Not looking forward to the winter months.  September, October, November and December are actually proven to be the worst months for fatal car accidents in NY and I'm willing to gamble it's weather related since no one seems to know how to drive in rain or snow... Would rather see the thermometer stay at it's current 68°F outside temps.

Some major changes out west, particularly the EPO should eventually give us cooler weather however it'll dump the cold west first so we'll have to wait until November for it to arrive.

Similar pattern to what we have been experiencing all year. Coldest departures stay out West.Then the cold modifies as it moves east.

September generally has nice weather. I bet many of those are pedestrian since all I hear about are hit and runs in the outer boros

I remember reading about why this pattern is so stable.  It has to do with oceans warming faster therefore the land areas near the oceans are more likely to be warmer than normal.  High mountainous areas like the Rockies are more likely to be colder than normal.

Thanks, just what I was looking for to account for the rapid increase in 3"+ rainfall events, all the flooding in the middle of the country that seems to be happening yearly, as well as the wildfire epidemic in the West and the decrease of extreme Arctic outbreaks directly into the East.

The cold is definitely out there vs. some other years where the entire country torches.

Some of this cold will come east this winter.

Similar to this time last year, the jet stream is on steroids. 158KT at 250mb at GGW (Glasgow, MT) this morning is an all-time record there (going back to 1948). Riverton, WY came in 1KT shy of their highest observed 250mb wind speed at 12Z.

Meanwhile, tomorrow's jet stream amplification in the Northeast is also likely to set at least monthly records as the Atlantic ridge flexes. GFS below:
