Beautiful day... 81F at MVL now with comfy dews.  Warmth seems to be going "over-the-top" as it seems to get warmer as you go further north. 

 

Look at Montreal and Quebec City area...mid-80s.

 

Even CAR is up to 86F last hour with a north wind gusting near 20mph.  Not too often you get that warm with a north wind up there I'm sure.

 

NE Maine frequently sees some of its hottest wx on N-to-W winds, with some downsloping off the higher terrain to the west.  Maybe a southerly component brings too much moisture to allow quick warmups, or brings the WAA over the W. Maine mts, or something

Ahhh I'll have to look closer at a topomap. I thought W/SW flow would downslope them (CAR) more than a north wind coming from like FVE.

Why would you want them 7 days ago and not now? What happens between August 20th and September 1st that makes it undesirable all the sudden?

We're talking about Sept.. the long range looks very very warm. September is supposed to be the start of the cooler season..when grandmother's start knitting reindeer sweaters to be ready by Christmas for their grandsons who are ski instructors, when people start putting A/C units away/ when pools are closed, when cider starts to be drank, football and soccer starts, summer bugs are gone.

 

An endless summer pattern which looks to be setting up means folks will be buying A/c and installing them, pools will be open and used well into oct, the accelerated leaf change ongoing now ceases, grandmothers put aside reindeer sweaters and start drinking whiskey sours on the front porch, instead of cider folks are ripping back iced coffees, a whole new crop of bugs are born, there are no frosts, grass greens up again, ocean temps are abnormally high, schools close due to excessive heat in rooms...

 

We talked about paying the piper..Well guess what..Peter  is here.

September is the March of Summer. In March you don't really expect it to still snow but it can still happen. Nothing quite like the first day you break 70. Girls suddenly exchange sweatshirts, jeans and Uggs for tank tops, shorts and flip flops. By the end of the month most people are now in full Spring mode while weenies grasp with both hands onto 300hr GFS runs which show one last shot at snow.

 

The same can be said about the month of September. The month usually begins with warm temperatures and plesant weather. The kids go back to school, football starts. The baseball playoffs are right around the corner along with the start of the NHL and NBA seasons. By the end of the month snow weenies are already tracking the first shot at snow. The tank tops, shorts and flip flops have been put away and replaced with sweatshirts, jackets and boots. The morning air is already crisp and the first frost is not that far away. Northern New England is at peak foliage and the highest terrrain is already mostly bare. Nature is slowly dying off and the days are becoming shorter. By the end of September after work activites are becoming nearly impossible thanks to the cooler temps and waining sunlight.

 

At least we still have the peak of hurricane season to look forward to. Then before you know it the holiday's will be upon us and the first shot at real snow. We take comfort in that by the end of December the process will have already started reversing itself and we ride out the 12 or so weeks that make up the heart of the snow season. Before long we will have come full circle.

September and October were two of my favorite months when I lived in Vermont, and still are to a certain extent..

 

The fall is usually dry (outside of tropical impacts) and relatively warm/comfortable. Beautiful foliage, crisp mornings, harvest season at the markets...perfect time of year. 

 

Not too worried about a few days of heat. We were overdue.

You're a quack sometimes. Early fall is not late fall, try to relax.
