Overcast here as well. 73°F right now with a high forecasted to be 76°F. Overcast all this week. Sunny next week with temps in the low to mid 80s.

Our months-long drought has been broken only by a few brief showers, but now the forecast is for an "atmospheric river" to arrive by the weekend and stick around for a while. Bring it on, I say. Oh -- @LadyJane: Please cancel that shipment of water. Thanks!

My eastbound morning commute marked a Stonehenge-type milestone this morning. It was the first time since last spring that the sun was low enough to be below the roof at the top of my i3's windshield. Surely, fall is coming.

We've had sunny days with lows in the 40's F and highs just above 70 F all week. Last night's low was 43 F, and our central AC has been off for a few days now with the windows open. Forecast is for a few more clouds tomorrow, and then a cool/rainy weekend with Saturday's highs not expected to top 60 F. Beautiful weather for working on some weekend interior projects inside the almost-mighty Freightliner.....

I'm too lazy to dig up the FML thread right now. We have a roofing contractor doing a full replacement on Chez Vreihen starting this morning, and a freaking yet-to-be-named tropical storm just popped up off the mid-Atlantic coast with 1-3" of rain forecast here starting before sunrise tomorrow! I can't get out of the front door to check on their progress, but am hoping that they can finish it up this afternoon since we own a modestly-sized house.....

Good luck. At least you’re not on the coast line. I’m a few blocks from the water. We’re supposed to get 50+ mph winds, 10 ft waves and torrential rain. I’ll be binge watching Yellowstone this weekend.

And good luck to you as well. And enjoy your show... I never got in to that one. Maybe I didn't watch enough of it. I know a lot of people like it.

I held off for a long time. I watched the first episode and quit. My sisters and many others kept pushing me but I thought it wasn’t my thing - cowboys and all. Holy shit! I’m hooked. Give it a try. Great show. I’d be content if all I did this weekend was binge a season or two. I know this isn’t the “Great TV Series “ thread but you should also check out Diplomat.

FWIW, the contractors completed our roof replacement just before dark. Looks like we'll be giving it a good test with whatever TS/Hurricane Ophelia throws at us tomorrow.

I still need to hang/connect three more interior lights in the almost Mighty Freightliner, so I expect to be spending some time out in the driveway this weekend taking advantage of the cool temperatures.....

The first week of Fall looks promising.

Yesterday was low-mid 50's F all day, with lots of Ophelia rain. When I arrived at work this morning, it was 52 F in my office! Silly me wore short sleeves, and no jacket or anything! There's rain and a persistent north wind blowing at my windows, and there is a constant air leak that sounds like a kazoo as the wind speeds change. My day today is doing a big application/server upgrade, so I am sort of stuck here in Ice Station Zebra for most of the day. The only warmth is running my hands under hot water in the bathroom sink.....

That was actually grabbed at work in Port Hueneme. When I drive 9 miles home, I get at least an extra 10 degrees.

Heat inland ought to really kick in again right about the harvest moon, especially if Santa Anas kick up.

Now that the autumn rains have come, my observation is that 50F-60F and dry is totally different than 50F-60F and raining. In the latter case, my aged bones are cold! What the devil am I to do when it really gets cold this winter?!

[nyalpine90]

wet n windy for few days

[SRod321]

It's been wet and miserable where I am for about 3 days now... supposed to go play golf Friday but the weather is saying otherwise right now smh...summer please come back 😭😭😭

[UncleWede]

Hey-SUS! It was 53 this morning. I woke up COLD about 2:30. Bedroom glass door was too far away, so I grabbed my robe and threw it over the top of the blanket.

[vreihen16]

The rain from Ophelia has mostly ended here, with only a few showers forecast for today. The northeast wind is still howling though, and the kazoo sound from my office window is still there. Stayed in the low-mid 50's F again all of yesterday and last night.

Our forecast is for that bright yellow ball to be in the sky all day tomorrow.....

A bit early for Indian Summer but it's nice
