I thought Stein was getting ready to stay last night. He tried to sneak in the sheets, but left abruptly at 6am.

Came across this time-lapse of the current valley fog/stratus fractus in Pemi Valley, NH (near Plymouth). Notice the chaotic motion of the fog/clouds; it's pretty cool.

Still is AN into October. That’s a warm look

I haven’t looked at October, but next week will be the last of summer like conditions. That’s different than saying AN.

Late September is looking more troughy than a few days ago.

Models shifting around a lot in mid-long ranges...guessing seasonal transition playing a role in the uncertainty.

[Baroclinic Zone]

+1.0F MTD now.

Nothing says welcome to SNE than a  close CG lighting  to wake you up at 4 in the morning; thought I was home in FL!

while it looks to torch relative to norms, still looks nice.. upper 70's with mid 50's at nights.. ?? am i missing something>?

Mid 70s for highs and low 50s for lows are the norms mid-Sept here.  So those numbers would yield +3-4F.  Solidly above normal.

yeah for sure, I guess AN vs. Summer weather are 2 different things for me, summer weather is 80+ and 60+ evenings, but everyone might have their own definition.

I had a dream last night there was some crazy system working through the deep south and parts of AL and FL were going to get snow...in September

Hopefully @moneypitmike isn’t mad at me.

Euro ensembles look pretty chilly late month all of the sudden....we'll see if that holds up.

So endless summer may end?

[Supernovice]

Gas man came yesterday, so of course it'll be:

pool temp: 85

air temp: 55

Shoulda closed her.

Well like I have said a million times my summer usually really ends 3 week of September, so possibly right on time.

Quite a bit of uncertainty towards the end of the month and the first week of October. Not that this would be totally unusual for this period but I envision sort of a rollercoaster type pattern where we alternate well above-average with near or slightly below-average temperatures (although what will happen is we are either going to be well above-average or somewhat below-average...don't think there is a middle ground). You can see the huge spread quite well just by looking at NAO forecasts alone. There are some hints though we could get some pseudo-blocking. Hell...even uncertainties with what happen across the West...huge spread in the PNA signal too.

Weeklies have showed a torch into October, but we'll see if they show a more muted for late month when they update today because the EPS didn't start showing the trough until a day or two ago, and weeklies last updated on Monday.

My take is we are still in a hemispheric La Nina-ish pattern that favors above avg temps here, but it wouldnt be surprising to sneak a trough in late month...it often happens as the wavelengths are getting wonky and trying to fight the summer gradient. We still have a mean trough over AK and GOA though so I'd think any troughs here would be transient.

We were told back was broken 2 weeks ago, yet here we stand mid-month and in the same boat.

What boat is that? I have not seen a 90/70's temp since mid month last month, Been 70's here, It broke.

I agree...I think any sort of troughs we see here would be more transient than sustaining. 

I think though we could be primed for a pattern change moving towards mid-October and that might feature a sustained period of below-average temperatures with active weather. Lots of noise in the medium-to-long range which seems indicative that we are seeing the hemisphere transition from summer to fall (and eventual winter). Noticing though we really may start to see changes with the jet configuration across the western Pacific...lots of wave breaking being modeled and momentum deposit into the high latitudes. Another thing to watch too are the signals for these tropical waves of the Southeast U.S. coast when become pretty strong and get shot north.

Not understanding broke back^^ Just take a look at the vegetation, birds, length of day. BDL -.2  this month. We had 7 BN days to start the first 10 days. Anyone who thinks back broken means a quick switch to fall just doesn't get it.

Above normal temps and dews.

Sounds like goal post moving to me, It was HHH before.

No way.  We’ve had a definite step down from days and days of mid/upper 80s and 70 dews.

Definitely not in the same place as 2-3 weeks ago.  Not to say one day doesn’t get there but it’s a big difference from August.
