Probably the best weekend of the summer.

 

77F/60F high/low split for Saturday and 81F/53F high/low split for today. Just ideal. Dews in the 50s, and with the crickets chirping their heads off, it looks, feels, and sounds like early autumn.

 

 

actually it feels like late summer, we go through this most seasons, its cooling down and it has that certain smell but people have short memories. Its not always blazing hot and humid all the time in summer.

Just a stunning two days.  Warming trend tomorrow with outside shot at 90 on tue in the warmer spots if its clear enough.   Guidance still consistent in brining the broiler from the Mid West east labor day weekend and into the week of the 2nd.

The period 8/26 - 9/6 should average above normal overall with the potential for some strong postive departues 8/30 - 9/4.   We'll see how guidance trends for the period and watch how hot its gets in the nations midsection this week..

Eh, I could see my breath this morning at 52.8F. That's definitely more September like than late August.

 

The high temps have been close to normal but the radiational cooling the past couple nights has made for some chilly mornings.

My station is at -2.7 so far for August. Those departures are impressive for a summer month.

Actually in July-August it's easier to get huge downward departures and in January-February huge upward departures.  Climo puts ceilings on possible temperatures. Getting below -4 in KNYC is very hard. Getting above 100 is very hard. There are records above and below both ways but getting near them is rare.

I think the point might have been that it is easier to get a large departure from normal in winter than in summer because summer temps are less variable and subject to extremes.

in February the extremes are 90 degrees apart...-15 to 75...July's extremes are 106 to 52...54 degrees apart..February max can be 75 or 2 above...a 73 degree spread...July's max could be 106 or 59...a 47 degree spread...

Even during the winter, it's hard to vary much more than about 25 degrees on the downward side from night minimum normal temperatures, at least in KNYC.  It's hard to vary more than about 20 degrees from normal highs.  You're obviously right to a point though.

My main point is that transition seasons can have far more variability to normal.
