7:00 AM | *An excellent few days in the Mid-Atlantic region*

Paul Dorian

High pressure over the Great Lakes will control the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for much of the week. Temperatures and humidity levels will be quite comfortable for the early part of September with highs generally in the 70’s and overnight lows in the 50’s. The high shifts off the coast by the early part of the weekend and low pressure may combine with a cold frontal system to produce some rain in the region. Cool, dry air should follow the frontal passage for Sunday and Monday.

*The “Carrington Event” of 1859…a ferocious solar storm and not as rare as once thought…what it could mean in today’s world*

Paul Dorian

On September 1st, 1859, a ferocious solar storm took place that impacted much of the planet. This ferocious solar storm is now known as the “Carrington Event”, named after the British astronomer, Richard Carrington, who witnessed the largest solar flare from his own private observatory which caused a major coronal mass ejection (CME) to travel directly toward Earth. Recent studies of solar storms have warned that these type of “Carrington Events” may not be quite as rare as once thought (e.g., Hayakawa et al). Many previous studies leaned heavily on Western Hemisphere accounts, omitting data from the Eastern Hemisphere. A super storm of the same magnitude as the “Carrington Event” in today’s world would very likely have a much more damaging impact than it did in the 19th century potentially causing widespread power outages along with disruptions to navigation, air travel, banking, and all forms of digital communication.

6:15 AM | **Chance of showers and storms later tomorrow/tomorrow night...cool, dry air mass arrives on Labor Day Monday**

Paul Dorian

The work week will end with plenty of clouds, early day showers, and comfortable temperatures that should peak this afternoon in the lower 70’s...there can be a PM shower or thunderstorm, but mainly rain-free time. A cold front will bear down on the Mid-Atlantic from the northwest later tomorrow and this “primary” frontal system will likely bring more showers and thunderstorms to the area from late tomorrow into tomorrow night. A “secondary” cold front will then drop south and east into the Mid-Atlantic from later Sunday into Monday and it can result in an additional shower or thunderstorm, but nothing too organized and mainly a rain-free finish to the weekend. A cool, dry and fall-like blast of air arrives on Monday, Labor Day, and it’ll feature below-normal temperatures and very comfortable humidity levels right into at least the middle of next week.
