85 and partly cloudy.

This is very different than right now.

Part of a severe thunderstorm warning for Charlottesville-Gordonsville, VA:

These storms are producing widespread wind damage across eastern Albemarle County. SEEK SHELTER NOW inside a sturdy structure and stay away from windows.

Thunderstorm yesterday. Tried to get dinner at a place that had a power outage, although power was on at home.

[Ted$8roadFan]

80, humid and cloudy.

Tried to get dinner at a place that had a power outage...

I can't imagine that went well.

High 70s, clear skies, a big muggy. Summer is not winding down as fast as it should.

I don't think summer is over just yet, normally summer in WA goes through early October?

Summer dissipates by then, but temperatures that go over 80 really don't belong in mid-September.

Ahh, this might be another north/south sound difference. 80s in September down south wasn't unusual.

I distinctly remember because I used to live in Downtown Puyallup, and would frequent the fair throughout September. Days in the 80s were not unusual, I even remember some 90s.

Brrrrr..... so c-c-c-cold outside this morning. It's 72°F outside this morning, and it's going to be 64°F by Saturday. 

[CtrlAltDel]

Well, the streak of 100-degree days is about to end:



I suppose I should consider my self lucky, though. Phoenix has had a high over 110 for more than 54 days this year, so far.

[Ted$8roadFan]

76 with light rain.

Not a lot has changed here....we are still looking at more of the same conditions as we've seen all summer long.  Although the Gulf moisture loads have decreased considerably resulting in mostly lower dew points and heat index....surprising considering this is the peak of tropical season and that September is typically our wettest month.

I read that on the NOAA that Phoenix did have a record summer temperatures all season; they average only around 13 days of 110s degrees per year.

[MATraveler128]

70s and sunny

Yeah, it was fun to hear on the news that Manhattan, KS, was hotter than Arizona.

[Ted$8roadFan]

79 with clouds, and rain expected.

[Hunty2022]

76 and about to rain any minute now.

[hotdogPi]

Hurricane on Saturday the 16th. Somewhat on the edge, but stronger than the recent ones on the edge where we just got light rain and that's it.

[Ted$8roadFan]

Sunny and 76.

[Hunty2022]

74, with some wind and not a cloud in sight...... perfect.
