After a Possible Record Warm September the Warmth May Persist Into October

Warm temperatures have dominated much of the U.S. so far in September and many cities are on track to see a record warm September.
If you have been enjoying the summer-like conditions then you may be in luck as much of the contiguous U.S. may have to wait a little longer than usual for fall to set in as there are indications this trend of above-average temperatures will persist into at least the beginning of October.
Typically temperatures become cooler as September progresses, but above-average temperatures may very well last through the end of the month which may allow many of these locations to set records.
Hot temperatures started this month in much of the Plains, Midwest and East and this was followed by a taste of fall. However, above average temperatures returned this past week.
Numerous record highs and record warm lows have been set from the Plains into the Midwest and Northeast last week. A few of these latest records include Fargo, North Dakota, which set a new record warm low temperature of 69 degrees on September 15, Marquette, Michigan, where a new record high of 81 degrees was reached on September 16, Amarillo, Texas, which tied their record high of 97 degrees on September 17 and Burlington, Vermont, where a new record high of 86 degrees was set on September 17.
