Yes...this weekend is when I consider summer, and 80s over.

Made it up to 84 before the clouds arrived

I'm kind of fine with punting December. We haven't really had much cold and snow the past few years anyway in that month. Granted, I don't want 70s... but it seems as many knowledgeable posters have stated across the numerous threads... December is gone

That's going to go bye-bye over the weekend. Pretty good early cold in mid/N Ontario scooting into the Maritime of Canada, and the big polar high associated goes over-top our latitude Sunday. Coolest look we've seen since spring Thickness are below 560 much more convincingly for a couple days early next week. We'll bounce back, but at the continental scale this appears to be a kind of first step in seasonality, although it looks more pattern specific. Still, it is nearing the Equinox so some sort of 'step down' isn't outlandish. Doesn't mean we wont get a warm humid but the 570s ambience might be done until next spring.

Yea, I used that chart in my last blog....likely explains the continuation of the warm pool east of Japan.

Dews near or over 70 out there. Feels awesome . Endless summer rolls on

A little sticky but pleasant out there to start today..been clearing out some old brush in the back and it def has that summery feel to the air which is nice when everyone and their grandma seems to be ready to close the books on this precious season. Gotta enjoy it while we still can.

Last September we had <0.50" for the whole month, so this year is much wetter. Sitting at 2.76 for the month already here.

Been such a snoozer up my way for the longest time.

.25” rain this morning. Very very nice. Next week looks incredible!!!

we're gonna be doing a lot of torching this winter

AAM is an abbreviation for Atmospheric Angular Momentum try searing on the full text instead of AAM -

You can tell we are slowly getting to that warm ENSO state. Plenty of +U in the NH. Still some residual ridging out west of the Aleutians but even that’s weakening and probably flattens out with time.

It's the big Heat Dome that plagued the Southern Plains all Summer. Question is, will it finally dissolve, shift Eastward out into the Atlantic, become a Bermuda High, weaken then rebound etc.. The back Westward shift.is unlikely as the STJ should barrel into the SW. Come Winter, if there's any semblance of this Feature,whether stll alive(low odds) or ressurrected, it could have quite an effect, especially if it becomes formidable then. IF it were to it would probably setup in the SW Atlantic due to the STJ forcing. Where out there would determine our Pattern Outcome; out by the Sargasso Sea would be great if you want Snow. Further West mild and probably wet.

Warm/dry, cold/wet?

An interesting thing about the GLAAM is that when it's plotted on a latitudinal basis, it's actually shown to be strongly in the negative direction around the mid-latitudes. It almost looks like a glitch but it has been moderately to strongly negative at various other points since July. Perhaps some interference somewhere?

BAM is anticipating an Omega block to form next week. https://x.com/bam_weather/status/2100011954584617218

That's pretty typical in the warmer months, though, right? That said, this has been one of the most humid summers that I can recall...certainly since those legendary summers of 2017 and 2018. What we're really missing are those southern storms or even tropical remnants, but the overall base state airmass since spring implies we may get more of those this year.

Showers and storms a bit early?

For those in RI, E CT, and SE MA that want to try pawpaws

Next week is going to feel very fall with highs in the 60's and rain. I'm kind of looking forward to it honestly but I'm also one of those weird ones that like long cool rainy days

There is a chance that this is ushering in the pattern change.

We’ve had worse torchmases

It's part of his reverse psychology strategy.

Just looking at the real time Pac ssta plots makes it really hard (for me) to make a case for a remotely cold December. PDO index #s have trended less hostile but thats only a numerical index.... the visual of the Pac is quite hostile still and it's a long ways away from what we consider a favorable enso/pdo combo.... There's a lot of rippin deep red where we want anything but lol As fall progresses it should continue to cool and reconfigure towards at least a semi normal Npac during a Nino but its hard to ignore how ugly the Npac is right now. Its hard to imagine a favorable pac pattern setting in quick for the Eastern conus. This is one of the main reasons I think the Dec CFS idea makes sense.
