It is hard to believe that it was 25 years ago...a day that will never be forgotten...and the weather featured exceptionally clear, calm and sunny conditions across the Northeast US. A strong cold frontal system had pushed through the northeastern states on the previous night producing strong thunderstorms and paving the way for a spectacular weather day on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001. The 11th of September happens to fall right around the climatological peak of the Atlantic Basin tropical season and indeed there was a hurricane, Erin, that sat just 500 miles off the coast of New York City and its wind circulation helped to play a role in the aftermath of events that unfolded on that day.

A strong El Nino in the equatorial part of the Pacific Ocean can have several positive benefits including a typically quieter Atlantic Basin tropical season and this tranquil season is on the verge of making history. Indeed, if no hurricane develops in the Atlantic Ocean by Saturday, September 12th then this would be the latest time without one this late in the season in the satellite era which dates to 1966. There have been two prior tropical seasons in the satellite era with the first recorded hurricane happening on September 11th (Gustav in 2002 and Humberto in 2013) and while nothing is certain when it comes to the weather, this record appears all but certain with no development expected into the weekend. The climatological peak of the Atlantic Basin tropical season is right around the 10th of September and there is currently no activity whatsoever.

High pressure will continue to generate tranquil and warm conditions around here today, but a cold front will head in this direction on Thursday. This next front will raise the chance of showers and thunderstorms later tomorrow and early tomorrow night, but it doesn’t look as widespread of an event as we have experienced in recent days. High pressure should follow the frontal passage for the end of the week with rain-free and warm conditions likely on Friday, but another disturbance can bring us showers and thunderstorms during the upcoming weekend.
