Thursday Forecast

7:39AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 4)
Cold front comes through tonight and results in a significant difference from a final day of August that feels like summer and a first day of September that feels like autumn. High pressure tries to hold on for the weekend but the remains of Harvey will have to traverse the region in one form or another, the details of which are yet to be determined, but the current leaning is for part 1 to miss to the south late Saturday and for part 2 to come through with a few areas of showers Sunday morning and midday then a summery feel returning for Labor Day.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated mid to late afternoon showers/thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 76-82 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-57. Wind W to NW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 66-72. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Mostly to partly sunny. Lows from the lower 40s interior valleys to lower 50s coast. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers morning-midday. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to upper 70s.
MONDAY – LABOR DAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the lower 80s to lower 90s.

DAYS 7-10 (SEPTEMBER 5-9)
A more humid pattern with episodes of showers/thunderstorms possible. Temperatures near normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 10-14)
Same general pattern expected with temperatures near to above normal.

Wednesday Forecast

7:42AM

Another slight format skew today on account of Labor Day Weekend upcoming…

DAYS 1-6 (AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 4)
Low pressure tossed a bit of rain further north into eastern MA and RI than I expected as it expanded during its intensification overnight. This is a non-tropical system and will move away today. The remainder of the forecast is largely unchanged with a warmer day expected Thursday, a cold front bringing cooler/dry air for Friday-Saturday, then a little uncertainty based on where the remains of Harvey go. For now, staying with yesterday’s idea, but a whole lot of the Sunday-Monday period may end up rain-free as well.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy morning with rain gradually tapering off southeastern MA and a few showers dissipating over central MA and southwestern NH. Clearing this afternoon. Highs 70-77. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 50-57. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Scattered mid to late afternoon showers/thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 75-80 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the lower 40s interior valleys to lower 50s coast. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers early. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to upper 70s.
MONDAY – LABOR DAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the lower 80s to lower 90s.

DAYS 7-10 (SEPTEMBER 5-8)
A more humid pattern with episodes of showers/thunderstorms possible. Temperatures near normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)
Same general pattern expected with temperatures near to above normal.

Tuesday Forecast

4:46PM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 2)
Tropical moisture will pass south of New England tonight and early Wednesday, skirting the South Coast with rain and otherwise bringing some cloudiness to the region. A cold front traverses the region later Thursday with a shower and thunderstorm threat. A cool/dry air mass arrives for the end of the week including the start of the Labor Day weekend.
THROUGH EVENING: Mainly cloudy. Temperatures in the 60s to near 70. Wind light NE to E.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. A period of rain possible after midnight favoring Islands & Cape Cod. Lows 52-57. Wind E 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH with higher gusts Nantucket.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny morning including a risk of rain early on Nantucket. Mostly sunny afternoon. Highs 70-77. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 50-57. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Scattered mid to late afternoon showers/thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 75-80 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the lower 40s interior valleys to lower 50s coast. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 3-7)
Expecting 2 pushes of tropical moisture associated with the remnants of Harvey, the first largely failing and producing only isolated showers on September 3, the second combining with a trough from the west and bringing a better chance of showers on Labor Day, September 4. Additional showers/thunderstorms possible at times during the remainder of the period as a trough sets up in the Great Lakes and high pressure builds off the Atlantic Coast.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 8-12)
Same general pattern expected with temperatures variable but trending to above normal, with a few episodes of showers and thunderstorms, but the forecast is lower than average confidence at this point.

Monday Forecast

11:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 28-SEPTEMBER 1)
High pressure remains in control and will hold today. Tropical moisture lilely in the form of a tropical storm will pass south of New England Tuesday night and Wednesday and bring cloudiness, and possibly some rain onto the South Coast as well but this will not turn out to be a major storm or anything lasting. A cold front will cross the region Thursday and deliver a cool air mass to end the week and start September.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 50-58. Wind light E.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 68-75, coolest East Coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 10-20 MPH with higher gusts late South Coast.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of rain early South Coast. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Chance of late-day shower or thunderstorm. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 2-6)
At this time Saturday September 2 through Sunday September 3 look dry with a cool start and a warmer finish. Monday September 4 and Tuesday September 5 look humid and showery with drier weather returning to end the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 7-11)
Looks like a drier pattern with cool start and warmer finish.

Sunday Forecast

10:39AM

Making a few tweaks in details and timing but no massive changes from yesterday’s overall ideas.

