Labor Day is still two weeks away and that puts this outlook in the “speculation” phase; however, there are interesting and somewhat consistent signs of an “omega” blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere over North America which is more typical of winter or spring. An “omega” blocking pattern typically features an upper-level ridge sandwiched in between two upper-level troughs and these systems tend to linger for several days. If indeed this pattern unfolds with an upper-level trough over the Northeast US, then any chance for sustained heat for summer’s unofficial end would be quite low.

The overall unsettled weather pattern in the Mid-Atlantic region did not end with yesterday’s showers and thunderstorms. After a pleasant Friday, yet another wave of energy aloft will push south and east into the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday raising the chance of showers and thunderstorms from late tonight through Saturday and some of the rain can be heavy.
