64 / 44 off a low of 43.   Cool behind and warmup on the way.  Ridging north and into the east - overall warm to very warm.  Over north ridge proves an onshore component keeping heat west with mid 80s but some of the warmer spots could push 90 as we near the end of the week and next.  The pattern is blocked up and needs a laxative with big ridge into the north and Francines remnants meandering arounf the south and central US and potential cut off ULL int he southeast.  Dry as the ridge holds east but need to watch going from dry to a Debby like stalled remnant or cut off low.  Interesting next 1 - 2 weeks but solidly warm, overall.

Historical:

1900 - The greatest weather disaster in U.S. records occurred when a hurricane struck Galveston TX. A tide fifteen feet high washed over the island demolishing or carrying away buildings, and drowning more than 6000 persons. The hurricane destroyed more than 3600 houses, and total damage was more than thirty million dollars. Winds to 120 mph, and a twenty foot storm surge accompanied the hurricane. Following the storm, the surf was three hundred feet inland from the former water line. The hurricane claimed another 1200 lives outside of the Galveston area. (8th-9th) (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)

1900: A Category 4 storm made landfall in Galveston, Texas on this day in 1900. This hurricane killed between 6,000 and 12,000 individuals, making it the deadliest US Atlantic hurricane on record. The highest point in the city of Galveston was less than nine feet above sea level. The hurricane brought a storm surge of over 15 feet, which overwhelmed the entire island.

1925: In September 1925, South Carolina was in the middle of one of the most widespread and disastrous droughts in the state's history. The NWS Co-op station in Calhoun Falls reported 11 days above 100°F with a maximum temperature of 111°F on this day.

1987 - A tropical depression off the coast of South Carolina brought another round of heavy rain to the Middle Atlantic Coast Region and the Upper Ohio Valley. Showers and thunderstorms produced extremely heavy rain in eastern Pennsylvania, where flooding caused more than 55 million dollars across a seven county area. The afternoon high of 97 degrees at Miami FL was a record for the month of September. (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Eighteen cities in the south central and eastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date, including Roanoke VA with a reading of 42 degrees. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front produced very heavy rain in the central U.S. Thunderstorms during the late morning and afternoon produced five to nine inches of rain around Lincoln NE, with an unofficial total of eleven inches near Holmes Park. Up to six and a half inches of rain soaked northern and western Iowa. Eighty to ninety percent of the homes in Shenandoah IA, where 5.89 inches of rain was received, reported basement flooding.

2012: Severe storms impacted the New York City area, forcing a delay of the United States Open. A tornado hit a beach club in Queens, and another brought damage to Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York. 

Dry here the next 5-7 days with the focus of the rains in the W/C GOM and SE, well see if thats steered and directed north in a week.

55 /48 off a cool low of 49.  Low 70s today and another cool night.  Coolest for a while.  Warmup beings Monday  ridge builds east and north -  upper 70s to 80.  Tue - Sat mid 80s perhaps an upper 80s in the warm spots as the onshore flow keeps heat west of us.    Cut off low and potential tropics by the 15th could bring some rains/clouds cooler.   Otherwise overall warmer into the final third of august.

9/8 : Cool
9/9 - 9/14 : Warmer than normal / dry

It’s pretty amazing how quiet the weather has been overall especially the tropics. Starting to wonder when and if the “floodgates” will open on a much more active pattern. Until then it looks like at least another 10-14 days of relatively quiet weather (tropics dependent). We’ll see.

Have to watch cut off ULL along the east coast like the euro showed as next opportunity for rains in the 9/14 period.  If it wasnt for the August wet period / deluge from some in the fist half,  we'd be extremely dry

Trough west ridge east with the Eur ridge axis more north and allows a weakeness to cut off 14 - 17 period which could bring some consistent rains and potential tropical influence in that period.  GFS warmer throughout.

68/ 65 clouds and some light rain and scattered showers.  Trough and susbequent front moving through today.  Dries out and cools off Sunday with low 70s.  Warming next week by Tue mainly low - mid 80s, perhaps upper 80s in the warmer spots Wed/Thu.   Overall warmer into and beyond mid month.  Ridge builds north and onshore component will limit heat (90s).  Euro has a cut off low undercutting the ridge by the start of the following week 15th with stalled out low along the SE and MA coasts.  GFS much warmer.   

9/7 : Humid/ showers
9/8 - 9/9 : Cooler below normal
9/10 - 9/14 : Warmer to much warmer than normal
Beyond : overall warmer - wetter

Area crops (including corn and tobacco) were beaten into the ground.

1988 - Unseasonably cool weather prevailed across the north central and northeastern U.S. Thirty cities reported record low temperatures for the date, including Saint Joseph MO with a reading of 38 degrees. A low of 44 degrees at Indianapolis IN was their coolest reading of record for so early in the season. The mercury dipped to 31 degrees at Hibbing MN and Philips WI. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - An early afternoon thunderstorm produced wind gusts to 104 mph at Winterhaven, FL, flipping over four airplanes, and damaging five others. 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. 

Clouds clinging to the area.  Had a feeling the recent mostly sunny then the becoming sunny forecasts were in trouble today

64 / 59 cloudy with some marine layer.  More humid.   Sun should break through later this morning.  Warmer today upper 70s to low 80s.  Clouds back tomorrow as trough pishes front through with showers and rain - the heaviest (not much) will be in northern areas.   Sunday much cooler behind the front before a pronounces warmup  9/8 through next week.  Ridge builds north so there continues to be an onshore influence and while it;; be much warmer and above normal the heat is west and north and limited coming east.   Watch for cut of low under the ridge along the coast next weekend and into the week of 9/13.  Overall warmer/humid and looking wetter towards the final third of the month.

All petering out so far

Warmer but onshore frequency keeps heat at bay or for a 1-2 day spurts

Much of this is Fri night - Saturday (this 9/7)
