It's dripping humid but nothing like the non-Plateau/Mountain folk are having to deal with. My brother in Hixson said it was 99 at his house a couple hours ago.

fountainguy97 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Man the gfs really wants to keep the heat around for another 10-14 days. I'm not surprised but I was hoping to see some fall mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the extreme western edge of guidance though so not very likely at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the things it's been throwing out, you can safely shave 5 to 10 degrees off the highs it tosses out when it starts those 105+ degree readings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Looks like 83 is gonna be my high today. Been several cloudy periods. Last night's wind and rain made for an interesting halftime show for our band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the brief relief thanks to this tropical system gfs goes torch again. Of course it's wildly too hot normally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Gonna have to get this thread up to date w a Cobra Kai gif.....Gotta bring in the younger generation, so they too can enjoy the pink and ember hues of AN temps on fall modeling.

*Flash* Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 To be fair, I think many of us have adjusted our expectations in recent years to round September to summer. It's hard to take fall seriously until October at best. Let's hope September 2023 is NOT a redux of September 2019. That's my concern at the moment. September 2018 and 2016 were rough as well, but at least there were snapshots of autumn those months...at least for middle TN. September 2019 was wall-to-wall blowtorch. Please, MJO, don't park yourself in phases 8-1. Wait until DJF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Flash* Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Doesn't look like CPC and the CFS are on the same page. Gotta think this changes once they realize the Sonora and Bermuda Ridges are combining which can be a tight grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 The good thing is that I think this ends as hurricane season ends...maybe VERY sharply changing to cold. Nino years tend to build a ridge over the EC which allows for more landfalling hurricans/TS systems. Endless summer is on tap...I think we probably see a cold shot mid-September or just after...a last gasp of heat...and then true fall. The West could see winter start early. They better get all the snow they can get before the winter pattern sets in...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Mood after looking at weather data Carvers is probably right unfortunately. Early 'canes will just act like warm fronts. Maybe we can get a break in mid-Sept. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Didn't get out of the 70s yesterday, probably won't today and have some likely mid-50s or lower coming for Thursday morning. Can't really close out met summer any better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Flash* Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Nice, John. Sure feels good out there relative to last week. I'm making plans to do some outdoor activities with the kiddos today. Looks like we'll have to wait a while for the next overcast day around these parts. Not a bad week to hit up some parks/hiking trails/splash pads, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Impressive rains this morning. I think part of the reason we don't get as hot as the GFS throws out is that we aren't in a drought of any kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 About an inch and a quarter of rain this morning and looks like a good bit more in the pipeline. Thunder and heavy rain moving overhead right now. This should continue to help blunt the heat. My uncle, just East of Dallas in Hunt Co, hasn't had rain in over a month and has only had 3 or 4 days in August under 100f. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew70 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Sadly close to a goose egg here for my area. Some good rains to my west & east. With the dry & heat coming back. It is going to delay me planting new landscaping. Yard was struggling from heat till this break. 2 weeks it will be brown. I’m past the mood to water it.

PowellVolz Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Looks like next week we get a shot at some rain and early fall like temps. Mother Nature has given me the finger on some rain. Haven’t had any in over two weeks. I’ve consistently been gapped by everything that’s came through. My poor lawn is fried. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
