One of those days where the sun feels great. But once a cloud covers it then it’s chilly

I don’t remember asking, but as I was reading your August summary above, I thought to myself, “Wow. I wonder how many times he didn’t hit 90 in August?”

Perfect night to curl up into a bed with 4 blankets until I wake up from a dream in the caymans covered in sweat.

Sometimes forecasting is hard and a PITA. Sometimes its easy. in the case of this weekend, all you had to do was see the giant cold pool drifting southeast across the region

Our beautiful near autumnal Labor Day weekend continues with lows in the 50's and highs in the mid to upper 70's through Tuesday. We warm slightly above normal on Wednesday before trending cooler again to close out the work week. Our next chances of rain looks to be on Thursday with the passage of a cold front.

Somehow managed measurable precip every day this month so far and up to .85 total. Nice flip from August.

I'm visiting family for the holiday and wasn't watching the radar closely. Did anyone capture a file?

In the northern part, close to Lake Wilson.

Just doing August numbers got me thinking about when @nw baltimore wxasked several years ago how many years I had with no +90 days in August, so I went and pulled it up from the August 2020 thread- "OK, years without a 90 or greater in August...2017, high 89.3 18th. 2014, high 88.2 29th. 2013, high 87.7 10th. 2012, high 89.7 10th. 2008, high 89.5 on 5th and 21st. 1982, high 89 on 4th. and this year, so 7 years total. LOTS of years with only one or two 90+ days including 1984, 1986, 1989, 1992, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2016. Hottest I have recorded is 102 degrees on July 17th 1988 and Aug 1st 1999, 101's on Aug 20 and 21 1983, June 30th and July 9th 2012 and Aug 17 and 18 2007." So, we can add this year with the 87.4 on the 15th, 88.2 for the 22nd in 2023 and 88.9 for the 10th of 2022. That makes 10 years out of 46 now. Weird how majority are after 2008, and they seem 'clustered'.

We should get into the 40s tonight

Yup extended looks great for September

A break in an overall dry next 7 days here outside some scattered storms/showers on Wed night/ Thu. Rain focused into the Southeast, Southwest mansoon, PAC tropical influence and the much needed deluge over the canadian fires

Atlantic vacation: Pacific buzzing

Sounds like a CWG forecast.

The period from and beyond mid month has been a bit of a back and forth between the warm-hot GFS to now the warm ridegy ECM and the can with Oklahoma ridge center

I can't wait for that to appear in a GIS and show up on twitter represented as fact.

The high winds also damaged a hangar and three other buildings. A cold front produced strong winds and blowing dust in the Northern High Plains, with gusts to 54 mph reported at Buffalo SD. Powerful Hurricane Gabrielle and strong easterly winds combined to create waves up to ten feet high along the southern half of the Atlantic coast. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 2003: Hurricane Isabel was first named on September 6th, 2003. It would reach Category 5 status and eventually make landfall in North Carolina as a Category 2. 2017: Category 5 Hurricane Irma affected the US Virgin Island and Puerto Rico. Maximum sustained winds were at 180 mph when the storm hit St. Thomas & St. John. Catastrophic damage was reported over the US Virgin Island & significant damage over Puerto Rico, especially over Culebra.

I'm here in Cambridge (Assembly Row) for the weekend, and it feels like fall (cool and crisp). High might not even reach 70 today. The high at Logan Airport might be barely over 70.

Had posted in the other thread EWR matched 2015 with all days in August >80 and was leading in overall 80 degree days. 118 2015, and 117 in 2024. Year Rank Days >= 80 °F 2015 1 118 2024 2 117 2021 3 116 1994 4 114 2016 5 113 1993 5 113 1991 5 113
