I am amazed that line stayed intact all the way to Indianapolis around 4:30 this morning. It dumped 3/4 of an inch of rain on us as it came through. It seems pretty rare, especially for a line so thin, to make it all the way from there to here during the overnight hours.
It's about ****ing time. High temperatures are still in the 90s here in Georgia. This is the first time since 1954 that Atlanta has had a 90°F day in October. For that matter, Atlanta has an ongoing record of 152 consecutive days with low temperatures at or above 60°F. The last time the low temperature was below 60°F in Atlanta was May 4, which is a record the earliest that the temperature has ever stayed above 60°F going into summer. In fact, the latest that the temperature in Atlanta has stayed above 60°F coming out of the summer is October 9, so that record is about to fall as well. From May 1-October 3, Atlanta has had 116 days with above-normal high temperatures, and only 15 days with below-normal low temperatures.
If there's an consolation, it's that the summer and early-fall pattern we've been in has drawn comparisons to 2002, which was right before the cool, wet winter of 2002-2003. If I remember correctly, there was a weak El Nino in 2002-2003, and there's a weak one forecast for this coming winter too, so hopefully we'll get a nice pattern flip and stay consistently mild to cool. Unfortunately, there was a major severe weather event in November 2002 before the cold settled in, so that could be something to look out for this November.
What else is new. A blob of rain in lower hudson Valley. Moving southeast towards the coast
