WOW! What A Shot!

Jim Rogers sent this picture in from his little getaway cabin in Graham County, North Carolina. He says it's his little place to go to watch the grass grow and the fence rust. And obviously it's a great place to watch the sun set. Thanks for sending it Jim. I'm going to put my feet up and stare at it for awhile.
I had a two day rainfall of 2.3" at my house. Many of you saw between .5" and 2". Chattanooga officially recorded .89" in the last two days which puts the monthly rainfall at 1.9". Oddly enough we are now exactly 1.9" below average for September. Normally we would get 4.3" for the month. Last year by this time we had over 8"!
Think about how different this year's weather would have been without the tropical systems bringing much needed rain to the area.
Our next weather maker will be a front that pushes through Wednesday night through early Thursday. I don't see much rain during that time frame though. Most areas should end up with less than 1/10", but some spots could see 1/10" to 1/4". There is cool air behind the front though. Look for highs in the upper 70s to around 80 from Thursday right into the weekend. So October will start off on a cool and dry note. Enjoy it!
And if your sunset doesn't suit you, print out Jim's picture and tape it to the window.
