September weather summary
Garland Climatology for September, 2023 (1991-2020 averages in parentheses):
average max: 73.9F (71.2F) average
average min: 57.1F (51.8F) average
extreme max: 90F this year
extreme min: 45F this year
total precipitation: 6.18in (4.12 in.) average
total snowfall: 0.0 in. (0.0 in.)
September reverted back to being a noticeably warmer than usual month that kept it in line with most of the other months of 2023 so far. This was especially true of the average mins which ended up being 5.3F degrees warmer than usual for a typical September. This compared with the average maxes which were “only” 2.7F degrees warmer than usual. Part of the reason had to do with the extended summer-like warmth than occurred during the first third of the month and which also had summer-like humidity. But even when the general pattern cooled off during the middle of the month when we tended to get more Canadian or north Atlantic air, nightly temperatures and humidity levels continued to be noticeably milder than usual since both Canada and the north Atlantic continued to be much warmer than usual. We also had a peculiar precipitation pattern throughout the course of the month which could be broken up into thirds. The first third was hot and humid with a lot of tropical air coming up the east coast; the second third was seasonably cooler but still humid as a number of moisture-laden storms passed by, including a near miss by Hurricane Lee; and finally, the last third of the month remained seasonably cooler, but also much drier with no rain at all for the whole period. I should point out that strong high pressure that had become stuck over Quebec during the latter part of the month blocked the advance of a very wet low pressure system that caused record flooding in the New York City area along with lesser amounts in southern New England. But that’s as close as the rain came to our region since the high pressure remained stuck in place over us; all we saw were some broken clouds as well as some high level haze from the continuous wild fires that were still burning across much of Quebec under that blocking high pressure system. We ended up with 15 cooling degrees rather than the 105 heating degrees that a more “normal” September would have had because of the excessive warmth that persisted all month. This compares with 112 heating degrees for last year which was a bit cooler than usual.
'State-sanctioned swatting' allowed cop to assault teens in 'personal vendetta' for doorbell prank: lawyer
Delaware State Trooper Dempsey R. Walters allegedly beat two teens after a prank
By Chris Eberhart Fox News
Published September 30, 2023
A Delaware state trooper's "heinous attack" on two teenagers in response to a doorbell-ditch prank was "unspeakably violent," one of the teen's lawyers, Sam Davis, said.
Trooper Dempsey Walters, 29, was indicted on several criminal charges after he allegedly beat a 17-year-old and held him at gunpoint during an arrest.
Then he allegedly punched a handcuffed 15-year-old "with such force" that it broke his orbital socket and gave him a concussion with complications causing "severe brain trauma," Davis said.
