Historical:


1766: A hurricane made landfall at modern-day Galveston, Texas. The following is from David Roth of the Weather Prediction Center. “A mission, named San Augustine de Ahumado was located in what is nowadays known as Chambers County. This mission was destroyed and subsequently abandoned. A seven-foot storm surge put the area under water. A richly-laden treasure fleet of 5 galleons en route from Vera Cruz to Havana was driven ashore and had to wait many weeks for assistance to come. La Caraqueña wrecked on Galveston Island while El Nuevo de Constante sank along the western Louisiana coast. Fortunately, much of the treasure and people aboard were saved.”

1939 - A thunderstorm deluged Washington D.C. with 4.4 inches of rain in two hours. September of that year was very dry across much of the nation, and Washington D.C. received more rain in that two hour period than most other places in the country that entire month. (David Ludlum)

 

1941: A violent tornado ripped through Northeast and North Minneapolis shortly afternoon on this day. The hardest-hit location was the Soo Line Railroad’s Shoreham Yards where four people died, and at least 50 were injured. The death toll at Soo Line could have been higher, but the tornado struck five minutes after the lunch bell went off, meaning 100 men left the shops.

1970 - The greatest natural disaster of record for Arizona occurred. Unprecedented rains caused rivers in central Arizona to rise five to ten feet per hour, sweeping cars and buildings as far as 30 to 40 miles downstream. Flooding claimed the lives of 23 persons, mainly campers, and caused millions of dollars damage. Water crested 36 feet above normal near Sunflower AZ. Workman's Creek was deluged with 11.40 inches of rain in 24 hours to establish a state record. Moisture from Pacific Tropical Storm Norma led to the severe flooding. (4th-6th) (The Weather Channel)

1986 - An unusually strong dust devil moved across the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport. The dust devil blew open the doors of the National Weather Service office scattering papers and bringing down a ceiling-mounted light fixture. (Storm Data)

1987 - Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front produced heavy rain across the Southern Atlantic Coast States. Up to eight inches was reported north of Charleston SC. Serious flooding was reported in Monks Corner SC. Seven cities in the northeastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date. Houlton ME dipped to 32 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - The western U.S. experienced another day of record heat. The afternoon high of 91 degrees at Stampede Pass WA established an all-time record for that location, and Los Angeles CA equalled their all-time record high with a reading of 110 degrees. A record high of 107 degrees at San Diego CA was their hottest reading in 25 years. Red Bluff CA was the hot spot in the nation with an afternoon reading of 118 degrees. (National Weather Summary)

1989 - Overnight thunderstorm rains of four and a half to seven inches drenched eastern Nebraska during the morning hours, pushing creeks out of their banks, and flooding fields, country roads and city streets. Totals ranged up to 6.97 inches south of Creston. It was also a soggy Labor Day for northern Florida. Jacksonville reported 6.82 inches of rain, and evening thunderstorms produced 2.75 inches of rain in one hour at Sandlewood. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

 

2000: Houston and College Station, Texas recorded their hottest day on record when highs reached 109° and 112° respectively. Houston has tied their record on August 27th, 2011. Other daily record highs included: Wichita Falls, TX: 111°, Waco, TX: 111°, Dallas, (DFW), TX: 111°, Austin, (Bergstrom), TX: 110°, Austin (Camp Mabry), TX: 110°, Dallas, TX: 110°, Victoria, TX: 110°, San Antonio, TX: 109°, Shreveport, LA: 108°, Corpus Christi, TX: 107 °F. 

 

2007: Hurricane Felix came ashore in the pre-dawn hours as a Category 5 storm on the northeastern coast of Nicaragua. At the time of its landfall, the maximum sustained surface winds were approximately 160 mph. Felix killed at least 130 people along the coast, with damage in Nicaragua totaling $46.7 million. 

 

2011: The center of Tropical Storm Lee moved ashore around sunrise. However, it would be a while before Lee would weaken to a depression as it remained nearly stationary while the southern half of the circulation was over water where it could continue to derive additional energy from the warm ocean. Lee brought torrential rains to Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

 

2016: An EF1 tornado developed in the open country area north of Merna, Wyoming. The tornado caused tree damage along its 2.45-mile path. At its widest, the tornado produced sporadic tree damage approximately 300 yards across. The trees fell on some fence line but otherwise caused no property damage.

Not necessarily.  Some places could pick up an inch. Especially western sections

it will depend on that feature out in the Atlantic-sometimes that produces a screw zone of little precip b/w the front and the storm

This could be the first time in the 2020s that the highest September temperature at Newark comes after September 15th. The high for the month so far at Newark was 86° on September 1st. Newark hasn’t had a September high this low since 2009. The cooler pattern is forecast to continue another week or so  before we warm up later in the month. That’s when Newark has a chance to surpass the 86° high on the 1st.

The greatest heights look north along with warmest departures. I could see a lower high, high min pattern for 2nd half of September

Agreed, looks like potential for onshore flow as central Canada has highest departures with ridge once again N of us.

Yeah it looks like the type of pattern in which we'll see significantly above average temps for mid to late September (highs low to mid 80s for our area) but not major heat. It's long range though so obviously it's tough to predict right now. 

Anyway before then I'm enjoying this refreshing weather we're having early in the month. It got down to 48 here last night, and we have another nice cool shot coming for Sunday into Monday.

It’s looking like another over the top warm up. So it will start out with onshore flow and warm mins. But some of that heat building over the Midwest will eventually come east. So probably some more highs in the 85-90° range for the usual warm spots NJ later in the month once the flow turns more SW. It’s the type of warm up which could erase most of the early month cool departures.

After a cool start, temperatures again rose into the pleasant 70s across the region.

Much of this week will feature refreshing temperatures and low humidity. Temperatures will mainly top out in the middle and upper 70s. Fair weather should persist through Friday. Showers are possible on Saturday.

Overall, the first week of September will likely wind up somewhat cooler than normal. A ridge in the West, trough in the East pattern could persist into the second week of the month allowing for additional cooler than normal days.

As a result, parts of the West that just went through their hottest summer on record could remain abnormally warm through the first half of the month. As extreme heat spreads back into the Pacific Northwest starting tomorrow, Portland could tie or break its record for latest 100° day on record. Salem will likely reach 100° on one or two days, which would break the annual record of 7 100° or above days that was set in 1988.

Phoenix reached 111°, its record-tying 55th 110° day. Palm Springs topped out at 116°, its record-tying 23rd 115° day.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.2°C for the week centered around August 28. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.35°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.07°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely evolve into a La Niña event during the fall.

The SOI was +5.23 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.247 today.

50 / 49 after a low of 49.   Another gem, sunny near / low 80s in the warmer spots.  Perhaps a touch more humid tomorrow, more clouds but about as warm.   Troigh swings through with a front on Sat with clouds and storms/showers generally 0.25 - 1.00 (northern).   Clears and cooler Sunday - mid 70s.   A warmer repeat of this last week next - overall dry and near normal - getting warmer by mid week low - mid 80s.   Overall warmer second half - not sure how much heat (90s) will reach the area as there is a tenacity for onshore flow with the ridge going north, but suspect the warmth builds in.  Tropics remain a slow so far.

Saturdays front has completely dried up. Where is this active east coast hurricane season everyone called for? 

Yeah we'll be lucky to get .25 and even that might be a stretch.     Hurricane season is a bust, I think that's obvious at this point.

We aren't in some sort of crisis drought situation, I'd rather have a dry and enjoyable weekend.
