Drier more seasonable summer-like temperatures return Sunday into 
the early part of next week. The next chance of rain/storms arrive 
will approach the area late Tuesday night into Wednesday, with the 
arrival of a high amplitude trough and attendant cold front from the 
west, which will likely play a critical role in the eventual track 
of TC Irma as it moves into the Western Atlantic.

The last time Charlotte saw below normal temperatures for Sep was 2006.  That's currently the longest above normal streak for any month of the year.  The latest NOAA and CFS projections give us a shot at breaking the streak.

 

 

 

Don't waste the below normal months Grit.  Keep em till January please, then whip em out.  

Last week or so has felt like September.  Looking forward to fall this year, favorite season around here for me.

Models this afternoon and evening are showing rain chances evaporating for central NC too. Just not in the right part of the storm to really get much precip, unfortunately.

As for the longer range, CFS has been a bit jumpy, but it's at least showing what'll likely be slightly above normal for central NC. Same with August, where we ended up just a hair above normal (thanks to the breaks in the clouds today), and it was forecasting around normal to slightly below. Certainly a good bit better than last year.

Mid week flooding and storms?

RAH:

Regardless, deep moisture will increase by mid-week, such that
precipitable water values around 2 inches (+/- a quarter inch from
east to west) will have overspread the Carolinas by Wed. This deeply
moist environment in deep swly flow aloft will favor the development
of bands of training convection, with a primary risk of heavy
rain/flooding from Wed through the frontal passage timing early Thu
or early Fri. In addition, bulk shear values will also be favorably
strong to support a risk of strong-severe storms; and the
unidirectional character of the flow (long, straight forecast
hodographs) oriented parallel to the surface front would favor a
mostly linear storm mode, with an accompanying risk of strong to
dmgg straight line wind gusts.

With the hurricane most have overlooked the beautiful weather we're going to have the next 4-5 days. 

Some might even see their first 40s for lows:

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 345 PM Wednesday...

High pressure will build into central NC Thursday and Thursday
night, initiating a seasonably mild and dry period. Afternoon high
temperatures will average 6-8 degrees below normal, ranging from the
mid 70s NW to around 80 SE. Notably cooler most locations Thursday
night with most places 50-55. May see a few upper 40s in the
normally colder locations.

So, it looks like no more 90s this year for many of us.

Yep summer is over with here in Triad for sure. Probably get a few Indian summer days before Sept winds down where we kiss 80 a time or two. But we start the trend down here mid Sept climo wise and the pattern this year definitely supports the idea we've had our last 90 degree day in Triad

Temps are dropping steadily tonight. RDU is forecast to get down to 53, but we have a DP of 46 and calm winds with no clouds and it's already 57 (as of 11). Would be surprised to hit 50 or maybe our first upper 40s, assuming those conditions don't change.

CFS keeps things cool to near normal for the next two-three weeks. After that, it's calling for a warmer October. November and December are mixed.

GFS says return to summer starting this weekend, YUCK!

Yeah, loving the upcoming 7-10 day streak of upper 80s! #FALLFAIL

Be interesting for how long, GEFS hinting at eastern trough again with some sort of pac low.  This has been the dominate pattern since early August.  Be nice if this continued through March.
