GaWx Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Hoping for cooler and less humid as we go later into met. Autumn. Starting off here with dewpoints near 70, more like summer than fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 T for today on the rain gauge. 77.7 at 2pm. I watched the remnant low of that b**** spin eastward over RDU on the radar today and I say be gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Weather has been pretty boring here since Helene went by. That has been good for those in the western part of the state. High's have generally been in the low 80's with lows in the 60's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsman Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Just barely saw the pinkish hue in the sky last night. Couldn't get my old Nikon to power up, otherwise would have taken a few shots. 43.5 this morning at 7:40. Trying to keep the HVAC off as long as possible! I think I can do it with the right windows open/closed schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Low of 52, high of 72. Supposed to get into the 40's by morning. If it happens, it will be our first of the season. No rain for 14 days now and no rain it the 10 day forecast. So dry and ragweed is raging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind if you say, “NC needs rain”, a group of NC mountain men will drive to New Bern and beat the crap out of you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidcurtis Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Struggling to find the right place to get enough eyes but not get the post removed. Raleigh native and been here for 42+ years except for a short stint I spent getting my art/marketing degree at Western Carolina University. Point of the post, I teamed up with a friend here in Raleigh who’s a screen printer and have a shirt running for the next two weeks to raise proceeds ($14 per shirt) for WNC. Check it out, share with friends! https://humblymade.com/collections/campaigns-by-humbly-made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will come a point after the leaves fall that the Mountains may need the occasional shower. All of those trees that were blown over are a wildfire disaster waiting to happen once things dry out. The Spring fire season could be rough up there if another extended dry spell is in progress around that time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtg947h Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Things suddenly got chilly here... saw 48 on the thermometer this morning. Later this week looks even colder Sure feels like fall now, but I wish it had been a more gradual transition. Unlike most of the board though, I'm not a winter fan. I just see this as a harbinger of being cold and miserable at my morning workouts... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted October 15 Author Share Posted October 15 This is one of my favorite times of year, when the first pushes of cool/dry Canadian air plunge down following soon after most of 5 months with 65+ dewpoints mostly 70+). Makes walking enjoyable again and will likely give me lots of opportunities through mid April even if a mild winter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather service said possible freeze so I cut the first Keifer pear that I was able to grow that survived late spring frosts from my tree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 What an absolutely strange last few months in rainfall department. 0.54” in June, over 15” in September, and now looking like we’ll finish October without any measurable rainfall. From the wettest month since I’ve lived here to the driest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
