But he will finally and rapidly move off to the NE as per the modeling shown below...a bit better agreement than earlier in the week...don't cha think?
However, the indirect effect of this tropical system and the resultant pressure gradient created along the east coast are causing big seas, strong winds, and plenty of rainfall. The monster high in SE O'Canada and the hurricane and warm oceans are quite a contrast for this early fall. Take a look...
Thus a strong easterly component to the winds and a natural baroclinic stalled front are causing quite a ruckus along the mid-Atlantic coast. Here is a buoy observation just off the Delmarva early this Saturday morning...that would make any winter-time nor'easter proud! (Well, maybe not the pressure...)
In terms of the front, simply look at the current temp map. Meteo 101; draw the front!
Let's see if you passed...the current wx map and stalled front with the above temps...
Well done minions! So once all of this "funk" passes and the upper air block dislodges, look for what will be an absolutely gorgeous fall week. Daytime highs in the mid-upper 70s and the overnight lows a few degrees either side of 50F. Currently for KMDT, climatology suggests 68F and 48F for the daily max and min this upcoming week. I suspect lows will be near normal, but once the ground dries, maxes will be 10+F from the 30 year averages. Good grass growing wx for all of you grass farmers out there! Thursday-Friday afternoons look to be the warmest. The only caveat; a front will be approaching later in the week and may spoil the potential warmth for Friday...
Even the American CFSv2 suggest warmth...here is the 5 day average in terms of temps for next week...
OK...enough said about the weather. But one thing to keep in mind, especially for you late risers, make it a point to awaken pre-sunrise Thursday and Friday and do your yoga stretches towards the eastern sky allowing you to be in awe of nature's glorious display as seen below. Venus is quite vivid in its position at present!
This could be you...or not. But either way, the clear skies will be worth the early am gander eastward!
I'm out with these parting thoughts. The Euro this week once again proved its supremacy in the numerical modeling world; the Orioles are...well...the Orioles, I'm now rooting for the Pirates, but concerned about a one game playoff AGAIN vs the hottest NL pitcher, and I think the Dow and the equity markets in general are at their lows in the near term, thus a time to buy? (DISCLAIMER: This is my own personal opine...seek professional investment advice! This financial content for entertainment only! Come to think of it, all of this content is for entertainment purposes...so I hope you are all entertained to some degree.) If you're off to any NCAA football today here in the east, stay dry and warm. The winds of November came a tad early!
Music! I almost forgot the music. I've had many tell me they like the music selections better than the weather synopsis. Hey, I can relate! So, let's see, hmmmm, how about a classic from one of my favorite bands. Quite apropos for this past week...Enjoy!
And enjoy the week's end!

AA: After a damp and breezy weekend, a beautiful week upcoming, I believe, with cool nights and warm days. Sharpen the blades and grease the fittings my friend!
