DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 2-6)

This Labor Day Weekend definitely completes the book-end fair-weather holiday weekends for the summer tourist / vacation season as high pressure, sitting just to our south, governs the weather and provides rain-free conditions. A high-altitude wildfire smoke plume from western Canada provides a hazy look to the sky today but as it moves out later in the day the sky will lose the hazy look. A disturbance will pass by the region tonight with some cloudiness, but its timing takes it out of the region by morning, leaving Sunday with lots of sun and warmer than today. Labor Day Monday into the middle of next week will feature rain-free weather with very warm and more humid weather – the feel of summer just at its unofficial ending.

TODAY: Smoke-filtered sun becomes brighter with time then becomes interrupted by high clouds at times later in the day. Highs 72-79. Dew point middle 50s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Lots of clouds. Lows 57-64. Dew point middle 50s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85. Dew point near 60. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Fog patches in lowest elevations. Lows 60-67. Dew point lower 60s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

MONDAY (LABOR DAY): Mostly sunny. Highs 81-88. Dew point middle 60s. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Fog patches in lowest elevations. Lows 62-69. Dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 82-89. Dew point middle to upper 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Fog patches in lowest elevations. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60s. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 83-90. Dew point 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 7-11)

Still expecting the arrival of unsettled weather by the start of this period with high humidity and showers/thunderstorms. How long does it hang around is the question. May remain unsettled until mid period before we dry out again as things slow down a bit in the atmosphere. Will monitor and fine-tune. Temperatures come back down to more seasonable levels.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)

Leaning toward high pressure to be more dominant than low pressure which is pushed more to the south, so the idea here is mild and mainly dry, but not said with high confidence.

  3. There are very bears in Western Europe. But the further east and north you go the landscape, vegetation, and wildlife become more similar to ours. In fact, the Ural mountains in Russia resemble the Appalachians. In some ways they’re an almost perfect simile. And parts of Belarus, the Baltic countries, and Scandinavia have plenty of black bears just like Northern New England. On this video you’ll see a bear in Belarus trying to cross the border (fence) into Lithuania: https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1697907926411649501

      1. It really did for me as well. Hit like a ton of bricks. He is the soundtrack for my pool days and this Summer and last we stayed at the Margaritaville in Hollywood Beach. Beautiful resort. Really appreciated the positive vibe Jimmy shared with the world.

        1. I think we are far from alone. There are some lovely tributes but even those don’t make it seem real.

          What wonderful memories you have ♥️

  9. A very brief sports note. We Americans tend to overhype our “trade deadlines” across all sports. Usually not a whole lot happens at the deadline. Well, in international soccer – across all leagues (especially in Europe/UK) – the transfer deadline of the end of August is if anything underhyped. The deals, the transfers, the sums of money involved (many billions of dollars), and the movement of often marquee players are rather incredible. While there is a mid season window for transfers, it’s the one that occurs in August, just after the season starts (usually about 3 or 4 weeks in) that is far more impactful.

    1. 100% agree.
      We have everything messed up and backwards here in the USA. 😉
      In fact ASU is probably better these days: America’s States Untied.

  11. I made a playlist on Spotify off of Jimmy Buffett’s collection called “Boats Beaches Bars & Ballads” that I’ll listen to today when I head up to Gloucester later for the Boat Parade & Fireworks. All the classics and some hidden gems are on that 94 minutes playlist. Never got to see him play live. I know SAK has before and others here I’m sure. Wish I had. Rest in peace Jimmy!

    1. I’m not quite ready to do that (probably never lol) but if I HAD to choose one of those, I’d stay on this continent and forego Europe (and Asia), and go with Sask, Canada. 🙂

  13. Former Senator and UN Ambassador Bill Richardson has passed way at his Chatham, Massachusetts vacation home. He was 75. Richardson was a great man, a true public servant who cared deeply about diplomacy.

    2. I love that song!

      Did you see that the guitarist Jack Sonni died at just 68. He played on the album Brothers in Arms and did some touring with the band.

  16. I have a Jimmy Buffet sort of weather related post.

    After Hugo, he gave money to both Charleston and Isle of Palms to replace many palm trees lost in the hurricane.

  19. Stanford and Cal joining the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) gives a new (and VERY expansive) meaning to Atlantic Coast.

  21. I know I’m coming late to the party today, but I have to admit that I’m really saddened by the passing of Jimmy Buffett. His music transcended generations. My wife and I saw him three times and one of those times was 2 days before our wedding, tickets and transportation were a wedding gift from one of my groomsmen. Tonight we had cheeseburgers and made a blender full of blueberry and jalapeño margaritas in his memory. RIP: Jimmy! We will all keep trying to reason with hurricane season.

    1. Aww. SC. You have such special memories all wrapped around Jimmy Buffett. It seems in addition to his songs that was his very special gift. What a wonderful tribute you and your wife had to his memory.

  22. Joshua, you forgot to mention that SMU (Southern Methodist University) will be joining the ACC as well. This makes absolutely NO sense, at least geographically.

    How does the name “Atlantic Coast” include the states of Texas (SMU) and California??? 🙄

  23. At the end of the 2023-2024 season there will be no PAC 12 conference as all the teams with the exception of Washington State and Oregon State are the only teams so far that have not gone to another conference.

  24. At least tonight we will have one more night of good sleeping weather. We “should” be moving into a pattern that allows more intrusions from Canada than the Deep South. Instead the humid air continues to dominate. We get a 2-day stretch of dry air then a 5-7 day stretch of the awful stuff. It just never ends regardless of the calendar.

    1. We’ve actually been in that “more intrusions from Canada” pattern since about July 20. August was not overly humid in comparison to the 2 months that preceded it. It was our intrusions from the Deep South that were limited during last month.

      And regarding the calendar, it does end. It’s normally somewhat humid more frequently in the summer, at least the type of humidity that people notice. Nothing new there. 🙂

  25. Agree, Philip. It’s really weird to retain the name Atlantic Coast Conference when you have teams that are nowhere near the Atlantic. I get it that they’re changing things up. But then change the darn names. Call it the Allovertheplace Conference.

  26. Re college sports: It’s time to eliminate conferences I think. There should be enough intelligence out there to figure out which teams match with which teams, and make a schedule based on that. It’s college – not pro. We have a little too high a priority of this stuff in this country. Just play the sport.
