August 29 New Push Of Cool Air Into Labor Day Holiday Weekend
Friday, August 29, 2025
Morning Report
A cold front will be crossing through the region today. There are patchy clouds, and the rain has faded. Some showers could pop up today, but there is high confidence in the wind increasing through the afternoon.
This reinforcing push of cooler air will last through the Labor Day holiday weekend, followed by another push next week. This will feel like a preview of autumn.

In Case You Missed It: Here is my annual comparison of the two most popular Farmers’ Almanacs as they hit the shelves. The theme is colder but there are subtle differences across our region which also includes their suggestion for snow.

Temperature Anomaly: ECMWF Model Through September 5
Temperatures remain cooler than average.
NOAA Temperature Outlook
Definitely a hint of Autumn. This may bring record low temperatures to parts of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes.
We notice above-average temperatures in the Northwest and Southern Texas/Florida.
It should be noted that often, an early-season cooldown is met with a late taste of summer to balance things out. We can still have a hot spell in mid- to late September.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