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 27-31)
High pressure remains in control and will hold early in the week. It looks like tropical moisture in the form of a tropical cyclone will pass south of New England Tuesday night and Wednesday and bring the cloudiness that I mentioned in, and it may be close enough to toss some rain onto the South Coast as well but this will not turn out to be a major storm or anything lasting. The uncertainty was already known and remains somewhat as this area of disturbed weather still has a somewhat uncertain future and we can only go largely by the most reliable guidance we have at this point, so further tweaks may be necessary. I’m also going to adjust the timing of a cold front that I had mentioned for next Friday, and thinking that now arrives by late Thursday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind light NE to E.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 47-57, coolest interior valleys. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 50-58. Wind light E.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 68-75, coolest East Coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 10-20 MPH with higher gusts late South Coast.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of rain early South Coast. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Chance of late-day shower or thunderstorm. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 1-5)
At this time Friday September 1 through Sunday September 3 look dry with a cool start and a warmer finish. Monday September 4 and/or may still turn showery with another front and potential tropical moisture. Lower confidence with time on this part of the forecast.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)
Skeptical of medium range guidance and staying with an idea of warmer/drier overall.

Saturday Forecast

10:42AM

Altering format slightly today to group the last days of August and the Labor Day Weekend together.

DAYS 1-6 (AUGUST 26-31)
High pressure will remain in control for the last 6 days of August with fair weather and below normal but pleasant temperatures. Active tropics will not impact this area as Harvey weakens and sits over eastern Texas producing major flooding, and a possible developing system near Florida would be kept south of New England by the middle of the week, except possibly some cloudiness, with high pressure holding strong.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-58, coolest interior valleys. Wind light NE.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind light NE to E.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 47-57, coolest interior valleys. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 7-10 (SEPTEMBER 1-4 / LABOR DAY WEEKEND)
Current timing suggests cold fronts passing by around Friday September 1 and Monday September 4 with high pressure dominating in between. The first cold front would likely have limited moisture and the second front could possibly have remnant tropical moisture with it, producing more widespread showers. Humidity levels may be up especially second half of the period. Temperatures not far from normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 5-9)
Current indications are for warmer and drier than normal weather during this period.

Friday Forecast

8:19AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 25-29)
A disturbance moving across the region this morning will produce cloudiness and even a few showers, then high pressure overtakes the weather for several days resulting in a cooler than normal and dry weather pattern.
TODAY: Lots of clouds and a passing shower in some locations morning. Partly to mostly sunny afternoon. Highs 73-80. Wind light N with coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-52 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light N.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 71-77, coolest coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s but some upper 40s interior valleys. Highs in the 70s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 3)
The pattern during this period will support more warmth and humidity, but we will have to watch for 2 potential impacts from tropical systems, and in this case impacts can range widely from remnant moisture to an actual storm. One will be possible remnant moisture from Hurricane Harvey which will be impacting coastal Texas for the next several days. Another will be a possible tropical system forming off Florida’s East Coast which may eventually try to move northward up the coast or possibly remain offshore. Plenty of questions yet to be answered regarding both of these.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 4-8)
Indications are for generally above normal temperatures with limited chances for any rainfall.

Thursday Forecast

2:24AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 24-28)
High pressure centered over southeastern Canada and a low pressure trough aloft gradually weakening and sliding eastward combined for a cooler than normal and dry weather pattern for the next 5 days.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 72-79. Wind light N with coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-52 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light N.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 73-80. Wind light N with coastal sea breezes.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Clear overnight. Lows 48-52 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light N.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 71-77, coolest coast. Wind light NE.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s but some upper 40s interior valleys. Highs in the 70s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 2)
Humidity and warmth increases. The main potential precipitation threats would come from a potential tropical system offshore of the East Coast pending development near Florida but this is still uncertain, and the remains of Harvey which is expected to impact Texas soon.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 3-7)
Indications are for generally above normal temperatures with limited chances for any rainfall.

Wednesday Forecast

12:06PM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 23-27)
Cold front moves offshore and in comes a drier and cooler pattern lasting many days.
TODAY: Clouds and a passing shower possible Cape Cod through midday. Sun and passing clouds elsewhere. Highs 77-85. Wind shifting to W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 50-55 interior, 55-60 coast. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 28-SEPTEMBER 1)
Generally fair with temperatures pleasant but somewhat below normal to start the period as high pressure holds. Increasing humidity and possibly a few showers later in the period. Indications continue that any tropical activity will be kept to the south and east but will continue to watch it.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 2-6)
Seasonably warm and somewhat humid with a few shower and thunderstorm opportunities during this time period.

