DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A September hot spell lasts a few more days before it eases up on us. We haven’t had much in the way of heat to deal with all summer so getting a spike if it now will make those not used to it feel it that much more. The good news about getting hotter weather at this time of year, if you don’t care for it, is that with shorter daylight and lower sun angle it takes away from some of the intensity, especially since there is going to be fairly high humidity to go along with that heat. Its origin is that long-standing hot spell in the middle of the country as an adjustment in the pattern allows the ridge to slide eastward across our region over the next few days. Once the ridge axis gets offshore late in the week, we’ll watch for the approach of a trough from the west and an increase in shower and thunderstorm chances, but this may be quite slow to occur, keeping our weather mainly rain-free into the weekend. We’ll have to watch for remnant showers and storms approaching the WHW forecast area from the west Thursday evening and again some favoring the western portion of the area Friday and Saturday, with Sunday seeing an increase in chance and coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frontal boundary still in the vicinity with high humidity and wet weather chances to start the period, and another mid period frontal boundary may bring a shower or thunderstorm chance. Not as warm as previously, but temperatures still somewhat above normal into mid month. By late period we may be seeing a strong tropical system (Hurricane Lee) somewhere off the US East Coast. While it being far too soon to know the specific track, the early indications from the most reliable guidance indicate a track far enough offshore to spare the East Coast (and our region) any direct impact. Obviously, it’s in need of watching as time goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any offshore tropical system exits the vicinity (if it’s in the vicinity) early in the period, and the general pattern switches up to allow a shot or 2 of cooler\/drier air from Canada, with the potential for showers during air mass changes. More details to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
