September 2022

[Stormlover74]

Cool evening down to 71 already

[donsutherland1]

Tomorrow will be fair and unseasonably warm. Clouds will increase on Sunday and temperatures will be several degrees cooler. Afterward, a system could bring an appreciable rainfall to the region early next week. There remains a degree of uncertainty concerning the amount of precipitation.

In the 6 past cases when the June AO averaged +0.750 or above (1950-2021), 67% of the following August and September cases featured above normal temperatures. The August ECMWF forecast shows a warmer than normal September in the Northeast. This warmth would be consistent with the ongoing warming that has been occurring in September.

On August 18, the SOI fell to -32.90. Since 1991, there were 8 cases when the SOI fell to -30 or below during the August 10-25 period. That outcome has often preceded a wetter than normal September in parts of the Northeast. Mean September rainfall figures for those 8 cases: Boston: 4.38" (normal: 3.55"); New York City: 5.08" (normal: 4.31"); and, Philadelphia: 5.12" (normal: 4.40"). Very wet years outnumbered very dry ones by a 2:1 ratio in Boston and 3:1 ratio in both New York City and Philadelphia. 63% of cases saw at least one day with 1" or more rainfall in Boston. 88% saw at least one day with 1" or more in New York City and Philadelphia. 50% of those cases saw at least one day with 2" or more daily rainfall in Philadelphia. In sum, the SOI may be offering a signal that there will be some drought relief for the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions in September. On September 7, Philadelphia picked up 1.22" of rain.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.8°C for the week centered around August 31. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.62°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.95°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through the fall.

The SOI was +18.30 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.394 today.

On September 7 the MJO was in Phase 4 at an amplitude of 0.573 (RMM). The September 6-adjusted amplitude was 0.454 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 67% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal September (1991-2020 normal). September will likely finish with a mean temperature near 70.7° (1.5° above normal).

79/54 split today at home in Nw Suffolk. Currently in Montauk on the beach. Beautiful out 

[bluewave]

Pretty good illustration of why the tropics were so quiet this summer. The Hadley cell stretching created more stability than usual in the tropics. This lead to the monsoon circulations from India to North America being wetter with record rainfall amounts and flooding. The wettest area of the tropics was focused over the -IOD region near Australia. Plus it allowed stronger tropical development in the Atlantic to shift further north. So a much drier summer for our area which lost out on all the tropical systems and heavy rains of recent summers.

Morning thoughts…

It will be partly to mostly sunny and warm.  High temperatures will reach the lower and middle 80s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 84°

Newark: 85°

Philadelphia: 84°

Clouds will begin to increase tomorrow. Showers are possible.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 78.4°; 15-Year: 78.8°

Newark: 30-Year: 79.8°; 15-Year: 80.3°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 81.0°; 15-Year: 81.3°

[bluewave]

It will be interesting to see if we can get our first fall-like cold front of the season later next week. But models have been correcting warmer recently with forecast cool downs. NYC has only dropped dropped to 62° so far which is continuing the later first 50s of fall theme.  White Plains has only fallen to 56° making it one of the later first fall readings under 55°

52 this morning.  Quickly up to near 80 already.

Do we have some kind of moisture shield around the city that prevents copious amounts of rain falling?

Big surf at the beaches here in Montauk from the fish storm. Top 10 day

[SACRUS]

81 / 52 off a low of 52.  Split weekend, dry, mainly sunny and warm today - low/ mid 80s a few isolated upper 80s in the warm spots with a mainly onshore / srly flow.  Ridge tight along the east coast as front crawls later Sun (9/11) - Wed (9/14) with rain chances.  Brunt of the rain north and west as cut off head into the NE.  Front clears through Wed  and Thu (9/15).   

Rockies ridge pushes east and heights rise into the east with a warmer return by next weekend.  Next shot at late season heat, especially for the warmer spots in the 9/17 - 9/21 period.  Oevrall warmer finish to the month.

Freehold-Marlboro set a new record for their most 90° days and lead the entire state of New Jersey. So a continuation of the record hot summers theme since 2010. POU had the most 90° days in NY for the season. But if the Central Park site was properly maintained, then they would have had 30+ days also.

Yes I think there's an outside shot at another 90 degree day sometime in this general time-frame. Of course conditions wind direction etc would have to be almost perfect to get there but there's a chance up to September 27th. I am at the moment focused on Sept 21st and a day 3-5 days later for that 90 degree potential. Only using the word potential here to be perfectly clear that it's not likely but possible.

Considering the dry and relatively warm Summer we’ve had, and our recent history with warm Septembers, I’m definitely expecting another brush with 90, definitely upper-80s. Especially inland. 

[CIK62]

After 48 hours of spotty, but sometimes moderate showers(with rain free breaks too) we get this by 3pm on Tuesday:

[donsutherland1]

The calendar reads "September," but the thermometer reads more like late August with temperatures pushing toward the middle 80s making for a great beach day. However, rip tides are an issue.

[Stormlover74]

Friday morning looks like 50s even in the city

[Allsnow]

Euro pretty wet from Sunday into Tuesday 

[lee59]

Beautiful day at Tobay Beach today. Very comfortable with temps in the 70s to near 80. I will say, this is one long stretch of boring weather. I know it is boring when I was following last weeks rain like it was a snow event.

[SI Mailman]

Probably gonna push well into October for the first day I deliver the mail in long pants (forecast high below 65 degrees)

[donsutherland1]

Under mainly sunny skies, temperatures rose into the lower and middle 80s across much of the region. Highs included:

Allentown: 81°
Bridgeport: 82°
Islip: 85°
New York City: 86°
Newark: 87°
Philadelphia: 83°

Clouds will increase tomorrow and temperatures will be several degrees cooler than they were today. Afterward, a system could bring a light to moderate rainfall to the region early next week. There remains a degree of uncertainty concerning the amount and duration of precipitation.

Out West, Seattle reached 90° for the 13th time this year. That surpassed the record of 12 days, which was set in 2015. All three years with 10 or more such days have occurred since 2015.

In the 6 past cases when the June AO averaged +0.750 or above (1950-2021), 67% of the following August and September cases featured above normal temperatures. The August ECMWF forecast shows a warmer than normal September in the Northeast. This warmth would be consistent with the ongoing warming that has been occurring in September.

On August 18, the SOI fell to -32.90. Since 1991, there were 8 cases when the SOI fell to -30 or below during the August 10-25 period. That outcome has often preceded a wetter than normal September in parts of the Northeast. Mean September rainfall figures for those 8 cases: Boston: 4.38" (normal: 3.55"); New York City: 5.08" (normal: 4.31"); and, Philadelphia: 5.12" (normal: 4.40"). Very wet years outnumbered very dry ones by a 2:1 ratio in Boston and 3:1 ratio in both New York City and Philadelphia. 63% of cases saw at least one day with 1" or more rainfall in Boston. 88% saw at least one day with 1" or more in New York City and Philadelphia. 50% of those cases saw at least one day with 2" or more daily rainfall in Philadelphia. In sum, the SOI may be offering a signal that there will be some drought relief for the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions in September. On September 7, Philadelphia picked up 1.22" of rain.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.8°C for the week centered around August 31. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.62°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.95°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through the fall.

The SOI was +14.14 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.566 today.

On September 8 the MJO was in Phase 5 at an amplitude of 0.718 (RMM). The September 7-adjusted amplitude was 0.578 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 66% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal September (1991-2020 normal). September will likely finish with a mean temperature near 70.7° (1.5° above normal).

I averaged 87-69 at my house in August. So far September is averaging 82-62.
