I just checked my copy of Starry Night Pro. Make sure you check out September 1 if the weather permits. On that evening, they are side by side in the sky.
Right off hand I'm too lazy to convert the amounts to decimal format, but it is closer on the 1st than the 2nd. In fact they are slightly closer on the 31st of August than Sept 2nd.

1 deg 30' separation on 8/31 - Jupiter above Venus
1 deg 13' on 9/1 - Side by side
1 deg 38' on 9/2 - Venus above Jupiter

If you want I can send you print screens from your city, but it's just two dots on a computer screen. More impressive in real life because they look like they merge together.
