Fall 2020 weather discussion thread (Boston, pressure, warmest, recorded)

Here's NOAA's October forecast. Now shows cooler than normal probabilities for the Southeast; warm especially in the west. Dry for much of the country but high wet probabilities for the FL peninsula - looks like because of tropical moisture early in the month.

Chilly today, so the month will end up with slightly cooler average highs, and overall a Mean temp above normal.

The average in extreme north Alabama, several hundred miles south of Chicago, was only about 4-5 degrees warmer, and was near 2 degrees below normal.

Accuweather is predicting a cold winter this year.

All we managed to reach for the last day of September was 66F here 68F at MDW and 67F at ORD. It was mostly sunny though. The next four days will be much cooler with highs only in the 50s..

Stay away from the C7 Vette as i had to lemon law my new 2019. Fast warm up here this weekend with rain south of me by Sunday. Hope we get a boil up south of Cuba that can turn into a CAT1 and come my way.

September was an above average month at Chicago/ORD. The average high was a tad just below average. Was drier and cloudier than normal too.

I don't think next week's warm up will actually last long

[FrozenI69]

Today a high of just 57 F. Frost is possible at night.

It's interesting that while Indianapolis just experienced our driest September ever with only 0.12 inches of rain, just over 100 miles to the northeast, Fort Wayne had way above normal precipitation with 3.33 inches of rain.

Also, this is the second straight year in Indianapolis that September had less than a half inch of rainfall. Sept. 2019 was then the 3rd (now 4th) driest September ever here.

See I doubt that the warm spell in the 11-15 day will be as warm as the models were saying or even as long.

GFS has been going back and forth with that warm spell for a while now. It will probably change about 5 times again over the next week.
