Lol I kinda agree. I just think it’s neat to see such cold temperatures in October. I’m just a big fan of abnormal weather. A big lover of the extremes. And I’m hoping this big temp change doesn’t get me sick lol

Outer band skirting near you - at least it's an outer band and not another eyewall!

Yeah it’s raining pretty good. Ill take this any day rather than another eye wall this year. Still sitting firmly at 73 in Beaumont while you guys are now enjoying 50 degrees! What a contrast, and so close. 44 tonight for Beaumont so I know its coming...tap tap tap...eventually.

I am about to experience my 4th tropical remnants event of the season here in the Smokey Mountains. Zeta looks to be the most vigorous of the 4 and all modes of weather worries that one would expect is forecast here in far Western NC tonight into tomorrow morning.

That's something you don't see every day! Tropical storm watch over the Smokys and southern Appalachians.

Not sure I’d say that. In Montgomery county my high tomorrow is 61 under sunny skies and dipping into the low 40’s tomorrow night.

Strange feeling yesterday with the 40s in Beaumont while to the east a few miles, a 110mph hurricane making landfall. Cant say Ive ever been in the middle of that scenario before. Thankfully NO received the front right after landfall. So everyone without power can at least enjoy the cool weather and not have to suffer. Hopefully all is ok there and no major damage. Not really seeing reports about it or of any damage. I think everyone is tired of reporting on hurricanes and so moved on to other big stories.
