Idk if it's on the radar yet since higher end patterns for severe weather in the east are not necessarily common, but holy moly at the 00z Euro for Monday. Sub 1000 mb low pressure over the northeast

September weather in August for a change…

 

 

The dewpoint is 47 here right now. It felt as if I was running outside in late September this afternoon. Invigorating, and it's great that we're gonna have dewpoints in the 40s again tomorrow. Gotta take advantage of this while we have it, so tomorrow I'm going up to Swartswood Park for hiking. After tomorrow we might not see humidity this low again until September.

Fair and pleasant days coupled with low humidity will continue through Thursday. No significant hot weather appears likely through the first week of August. In fact, the latest ECMWF weeklies show no notable heat through at least the first half of August.

As has often occurred in areas witnessing prolonged sieges of heat in recent years, extreme heat will likely rebuild later in the week in the U.S. Southwest. Cities such as Del Rio, El Paso, Phoenix, and Tucson could approach or reach their August high temperature records.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.2°C for the week centered around July 26. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +3.17°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.05°C. El Niño conditions have developed and will likely continue to strengthen through at least the summer. The probability of an East-based El Niño event has increased.

The SOI was -6.37 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.363 today.

On July 30 the MJO was in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 0.686 (RMM). The July 29-adjusted amplitude was 0.445 (RMM).

68 currently; projected low of 52. Delightful for August 1. 
 

I fully expect the triple “H”s back; enjoying this for now. 

Should get into the upper 40s here without too much trouble. Currently 62/54 and tanking. I'd rather have warm nights for another few weeks to keep my gardens rolling.

This might be the best 4 day mid summer stretch that I've ever experienced. Picture perfect weather for outside activities.

Having been here quite a while it's been a long time since I've experienced as pleasant a stretch of weather in early August as this. Maybe 2014 but I was still receiving chemo and radiation so my memory could be a little blurred. In spite of some of the modeling for later this month which has us in nearer to normal temperatures I do think we will see more hot weather this summer.

1983: During the early afternoon hours, a strong microburst swept across Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C.  Although the base anemometer was not calibrated at extreme wind speeds, the peak gust hit 149 mph. It was reported that Air Force One, with President Reagan on board, landed less than 10 minutes before the peak gust.

1985 - A nearly stationary thunderstorm deluged Cheyenne, WY, with rain and hail. Six inches of rain fell in six hours producing the most damaging flash flood of record for the state. Two to five feet of hail covered the ground following the storm, which claimed twelve lives, and caused 65 million dollars property damage. (Storm Data)

1986 - A powerful thunderstorm produced 100 mph winds and large hail in eastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri causing 71 million dollars damage, and injuring nineteen persons. It was one of the worst thunderstorms of record for Kansas. Crops were mowed to the ground in places and roofs blown off buildings along its path, 150 miles long and 30 miles wide, from near Abilene to southeast of Pittsburg. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Record heat gripped parts of the Midwest. A dozen cities reported record high temperatures for the date, including Lincoln, NE, with a reading of 105 degrees, Moline, IL, with an afternoon high of 103 degrees, and Burlington, IA, with a reading of 102 degrees. (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Two dozen cities in the Upper Midwest reported record high temperatures for the date, including La Crosse WI with a reading of 105 degrees. Highs of 103 degrees at Milwaukee, WI, and South Bend, IN, were records for the month of August. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Hurricane Chantal made landfall along the Upper Texas coast about sunrise. Chantal deluged parts of Galveston Island and southeastern Texas with 8 to 12 inches of rain. Unofficial totals ranged up to twenty inches. Winds gusted to 82 mph at Galveston, and reached 76 mph in the Houston area. Tides were 5 to 7 feet high. The hurricane claimed two lives, and caused 100 million dollars damage. (The National Weather

67 / 55 off a low of 56.  Another gorgeous low humidity, sunny day on tap.  A bit warmer than yesterday but mostly low / mid 80s.   Thu (8/3) transition to a more humid flow and with it warmer and storm chances, especially later Thu into Friday and again Fri PM.  The western ridge shift back west ping pong between Dallas / PHX with trough into the GL/NE.  The western Atlantic Ridge is pushed back east through the middle of next week.  There is a surge of heat pressing east from the western ridge in the Mon (8/7) - Thu (8/10) timeframe with the next shot at 90s.  Overall warmer starting Thu, humid and more storm chances.

Longer range the W. At Ridge is building west with the troug forced west into the GL and heights rising into the ec by mid month which could sustsin for a much warmer - hot period of the rest of the month.  Humid, warm - hot  storm chances and tropics to be watches into the SE/GOM.

Hot weather by mid August onward doesn't feel quite as bad vs June/July due to weaker sun.
