High Temperatures today and Sunday. Widespread warmth..........even hot in a few spots. Cool Northwest.
Highs days 3-7. Widespread warmth, then chilly air invades the north while it stays very warm deep south.
New cold surge Northwest, then Northern Plains/Upper Midwest, then Northeast.
How do these days 3-7 temperatures compare to average at this time of year? We are now 8 weeks past the climatological time of year when temperatures are the hottest.
Well above average.............but average in mid September is not that hot anymore.
Very cool Northwest to N.Plains.
High temperature departures:
Low Temperature Departures:
Dew points. 70+ on this scale makes it feel uncomfortable(sticky air)!
More humid air has been returning.
Heat and high humidity COMBINED. Feels like temperature.
Florence is in South Carolina. Cold front N.Plains. High pressure in between.

Too wet in a huge area from massive September rains!
Drier this week, which is minimizing problems to the crops but wet again next week from C.Plains to Upper Midwest. Flooding from Florence is happening and getting worse.
Below are rains compared to average of the last 7, 14, 30 and 60 days. Usually not updated for previous day until late the next day.
Bountiful rains for most of the Cornbelt..............and points eastward and westward. This increased yields in August!!!
But September brought too much rain! Drying out now.

The amazingly warm Sep continues in the SE US, where Atlanta has a high of 95 for the 2nd day in a row. What’s amazing about this is that these 95s are the hottest of the summer so far!
That is amazing Larry!
