We are still under the influence of a low pressure circulation to our northeast as we start the month of September, and it will work with a high pressure area building in from the west to send a very dry air mass into the region today on a gusty breeze – a very nice day to open up the first month of meteorological autumn. High pressure settles over the region on Friday with tranquil weather, a cool morning and a warm afternoon, and then a quick temperature drop off at night as we have a clear sky and light wind – the perfect set-up for radiational cooling. After a chilly very early morning on Saturday, we rebound nicely as the high pressure area in control of our weather to start Labor Day Weekend settles to the south. This high will send even warmer and eventually more humid air into the region by Sunday, but at that time another high building out of eastern Canada means there will be a dividing line between the two air masses in the form of a cold front, as the Canadian high builds southward against the retreating high to the south. The frontal boundary may help initiate a few showers and even a thunderstorm in parts of the region on Sunday afternoon, but I don’t expect this activity to be widespread or persist for very long. The front should push far enough south and high pressure from Canada build in enough so that we end up rain-free for the Labor Day holiday itself on Monday, but we may have to deal with a fair amount of cloudiness at times to finish off the long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure builds over the region then to the south with dry weather and a warming trend September 6-8. A frontal boundary should bring the chance of a few showers September 9 before a Canadian air mass brings dry and cooler weather to end the period. Rough surf may be evident along the coastline by the end of the period due to Atlantic tropical activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall pattern looks dry with variable but near to above normal temperatures as high pressure is the main driver of our weather. Continuing to monitor for offshore tropical activity which may at times increase surf along the coast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
