September headed for the record books as cooler air finally arrives

 

Temperatures have been fairly mild over the past couple weeks. We had a few 80s last week and picked up another one on Tuesday when the high hit 81°. Wednesday is expected to be another warm day with highs in the upper 70s - about 10° above-average. Temperatures do look to cool down for the end of the week into the weekend. Saturday is the only below-average day in the 7-day forecast and even then the forecast is only 1° below the average of 66°.

It's been warm, but some may not realize just how warm it's been compared to the records. Through September 24, the month is tied for the second warmest September on record. With some cooler air on tap this weekend it will likely fall a little in the record books but still impressive.
