Really great weather, about the best September can offer, will continue through Friday, and then return early next week, after a brief interruption from a passing cold front over the weekend. Other than this front, high pressure will remain dominant.

  1. At least, it seems, the weather will stay similar throughout the week. One thing that bothers me is when it constantly flips between hot and cold, because I can never get used to it if it keeps doing that!

    1. I’d be curious to know TK’s take as well. I can tell you that the latest
      guidance takes it way off shore. It was Eric Fisher’s thought last night as well.

      Been WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too busy at work to even peek here. YIKES!

      Have a great day all.

      1. It will flip flop like a storm in winter. One day the models will have it hitting, next day its offshore, next day its a great lakes cutter. Gut feeling, we get some impacts.

  2. Thanks TK.
    The NAO looks to be going negative so it is a possible to get something on the coast and impact us. A lot of model runs to go and this will change many times.

    1. Oh Mac is NOT going to be happy with that bit of news. His golf league tournament is the 27th. On the other hand — I’ll be watching 🙂

    1. Yes, my father (who is also quite into meteorology) agrees that you should never take the models’ predictions as a final forecast. You have to use what you know from experience, more than anything. Certain ones are better for certain conditions, but none are perfect, as meteorology being an complex science.

  3. Andy Reid making his return to Philly bringing in a 2-0 Chiefs team in there. Of course I am not happy they got that second win against my Cowboys on Sunday.

      1. The only other 2 Bruins pre-season games on TV are Monday September 23 & Thursday September 26, both on NHL Network.

    1. Cowboys haven’t won in 20yrs and haven’t been relevant for quite sometime, I think they go 8-8 🙂

  4. Starting Monday Mark Rosenthal will be coming to Boston Herald Radio. He is predicting a cold & snowy winter (but of course, aren’t most mets these days?). 😉

    I had no idea Mark had a two-year stint on Good Morning America. Does anyone happen to know how long ago this was? Just curious more than anything else.

    1. I used to listen to part of his Weather Blast show on local AM radio a few years ago (before it went off the air).

    2. Um, What is Herald Radio?

      I generally will have nothing to do with the Herald, however, I always
      enjoyed watching Mark Rosenthal. I think he is excellent. I also like Steve Buckley.

      Is this real radio? Or a webcast of some sort?

      Ok, it’s a Smart phone app, I think.

      Many thanks Philip. Very nice find.

      Now only IF I had a smart phone.

  5. Absolutely beautiful day today. I love the crunchy leaves, and it still feeling like a summer day.

    I am excited to learn about clouds and the weather in my Natural Disasters class 😀
    TK–Even though you are helping me along the way, I hope to be able to figure out more of your terminology on here without even asking you 😀 I’ll be an apprentice…a “Nill-ologist ;)” hahaha (I am making a reference to the nickname that TK calls me, for those who don’t know. Also, the name of my blog. I am “Nilly” because I call him “Silly”. 😀 Well in other news… I’m still seeing dragonflies! They are sticking around! I love them 🙂 And the butterflies are everywhere! I almost caught one today! It was so big, and the way that it was flying reminded me of a small bird! Really neat!

    Happy Thursday everyone! 😀

    1. Hi Emily. Im attending a meeting (via phone) at your school today. My business partner is attending in person. Beautiful day to be on your lovely campus.

  6. re: NAIL

    Welcome Nail!! I didn’t see any formal introduction. (Perhaps I missed it as I have been awol often recently)
    `
    I presume Nail is TK’s son? 😀

    1. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh – how did I miss that 🙂 And here I was planning to come here this morning and suggest Nail’s dad join us too. Now I feel just plain silly 😆

      Welcome again, nail.

  7. Re: Potential System Out of the Gulf

    So far, the Euro develops the most robust system and brings it to our latitude, but way off shore. The Canadian keeps it milling around the gulf, but then looks to position it
    to come directly at us at hour 240 from 0Z run. SO, I guess it still needs to be watched.

    Some links:

    The trough looks to deepen, possibly bringing the system up the coast.
    NOT as a hurricane, but as a soaking rain storm. We shall see. 😀

    1. Am I reading correctly, OS, that this is for 9/29 – Sunday? Am hoping for 27th to be spared for Mac’s tournament.

      1. I’m guessing that the 27th will be fine, BUT it still needs to be watched. Timing “could” get all screwed up. Who knows for sure.

        😀

    1. It looks like there might be a big storm or series of big storms somewhere south of the Gulf of Alaska, continually pumping in tremendous amounts of a mild Pacific airmass into the Western US and Western Canada, so, that might make sense why there’s a chance at above normal temps for a while.

      Of course, the NAO tanking that JJ mentions above may have something to different to say about that.

  8. Wow, look at the amount of rain in Texas and Arkansas that is accompanying the cold front because of the mositure working in from the remnants of the tropical storm/hurricane that hit Mexico a few days ago….

    I wonder if some of that will get entrained northward and make it more rainy than expected Sat Night into part of Sunday ???????

  9. Not buying a tanking NAO any time soon.

    We get our cool shots, but the pattern is mild for now.

    Blog is updated!
