1. Thanks Tk.

2. Meterological summer is over,, thanks tk

3. Thanks Tk.
   Meteorological summer maybe over on Friday Charlie but to me summer does not go quietly and I think there will still be some blast of heat in September. I am hoping Friday is the last 90 plus degree day of 2012.

   1. To me summers over, I go more by daylight hrs and it’s like a turn off turn on switch and the summer switch has turned off and I’m in fall mode for the next 12 weeks 🙂 hope all is well

      1. Hi Charlie… I hope the summer switch will be turned off after Friday. I am looking forward to fall and then winter.
         I am hoping accuweather and the almanac are right in their call for above normal snowfall.

4. Thank you TK 🙂 🙂

5. In the tropics, I think we’ll see “Leslie” right behind Kirk.

6. I heard a fox 25 newscaster say they think the foliage will be later than last yr, so r we gonna have leaves on trees for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Haha that would be weird 🙂

   1. A friend in lake placid said leaves are already changing there. Daughters burning bushes in uxbridge started changing weeks ago.

7. Alot of evaporational cooling going on, temp down to 59.9 degrees a drop of 7.5 degrees in 90 min

8. Vicki you are almost through with your two weeks and there isn’t a storm chasing you away for once! Hope you and your family enjoyed your vacation.

   1. Hi North. We go home Sat :(. Three waking hours of rain and that was accompanied by great waves. It’s been a wonderful time with perfect weather. Well have a fire on the beach tonight :))). Thank you for asking

9. 104F today at Minot, ND and 111F at Pierre, SD….93F at Minneapolis, MN. The dewpoints in these areas are 40F to 50F and the relative humidities are in the 10 to 25% range.

   1. Wow Tom. That seems very hot for that far North for late August.

      1. Yes, I was surprised too……

         1. I recall lots of 90s to around 100 into September in that part of the country during my time as an agricultural meteorologist. So though we do not see it all the time, readings that high are not unheard of at this time of year.

10. So, at the last advisory, Isaac was moving NW at 5 mph and so, assuming a 24 hr avg movement of 6.5 mph, that would be about 155 to 160 total miles.

    I was thinking of what that might look like locally ? Perhaps, for example, making landfall at Block Island, RI and in 24 hrs, the center having moved a bit NW of maybe Hartford, CT. Then, along that ficticious path, transpose all the effects experienced in Louisiana into the heart of southern New England.

    At least up here, its usually a couple hour event, then its gone.

    1. Yes we are lucky that they don’t usually crawl when they move through here.

       1. Tropical systems are usually in rapid extratropical transition and are hauling when they come by this area.

          1. For sure, something like issac wouldn’t happen like that here

             1. You’re right. We’d have to have a very unusual set-up for anything remotely close to that to occur north of the Delmarva.

                1. Didn’t irene stall out over NH and VT last year. I remember devastating flooding?

                   1. Never stalled it was moving north at 17 mph, some storms likegloria or bob were moving 20-30 mph

                   2. It was the structure of the precipitation with the storm. The storm kept moving as Charlie said.

11. “Only a cold front will whistle through Friday night nearly unnoticed”

    If the cold front is whistling through Friday, I’m sure Friday will notice 😉 Hahahaha sorry that was BAD. I couldn’t help myself! Hahaha

    1. You hang around me too much, oh wise one. 😛

    2. Hahahaha I love that you catch these comments

12. The current 5 day precip forecast for Isaac.

13. Good morning 51.3 degrees, brrr it’s quite cool

    1. Feels great !

       1. I’ll second that

14. The 0z EURO had an interesting run, which seemed not to have much consistency with its previous runs. The pattern is very amplified, New England is very warm again the middle of next week and……..it builds a strong Atlantic ridge in such a configuration that it actually brings a tropical system towards our region from the southeast and in 10 days, has it just southeast of Nantucket.

15. If that precip from Issac come to fruition it sure would help in drought ravaged places. The greater issue is that they need sustained and prolonged rain to alleviate the situation.

16. The tropics continue to be active as Issac continues its track inland. Kirk forecasted to be a hurricane but thankfully remain a fish storm and that tropical wave in the central Atlantic looks to become a depression before too long.
    Nice autumn preview but summer will be here tomorrow and like I said last night I have a feeling were going to see some heat in September and summer will not go quietly.

    1. I agree. As I was saying the other day, we will have another warm fall. December will hit than It’s lights out winter, I predict 100 inches for Boston area’s. Warm fall will throw everyone off.

17. Hi John… I would love to see 100 inches of snow for the upcoming winter. After last winter I will be happy with near normal snowfall.
    Kirk is now a hurricane out over the fish and we have a new depression which is forecasted to become a hurricane and thanfully that looks to stay over the fish but could be some impacts with waves affecting Bermuda. I am thinking the front coming through early next week with the remanents of Issac is what will keep tropical depression away from the east coast and forcing it to make that turn to the north.

    1. We have a better shot of hitting 100 in Oct than getting a landfalling hurricane here, I’ve been here 40 yrs and only remember Gloria, the rest of the so called hurricanes for my area were nothing, I was working at stop and shop during bob and it was partly cloudy no wind and a few showers, my friend moved here in 90 and has yet to see 1, I keep saying 1 yr it will happen, it’s been 20 yrs haha, hope all is well 🙂

       1. Say what.

          1. Hahahaha 🙂

18. The new tropical storm looks to curve back out to sea about 1,000 miles east of east coast, new England only has 4 weeks left to we’re if we’re gonna get a landfalling hurricane it’s gotta happen in Sept, after that it won’t happen

19. So the 12z EURO continues the theme of merging newly formed T.S. Leslie with a disturbance off the SE coast, and then bringing it close to New England. This is all over a week out, but something to monitor.

    1. I’d bet money that doesn’t happen. 🙂

       1. The weather nuts here are going to be all over it, just need to remind them that there is a good chance for that to not verify. So many obstacles in it’s path.

          1. Climatology is one of that model solution’s biggest enemies.

20. I think Leslie is a fish storm with maybe some waves impacting Bermuda.

    1. Funny you say that, JJ. I just used the term “fish storm” in my new blog update, which has just been posted. 🙂
