Cold Septembrrrr Day

Well, after all of the recent warmth we were just getting used to again, this shot of cool air feels well, cold.

Dewpoint temperatures are plummeting, now down in the mid 30's. With brisk northerly winds and a rapidly drying airmass, the 65+ degree temperatures we're experiencing right now doesn't feel like 65.

Speaking of cold, I checked in with International Falls, MN, the 'icebox of the nation'.
Here is what one NWS product put out earlier today:

1st Recorded Temperature in the Teens for the Month of September at International Falls
The low temperature at 7:06 am this morning at International Falls was 19 degrees. This breaks the record low  for a September 15th, 24 degrees, set in 1964. This is the coldest temperature reported for so early in the season. This also marks the first time in station history that a temperature in the teens has been recorded in the month of September.

Other media outlets are recognizing this early chill for our nation's 'icebox'.
