Using the @MidwestClimate cli-MATE tool the @flyavlnow (POR 1946-curr) record is 14 days in October. @NWSGSP @NOAANCEI @NCSCO @EFisherWX
The ongoing stretch of <40°F nights in WNC is unusual. If it continues unbroken, Asheville could approach one of its five longest October streaks with daily lows below 40°F. Not a jaw-dropping record, but a notably persistent run of cool nights for October.

Now that the tropics have turned quiet again, let’s look ahead to this winter. A super El Niño means big boom/bust potential for the Carolinas. There have only been 3 super El Niños on record since 1950. Here’s what happened in each of those winters.

The great pumpkin escape! 🎃💨 A giant inflatable pumpkin made a run for it in Cary, North Carolina, just outside Raleigh, as strong winds from Isaias sent it rolling away. And yes, the pumpkin made it back home!

JUST IN: Saildrone Explorer SD-1045 passed through the eye of Category 3 Hurricane Isaias, recording wind gusts over 90 knots (103 mph). This is the same USV that filmed inside Hurricane Sam in 2021, setting a Guinness World Record. Watch ↓ @NOAA_AOML @noaapmel

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been two years… 45 known tornadoes (3 EF3’s, 6 EF2’s, 25 EF1’s, 7 EF0’s, & 4 EFU’s) occurred prior to Hurricane Milton’s landfall, the most tornadoes associated with any tropical cyclone in Florida history. Loop: NWS Melbourne/IEMCOW
October 8-9, 2024: One of Florida's largest tornado outbreaks on record was spawned by Hurricane Milton. 45 tornadoes impacted the Sunshine State, nine of which were significant (EF2+). Six people were killed by an EF3 at the Spanish Lakes community near Fort Pierce. #wxhistory

If #Isaias sounds familiar, it should. Hurricane Isaias hit North Carolina in 2020. It brought bad storm surge to Oak Island, high winds to the coast, and lots of tornadoes to NC.
