September 2023

Mosquitoes 🦟 are back in full force. Thats for sure! C’mon first strong front!

Not here. Haven’t seen one yet.

112° days here killed a lot of them in CLL. We'll take any of the few perks of this record smashing summer.

The heat index is going crazy out there again. Pushing 110°F.

So much for Fall.

I've been wearing flannel long shelves all week and light jacket in the evenings since last weekend. Leaves are beginning to show some color with our morning lows in the upper 40’s to low 50's. I'm about 2 to 3 weeks away from our first frost of the Fall season here in the Smoky Mountains. Daytime highs are running in the low 70's and the days are getting shorter quickly now.

Fake Fall has arrived yet again, that first real fall front cant come soon enough, mid 90’s with a feels like of 102 is beyond disgusting for late september

Lucky you! My Bur Oak has dropped a good 1/3 of its leaves already in the past week or so. Poor thing couldn’t produce anywhere close to the amount of huge acorns this year. Drought and heat was too much this year. Even biweekly watering didn’t help much.

If y’all don’t know how big bud oak acorns are, look it up online. Squirrels love them and they make cool ornaments too. The leaves are huge and fills up bags quick. Plenty of pumpkin trash bags in the yard already lol

Last night's futurecast showed storms for part of our area this evening, but also showed them weakening as soon as they got to Houston too. We'll see.

Off to play Fall Baseball in Shiner.

F*** heat. Tired of this crap weather. I’d rather watch and play Baseball in 50 degree weather than this stew.

[jasons2k]

Monitoring the storms off the the NE to see if they can build this way later. Looks like a close call.

[Cromagnum]

Figures. As soon as Harris County is in sight...poof.

Doesn’t make much sense considering the time of day with ample heating out in front of it.

For a few runs now the HRRR has been showing a storm complex moving into the area tomorrow morning. We'll see...

[Cromagnum]

Whole lot of action to the northwest

Bad timing. I’d rather it come in during the late afternoon or evening. Morning storms are typically on the weaker side.

[Stratton20]

Wouldnt be surprised if those cells to the NW of me weaken, seems like thats the new normal lol

The CPC forecast is looking better for the first week in October but I don’t really see nothing too much on the models yet for that timeframe. I guess we’ll see.

[DoctorMu]

A *broken* line of showers should move through CLL. Whether they make it to or past I-10 is a coin flip.

[DoctorMu]

Broken line:

That cell near Austin is no joke. I think we get a miss or maybe a sprinkle.

[MontgomeryCoWx]

Looks like I may get popped.

Saw that line in the way of distance just now, when driving back from Shiner to Weimar.

We're mostly getting gapped as expected. About 5-6 drops of rain. The streets remain dry as storms are to our east and west. Frequent thunder is merely Lucy giving us the digit.

102°F for the high today and yesterday, making it a record smashing 73rd day of 100°F temperatures this year.

We may not get much rain, but it *could* be the end of century mark temps in CLL.
