About half an hour ago, Tornado Watch 670 was issued by the National Weather Service.

Flash flood warning for us. The emergency alert on my phone scared me to death.

It's dark.

Breaking news

It's dark.

[Max Rockatansky]

Cooled way down this past week and has been hovering around 70F during the day.  The morning temperature has ranged about perfect from 47F to 52F.

Brutally hot weather this week in Atlanta. Yesterday's high was 96 and today's was 93, and the next 3 days are currently forecast as 95, 97, and 95. For reference, the all-time record high for the month of October is 95.

Should see a decent cool-down after Friday. If we're lucky, we'll also get some rain, but it won't be enough to get rid of our current severe drought.

Low 60s, sunny, and with crisp air

[JKRhodes]

59 degrees and clear, with a forecast high of 89. We haven't seen triple digits in a few weeks. it's been really nice!

[MNHighwayMan]

It's dark.

That's not even weather.

More like space weather

Fall has finally arrived today for me, right on time. Temps aren't leaving the low to mid 80s anytime soon. With that there is plenty of rain and wind.

Scratch that, instead we've been breaking records here with temps in the low 90s. Cooler weather should arrive late in the week.

[Mark68]

Cloudy and 50. Was 90(!) on Sunday, 80s on Monday, then yesterday was very...Portlandian. It might have hit 60, and it was cloudy and drizzly all day.

Ha! I look outside now and the sun has finally made its appearance. It's supposed to hit 70 today. We'll see.

[webny99]

It's dark.

That's not even weather.

If it had been 7:16 PM instead of 10:16 PM, that would have at least been noteworthy as a sign of fall, since it would not have been dark at that time a month or even a few weeks ago.

Went from July to November in about 18 hours.  Saw 89 degrees on my car thermometer at 4:00 yesterday afternoon.  Now it's 52, overcast, and windy.

You can't trust a car thermometer. I once saw my car thermometer at 114°F, but it was 98° outside at that time.

They do tend to run a bit high, but in my experience major differences like your example above only occur when the car is first turned on. If you've been driving for a while it's usually accurate to within a few degrees or so.

Brutally hot weather this week in Atlanta. Yesterday's high was 96 and today's was 93, and the next 3 days are currently forecast as 95, 97, and 95. For reference, the all-time record high for the month of October is 95.

That monthly record was broken yesterday with a high of 96. And then that record was again broken today, currently at 97.

Fall has arrived, currently 60 degrees with a brisk north wind

Can confirm, but at least the sun came out today!

Got up to 98 later this afternoon. Blech. Tomorrow’s high of 96 should be our last 90 degree day, which I believe will also break the record for most 90+ degree days in a year.

So it didn't even reach 60 degrees here, yesterday...

Yep, exactly this. The inaccuracies even out after the first couple of minutes. I've even watched mine change from ~10 degrees off to 2-3 degrees off, in real time.

They're also sensitive to water.  Got caught in a downpour, and I saw my thermometer go from 97 to 74 almost instantaneously.  After driving away from it, it rebounded back up to 85 in a matter of a couple miles.

That's not the fault of the thermometer; it's actually that much cooler in heavy downpours. When rain falls, a portion of it evaporates, which takes in heat from the atmosphere and lowers the air temperature as a result. Of course, this will stop when the air becomes saturated and water doesn't evaporate anymore, at which point the temperature is equal to the dewpoint.

Of course it cools when it pours. But if the sensor itself gets wet, it's no longer measuring air temperature, but the air temperature plus the temperature of the raindrop, which is certainly less than the air temperature.
