The autumnal equinox happened around 5:51 yesterday morning. There were equal parts day and night everywhere on earth. Were the buildings not in the way, you could have witnessed yesterday's sunrise and sunset both occurring down the middle of Stuyvesant Street, the only street in Manhattan where that phenomenon can happen on the same day. Although today is the first full day of fall, continued summer warmth will be the norm for the next few days. They would be excellent days to go fall leaf peeping if there were colorful leaves at which to peep.
Once again a big high pressure system is in charge of the scene. We are still on the cooler, drier side of the system. Even so, today's high will be around 79 degrees, which is seven degrees above normal. It looks to be warmer tomorrow and Wednesday, expect highs to be just shy of 85, which is, well, we'll leave the math to you.
The latter part of the week will see a slow transition to cooler weather. A chance of rain starts to creep into the picture Wednesday night. A few showers, and possibly a thunderstorm or two, are expected on Thursday, but it should remain warm. The timing is still up in the air (no pun intended, ha!) but it looks like a cold front will arrive late Thursday night. Depending on the front's timing, showers may linger into Friday. After the front temperatures will return to seasonable highs in the lower 70s.
Meanwhile, way out east of here, Tropical Depression Jerry has formed. Jerry may not last the day and his remains are expected to head toward Greenland. At least three more disturbances in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico currently have potential to become tropical cyclones.

REPENT SINNERS FOR THE DAY IS COMING!
Actually I find all this global warming forecasting bullshit. Last year it was predicted we were going to have more hurricanes this year. Big deal we are at the letter J. Hardly catastrophic.
The world experienced a little ice age a while back and we are recovering from same. Some confine the Little Ice Age to approximately the 16th to the mid-19th centuries. It is generally agreed that there were three minima, beginning about 1650, about 1770, and 1850, each separated by slight warming intervals.
So it's all bullshit for the most part.
ummm, we log onto this site to get WEATHER commentary?
The weather posts are my favorite. Keep them up.
Little ice age? is this a new NY real estate term for an up and coming nabe?
Little ice age, go ahead and buy that waterfront highrise condo - it'll be like Venice...
Did the hurricane say "Why would Jerry BRING anything?" or "Why would JERRY bring anything?"
That's a shame.
Stuyvesant St. is the only street in Manhattan still aligned on a true East-West axis. It's a throwback to the early days of the island of Manhattan. When the grid system for streets that realigned everything on a northeast-southwest axis was instituted, Stuy St. was preserved, perhaps out of respect for the former Dutch Governeur.
I didn't realize that Petre Stuy was a Druid. So nice that he oriented his driveway true east to west so future New Yorkers could experience the experience twice a year.
I can't wait till the spring.
When will they setting up the monoliths in Dutch marble?
