Bob Chill Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yeah, I know. 72F normal at the start of Oct, but it only takes a +8 to get an uncomfortable 80F. We just exited a week of +8s and +10s. I'm jaded. I also vividly remember 88F on the first Saturday of Oct last year. But, as Bob pointed out, maybe it opens the door for some tropical rains. Although, I'll bet the only thing tropical we'll see is humidity. Like I said, I'm jaded. It's not really amplified on the means. Just a look that favors lower heights out west during the period. I personally think the pattern will end up typical for the period. Alternating cool/warm shots with nothing parked overhead for long periods. Standard boring stuff that will probably average a bit +. And it's way too far out there to think much about. I'm going to enjoy the next couple weeks and the taste of fall weather. You should score some 40's for lows late next week if we get clear/calm.

Bob Chill Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The lamest 8 weeks of the year are upon us. It's the best outdoor weather of the year but yea, boring as heck. Maybe we get an Oct noreaster just for fun. Wind and rain while the leaves are dropping is kinda fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I wish we could have gotten some aurora action. Any of you ever see something down here?I saw it one winter in Finwick island. It was about 10 years ago. The sky had this very strange greenish color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GramaxRefugee Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 75/58 I'm beginning to think my station runs a bit warm... EDIT: I'm thinking it's a siting issue. Is the temperature considered "accurate" if the station is placed in the shade? I don't have many full sun areas on my property. The station has a radiation shield, but it doesn't seem to be working as the temperature spikes a few degrees when it's in direct sunlight. If a modern radiation shield only "spikes a few degrees"; count yourself lucky.

nw baltimore wx Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Light rain. Hoping the Blue Angels show still happens. What time are they scheduled? On a related note, I've worked at OPCY since it opened and yesterday's day game was one of the best games ever because of the Blue Angels practicing around and over the stadium. I'm sure the players got pretty annoyed with it, but it was incredible. And that was only practice!. As you said, hopefully the show goes on today. Edit: I see now that they are supposed to start around 2 PM. Hopefully the rain gets in and out of here quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Played a 18 today down near Fredericksburg. Front nine was a near washout, but things cleared out around the 14th hole. I was incredibly jealous of the folks who teed off a couple hours after us. Absolutely gorgeous out now. 66 and partly cloudy with a light breeze.

EastCoast NPZ Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm sitting out on my patio, Octoberfest in-hand. There's a gentle breeze. The sun is setting. The temp is 63F; I'm wearing sweats and a thermal and I'm actually shivering a little. The forecast low is a ridiculous 45F. It's fall. What could be better?
