yeah, i think so. looks like an evening/overnight event for the most part. instability is lower than today but shear is fcst to be considerably stronger. 

the shear and lapse rates come in a bit too late for a really good event, no?  3 hrs earler and it would be something.

Today will be our last 90 degree day potential for a while before the pattern changes. Looks like the record -NAO/-AO limited the number of 90 degree days this year. So we will finish with fewer 90 degree days than several other warm seasons this decade.

Meanwhile, nearly 5" here since Saturday. That can only mean congrats south of 84 this winter. 

Yeah I was up and around Dutchess County on Tuesday and the difference in how lush things are is amazing if you know what to look for. Most people probably wouldn't notice the minor details that tell the story. In the hills east of Rhinebeck (where you are?) even the neglected old closed up farms looked like they could spin right back up whereas here they just look ratty and browned out.

Now the wildcard is, as it has been in the last several years especially, how much warmth will September feature?  Curious to see how many 90's we can get.

with the NW Atlantic SST well above normal, hard to see how September doesn't feature at least some heat and humidity and perhaps alot of it....

I think a few close TS will take a big bite out of those SSTs. 

1st week of September could be near or slightly BN and 90s are tough to hit after September 10.

Yeah, that's a good observation. I'm a little south of there (just down the street from the deadly plane crash last week, if you read about it), but it's the same story throughout northern Dutchess. Makes me very curious about local variations in foliage color this fall between wet areas and those that have gotten skunked.

500/700mb winds increase pretty quickly 21-22Z on the latest RAP. Mid-level lapse rates were excellent on the 12Z IAD sounding but poor around here. That area is forecast to shift this way during the afternoon. Dry air is the main inhibitor to better instability this afternoon. First area to watch will be northeast PA along the front - most guidance kills those off as they move off the mountains to the SE towards us...maybe a slight chance here as early as 5-6PM. Energy back in Ohio now will arrive this evening, so the higher storm chances in the city are probably like 8-11PM.

Definitely a better summer than last year, but I'm still left wondering when we'll get a non-historically humid summer.

Agree on both-doubt there's many 90's in the month but I could see a stretch of 80-85's with high dews....

The SST departures along the West Coast are even more impressive.

https://mobile.twitter.com/Weather_West/status/1164268312806789121

The highly anomalous warm ocean temperatures across the North Pacific ("Return of #TheBlob"?) are making their presence known along the far NorCal coast...

The high temperature at the office here on Woodley Island has climbed to 78 degrees as of 1 PM today. This will shatter the previous daily record for Eureka of 73 degrees set in 1971. #CAwx

 

Return of the -EPO this winter?

Probably 0 to 3 more 90 degrees in September if the 2010’s pattern holds. That is the number of 90 degree days in September following 5 or less in August. The 4 or more Septembers generally followed double digit 90 degree day Augusts. September 90 degree days are in the missing count column.

3 of the last 4 years featured a ton of 90 degree days...many of them 95 ir above. We can easily get 90s...youve been downplaying heat for awhile now as i now am in the midst of my 2nd longest heatwave of the season

Our big jump in summer dewpoints  coincided with the global moisture surge following the 15-16 super El Niño. 2017 was our coolest summer of the last 4 years. But the dewpoints were still very high. So it’s anyone’s guess when we’ll see a less humid summer again.

Stats show that years without double digits 90s in August generally get between 0-3 90 days in September, most in the 1st half. 

If anything it seems like July was downplayed and August was overestimated.

The Pacific basin SST anomaly configuration has shifted from this time last year. Will this continue through the fall? Is it enough of a shift to weaken or divert  the firehose Pacific Jet? Stay tuned....
