LithiaWx Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Tied for hottest 1/1 - 9/22 for KATL. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 We've had some dry periods but this is definitely going to be the first chance at a full-blown aerial drought in quite some time here, unfortunately. Last few years being so wet made us spoiled in regards to being above average for precipitation. Thankfully it is in the autumn after the growing season for farmers but it is DRY. Warm again today but not as bad as yesterday. Currently 83. Bring on a real cold front please! Pretty easy to see the ridge placement on the GFS total precip map through the end of the run. Sheesh!

FallsLake Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 ^^Looking at the NWS map it looks like the dew points will spread a little eastward this afternoon: https://graphical.weather.gov/sectors/midatlantic.php?element=MaxT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I can remember, vaguely, the sound of raindrops falling in my backyard. Now, think I see a higher likelihood of this board reporting dust devils or tumble weeds then a raindrop over the next 10 days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Was this predicted in any models 60-90 days ago in long range outlooks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I remember back in July accuweather was showing a very mild September in their monthly outlooks, it may have showed it early August as well. So much for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Today's afternoon disco --heat on the brain is obviously responsible for this typo Overnight lows will settle into the mid to upper 80s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the thinking but disagree with the word "large". The runoff and flooding would be devastating. What would be better is a 2-3 back to back small tropical waves that dump a couple inches each over weeks, not days. My yard here in the triad is concrete. You throw 4-8" of rain on top of that and everything runs off. We need slow and steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't get anything tropical, we'll have to hope for a wet late fall/winter. Oh and some nice snows would do the job as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's still coming. One good thing about hoping for the cool down (over say a snow storm), we know it'll eventually come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Imma be honest...i know the thermo says 90s, but it really doesnt feel that hot. Its very tolerable. Low humidity and sun angle makes a big difference. It felt as hot to me today as it did on the mountain in Aspen last week at 9000 ft. Sunny and 70 felt like 90 and I was sweating like crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 KATL Smashed the record high of 90 with a 95. Record of 102 in Macon, and 100 in Columbus. God make it stop. We are also setting record low minimum temps at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
