procede to fall to something like 25/25 before finally succumbing to freezing fog. Lower els can tap into colder dews that drain down into the valleys as hill/mtn surfaces radiate. If I see MWN running very dry in the evening despite a near saturated start at those sites I always figure they'll radiate like mad anyway. It seems to be difficult to "fog out" once you get into the mid 20s too unless you're near a body of water or have laying water handing around. I mean, how often do we see fog with temps below 20F? Only the most extreme rad pits seem to do that. Diamond dust is pretty rare south of NNE too. But yeah, minus continued advection overnight, the afternoon dewpoint is a good estimate. If you're confident you're going to see radiational cooling MOS can be tough to beat too.

MAV with 30/28 at CON for tonight/Sat night. My hunch is I pull a 30-32F here as well.

I keep a big rock in front of the coop door overnight. This morning I picked it up to toss it on the ground and my back said "not today". It felt like someone took an axe across my back. Nice way to start a day off and 3 day weekend.

The positive is that the marshes that haven't dried up tend to radiate really well. I don't think mosquitoes really die at exactly 32F anyway. As you get colder and colder they're more likely to go dormant. I think our more northern species produce glycerol in freezing temps which can help prevent their cells from freezing. It works a bit like tardigrades.

49.0F BKN and windy. Lots of leaf drop. Majorly pulled out my back this morning too. Career ending injury like Ginxy and Jay.

We Triforce

2 straight days of 100F at Chattanooga. btw...only a high of 48.5F here today.

101F in Birmingham and 99F in Nashville today.

43.9F and rain here Nice glazing on the rock pile right now.

Damn. Nice vid. Why can’t weenies like us get wx like that?

MWN has been bone dry at times today.

45/38 OVC Thrilling

Is that your winter outlook?

1941 was a pretty good heat wave down there. This blows away all of those dustbowl years though.

Looks like they had a 15min jump to 101-103F that looks a little fishy, but they were 99-100F either way. 100F at Huntsville too. That's deep summer nonsense.

Birmingham had never recorded over 94F in October and in the first 2 days put up a 99F and a 103F. BHM 103F (old 94F mult dates) BNA 99F (old 94F 10/1/1953) CLT 99F (old 98F (10/6/1954) DCA 98F (old 96F 10/5/1941) BWI 98F (old 97F 10/5/1941) RIC 98F (99F 10/6/1941) EWR 96F (old 93F 10/5/1941) ATL 96F (old 10/5&6/1954) LGA 95F (old 93F 10/5/1941)

Last 6 days in Nashville 95, 94, 97, 98, 98, 99 They had 1 day warmer than 95° in their history past 9/22 before this year. Unreal.

High of 65F here...lol. You guys can have that. About to put the heat on here to keep the house at 68F.

Getting chilly. 55/50 and breezey

We kid around with puns, but I do hate making jokes at a time like this. Obviously we hope the loss of life is at a minimum.

GYPSY HAZARD ON RUNWAY

Couldn't the ceilometer detect the fractional smoke layer a bit away from the station while the forward scattering vis sensor sees nothing between the beam emitter and the receiver?

Man...losing power has changed you. You're really serious about needing to watch every Pats game.

I feel like I haven't seen that in years...even at augmented sites where a crash occurred. Some of the international ones have had it.
