After a long, cool summer, the temperature and weather feels like fall here in NC. Leaves are changing in Western NC, acorns and hickory nuts are falling in Central NC, and it's getting to be too cold to go into the ocean. I have friends going out to Boone, NC next weekend for fall break and the weather is going to be perfect! Cold temperatures are moving in fast though. There were hard freeze warnings, freeze watches, and frost advisories in Tennessee, Western NC, Western VA, and Eastern KY last night and this morning. Winter is coming.
Cooler Temperatures!
We are going to have fantastic weather today though here in Spartanburg, SC! The high for the game today is going to be around 67 and the skies are going to be sunny. The same can be said for Raleigh! Today in Raleigh the high is going to be in the mid 70s but due to clear skies tonight the low is going to drop to about 40. Bring your jackets tomorrow morning to church! Freeze warnings and frost advisories have also been issued for almost the entire states of North and South Dakota and parts of Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado.
Red Flag Warnings!
Aside from the seemingly persistent wild fires in California, the entire state of Mississippi and part of the panhandle of Florida are experiencing the effects of wild fires right now and are under a red flag warning.
Out in CA, there are only a couple counties under a red flag warning but with the warmth and dry air currently being experienced by the region, it is possible that these fires could spread.
Tropical Activity!
It's the beginning of October and I'm telling you that there is more tropical activity?? Yes! The hurricane season which began on June 1, continues through the month of November and ends on November 30. This is because the Tropical Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are warm enough throughout this period for cyclone formation and sustenance. What is the update for today? Although there is very little to no chance for tropical cyclone formation in the Atlantic for the next 48 hours, Hurricane Simon has now been named in the Pacific. It does not look like Simon will make landfall, but I will be keeping a watch on it.
GAME DAY!
It's game day in Wolfpack Country again! Well, this time it's not IN Wolfpack Country, but hopefully we can pull out a win! NC State has struggled against Clemson in the past....12 years. That was the last time we beat them IN Death Valley (Clemson's Stadium). 2002 was a long time ago but I am confident that we have everything we need to beat Clemson today and turn history around! The last time we beat Clemson in Carter-Finley was in 2011 for homecoming, and we were so close to beating them last year.
The key to the game today is hydration! It's not going to be very hot, actually it's going to be quite cool, but dehydration kicks in quickly when energy is being exerted.
That's all for now! I'll have another couple of posts next week. Have a great weekend!
