I’m hoping that’s a precursor for winter 

We probably have to wait until October for the first clues. Last October we saw the dramatic SOI reversal and more Niña-like SST state west of the dateline. We’ll get to see if the current more Niño looking pattern can hold through this October. SOI currently continues negative with a developing WWB west of the dateline and most positive IOD since 2015.

Some mets are signalling that around 9/22 another Hurricane Sandy may strike.      Deep trough in mid-west at that time may pull any storm available toward the EC.      It was the anomalous trough in 2012 that sucked Sandy toward us and then made it cold enough to snow in the N'oreaster a week later.

there was also a strong -NAO and blocking high to our northeast for Sandy....

A lot of forecasters are worried about a tropical system hitting the east coast next weekend with the pattern in place.  Way too far off to speculate. 

Ugh. I'm out of town next weekend with a flight back to LGA Sunday afternoon. Last thing I need is to be trapped in Pittsburgh in the midst of my lateral interviewing. <_<

Right now, the ensembles are not suggesting the kind of severe AO/NAO block that was in place prior to and up to Sandy's dramatic left-turn. That doesn't mean that a tropical cyclone can't threaten part of the East Coast, only that the probability of a Sandy-type scenario is probably a low one given the present guidance.

Any meteorologist who is calling for a Sandy like scenario at this juncture is pretty irresponsible. But with the pattern expected to be in place there is an increased risk for a tropical system to effect the east coast as others have already stated.

Another sandy is not happening thankfully, we may get a storm that’s close but right now no model shows a storm even close to us!

Much warmer weather will push into the Middle Atlantic and southern New England areas by mid-week. Overall, readings will then remain above to much above normal afterward for an extended period of time.

Earlier today, the temperature reached a near record 99° in Atlanta. That was the hottest September reading there since September 8, 1941 when the temperature also reached 99°. Today was also Atlanta's 72nd day on which the temperature reached 90° or above. That is tied with 1943 for Atlanta's 11th highest annual figure on record. Records go back to 1879.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.6°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.2°C for the week centered around September 4. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.52°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.10°C. Neutral-warm ENSO conditions are in place in Region 3.4 with neutral-cool conditions in place in Region 1+2. There remains uncertainty about the ENSO evolution later this fall. The outcome could have significant winter season implications. The CFSv2 has recently shifted toward a warm-neutral/borderline weak El Niño signal for the winter.

The SOI was -21.51 today.

Today, the preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +0.174.

Since 1950, there have been five prior cases when the AO averaged -0.500 or below in both July and August: 1950, 1958, 1960, 1968, and 2015. The average temperature for September was 69.1° (69.8° after adjusting for ongoing warming) and 58.9° (59.6° adjusted) for September through November in New York City. The 1981-2010 baseline normal figures are 68.0° and 57.5° respectively. The majority of cases saw a warmer than normal September and all cases featured a warmer than normal fall.

Therefore, a warmer than normal September and fall appear likely. The potential for autumn 2019 to rank among the 30 warmest cases on record remains on the table.

The latest EPS weeklies are hinting that an extended period of above to much above normal readings could prevail after mid-September. It remains plausible that September 2019 could have a mean temperature of 70.0° or above in New York City.

On September 8, the MJO was in Phase 5 at an amplitude of 1.495 (RMM). The September 7-adjusted amplitude was 1.101.

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, the implied probability of New York City having a warmer than normal September is approximately 66%.

Still on track for a brief warm up next few days as the warm spots may approach 90. But followed by another cool down with the next big Canadian high. What a difference a year makes as Newark reached 98 last September. That was the 4th highest September maximum temperature at Newark.
