OKwx2k4 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Tomorrow should be the last 90+ day of 2019 around here. Mercilessly, summer might finally be ending. It goes out with a bang, though...should easily reach the mid/upper 90s everywhere east of the Blue Ridge. Not a cheapie.Congrats buddy. Starting to see signs of actual hope on the horizon for anyone in a state not named Montana. Most Septembers at least have a little contrast, this one hasn't at all for we folks under this monstrous, stable, annoying ridge. Same weather every day, it seems, with intermittent rain in between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 We can get 90s here in November, but it's a dry heat by then. It can actually feel quite nice until the fires start. Nothing like a 90 degree day where it's dark at 5:15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Nice frontal passage this evening. Kicked up a lot of dust and leaves, which really showed up on radar. Somehow managed to miss all the rain again, though. Should have N/NE winds until Thursday, which will keep cloud cover elevated but temps in check overall.

Andie Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Texas has finally gotten its place in the Rain. Strong thunderstorms knocked out power to over 800,000 last night. We're at 44* this morning, more rain. High of 64*. Man, am I glad to see the weather turn. It's been a long summer.

Phil Posted October 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Looks like some fog in the DC area tonight. Is it a marine layer?Haha, clever. Radiational cooling in this case..visibility was a few hundred feet here this morning, but it largely cleared out by 830AM (was some of the densest fog I’ve seen this year, in hindsight). Boundary layer moisture is still (relatively) elevated at this time of year, so foggy nights and mornings are very common outside the urban areas in the fall.

Phil Posted October 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Canaan Valley, WV dropped to 17.6*F this morning. They have such an awesome microclimate up there.

Phil Posted October 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 I think LWX might be a tad bearish on wind tomorrow night and Thursday morning, even though the lack of a properly oriented pressure surge should keep gusts below advisory criteria (still have ~50kts @ 850mb under CAA). Wouldn’t be an issue in winter, but with foliage still on the trees and recent stress from drought (plus expected deadwooding after the late summer doldrums) I’d put a HWO out mentioning the hazard on an isolated basis. That first blow of the year always takes out the weak stuff left over from summer’s storms and heat/fungal proliferation.

I realize the fires were and are devastating. Hard to manage things when the Santa Ana winds start up. I guess they had to try something. All those fires last year were just shocking. Gorgeous day today, cool breeze, sunny. Can I order up a year of this?We do need rain, however.

Phil Posted October 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Waves of rain moving in early this AM as the LLJ arrives. Record PWATs forecasted..in excess of 2” possibly by daybreak with 60kts just off the surface.
