Long-range operationals this morning across the board are some of the most hostile shear parameters I can recall over the Atlantic Basin for early September in well over a decade. Perhaps even further back past previous dead peaks. This in of itself is quite fascinating.

I'm at the Jersey shore from Sept 6 - 12. After the 12th it can get cool. Just give me one decent warm week at the beach.

Looks like a fish to me.

The GFS is actual trash. The fact it only just now finally dropped this system after developing it as quick as it was just shows how bad it still is. It had this as a 996mb system today a few days ago lmao

Not really totally weather related but wow. I very seldom go down to the Boston area. It's been many years. We went down yesterday and it amazing to see how much solar is down there compared to up here in Grafton County NH. Is it we are cloudier and further north or politics? We love our solar roof and have had credit electric bills the past few months. Sunny weather is boring but it does help the mood when the meter is "spinning" backward.....and with my electric car we were able to make it back on electric. So I'm glad it's a sunny day to charge the car back up. I try to charge on sunny days. Ok, back to weather...

Way more Massholes up here than normal resdistributing their body heat to get away from all of the rain

Got it... Thanks, I forgot about Polar wx

Looks like MHT has 30 year normals, but I’m not sure what the statistical process is to incorporate (or not incorporate) that chunk of years from the 90s.

Do pawpaw trees throw heat? 2.7 above in Concord while Manchester is 0.4 above 20 miles to the South.

Not sure what they’re using for normals at MHT because the climate records didn’t start back up there again until ASOS took over in 96 or 97 there. So they would technically be outside the 1991-2020 window. Maybe they’re using 15 year normals there while everyone else is on 30?

Yeah no thanks. I was just coming on here to post that lawns in my neck of the woods by looking green and lush thanks to 5 or so inches of rain in the last 30 days. And of course the slightly less murderous sun angle. It is a nice change of pace from the last several Augusts, which I think have been pretty crispy. But I think in some ways heat that bad in early September is worse than heat that bad in June or July. It doesn't hurt as much because the days are shorter and the sun's not as strong, but it just doesn't feel right.

Can't beat this weather with a stick. Sunny and 57 this morning. Just can't ask for more to close out August.

Yep. If we are going to add any ACE to August will have to come from 96L and that is struggling this morning. I'm still taking the under on the CSU 2026 seasonal ACE of 50.

Almost hard to envision that meteorologically. Had to be a very blocked pattern with a negatively tilted trough axis just west of the region and a gyre spinning off the coast drawing in cold, moist air from the north Atlantic.

Something is up with the MHT records. Theres been ongoing discrepancy between the two, but this month is glaring. MHT is 0.4F for Aug. Avg temp is warmer than CON this month, so I dont think its just a warm sensor

ha, didn't think it would happen with the 8:00 update lol

"On the 233rd consecutive day of rains, I fastened the business-end of the noose to Sally-Mae's tree house and donned thy rubbers for added weight"

August 2026 continues to close on the monthly temperature record. The gap is now larger than 0.1°C. The daily mark has fallen for 17 consecutive days, the fourth longest such streak. All of the four longest streaks and 15 of the 16 longest ones have occurred since 2023. The single exception is February 24-March 7, 2016 (13 days), which is in a three-way tie for 7th longest.

No way.

So much for the +10 everyone forecasted, right?

June 1903 at BOS…holy hell at that stretch around the solstice

Check out that JJA for all sites. Absolutely unreal. It’s hard to imagine that happening today.

My dream-August, that's what.

Brutal
