First fall like day had a low of 47 here at 7 am this morning and a high of 73 at 4 pm pristine blue skies. First 40s here since June.

Well you’re in the Mid Atlantic.

Absolute stunning day out on Buzzards Bay. Calm, blue skies, light breeze. Spent a lot of the afternoon exploring some of the inlets and tidal rivers. This however, is looking towards Old Silver Beach.

Da da da da da It's the motherfuckin Weather W-I-Z

For a couple of nights around 9/11 two strong light beams will be lit on the summit of Mt Washington. Similar to what they do in NYC. This will be an interesting experiment to view. Supposedly, the beams will reach 3 or 4 miles into the sky. I wonder how far they will be able to be seen? Of course this all depends on weather. It could be a cloudy stretch and no one will be able to see anything. It could also be clear with good visibility. I don't know if the beams will be the same strength as NYC but I guess those could be seen from around 60 miles away. So adding the extra mile of elevation I assume these beams will be seen at least that far away. The one interesting caveat is that years ago on one of the overnight Eco tours they had I was able to spend a nighton the summit. A coastal storm was forming way down the coast and New England had a high cirrus layer. I could make out the glow on the underside of the cirrus from Boston to the south to Montreal to the northwest. So my assumption is that the best condition would be a very high overcast at 20 or 30,000 feet. Then perhaps the glow could be seen throughout much of New England?

Yeah you live in the tropics

Is there not a Winter outlook on the forum?

Well said. I'm sure some up North will be lighting kindling soon.. but down this way the muggy meter is still rocking. I think many will be taken off guard when dews return..

Fastest summer of my life. I’m sure it doesn’t get any better.

Can confirm. It was brisk up in Bretton Woods this morning. The season's do be a'changin'. Swamp maples starting to change up there. Slightest hint of color on the hills. Some poor moose got taken down just beyond Alex's driveway. Massive female on the side of the road up there - amazing that there wasn't any other signs of damage from a vehicle. Celebrated our anniversary with a full moon dinner atop Bretton Woods but the clouds had other plans Maybe next time... Absolutely love this time of year!

Something tells me the EC is going be affected by Hurricane Dolly in some capacity. Just a gut feeling

Well I mean we aren’t going to rip 85-95 into and thru Septorcher, but it sure seems and looks overall like an endless summer type deal with 75-85 many days. Last year people were getting into cold and frosts already. Nothing like that thru mid month

That was a slow, long summer. Time to move on and quickly rip through fall/winter. Already almost Christmas!

Total here was 1.6", nice storm, BBasile got nailed pretty good. It was moving but kept reforming south and east of here, made it look almost stationary for a bit.

Always makes me sad this time of year. You look forward to this time of year so much come April and May and it just freaking flies by

Perfect weather day. 74/51F. Great vis. Drought situation. Assuming we don't get a shower tomorrow night the grand August total is 1.66". For July it was 1.64". Amazingly dry. Thankfully we did get .80" on August 23rd. In my general area I know Brian has been extremely dry too. He got a nice thunderstorm a little while back that I missed. Brian, what is your total for July and August?

Not saying cold and BN, but those summer temps and dews are losing persistence. Doesn’t mean we can’t torch for a day or two here and there. This week had a chance, but WF and ridge runners will ruin it. Labor Day weekend looks cool and then we are well into September.

I'm not sure how many people here have read Genesis from the bible, but there's actually some scripture about fall. Genesis 1:3 And the Lord said, let there be Fall ,and on the first day he realized that it really sucked.. So on the second day he said, let there be football, and the Lord saw that it was good. I hate fall with a passion. I consider it the season of death , depression, shortening days and nasty a** pumpkin flavored food and drinks. If it's not going be blistering hot with high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms, then it needs to be in the single digits with snow on the ground and the next storm already in focus.

Yeah we’re AN this August and yet the back was broken in July?

It never ends. 3 month arid pattern followed by a couple wet weeks that benefits some and fails the usual places, followed by another region-wide drought pattern. It's been going on for years.

I don’t see any chilly BN autumn pattern modeled. Pac typhoons moving west never translates cool in east.Looks normal at worst to slightly above. Nothing like last September

“Not happening but omg here it is”

But yeah after this week back broken. Then it’s 8 months of Autumn.
