Early September Heatwave Hits New York City For Five Possibly Six Days
Good afternoon everyone. The heat is here and it’s not going anywhere until Friday or Saturday depending on the timing of Friday’s cold front. We will sizzle in the 90’s through at least Thursday, with tomorrow being the hottest of the bunch.
Meanwhile in the tropics, things have settled down a bit (for now). This is typical when the activity ramps up and all of the energy is “spent” for the time being. Think of tropical activity has a “release valve” on the atmosphere. Once that energy builds up, we have a flurry of activity, then things settle down as the ocean gets churned up and dry air is pulled down; then things will ramp up again over the next couple of weeks.
As of now we have no immediate threats to the mainland United States or the Caribbean Islands.
SATELLITE
This is a very simple forecast, so we will keep it short and sweet. Look for sunny and hot conditions today with highs in the near 90/low 90 realm.
Tomorrow for Labor Day, we go for low to mid 90 temps and more sunshine.
WEATHER RADAR
The theme of sunshine and heat continues, with more low 90’s expected Tuesday through Thursday. It is Friday where we could see some changes, but it all hangs on the timing of our front. For now, I will call for increasing clouds, highs 85-90, and the chance of some heavy PM storms. Look for mid 80’s if everything moves in faster, near 90 temps if things progress slowly.
For next weekend, clouds and a few scattered showers may stick around Saturday with low 80’s. Clouds may stick around Sunday, but we should dry out with low to mid 80’s.
