Above average Temperatures lead to a Warm Autumn

This fall is predicted to be a hot one for most of the Eastern sea board. The national forecast for the East shows temperatures well above average. It starts to cool down the farther West you go. Even well into October and November the East appears to have above average temperatures. This increased temperature will prolong the changing of the leaves.

"The September through November months are expected to feature near to above-average temperatures across a large swath of the United States, according to an updated fall temperature outlook by The Weather Company, an IBM Business. The East Coast will likely see temperatures the farthest above average."

"According to Dr. Crawford, a weak La Niña (cooler-than-average waters off the west coast of South America) could be in play through the fall and winter months, although the horizontal extent of those cooler-than-average waters is expected to be smaller than usual. At the same time, warmer-than-average water temperatures will prevail across much of the North Pacific."
