Autumn/Fall 2016 Thread (Northern Hemisphere) (snow, warmest, record, Chicago)

[ral31]

76F here at 5 PM with a dewpoint of 69F. It reached 81F earlier this afternoon and the dewpoint got up to 71F.

Severe storms have stayed mostly to my north but there could be some action here tonight.

Here at Aurora, ME, 4:50am this morning (by the temperature recorded by our vehicle), 28F Degrees and frosty! When we got off work (a little north of Bangor), late afternoon, there was about 2" inches of snow on our vehicles, and the temperature was 34F Degrees and it was still snowing/rain mixed...By the time we arrived home there was still a melted snow on the ground and roof. (perhaps we had between 1-2" of snow)..Temperature registered 33F in the vehicle, but on AccuWeather said it was 35F for our area! Two degrees can make a difference!

Looks like this fall in Indianapolis will be the warmest fall season in 85 years(since 1931), and in all probability will turn out to be the 2nd Warmest on modern record(records in Indy date back to 1871), no wonder I have been enjoying this balmy weather so much

Been windy as hell here the whole day while areas to my immediate north are rather calm. The 20 F forecast low tonight looks high unlikely. I really don't understand why this wind would be so localized. Expecting another forecast fail tonight.

With an average of 55.5 with 2 days missing, 2016 will likely have the 3rd warmest fall on record and the warmest since 1931.

Guess what year is in 4th place: 2015. That's 2 of the 5 warmest falls in a row.

1. 1931 57.7
2. 1900 55.6
3. 2016 55.5* *=2 days mm
4. 2015 55.1

The lightning stopped right around the Tennessee/Kentucky border, obviously.

A low of 19 F this morning. Exceeded my expectations, to say the least.

Sounds like you're finally getting below average temps there!. Low of 74F here this morning, ridiculous.

At your expense, it would appear.
