Last Full Day Of Summer 2019

22. September 2019 · Comments Off on Last Full Day Of Summer 2019 · Categories: Fall · Tags: ,

While today certainly still feels summer-like, tomorrow won’t feel like the first day of Fall 2019. In fact, tomorrow will be more humid and uncomfortable compared to today. We’ll add New Jersey to the above graphic borrowed from NWS in western PA and Ohio 😉

Even though Tuesday and Wednesday will be cooler, the warmth remains all week throughout the area

Above normal temperatures look to continue into the beginning of October as well.

All of this warmth has come along with dry weather. For the first time in 18 months, parts of western New Jersey are on the drought monitor. Southern sections are at the lowest level which is D1, Abnormally dry.

We will get a little rain late Monday as a cold front passes through our area. Look for 0.1-0.25″ of rain in most locations – hardly enough to make a dent in our nearly 2″ month to date deficit.

Great stretch of fall weather on the way

One of the many things I love about Fall weather is the warm, comfortable dry days and the cool nights. We have this beautiful stretch of weather for western New Jersey and beyond starting today. The nice stretch should last until the weekend.

The only thing that will change by the weekend is warmer and slightly more humid weather. Out next chance of rain is next Monday afternoon as a cold front passes.

The only negative thing I can say about this weather is we have been somewhat dry lately. I know a lot of people are not going to complain about that since we have a rain surplus year to date. But many lawns are starting to note the dryness. It might even impact fall foliage a bit. Stewartsville has only received just under 3/4″ since September 1st. Keep in mind no rain is in the forecast for the next 6 days and it doesn’t look like a lot next Monday either.

Fall Arrives….. One week Late

7 Day forecast for western New Jersey

7 Day forecast for western New Jersey

The early fall heat wave is over! Much more seasonable and enjoyable weather is finally here. Or back if you remember the early part of the month! Some warmer and above normal weather looks to return around the middle of next week but ti doesn’t look to be as warm as what we just had – hopefully only mid 70’s for daytime highs.

In looking ahead to the first half of October for western Jersey, warm and dry trend of late looks to continue. My lawn is starting to show signs of dryness – first time this warm season!

HOpefully we will still have cool nights. Fall foliage likes warm days and cool nights to bring out the best and brightest colors!

Dry Weather Continues – Impacting Leaves?

FallFoliage

Our dry September continues. Its been over 7 days since we had our last good soaking and no significant rain is in the forecast.

Is this impacting the leaves? While I’m no expert, I always thought that a dry fall would make the leaves dry up and wither away instead of changing to the annual brilliant colors. But I could be wrong. I know change in he angle of sunlight as well as temperature change, especially differences from day to night also impact leave changes as well. It’s ideal to have cool nights and warm days. We certainly have been having warm days, if not hot, but until recently the nights haven’t been all that cool.

Regardless Fall officially arrives on Wednesday. Ironically it will be milder on Wednesday and Thursday with daytime highs in western new jersey approaching near 80. Cooler weather looks to arrive over the upcoming weekend. There could be some showers early next week or even as soon as Sunday. But it doens’t look like a soaking at this point.
