Looks like we open the month with some at or above normal heat and humidity. Latest 12z Euro brings the heat next week.

I think by the time we round out the first 2 weeks, the major climo stations will be +1.5 or above.

Yeah we will be solidly above normal up here. Looking at the forecast, this may be this area's warmest period relative to average of the summer when you combine highs and lows. We were always getting the warm days in June/July but were saved with cool overnight temps in the 43-53F range, but now with humidity we are struggling to get to the 50s with most forecast lows the next 7 days at 60+.

Average at this location is listed as 80/55 today, so if we are doing a 80-85F high and 60-65F low, that's a solid above normal pattern of +3 to +5F each day.

I do think the second half will cool off. Doesn't mean below normal everyday, but relative to 1st half.....it will probably be cooler.

This is not a bold prediction. :weenie:

I usually dislike late August because there is often that first soul-deadening chilly snap. 2009 had a particularly brutal one with a high that didn't get out of the upper 50's.

I meant cooler and not just because of climo..lol. The overall pattern I think features more troughing in the east, but we are over two weeks out.

That was a nice cool night. If you're afraid of early cold don't look at 8/31/65.

Looks like we'll dry out and slightly cool next week, but still rather warm. My guess is that +2 is too high again LL...but no bets this time.

lol

Perhaps in the doom and gloom capital of new england, orh bdl and bdr will have no problem reaching that number.

It will change probably in the Fall at some point, and then maybe a winter month or two.

September might be the warmest month compared to average for the entire year, really liking a possible nw flow regime, and the well above normal ssts, combined with an historic drought to our west and the ridge breaking off and sliding east at times.

I think the opposite. We'll slowly see the drought weaken late August and September (climo), SST's won't have that great an impact even though everyone always says that, and Nino usually means we see a little more troughing in the east. I'm 50/50 in seeing above normal, but I think I'd lean warm.

ssts will have an impact on nighttime temps.....and also on any easterly component wind days. I think I can change my sig to 18 months in a row?? How many in a row, does it ever end?

Luckily ensembles aren't bad, and the op cooled off from 12z.

Ens are really nice. I'm trying to find where the longwave ridge axis moves our way and I can't see it. Looks like alternating shots of warm/hot to cool downs near normal for the next week and then a more sustained stretch of cooler weather for week 2.

Eh, I think people overrate SSTs to be honest. We always hear about that. Everyone said that after summer 2010, and I had one of the best winters ever.
