I hope you’re hungry...for nothing
Well, it’s finally here, y’all! Fall-like weather has finally settled in and will hang around for the next about week. Yes, we’ll have a fair few days with warmer-than-normal highs, but morning low temperatures will stay fairly comfy and near seasonable! As we surge into October, we’re searching for another cold front to help drop our temperatures, but prospects are slim.
This morning is the BEST morning of weather we’ve seen, well, since yesterday. Our morning temperatures are cooler than where they were 24 hours ago and our morning lows are near and even slightly below average! Temperatures out the door are in the upper 50s and lower 60s. With full sunshine and a few clouds today, expect late-day highs to settle in the mid-to-upper 80s which is close to average for this time of year. If you’re heading out to watch a football game tonight, you’ll be treated to the best football weather we’ve seen so far this season as kickoff temperatures in the lower 80s will gradually cool into the low 70s by the end of the day. Today, by the way, is the equalux! It’s one of two days in the year when we have nearly exactly 12 hours of daylight. Technically, we have less than 12 hours of daylight today, clocking in at 11 hours, 59 minutes, and 57 seconds. Sunrise and sunset is roughly 20 minutes after 7 today. The next time we’ll see over 12 hours of daylight is March 16th, 2026.
The forecast for the weekend and much of next week is about the same. There will be a slight afternoon temperature increase and a smaller morning temperature increase and we will see high temperatures closing in on 5° above average by the middle of next week. Saturday and Sunday features similar weather to what we will see today with morning lows in the low 60s and afternoon highs warming into the upper 80s as humidity stays low. The return of lower 90s arrives mid-week next week and morning temperatures will warm into the mid-60s too, but it’ll still be generally pleasant for much of the daytime hours and of course during the night too. There are signs of a weak cold front pushing in next weekend, but the temperature drop looks minimal and the rain chances are only near 10% for now.
We turn our attention to the tropics now. Tropical Storm Humberto strengthened into Hurricane Humberto this morning and is set to strengthen into the major hurricane early next week. Humberto is set to move northwest and likely curves out to sea after splitting between North Carolina and Bermuda. The bigger concern is from what will eventually be Tropical Storm Imedla. Invest 94, as it’s currently called, is still over the island of Hispaniola this morning and is drifting northwestward. It’ll eventually emerge over water and should gradually gather strength as it moves toward the Bahamas, likely strengthening into a tropical storm by Sunday. It’s looking likely that Imelda will make landfall in the Carolinas early next week as a tropical storm or hurricane. There are no other tropical systems threatening the United States at this time.
