September 2023 Climate Records
|
|
No Records were broken during the last month.
|
September 7th: A cold front pushed through central Georgia on the afternoon on the 7th. Dewpoints out ahead of the front had risen into the high 60s as warm moist air was pushed in from the SE. Surface based CAPE had risen to around 1500 J/KG south of a line from Athens to Columbus. A few discrete storms that formed before the line came together produced a number of quarter sized hail reports. As the line moved through, numerous reports of wind damage came in with winds exceeding 50kts near Macon.
 |
 |
September 12th: Warm weather and general afternoon convection was supported by some marginal upper level shear that allowed for a number of pulse convective storms to organize enough to produce some small hail and a number of damaging wind reports generally in the eastern portion of the CWA. Instability was generally around 2,000 J/KG and dewpoint were in the mid to upper 60s.

Based on the Climate Prediction Center's outlook for October, Georgia has equal chances for above, below or near normal temperatures. For precipitation, all of north and central Georgia has a 40-50% chance of below normal precipitation.
