By Tue 9/1 Western Atlantic Ridge is expanding back west as we are warming back . The next 90s look to arrive between 9/2 and 9/5 before brief cool down Labor day.  ECm has 850s >16c starting next Wed (9/2).  The W.A.R looks close by and expanding west again towards 9/9 with sustained ridging into the east which should bring continued warmth / above temps with additional 90s potential especially in the warmer spots..  Tropics look more of a threat to SE coast in that period.

By the start of the month the Western Atlantic Ridge is expanding west in the more classic Bermuda high position and Tue (9/1) we are warming up.  Wed (9/2) - Fri (9/5) next heatwave and shot at 90s potential before another brief cool down the first half of the labor day weekend.  Beyond there warmer air looks to return by labor day (9/7) and the subsequent week.  Tropics need to be watched in this period 9/9 - 913 EC / FL.  WAR nearby expanding west in spurts , WC ridge pushing into the plains and should set the stage for a very warm period in September.

I hope it is right. Haven’t had many breaks this summer. I am not sure the warm pattern lasts past mid month. And at least then, even warmer days have less 90s potential. 

Ridging looks to hold over the area especially the coast the first week or so with brief cooler intrusions. I think ridging will work east  from the Rockies towards later in the second half of the month throghout the EC with more troughs coming into the WC.

Looks like the first week of September will have temps up and down to average about normal. Looks like the second week may  bring in a more consistent cool down making the first have of the month a little below normal. Wouldn't that be a change if it plays out.

It would be amazing to have a September that felt more like September than August for once.

I can see it now, southerners will move north to be in the pleasant Northeast climate.

think of it this way: this is likely to be the coolest september of the next 100 years :)

well a asteroid strike or a super volcanic eruption will cool the earth  by a lot.. no one should be making 100 year predictions..with certainty..

Do you think the worst of the heat is over? I kind of doubt we stay all fall feeling but perhaps we can be more normal.

Even though most New Yorkers would love to see that day, I am confident we will have forms of energy that give off no pollution what so ever, long before the 100 years is up. Even if I am wrong, we won't destroy the earth, we might destroy ourselves, but not the earth. Anyway, all the possibilities with the potential  Laura interaction turned out to be not much.  So far here, .11 inch of rain today.

It really depends on how long the ridge says locked in along the West Coast. This hasn’t been our typical September pattern during the last decade. There has usually been a trough out there with a ridge over New England.

Isn’t that a relative question?  Do you mean the worst of the heat as in upper 90s for highs?  Or worst of the heat as in departures from average?

i remember the September 1970 five day heat wave from the 22nd to the 26th...four of the five days were above 90...the one that wasn't averaged 81...the five straight days averaged over 80...the 94 on the 22nd tied the hottest of the season...it hit 90 or higher on seven days in Sept. 1970...the month ended rather cold... December and January were cold...2005 had a warm Sept then a cold December 2010 too...1973 to a lesser extent...I think September sees a few 90 or better days especially the usual hot spots...
