AccuWeather: "Autumnlike Chill Sets Records in Central US, South"

"A summertime version of the polar vortex will continue to set record low temperatures in the Plains, Midwest and South this week. Autumnlike chill has also extended into the Appalachians, while the air mass has cooled and dried much of the I-95 corridor."

"The air will feel refreshing to some people but downright chilly and autumnlike to others."

 
How is the weather by your neck of the woods?

It's been cool and rainy here. Love it! the 90's return over the weekend and the weather peeps are now saying by next Weds it will be 99. Yick.
I'm hatching plans for a mountain escape if at all possible.

Currently 85, so it is downright chilly by July standards. Cold overnight, way too cold. It was in the 60s last night. I don't like cold weather. We have had too much of it this year.

Tel Aviv: Sunny with a chance of missile showers

Why is it 'AccuWeather' and not just 'Weather'?

Locally, rather than bother with a simple 'forecast', they've got a 'Futurecast.'

Criminey.

No sightings of UFOs in southeast Texas. It is just rain and 80F.

We had a thunderstorm this morning, which cooled it off a bit...but we are back to 97. For the past three weeks it has been high 90's and over 100 every day. Muggy as well. It feels like the Midwest. Yuck. Very very unusual for us up in the mountains where summer is usually mid 80's and low humidity. It hasn't even cooled down enough at night to be comfortable. We usually cool down to the low 50's at night.

Horrible horrible weather!!

I look at the wunderground.com site to get our weather. Local stations placed in areas that I am familiar with. Much better information and more correct in the main.

It will be useful to remember what the weather was like the day WWIII started ;)

A nippy 68 yesterday, but better today.

Global cooling.

We spent the last 2 days in Chicago. This was planned awhile ago and I had trepidations. I've lived in cities, including Chicago, during the summer. It can be stifling and claustrophobic. It was low to mid 70's! BEAUTIFUL!

Insect free. And that is the reason my tomatoes that I grew from seeds of tomatoes I ate bloomed but formed only a few measly itty bitty tomatoes. What, must I go out there and pollenate them by hand? FINE! I will then.

It's sunny and warm and sometimes it rains a little bit.

A couple days ago the sky looked totally ominous. You can actually observe the darkness of storm encroaching from the mountains. And I go, Man, you better hasten out there and walk around while you can. So I did and I looked up and noticed the edges on one side, brightness beyond the edge, looked more closely and noticed the edges on the distant side, and the edges on the back side, and the edge on the front. The layer of storm cloud was moving as an isolated patch. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Whatever rain would drop wouldn't last long. It couldn't.

Have you ever seen such a thing? It's like a cartoon storm that moves across the sky, passing overhead, covers your little area and then it is gone and the sun it out again. Weird.

Hot. It's hot, and humid, and rainy.

Yesterday that cold front came through. Last night the temps dropped from nightly lows of 76 to a nightly low of 75. I kid you not. And today it only got up to 94 instead of the projected 93. So, cold front strictly in the sense that it wasn't a fucking cold front at all.

Bob Beckel just said it was pretty nippy on "The Five" and still did not get fired.

Liberals never do.

When Chinaman is considered a slur, things have gone to far. Poor Beckel.

Unseasonably cold. Mornings begin in the upper forties, middle seventies by 3 PM, then a drop into the fifties by 8PM.

I'm riding south of Lake Superior and have to wear early Spring/ late Autumn gear most of the day. And there's shrinkage.

Joe Bastardi of Weatherbell, I think the best weather forecaster in the business, says that the coming winter in the northern tier will be colder than last winter's record low temperatures.
