I was not expecting to wake up to 43 degrees this morning.

Several spots had another top 5 and top 10 warmest summer which has become the norm since 2010.

Min 48.8° A lot of low to mid 40s in the valleys again.

40.3 dangit lol

Downsloped to mid 70’s. Zero complaints. Beautiful. Will be near 80 today.

@GaWx As expected, geomag is picking up again

MDT was -10.4 for 8/30 and Capital City Airport was -13.4. Interesting considering Capital City records go back to 1939 and MDT only 1992.

low of 49

Stop reading the CC forum or you'll go blind! Seriously, Euro weeklies have winds at 10mb dying down if that forecast can be trusted.

13-14 was one of the strongest ++AO/++NAO winters in history, I believe it was second only to the 88-89 winter. It was 100%, all Pacific driven. We went into a Victoria mode PDO (psuedo +PDO) and had relentless strong +PNA/-EPO/-WPO all winter long. The PAC side behaved like an El Niño despite the cold-neutral ENSO that was in place

44 degrees this morning for the low. 1.40 precipitation for the month. Down about 2.5” of rainfall

I knew it was dry, but I hadn't really looked at the monthly total. I'm under an inch as well at just 0.91"

DCA _ NYC _ BOS ___ ORD _ ATL _ IAH ___ DEN _ PHX _ SEA -0.2 -0.4 -0.3 -0.8 +0.2 +0.5 +1.0 +1.5 +2.5

Willing to bet there will be a notable warm spell in the northeast US in late September lasting into early October. It will take a while for the western ridge to deflate but it won't be there longer than 2-3 weeks.

The summer pretty much ended on August 17 in NYC this year. The pattern started to turn cooler around August 1. If not for the August 12-17 heatwave, summer would have pretty much ended on July 31.But knowing that the heat has been absent the last 2 years at this time of year (during the US Open), I'm willing to bet we are due for record heat at this time next year. After all, NYC hasn't reached 100 degrees during this time of year since 1953. NYC is way overdue for one.

High yesterday was 74 at O'Hare. I got to enjoy The Lumineers concert at Soldier Field. Today will be my last day in Chicago.

Big CME on the way. Hearing a G3 solar storm is likely and G4 is possible. Any possible aurora would be Monday night.

Keep an eye on the Carla Cradle and along any stalled boundaries along the Gulf. I believe East Coast threats are limited for the time being and possibly for the rest of the Season.

Nope this is the Beginning of one of the best Winters in Mid Atlantic history. It's starting. I am SO HAPPY for you guys! This winter is going to be unbelievably snowy cold and unendingly FUN!

I saw bluewave posted in the climate change forum, The Arctic circle trough that I had been tracking ended up maxing out at 4980dm yesterday, which is the lowest 500mb height on record in the Northern Hemisphere for August. It's akin to the 10" of snow that fell in Florida last Winter happening again.

PIT has only recorded 6 consecutive lows of 51 or below in August once, in 1968. We’re currently at 5.

I had some rain this morning. The low that gave me that is now offshore. My initial estimate is 0.4”. That puts me at ~17.1” for the month!

I was just looking at my stats for August and somehow I hadn't noticed that I've only had 0.82" of precip for the entire month! Yet another month with under 1.00" for the total. This marks the 2nd month this year under 1". January was the other month with just 0.85". And yet, just 3 months ago I was closing out May with almost 9" of precip. These wild swings are insane.

We'll be back in a few weeks suffering through another season of despair.

It did. It was an unusually dramatic change.
