EDITOR’S NOTE:

Monday

We will be reaching into the mid 90°s for our high today. Bleh. Thankfully dewpoints are in the low 60°s. read more

Ode to Corn Dog 7 | Friday Night Lights: Humid | Decent Weekend | Where’s the Rain?

The smell of corn dogs got caught in the lunchtime air in the Gulch.

Possible it was just me, and I was smelling a mix of construction stench, bachelorette boots, my upper lip, scooter tires, and restaurant exhaust. That this combination makes a corn dog smell is either a local/personal olfactory indictment or some pedal taverner features a corn dog and whiskey cruise which sounds amazing. read more

Very Isolated Showers/Storms Possible this Afternoon; Cooler Thursday; Nice Weekend Expected

Today

As of 8:12 AM, you can see some valley fog! It is very apparent to our east along the Appalachians. You can also see temperatures (in red) and dew points (in green.)

Any fog should mix out as the sun heats up the surface and convection begins for the day. read more

Calm Rest of the Week; Cooler Temps/Lower Dewpoints Arrive Thursday; No Hurricane Dorian Impacts Here

The great weather continues.

Dewpoint temperatures will linger in the mid-60s, leading to some stickiness in the air.

So far, the weather seems uneventful for the remainder of the week:

Wednesday: Cold front moves through. One more day of almost oppressive humidity with a dewpoint of 70°. Could see some rain, but that looks unlikely. read more

Dry and Sunny Week Ahead; Not Much More Than That

Hurricane Dorian. Rising Temps & Humidity. Rain Chances. The “Meteorological Fall” Scam.

TEMPS, HUMIDITY RISE EACH DAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

Saturday 91°.

Sunday 92° but a bit sweaty, mid 60s dewpoints.

Tuesday & Wednesday 93°, upper 60s dewpoints.

It’s still summer.

“METEOROLOGICAL FALL.”

Some nerd is going to tell you tomorrow is the first day of fall, “meteorological fall.” I usually side with meteorology nerds BUT NOT THIS TIME, TREVOR, there is nothing “fall” about September 1. Meteorological Fall is Fake Fall. It’s useful for climate stats but nothing else. read more
