Yuck You have to go back to 2006 to find a September that was below normal in Charlotte. Back in the '80s and '90s I used to always do my fall lawn renovation during the second week of September. That changed in the mid 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck 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!!!

It really does suck, but as bad as it is, I hate the super long days of full sun and heat that you get in June/July even worse. At least we are closer to relief now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 There are benefits.....it is much easier to kill my lawn for reseeding when it is bone dry. And I was able to open up a mile or so of atv trails yesterday on the tractor without sliding around in mud. Beyond that, this is miserable! I just hate to rely on a tropical system to break the pattern because we all know how bad the inland flooding can be across the hill country.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears that little tropical wave west of Africa has potential. Both long range GFS and Euro show it entering the Northern Caribbean. Much like Dorian. GFS showing landfall in FL as a Hurricane. Tropics might not be finished yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 If we lock in the SER again and sweat through October I think at least 70% of this board will need some sort of mental therapy. The long range models are just not good at predicting pattern changes.....ever. #trustbroken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstate Tiger Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 What a suck fest this month is turning out to be. I would just settle for 80's!

Good grief....as someone stated above, this pattern is bad for upcoming leaf season too. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/fxus06.html 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we're already getting temps in 80s/60s while we're in a bad pattern. In July this would be at least 90s/70s. Last year we started to see some foggy nights in mid/late September. We kept the higher dew point, and with the longer nights allowed the air to saturate. Looks like we might see more foggy nights this year...

I didnt get a drop from Dorian in the Triad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Not one drop of rain the whole of September, through today! And the last week or so of August, so deadly dry around here! Plants are dying everywhere! Temps in the 92-96 range everyday also isn’t helping! Normal high is 84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 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.

Look to the upper midwest at 6-7 days out and see if its really there. Then all we need to worry about is breaking down the ridge. I fear we are already seeing some familiar battle lines drawn.

It's been rough everywhere since 2007 It's getting tiresome having to constantly read about the "Upper Ridge" in the NWS AFDs. It seems like it's now a year-round occurrence. Friday morning I was checking out the webcam at the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club and I noticed frost on the putting green and driving range and a dusting of snow on the peaks of the Tetons. Would love to have a house there to escape the Southeast heat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others on here can better speak to it, but it's obvious and there's no sign of change. I keep holding out hope it would change or flip to a western ridge pattern for awhile but this may indeed be the new normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
