79 / 73 quite humid and becoming partly cloudy.   Mid / upper 80s today. Much drier Sun (8/27) low 80s much less humidity but a gorgeous day.  Mon (8/28) trough swings through some clouds and scattered showers near normal, more widespread showers / storms by Wed / Thu to close the month.  Euro and GFS with low into FL Wed/Thu then out but trough/weakness hangs into the EC to open the month.

 

Beyond there ridging into the EC with above normal and potential heat, we'll see if tropics or onshore flow disrupt the heat.  But overall wam look nationwide.

I disagree with you about widespread showers/storms to close the month wednesday and thursday. The models are showing the showers tuesday into tuesday night, and out of here by early wednesday morning. Looks like a very dry airmass coming in during the day wednesday, and very low humidity on thursday. Looks like a great close to the month to me. 

I do agree with you about a warmer pattern in the long range. Great timing for the holiday weekend. Looks like a spectacular holiday weekend with temps warming back up to the 80s.

Temperatures rose into the middle and even upper 80s across the rgion on what will likely be the warmest day for the remainder of August. Philadelphia topped out at 90°.

Meanwhile, along the Gulf Coast, a historic heat dome delivered numerous all-time record highs including:

Gulfport, MS: 107° (new all-time record)
Mobile: 106° (new all-time record)
New Orleans: 102° (tied all-time record)
Pascagoula, MS: 106° (new all-time record)

Pensacola topped out at 105°, which fell 1° short of its all-time record. Baton Rouge, Houston, New Orleans, and Tampa, among other cities, remain on track for their hottest month on record.

A prolonged stretch of generally cooler than normal readings is underway and will continue through at least the end of the month.

In the long-range, it remains more likely than not that ridges will wax and wane over the central and southern U.S., producing more heat in areas that have seen a lot of it this summer. If that idea holds, the Northeast will likely only see some short-lived periods of warmer or much warmer than normal temperatures through at least the first week or two of September.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.3°C for the week centered around August 16. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +3.15°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.17°C. El Niño conditions have developed and will likely continue to strengthen through at least the summer. The probability of an East-based El Niño event has increased.

The SOI was -9.77 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.167 today.

On August 24 the MJO was in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 1.401 (RMM). The August 23-adjusted amplitude was 1.668 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 97% probability that New York City will have a cooler than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 74.5° (1.6° below normal).
