Farmers Almanac calling for a cold/snowy East is akin to Cowboys fans thinking they're perennial Super Bowl contenders.

Unfortunately that is true.

There is always that super low percentage it happens but like you said, there is a very specific and clear pattern to get these up the coasts. There is a reason why they are infrequent and the return rate is in the years. I get looking the extended range SLP or snow maps or whatever is fun but having an understanding of the current pattern in place and how the pattern will evolve will give you tremendous insight as to what you can expect will unfold in the extended range (there are exceptions of course).

Some people forget or don't understand that weather forecasting is way more than just looking at the solution of a model output.

I just don't get it. Why would you want to shed yourself in that light?

hey nothing to complain at there

Could you imagine

Well AVP has a shot at 90 tomorrow but probably end up 88-89

I clicked his profile...and he even lives in and is from NE PA...that makes this even more ridiculous. He must be a Flyers fan

It's like saying 90F because Tolland only got to 88. I hope that is not a serious post by him and if so, I hope someone is biting back in the comments, I mean that is just ridiculous. But given those forecast temps at AVP...yup there will be lots of 90's around.

I love how he uses AVP to make that point. AVP is not a spot that hits 90 particularly often (I don't believe). If AVP is into the lower 90's then the hottest locations within the region are into the mid to upper 90's and EWR is probably 100. AVP is our ORH.

The heat is back back again The heat is back tell that ACATT the heat is back, the heat is back, the heat is back

By the look of the pattern there’s probably a better shot of the Pats going 17-0 than a direct hit. Probably can’t even rule out a track that is into FL or SE coast depending on exactly if/where a center pops

Does it really matter what the population is and who lives where? I mean that has absolutely zero to do with the science behind what drives the weather. Not too mention there are also mesoscale and microscale processes which can heavily influence weather locally, but they don't take precedent on the overall synoptic pattern. If its a hot pattern but cool along the coast because of a sea-breeze...it's still a hot pattern. If it's a cold pattern but temperatures are moderated along the coast it's still a cold pattern.

There is still a bit of work to go before we can even begin to think about the tropics heating up. We'll start seeing storms form more consistently, only because we're headed towards peak climo but there is alot of work to be done if we're going to see a significant uptick. Unless of course every wave that lasts like 7 hours gets named.

Wouldn’t the fact that NNE has lower climo’s also play a role?

I said a few weeks back we got 10-15 90F days left!! And I think we've had 2 or 3 since I said that

I haven't noticed anything on me and haven't really been in any environment prone to ticks. Luckily I have my annual physical Tuesday so if I'm still unwell then I can see the doctor. I'm hoping/assuming I'll be like 90% tomorrow and back 100% Saturday. I usually don't get sick for more than a day or two, even when I got covid the first time...I was horribly sick for like a day and a half. Took Tylenol like noon of the second day I was really sick and by like 4:00 I was like 90% better lol (but I grant this to having both my shots).

I caught something super nasty. Very sore and tickly throat, alternating between hot and chills, a bit of a stuffy nose, exhausted, feel unbalanced. Thought maybe covid but negative. I don’t get sick much (3rd time in 5 years) but wow…when I do it nails me.

Just think...one of these years we're going to get a super strong EL Nino where we are ripping 70's in DJF...for multiple days. EWR probably hitting a 90 too.

see what happens when dews are low?

We only planned on using it for the summer. It was in phenomenal shape, it was only used once. The person who purchased it before last summer passed away and whoever was going through the stuff listed it on Facebook marketplace and for free. Came with 2 pumps and 2 sets of hoses, filters, pH strips, everything. Pretty good fine for one summer!

I'm hoping the pool water will warm back up. Eventually when we buy a house the one thing we both want is an inground pool. My niece found someone giving away one of those Intex East set pools (for free!!!) where you just fill it up with water and it expands then you put air into the rim. It's not very big (only like 4' deep) and I've been disappointed at how cool the water was much of the summer. I wonder if you can get heaters for those type of pools.

Looks like great outside weather to me!

Maybe we can build this into early September and get another Labor Day '98 Derecho...but farther south. That one went across NNE right? That wasn't the one where there was the derecho NNE and then through NYC? my memory is fading in my elevated age
