Plenty of rain, no tropical worries, and are the 80s gone for good?

The current buzz about possible impacts from Tropical Depression Nine (potentially to become Imelda) won't include Mecklenburg County. Given the existing steering currents that system will remain well off the southeastern coast this week per this graphic from the National Hurricane Center:

However, clouds and rain will remain locked in across the local area for the first part of the work week, thanks to a leftover frontal boundary and its associated low pressure center. Saturday's rainfall totals (in inches on this graphic) are from this combination of weather features.

With that boundary having slid south and east of the area today will be dry. Skies will remain mostly cloudy but there will be a few peeks of sunshine here and there. Temperatures this afternoon will top out in the upper 70s before sagging into the mid-60s tonight.

Rain will move back in on Monday and continue throughout Tuesday. Local gauges will register another half-inch to an inch of liquid on top of yesterday's totals. By Wednesday sunshine looks to become more prevalent as cooler and drier air is pushed into the area by strong high pressure. Afternoon high temperatures will be in the low 70s through midweek, and by week's end may not even reach the 70º mark.

Could this be the end of the 80s this year? With October approaching that could well be true, but stranger things have been known to occur(!).
