Move to Naples FL-earliest sunset is 5:40pm

Or just be on the western end of a time zone. We're on the wrong side for evening light

Yeah being out in the dakotas just east of the mountain time zone it was still light at like 930 back in mid July. Of course it was also still dark at 6am

The below normal dewpoints and dry conditions this month are helping the daily lows drive the cool departures for a change. Looks like a slightly cooler pattern will continue for the rest of the month. If we don’t see a reversal of this drier pattern, then there could be more 90° heat on tap in September since it would be easy to warm up with such a dry pattern once the ridge returns. 
 

 

90 degree days are just about done for the year (unless we get something like 10/2/2019). For the second straight year, comfortable conditions and a lack of heat will dominate the US Open in Flushing:

Watch the period Sep 4 - 11th  per the european for next shot at 90s outside the hot spots today, there  is also the chance for a wetter / cut off like the gfs / ensembles show to update this map.

Our sunsets in summer are late enough IMO.  It's winter that sucks the life out of you, when you could see darkness approaching at like 3PM

Ten endless battle of locking the clock at ST or DST continues and from the looks of it, we will inevitably remain on the DST Mar - Nov and ST Nov  - Mar change.

would be wild if some states went to permanent DST and others went to permanent ST

Yeah you know the heat will come back. It's too early for it to stay comfortable for the rest of the season. Euro and GFS both show 90 degree weather coming back around the 4th of September. I think we're done with the extreme 95 to 100 degree heat, but we'll see low 90s again. Before then though this is going to be a spectacular stretch of weather for the next 8 or 9 days. 

[winterwx21]

The dewpoint is all the way down to 49 here now, as we begin the long low humidity stretch. 86 degrees.

The main issue is how dry it has been. Newark is currently in the upper 80s on a dry downslope flow behind the cold front. It will get cooler again over the next week. 

Last year Newark only made it to 87° in September. So it hasn’t had two consecutive Septembers not reaching 90° since 2003 and 2004. 

So when the ridge returns in September, it wouldn’t take much for the warm spots like Newark to reach 90°.

83, low dew, wish this was yesterdays weather instead of mostly clouds.
