6:30AM 59 and cloudy.

Lots of wind all night long. First I've heard that in a while. We have another SE gale coming Wed. and heavy rain is predicted for Sitka Wed and Thurs.

When autumn arrives, it does so with a vengeance.

5:45AM: 48F, clear skies, 4 mph wind barely registers as Sitka waits breathlessly for the next storm system to come through.

Tears from heaven will start falling in earnest on Friday and I will glory in the sorrow...

I'm diggin' this poetic weather thing. I need to work up something in iambic pentameter next time.

Calm winds, overcast with ground fog snaking down Goldstream Creek toward the west. Low last night was 40°F on Keystone Ridge. #MyAlaskaWx

5:00AM: 47F, partly cloudy, still as the grave. (I've decided to try to be a bit more flamboyant in my weather descriptions.)

I was thinking yesterday at 4:30 that it was officially autumn because I wore a hoodie for the first time this season while walking the dog at Totem. Yay!

I also wore a knee brace for the first time in Totem, but I'd rather focus on summer's decline instead of my own. 😜

@AlaskaWx @themattphelps @CarrieinFbx Seems like continuous moisture transport from the sw. The brief gaps of sunshine are nice though. Harvested all of the squash and tomatoes Saturday in the sunshine. Roof water collection is saturated - we could open a car wash. #MyAlaskaWx

South Fox: each morning at 7am I make a climate observation: today (Monday Sept 4) was the 19th straight day with some rain in the preceding 24 hours. And yet the total rainfall in that period is only 2.37 inches, which is only slightly above normal. 💦☔️#MyAlaskaWx

6:30AM: 52F, light rain, gloriously dark and gloomy. Highs in the mid-50s, lows in the low 50's.

This has been a wonderful start to the "ber" months. 😉
