oh goody - the one week I am planning a vacation.  Good thing we bought some trip insurance for this EXACT reason.

BNA and MEM have both recorded 100F as of 4:30. Going to be 50F colder in 36 hours.

The cold front looks to be on the move with temperatures in the mid 50’s in NW Kansas and many locations over 100 in SE Kansas.

Heck of a  down there. I'm watching y'all torch from afar as Upstate NY is within a slight risk from the SPC, which is rare for this area. My shot-in-the-dark prediction at the end of August that the western half of TN wouldn't be finished with 100s yet verified. The Plains ridge has been so hard to erase.

Enjoy the cooldown! First snow is tap for the highest elevations in the Adirondacks on Thursday night going into Friday morning.

The first strong north wind of Fall. So refreshing.

This weekend looks to be as close to perfect as you can get for late September. We'll be at an outdoor event for most of the day with sunny weather in the upper 70s. The mornings will be chilly enough to let us know that fall is really here. It's a wonderful time of year when we get to have a season like this rather than going from summer straight to winter.

I call a true classic fall day with highs upper 60s low in lower 40s.  The mid 80 least look be coming back end next week

That's a classic late fall day, as in November. Fall is a gradual transition. There's early fall, mid-fall, and late fall, with a big difference in weather from start to finish. No one should be expecting weather that cool this early (and, I don't want anything quite that cool just yet anyway). Starting to see more 70s and 50s (with some intermittent rises back into the 80s before the next fronts) is par for the course for late September/early October. This week was indeed hot/broke some records... but, at least we are cooling off today with more fall-like weather with some nicer 70s and 50s again as we move forward. Warming trends after cool-offs are to be expected before the next cool shots.

It will be a good while before we get to 60s and 40s. I personally enjoy the journey on the way there.

1974-1976 were all anomalously cool early autumns. But all the other years in the '70s were almost identical to the weather we've had thus far this September. Data doesn't lie.

Perhaps, you are remembering those anomalously cool early autumns (1974-1976) that Crockett cited.

Memory fades, my friend.