Tuesday Forecast

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 22-26)
A one-day heat and humidity episode will be quickly put to rest by a cold front that passes by early Wednesday. The timing of this front is such that it is likely sparing the region an outbreak of strong to possibly severe thunderstorms, leaving only the risk of a few showers and locally heavier storms coming through late tonight. Drier air will flow in later Wednesday and be in control into late week, along with somewhat cooler temperatures.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Humid. Highs 78-85 south Coast, 85-92 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Showers/thunderstorms possible from northwest to southeast late night and overnight hours. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorm exiting from northwest to southeast early, then partly sunny with a slight risk of isolated afternoon showers. Humid start, drier finish. Highs 77-85. Wind shifting to W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 27-31)
Generally fair with temperatures pleasant but somewhat below normal to start the period as high pressure holds. Increasing humidity and possibly a few showers later in the period. Indications for now are that any tropical activity will be kept to the south and east but will continue to watch it.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 1-5)
Seasonably warm and somewhat humid with a few shower and thunderstorm opportunities during this time period, which includes the Labor Day Weekend. Will fine-tune and detail this forecast going forward.

Monday Forecast

3:06AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 21-25)
First, the solar eclipse. As we’ve been talking about, the solar eclipse is today. With the path of totality well to the south of New England, unless you are making a trip to a narrow strip of land to hope for clear enough sky to witness it in person, you’ll have to rely on TV or the internet for that. Here in southern New England, we’re looking at a 60-65% coverage of the sun (63% in Boston) at eclipse maximum which is 2:46PM. The beginning is 1:28PM. The end is at 3:59PM. And the sky will be mainly clear for this event with great viewing conditions. I cannot urge you enough to view this eclipse safely with certified glasses made for the event, or a home made sun “projector” which allows you to project the image of the sun on a surface making it safe to view. When we get to Tuesday, the heat will be in for a one-day stand, along with higher humidity, but this will be cut short by a cold front that crosses the region from northwest to southeast in the early hours of Wednesday. Showers/thunderstorms that enter northwestern New England Tuesday night will likely be weakening as they cross southern New England overnight and early Wednesday, but we will have to watch for a few stronger storms that survive the trip. This will coincide with the one-year anniversary of the 3:20AM Concord MA tornado, which was a reminder that severe weather, though rare at that time, can occur at any time. Not looking for severe weather this time but cannot completely rule out a couple stronger storms surviving. Drier air will flow in later Wednesday and be in control into late week, along with somewhat cooler temperatures, though I am not convinced it gets as cool as some of the computer guidance suggests, so will bias the forecast a bit to the warmer side of most that you will see. My reasoning for this is that I believe guidance is coming up with a low pressure trough that is deeper and slower-moving than the one that will occur.
TODAY: Sunshine, dimmed by the moon for part of the afternoon (most noticeable 2:30PM-3:00PM). Highs 78-83 Cape and Islands, 84-89 elsewhere, though the temperature may drop a couple degrees during mid point of eclipse then recover – hardly noticeable. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Becoming more humid overnight. Lows 62-67. Wind light SW.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Humid. Highs 78-85 south Coast, 85-92 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Showers/thunderstorms possible from northwest to southeast late night and overnight hours. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorm exiting from northwest to southeast early, then partly sunny with a slight risk of isolated afternoon showers. Humid start, drier finish. Highs 77-85. Wind shifting to W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 26-30)
Generally fair with temperatures pleasant but somewhat below normal on the August 26 but we will then have to keep an eye on the tropics for a possible system near or off the East Coast as otherwise the temperatures moderate and humidity increases again.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 4)
Seasonably warm and somewhat humid with a few shower and thunderstorm opportunities during this time period, which includes the Labor Day Weekend. Will fine-tune and detail this forecast going forward.

Sunday Forecast

10:50AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 20-24)
No big changes for this update. High pressure dominates today through Tuesday with pleasant if not a bit breezy conditions today with sun/clouds. I’d forecast 100% sunshine Monday as I expect nothing but a few high clouds in the sky, however the moon will be crossing in front of the sun from 1:28PM to 3:59PM (mid point 2:46PM) and will cover 60-65% of the sun across southern New England at its mid point. The well-advertised path of totality will enter the Pacific Northwest and exit via the Carolinas and thanks to media we’ll get plenty of opportunity to “see” it. You may wonder when the next total is for reasonably close to this area. The answer is: Monday April 8 2024 when the path of totality will cross Upstate NY and northern Maine. Start planning your trip now! 😉 Back to the weather…by Tuesday we’re going to see what has become a rare hot day, but that’s only for a day, as a cold front will put a quick end to that on Wednesday, and a Canadian high will bring cooler/drier air by Thursday.
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 78-86, coolest Cape Cod. Wind NW 5-15 MPH but gusting around or just over 20 MPH at times.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 55-60 interior valleys, 60-65 elsewhere. Wind light NW to N.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-83 Cape Cod and some immediate shores, 83-88 otherwise. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the middle 80s to lower 90s.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 25-29)
Dry with a warming trend August 25-26. More humid August 27-29 and what is uncertain is whether or not we will be directly or indirectly impacted by a tropical system at some point during this time. Will watch and fine-tune in the days ahead.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 3)
Again, as with the end of the 6-10 day period we will need to keep an eye on the tropics since it’s impossible this far in advance to know in detail what any possible tropical system might do, and there has been enough hinting of this on medium range guidance that I won’t turn my back on the possibility. Outside of this potential, the pattern should support fairly warm and mainly dry weather.

