Good Saturday, everyone. It may seem odd to issue a Pot Of Chili Watch on a day with temps nearing 90, but we’ve never been accused of being normal around here. 🙂 A big blast of fall temps arrives Monday and carries us through the week ahead.
This front will work quickly from west to east on Monday, with a gusty band of showers and storms along it…
That is a CLASSIC fall storm system and cold front, and will cause a huge drop in temps as the day wears on Monday.
Highs from Tuesday through Thursday should hit the upper 60s to low 70s for many. Overnight lows will drop into the 40s…
That is going to feel absolutely amazing!!
While the numbers will rebound by next weekend, don’t expect anything close to where we have been over the past few weeks.
From there, the pattern into the first week of October suggests the potential for a big tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico. Several recent runs of the GFS have been showing something…
The model has actually been pretty good with tropical signals from a week or two away. Well over a week ago, it was showing something trying to head toward the southeastern coast. That system is actually Hurricane Karl that’s near Bermuda, so it did pretty good in recognizing the overall pattern.
Have a great day and take care.
We need rain. There are cracks in my yard wider than the Grand Canyon.
Know it’s early but latest Model run’s are quite scary..has this beast not interacting with land then going all the way into the Western Carolina’s into W.V..Could be the real deal this time….Let’s hope not..
Woke up to a surprise 4 inch snowfall in Laramie Wyoming this morning. I’m ready to come home!
So I just took a shower and then I decided to go out back to soak up about 10 min’s of sun. That sun is HOT. I felt like I was on the equator or something, like the surface of the sun was right up in my face.
Impressively, we are on track to have a hotter September this year than we did in August 2015…the last few days may hurt a little with the cool down, but for now, the Lexington average is 75 degrees…pretty neat.
I’ve noticed that over the last couple days these temps keep getting adjusted upward. Not a good sign. Friday, it was only going to be 81 on Sunday and 78 on Monday with the front coming through Monday night. Now the front isn’t here til WEDNESDAY and Sunday is 90 and Monday is close to it and we don’t get below 80 until Wednesday.
