It’ll become cooler today with some clouds and showers cannot be ruled out; especially, during the AM hours. The overall pattern turns warmer and drier for the end of the week and upcoming weekend with temperatures trending back up into the mid-to-upper 80’s for highs by early next week.
Read MoreIt’ll become unsettled this afternoon and evening with the approach of a disturbance from our west and there can be showers and thunderstorms...some of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels. Temperatures over the next several days will remain moderately warm with afternoon highs generally in the 80’s.
Read MoreThe month of September is now underway and there are three tropical waves to monitor in the Atlantic Basin in coming days, but none of these has yet to attain named tropical storm status. In fact, there has not been a newly named tropical storm system in the Atlantic Basin since “Ernesto” formed back on August 12th. The time period from the 13th of August until today, September 3rd, is the first such quiet stretch since 1968 without a newly named tropical system.
At the same time the tropics are showing some life after a quiet stretch here in early September, cool, crisp and dry air is dominating the scene from the Great Lakes/Upper Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US. Numerous locations early this morning were quite close to their record low temperatures for the date and indeed, there were a few spots that actually set daily low temperature records.
Read MoreTemperatures should be rather comfortable for the remainder of the week with highs likely confined to the 70’s by Thursday and Friday afternoons. An upper-level shortwave could help spark some PM shower and thunderstorm activity each of the next couple of days.
Read MoreHigh 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.
Read MoreIt’ll be dry and quite warm today with above-normal temperatures for early September and afternoon highs well up in the 80’s. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will increase later tonight and stick around for the next couple of days with a downward trend in temperatures and highs by Thursday afternoon likely confined to the middle 70’s.

Read MoreOn 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.
Read MoreIt stays quite hot for the next couple of days with high temperatures later today in the middle 90’s across northern Alabama then likely the low-to-mid 90’s on Saturday. In terms of rainfall, while there will be much rain-free time during the next few days, there will be a daily chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms.
