62 / 50 off a low of 50. Last mainly clear and dry day for a bit. Pattern is kind of stuck up into the east the Atlantic ridge is anchored east of Bermuda acting to slow any front and forcing cut off / ULL under the ridge. Whats it mean - a likely very wet period the next week to 10 days before overall warmer period sets into early October. Wouldnt shock me to see 5 - 10 inches of rain 9/23 - 10/1 in spots. Check those gutters, drains, sump pumps and streets. Here's the initiation of the ST system off the old frontal boundary east of Georgia

63/55 and bright sunshine. Sunset is 6:59 for most the area for those who like the waning daylight. Noe stretch of weather the next 96 hours , mid / upper 70s and onshore flow keeping mins up a bit especially once to Thu/ Fri (9/22). 9/23 - 9/26 southerly flow and deep moisture feed keeps it humid, warm and potentially very wet. Atlantic ridge acts as a block to keep the east in flow and any low that develops will aid in more rain. Beyond there a bit of a stalled out strung out upper flow with cut off and stagnant flow should keep it overall warm/wet into Oct. Enjoy the sunshine these next days as it may be very cloudy and west the next week starting Saturday.

Up to 78 with some breaks of sun. Do think we are looking at some wetter times come 9/23 - 9/26 period.
-
Some showers and light rain into EPA/DE
-
73 / 57 clouds fast approaching from the west. So another 1 - 2 hours of this splendid weather. Rain by later this evening / tonight, already showers into PA. Rain tomorrow with trough pushing through. By Tue (9/19) heights are rising into the east with flow going around and onshore flow Wed (9/20) - Fri (9/22) . Flow goes southerly by Sat (9/23) wit an overall warm and wet look as the Atlantic ridge slows anything down along the coast. Could be a very wet finish, should the Atlantic ridge be stronger itll push heaviest rains west but current tendencies this year looks like coastal warm/wet tropics potential finish.
