    Down to 51 now to 59 / 47. Looks like 3 more days of this (through Thursday) cooler than normal and drier / mainly sunny with mid 70s to near 80. A bit warmer on Friday back to the 80s for most ahead of the next trough pushing through rain unfortunately over this weekend *sat and sun (as it looks now). Beyond there more of the same with ridge west and north and trough underneath - onshore flows and temps near or cooler than normal and looking drier Sep 9 - 13. Watch the GOM for any tropical systems and along or right in the EC. Warmer migration towards and or post mid month.

    Mostly sunny forecasts should materialize in the afternoon otherwise anything but with mostly cloudy 70 / 55. Near 80 / low 80s today. Dry and great stretch of weather a bit below normal upper 70s / low 80s with much onshore E/ENE flow. Next trough comes in for the coming weekend and it looks like a cloudy perhaps rain each day but many days to track that. Looks overall warmer once towards mid month, before that heat is capped west under strong ridge there and troughing into the MW/Northeast.

Cooler Sep 2 - Sep 8 but very nice / dry stretch and seemingly sunny each day. Watch the tropics in the GOM/FL next week and perhaps a threat up the coast later next weekend in the 9/11 - 9/13 period.
