mackerel_sky Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 September looks to start out with blazing heat! Probably some of the highest temps of the summer!? Looks like widespread mid-upper 90s, possible run at 100 across the Carolinas on Wed or Thurs, but fall arrives in about 3 weeks officially, so post your obs!

kvegas-wx Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I predict less light and more cool over the next three weeks. I observed my apples hung on the tree longer this year. Not sure why when it has clearly been dryer. I am observing my leaves rapidly turning yellow and jumping off the bradford pears. And I am observing that I wish it was mid July again. It is too dang hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandymanColumbusGA Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Local news saying Columbia SC will be mid 90s next week with isolated to scattered afternoon storms. Sounds a lot like what I'm forecasting here in the Columbus, GA area... Definitely not feeling like September and it probably won't for a while. At least in my neck of the woods. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's about 95 right now, man I don't understand while it's hotter in Sept than in July, it doesn't make sense! It was in the 50s in July for lows and now 90s and the humidity, I'm sure I never remember mid 90s in Sept, and we will probably have 70s in January, has anybody seen this before?

yotaman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Ughh, currently 95 with a dew point of 79. A miserable first day of September, not to mention also dry. Been 2 weeks since we had a good rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really strange. I mean we have much less daylight now than in July, the sun is much lower in the sky, and yet it's hotter and more humid. That completely goes against nature right ?

Cold Rain Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 There's always a lag between increasing/decreasing sun angle/daylight and increasing/decreasing temps. It can't get plenty miserable in September, especially early September. Once we get to around mid-month, the 90s should become less common.

yotaman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looks like I spoke to soon. Small storm opened up over us and so far in the last 10 minutes we have gotten .23" and it's still raining. Temp has dropped to 83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my "can't" should've been "can". By the way, I'm going to observe an Outback steak being depleted from my plate later. After all, it's Labor Day!

Yeah, I know there is a lag but I didn't realize the lag was this long. I thought that temps peaked about 1 month or so after the summer solstice. We are close to 2 1/2 months past the summer solstice. I know the water temps are usually at their peak around this time of year, but I thought that land cooled off a little quicker.

Which is why I would think that temps would be steadily declining by September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah somewhere in the one to two month range is the general lag time, but I don't remember specifically. Anyway, the averages are already decreasing, so in that respect, things are progressing as expected. But it's not uncommon to have a strong ridge set up and deliver above to much above normal temps in this area in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Heat index topped out at 102 this evening (KJNX readings) --- AFTER the temp dropped from 92 to 86 between 6:35 and 6:55PM.

metalicwx366 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Why is it that when a huge storm collapses, a couple of hours later the stratiform rain develops? 81 with light rain and vivid lightning from the storms well to the east. Lightning and thunder been going for a couple of hours now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
