When it's this dry the air heats and cools quickly. Speaking of dry - It's getting desperate in the forests around here. Crunchy and dusty Surprisingly most of the reservoirs are bank full though. Expand It depends on what I'm doing, if I'm just sitting outside then sure. If I'm moving or doing yard work I still don't have a need for sweats. As for the dryness, I mentioned yesterday in the NW thread that I am hard pressed to find a drier 4 week period than the current one in the records for IMBY.

From 9/6/17 to today, 10/4/17, we've had about .25 here for that 30 day stretch coupled with the hot/dry/low humidity air, it's looking pretty bad around here. No relief in sight...

Drz1111 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I imagine that we're in line for a robust fall brush fire season. Lots of rain earlier in the summer, then a very dry late summer / early fall. Once we get some days with brisk NW winds, we could end up with a frisk day in the Meadowlands or out on the Island.

CIK62 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Next 8 days averaging an astounding 72degs., or +10 to +11 degrees. This is normal for the first days of September. By mid-Oct., when a return to normal or less should occur, the 850mb. temperature should be somewhat below its norm of +7C for that period.

mattinpa Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I still say mid 80s. If we don’t get a 90 degree reading this week, I think we are done until the spring/summer. Cooler readings coming and even lower averages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drz1111 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think you need to read b/w the lines a little bit on the Euro. Regardless what it shows verbatim that's going to be a lot of rain for pretty much the entire NE US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 We're in a good spot to receive the remnants of Nate late Sunday into early next week as the circulation merges with a frontal boundary moving through the lakes. PWAT's approach 2.50" as abundant tropical moisture surges Northeastward. I like a widespread 2-3" with locally higher amounts, especially over the higher terrain.

Drz1111 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 This is why all the braying about the dry spell is stupid. This year has been an extreme example to be sure, but early fall in the NE is almost always about long periods of dry (or dryish) weather punctuated by brief events with a tropical connection.
