    59 / 58 and sunny. Record skipping with another mostly sunny dry day - tack on at least 3 more Sat, Sun and Mon. Warm low - mid 80s with saturday the warmest day and if mostly sunny some of the warmer spot to the upper 80s as flow comes around more dform the west. Trough east, Francines decaying remnants in the middle and ridge northeast with cut off near the south east. By Tuesday some showers/rain nearby, we'll see if it gets to cnj and north. GFS wetter than euro where the cut off stalls will be wet. This hung up pattern is one that things stick around a while whether its nice weather or wet weather. Beyond next week, overall warm some semblance a trough moving into the GL - ridge EC, would imply a change to wetter overall too. Clods to MD

    Dry northeast / deluge southeast
  8. SACRUS
    65 / 65 more humid fog in parts. NNE light wind if not calm. Fog burns off and back to near / low 80s for this So-Cal style stretch including the morning grays. Ridge northeast / Francines in the middle and trough west. More of the same the next 5 - 7 days pending on how far north the cut off low on the south east next week , still not sure it doesnt get to us by Tue / Wed, otherwise high pressure ruling the east and producing overall above normal - to much above normal temps and blocking much of any lwo pressure. A persistent onshore-flow keeps the heat at bay and the warmest in this 1-2 week stretch may not get to 90 even in the warm spots but push monthly departures above normal and likely total a 14 days +3 - +5 for the period.

    See how the ULL trends and if the dry pattern ends with days of clouds/shower - rain by the 16th.

    57 / 55 off a low of 52. Clone these days - bright sunshing, warm days low - mid 80s perhaps warmest Fri and Sat (mid-upper 80s) in the warmer spots continuing through Monday. Ridge north/east / trough west - Francine in the middle and cut off undercuts the ridge into the southeast next week and causes more of an onshore flow Tue - Fri. Hung up pattern may turn cloudier/wetter for days mid / late next week. Beyond there overall warmer.

    Trough west / ridge NE the areas underneath hung up and its either long stretch of very nice / warm or wet
  21. SACRUS
    Its been a clear trend for a while any dry pattern will reverse and in most cases a big way. Its a matter of time these hung up patters can go from dry to very wet when things dont move and slow down.

    63 / 48 and clear off a low of 52. On the way back to what should tally 7 days above normal and overall dry with highs mainly low - mid 80s and upper 80s to near 90 the peak with a more SW / NW flow this weekend in the warmer spots. Ridge over the top - stuck up pattern that needs that laxative. Francine meanders over the central states, cut off ULL near the southeast. This could go from very pleasant later summer/ dry to a few days (Debby like) of rains - will need to watch. Overall warm and continued warm once past the cut off low next week/weekend. 9/10 - 9/16 : Warm / dry 9/17 - 9/20 : watch potential remnants of Francine / cut off low form the SE running north into the area beyond : overall warm to very warm
