Well the GFS lost the idea yesterday but thankfully shows a cool down still coming after the 25th, with a reenforcement at the end of the month. Still way out there, but the 25 is 11 days out. If we can get it inside a week I'll feel a lot better about maybe getting that cooldown we all need.

Yeah, was only forecst for 90 at GSP but 94 there currently. Hate busting high!

GFS continues to show nice cool down for much of the area by 25th through the end of the run, we're talking 70s/50s for s good chunk of the board, with 60s/40s higher elevation. Would feel fantastic but let's see if it holds. Been showing for several days now. BTW check out the heat urban islands on that model, you can pick out every city with noticeably warmer night temps, especially ATL.

Highs today: ATL 99 CLT 98 CAE 97 RDU 96 GSP 96 PTI 95 TYS 94 AVL 91 Almost all of these were records, except CAE (not sure about TYS). I noticed Augusta to CAE to FLO were not as hot as some other cities, relative to normal, clouds or just wind flow or orientation of the high? Anyway, crazy stretch especially ATL seems to have been the epicenter; 10 straight days at 95 or higher.

Don't know, maybe some clouds around today? Pretty rare.

Well looks like CLT has recorded 98 each of the past two hourly readings, and could easily have notched up to 99 or even 100 between hours. Meanwhile at 4pm, both GSP and CAE showing 95, ATL 97, AVL 91, PTI reached 94. That is a record at both CLT and AVL, ties record at GSP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

For Sept 12, GSP average temp is 83/63. Its been 90s every day this month except one. Boy 83 would sire feel nice.

Yeah this stinks out loud. That SER has basically been a fixture going on a couple of years now. The last period of any respectable below normal temps in the East was Jan 2018, and that was really just the first two weeks of Jan. That's the longest stretch of below normal we've had in many years. Other than that we get a front to cool us down to normal or a little below for a couple days and its right back up. Meanwhile, the upper midwest and northern Rockies have been consistently below normal for a couple years. I know the planet doesn't care, but it would be nice if us in the east could get a reprieve for at least a few months.

Currently 99s at CAE and ATL. Even 93 at GSP. Gotta love met fall around here

Ouch. CAE currently 94/74 HI 104 at 1 pm. 85.5/64 IMBY.

GFS continues to show pattern change around the 18th with trough finally coming to the east. Brings 30s all the way down to Pennsylvania and W Virginia by the 20th and 50s all the way to gulf coast by 21st. SE ridge quickly back in place by 23rd though.

Too bad there's no truth to the myth!

But we just had a tropical system. But instead of pulling down cooler air it it's getting hotter. I'm not personally in a drought and have enjoyed the drier weather, BUT, I need a cool down!!!

ATL forecast of 98 Monday! Looks like most models showing small cool down, but still above average for next weekend. GFS shows bigger front FINALLY pushing through on the 21st, and bringing a better feel. PLEASE, FOR ALL THAT IS DECENT!

Ouch. Upper mid west has definitely been the place to be over the past couple of years in particular.

Yeah, this is old already. A week ago GSP had no 90s in it's forecast, now it is all 90s through end of next week! This September picking up where last Sept left off. Last year we had to wait till Oct 12 to see any cooldown, I REALLY hope that doesn't happen again, but no signs of it right now. SO FRUSTRATING!!!

0.0 on the wind meter, not even a hint of air movement here IMBY. That's pretty rare. Only some clouds from Dorian so far.

That's what I've been thinking for a couple weeks then they keep popping back up.

Hurricane

So much for my last post. The no 90s showing up at that time has become 90s for each of the next ten days, with mid 90s on a couple days at GSP. I am so over this heat, another summer without end!

58.4 this am. Maybe one more morning in the 50s tomorrow? Too bad the heat cranks up again after that; forecast has been warmed significantly from low -mid 80s to upper 80s to around 90! BTW, noticed Caesar's Head has hit 80 only once this month (81) with each of the last 4 days highs being in the 60s. Man that's nice for August in SC, I need to move there.

These hurricanes turn farther north and east than originally forecast 99.99999999999999% of the time. Nothing surprising here.

Well GSP had a low of 62, and GMU was 65, but yeah, there can be a surprising difference. Heat island effect I guess. Currently the numbers are; GMU 71 GSP 67 Me 63

Looks and feels like fall this morning, 57 for a low here. Beautiful!

The early outlooks for September look to be way nicer than last year. Looks like nothing above mid 80s (except upper 80s Friday) over the next 10-14 days for my area. After that, it gets much harder to find temps in the 90s. Is can happen of course, but the likelihood drops of very fast. Now we need those lows in the 50s (and may actually see some 50s the next couple nights).
