I am nowhere near a weather guy, nor do I claim to be. However, I know quite a few, and our local and surrounding guys I trust way more than most. Ole Zack Fradella is one of them. He claimed recently on his Facebook page that there is a solid chance we could see some fall-type weather next week.

Now, please keep this in mind. When we see the lows dip below 70 at night for the first time, we tend to lose our minds as residents of SWLA. I am just as guilty as the rest in this. It hits and I am ready to break out my gumbo pot, chili pot, crock pot, and whatever else I can find that means it's wintertime. You long for the day you can throw a hoodie on and be cozy. I am here to remind you that we are not in Fall just yet. This is just "False Fall". Like when a stripper says you're cute to drag you back for a private dance. It's only going to last for 3 min and you'll be out 50 bucks and sad when it's all done.

Understand we still have our Second Summer coming after False Fall and THEN we will get into Actual Fall. Just wanted to save you some heartache and keep your mind right as we get into this tease of a season.