Saturday Forecast

11:12AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 19-23)
A stretch of warmer weather gets underway this weekend but a bit slowly today as a weak cold front moves offshore and a slow dry-out process takes place. High pressure will be dominant Sunday-Tuesday with a gradual increase in heat, most noticeable Tuesday. Eclipse weather for Monday looks perfect with sunshine and just a few passing clouds possible. The solar eclipse begins at 1:28PM, peaks at 2:46PM, and ends at 3:59PM. At peak, 60-65% of the sun will be covered depending on your exact location in southern New England. When we get to Wednesday, a cold front is due with a shower/thunderstorm risk, but timing is not easily determined this far in advance.
TODAY: Any remaining low clouds diminish with more sunshine. Isolated pop up shower or thunderstorm possible southeastern NH, eastern MA, eastern CT, and RI this afternoon. Humid. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 80-85 elsewhere. Wind light SW shifting to W.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Less humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light W.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-86, coolest Cape Cod. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the middle 80s to lower 90s.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 24-28)
Dry weather August 24-26 with a brief cool down then a slight warm-up as I believe a cooler trough is being over-forecast by the models. More humid and wetter weather is possible by later in the period and we will have to continue to watch for a possible tropical system being involved or possibly not too far away.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 2)
As with the end of the 6-10 day period we will need to keep an eye on the tropics since it’s impossible this far in advance to know if any storms will be about and what the exact track and timing would be. I throw this caution out due to the pattern being one that could support an East Coast threat. Outside of this expect largely fair and warm weather.

Friday Forecast

6:59AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 18-22)
A warm front crosses the region today and a cold front follows it on Saturday. The warm front will be more active, producing fairly numerous showers and possibly a few thunderstorms from midday into tonight. The cold front will be less active, producing only isolated showers and thunderstorms favoring eastern areas Saturday. High pressure moves back in by Sunday, dominating through Tuesday, with warm to hot, dry weather. At this point the conditions continue to look ideal for viewing Monday’s solar eclipse here, which will be a partial in southern New England with 60-65% of the sun covered.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Episodes of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms, mainly midday and afternoon. Highs 72-77. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Episodes of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Humid. Lows 62-67. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Isolated showers and thunderstorms, favoring eastern areas during the afternoon. Humid. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 77-82 elsewhere. Wind SW up to 10 MPH shifting to W late.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the middle 80s to lower 90s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 23-27)
Showers/thunderstorms possible August 23 with a cold front. Fair, cooler then warming again August 24-26. May turn wet by the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 28-SEPTEMBER 1)
Will have to keep an eye out for possible tropical systems as the pattern could support something near the East Coast, otherwise mainly dry with temperatures near to above normal.

Thursday Forecast

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 17-21)
High pressure controls today’s weather and results in a “top 10” day with sunshine and low humidity and a nice diurnal warm-up after a cool start. A warm front will approach the region Friday with waves of showers arriving during the day and lasting into the nighttime hours, with a humid air mass arriving at night and into Saturday. A cold front will slog across New England during Saturday morning and early afternoon but it looks like conditions will not be all that favorable for anything more than a few isolated showers. High pressure moves back into the region Sunday-Monday with fabulous summer weather, with the early outlook being favorable for sky conditions for the solar eclipse on Monday afternoon, which will be a partial in southern New England with 60-65% of the sun covered. More on this in upcoming posts.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-80 coast, 80-85 interior. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-60 interior, 60-65 coast. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Episodes of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs 72-77. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Episodes of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Humid. Lows 62-67. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight risk of isolated showers. Humid. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 77-82 elsewhere. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 22-26)
Humidity returns August 22-23 with showers/thunderstorms possible August 23. Fair August 24-26 with drier and slightly cooler weather to start then a warm up following it.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 27-31)
Above normal temperatures, below normal precipitation expected overall but watch the tropics again.
