September weather discussion

Recommended Posts

Was hot, but kinda meh at the abode...max 88.4F. I'm not sure why we end up a relative cool spot around here on these hot days.

Days like this can be quirky. ORH barely hit 90 today, nevermind anything challenging monthly records. Still very impressive airmass today, but the wind wasn't good for some areas to really bake like it did in BOS...though I would have thought you might heat up like NE MA/SE NH on a SW wind off Monads...but perhaps there is something else that went on like clouds or local wind shift.

soil moisture? Seems the hottest temps today matched well with Forkys precip map from yesterday

Ginxys a. Frigidaire through and through. Today was the hottest mid September day around here in decades I think. Ironically the 9/11 record of 99 set 30 years ago seems untouchable. 11pm and 81 near the autumnal equinox. For this area, the heat was serious and mid summer like. We may have missed 100 in July but 97 on 9/11 is smokin hot.

Ensembles have what appears to be a raging positive EPO next week mid week and beyond. Wile I'm sure were done with this level of heat I think ac will be needed. I'm heading to DC Wednesday through Friday...could be pretty warm there.

I am 10 degrees cooler at the same time, capeche?

Just ignore Kevin when he embellishes.

Embellish what?

 

I challenge you to find another mid September day in history that had regionwide 90's, dews in the 75-79 range (EVEN AT THE TARMACS) and heat indexes over 100 . It absolutely was unprecedented. You find another day like that in Sept and post it for us. Thanks

what's this supposed to mean? I reported my temps, pretty uniform around here 90 for an hour then dropped to 82 in two hours.

 

Right it was in the 80s on the s coast. No big deal, but for most if was an oppressive day. Mid to U 90s with TDs in the low 70s is rare post 9/10. I didn't say unprecedented.

Since I have the daily BDL data, I took a look at some of the hottest September days.  The odd thing that I noticed was the number of years ending in 3 that were hot.  I guess we continued that trend yesterday.  9/11 also shows up a lot too for some reason.  Go figure.

 

Any way, the highest heat index that I could find for yesterday was 103°.  Here's how that compares with some other hot September days:

 

9/2/1953 Max heat index of 110°

9/3/1973 107°

9/4/1973 107°

9/1/1961 105°

9/8/2007 105°

9/11/1983 103°

9/11/2013 103°

9/22/2013 102° (for reference)

 

Here's some dates with dp's mid-upper 70s and highs in the 90s:

 

9/3/1993 - 79°

9/6/2008 - 76°

9/3/1973, 9/6/1973, 9/16/1991, 9/6/1999, 9/9/2004 - 75°

9/5/1961, 9/1 & 2/1973, 9/4/1973 - 74°

9/22/1970, 9/10/1989, 9/8/2007 (and several others) - 73°

 

The latest I saw a high in the mid-90s with a dp's in the mid-70s is 9/22/1970.

BTW Ginx, I figured the Westerly RI dig was an obvious joke.  

Hey NBD just wondering what you meant. I was totally impressed by the heat in your neck of the woods, the core hit the Berks to SNH and you guys, good stuff., NE hills of CT to ORH to the south coast of Cape Cod it was a hot muggy day, not as rare as it was for you guys but still brutally unusual and ugly. Looking forward to the quick relief pattern that has set up. Month could be close to normal but maybe a hair below.

Those in proximity to coastal ct were blessed with a cbreeze from the wind vector. And Boston and ne coastal ma roasted. But make no mistake about it, it was legit heat from Kevin to MPM, to HubbDave, Will, to us coasties. Steve experienced a warm summer day but nothing special thanks to being close enough to a coastal ct breeze.

I feel pretty confident we are AN for most, highest conf for KBOS. 

 

Going forward we aren't necessarily in a torch pattern at all, but the pattern will be different. If you recall me talking about the pattern of these troughs sort of sneaking up on us, we had a pattern conducive for it. We had ridging way out west so despite a +NAO, these troughs were able to dig south. Now we will have troughing in the ern Gulf of AK which means more zonal flow (mabe split too) and an overall warmer CONUS pattern. I do see HP overhead and fronts to the south during this time so we may see some days that have perhaps onshore flow and maybe rain? Bottom line, doesn't look torchy for a period of time, but could be mild overall.

Lets see how the NPAC ssta do over the next few weeks.

These won't be big cool shots, but it will brings temps to seasonable to somewhat below. I'm hoping this front can bring some rain as a low develops along it. NAM looks overdone, but there are signs of this.
