September in July: Big cold front to bring stellar weather next week

Following in the footsteps of the record-setting cool air mass in mid-July, a second blast of air with polar origins will invade the eastern U.S. to close July. Like the original, the sequel will be glorious.

This taste of September may not be quite as strong mid-July’s version, but should produce temperatures 10-20 degrees below normal across a large swath of the eastern U.S. by early Tuesday.

i need some heat to ripen my tomatoes. where’s algore and his pile of hot air?

[bigbob]

It’s been damned nice all last week and again most of this week after a misearable hot and humid day or two here in flyover country. Highs in the upper 70s, clear sunny and low humidity. Bling on the grobal walming!

Joe Bastardi had been right on target with his long range forcasts.

The Profit Algore is avoiding the subject while he counts his money.

You nailed it.
The guy is just a cheap charlatan and huckster.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I was wondering what effect this would have on crops.

[laplata]

Yep.

Actually, Al is an *exceptional* charlatan and huckster. Wealthiest snake oil salesman the world has ever seen.

[mylife]

Agreed.
One of the best I have seen until Obama.

Maybe next winter will be interesting, but winters between 3 and 9 years from now might be much more interesting.

[laplata]

You’re right. I’ve heard that we’re probably entering a mini ice age.

[blondee123]

Dang global warming!

If you are genuinely worried for your tomatoes, a cold frame will help. Clear plastic over a wood framework placed over the plant will keep the heat in. I do this every fall.

[familyop]

It’s a possibility. Our European ancestors survived the greater extended minimum in early America, so we should be able to stand it.

I would gladly trade you some heat for your tomatoes for some of that cool air. The thermometer on my patio read 121 yesterday, and 118 today.

[ansel12]

It was a 102 here today.

[SoFloFreeper]

Global Warming.
