BLOG TEST THEME #5: Twenty-Fifteen

This is the 5th of 8 layouts in the test run. Please continue to comment on the layouts as we go along. Don’t hold back, even if you hate it. I didn’t make these up, and some of them I am definitely not a fan of at all. This one, however, may be my favorite so far (close between yesterday’s and today’s).

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 5-9)

The muggies are back. After a very warm to hot but dry day Thursday, the frontal boundary that’s become the relative that won’t go home has shifted its position back to the north, putting our region back into the humid air again, and it will stay this way into Saturday. We had one round of scattered showers and a few thunderstorms around dawn, which is moving out as of the time of this writing. During the day today, clouds should be dominant but some sun is possible as well, and it will be just unstable enough that a few isolated showers and storms may pop up, but I do expect most of the daylight hours to remain rain-free across most of southeastern New England. Tonight, the risk of showers and thunderstorms goes up again. There’s a bit of conflict on different guidance as to where the axis of most frequent and heaviest activity will be, with the majority favoring the I-95 belt southeastward, so I’ll also lean in this direction. Timing is also variable, and will depend on when and where activity develops upstream during the day. This should clear out of the region before dawn Saturday, and then we have one more shot at a shower or thunderstorm along a cold front which will cut through the region from west to east from late morning through mid afternoon. Behind this front, we’ll see a dew point drop as drier air moves in from Canada, but the position of high pressure will turn wind a little more northeasterly and keep coastal areas cooler during Sunday. Colder air aloft will also incite additional cloudiness and perhaps a few showers, especially near a minor convergence zone between northeasterly coastal winds and winds a little more northerly over interior areas. So I’d love to tell you Sunday will be a stellar day, but I cannot. That will wait for Monday, when high pressure, still to the north, will be met with more stable air above and we’ll see wall-to-wall sunshine but continued cooler than average temperatures. It will warm up a little bit as high pressure hangs on Tuesday.

TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Any early showers/thunderstorms moving out. Isolated additional showers/thunderstorms possible, mainly mid afternoon on. Humid. Highs 70-77 South Coast, 78-85 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely mainly after 10PM with greatest chance I-95 southeastward. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Risk of showers and thunderstorms mainly late morning and midday west of I-95 and midday to late afternoon from I-95 southeastward. Humid. Highs 76-83. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Less humid. Lows 55-62. Wind NW up to 10 MPH shifting to NE.

SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of showers. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 inland Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 50-57. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 48-55. Wind N under 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 73-80. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 10-14)

Advancing warmer air and higher humidity means more cloudiness but limited rain chances June 10-11, then a better chance of showers and possible thunderstorms as a frontal system approaches and passes through during June 12-13. It still looks like the main moisture from whatever is left of T.S. Cristobal (expected to move from the Gulf of Mexico into the central US) moves into Canada and misses this area, which is in need of significant rain. Dry weather is expected with lower humidity by the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 15-19)

High pressure dominant in eastern Canada and weak systems in the US indicates a drier and slightly cooler than average pattern for our region for mid June.

  1. There is one thing I highly DISLIKE about this version that I am not sure I can change (probably not). That is, hyphenated words at the end of lines. I’d rather just have it move the word to the next line if it’s not long enough. I’ve never been a fan of hyphenated words for the purpose of writing in as even a right margin area as possible. I despised it in school, and have ever since.

    1. I like but miss the names on the side . It’s great you are doing this but I personally like the Blog the original way how it’s been .

    2. TK – I agree. And they are hyphenated incorrectly at that. Which probably only a Gibbs girl would notice since we had syllabification drilled into us.

      I like this format also. I have to play with it a bit to compare to yesterday’s which was my favorite as of then. I am using my PC now but will switch to my iPad soon and then check on phone. Can you tell that I am enjoying this 😉

      And again – thank you for all you do here. I absolutely support your wish to change things up. And as always – thank you for your excellent forecasts.

  3. Good morning and thank you TK.

    re: Blog format
    I am NOT a fan of this format in the slightest bit. To me, it
    has nothing to offer at all. Yesterday’s was by far the best
    of the lot, imho.

    This format is simply too plain and reminds me of the original format which is even better than this one.

  4. To be honest, I liked the original version in the first place.

    However, I did like yesterday’s format the best. I could live with that one.

    1. I agree Philip I think original works fine . It’s quite humid in the city this morning I’m feeling it working outside

  5. I can deal with any format l really enjoy this blog. I read woods hill before nws discussion.

    1. Now there, Robert, are words of wisdom. The format is fun but this blog is above all others. I never look anywhere but WHW for weather.

  6. I liked yesterday’s better than today’s. This one devotes too much space to the links on the left. I don’t know if that is adjustable. I think that if the replies get nested a few levels, the column will get very narrow.

    1. I do not.

      Imho, yesterday’s format was hands down the best overall format. Today’s sucks in comparison.

      1. I mean really sucks. I have trouble looking at it.
        I know, why don’t I tell you how I really feel.

        2. Hahaha. I figure we all have great input, but ease for TK is top but those who use the site most …you and Mark and Tom and….well we all know…..are important to listen to.

  8. Thanks TK and Happy Friday to all. I love change so will accept any format you choose. I will say that yesterday’s was my favorite so far. Still seeing some showers down here in Halifax.

  10. Thank you, TK.
    I like all the variety and hope you will just throw in a new design for fun sometimes even after you settle into one main design.

    This is my favorite so far–easy to read. Comment button at the end so easy to use.

  11. It is so interesting that we all see the same design so
    differently. I’ll echo what has been said:

    I much prefer yesterday’s format, however, it is the content
    that matters most, therefore I’ll go with whatever is selected. 🙂

  12. Thanks TK. I liked yesterday’s layout the best so far.
    Quick peak at the HRRR for tomorrow it wants to develop a line of showers and thunderstorm mid to late afternoon. Will see if a there is a locally strong thunderstorm should that line materialize. 3km NAM also is in close agreement with the HRRR for tomorrow.

  13. It’s much better viewing this on desktop vs mobile . This looks good on desktop I’m on it now

  15. I second Scott. I’m trying on my phone. There isn’t navigation but it presents very well. To me, this is second to yesterday.

      1. Phone didn’t have navigation. Screen too small. But I still like. It is perfect on my iPad. This is a close second IMO

    1. These will become pretty widespread in the next 4 to 6 weeks.

      Well, the general public needed something else to complain about. Right? 😉

      Kidding, but some people will complain I’m sure!

  22. Dave you crack me up. 🙂 I asked for brutal honest and you have definitely delivered! But I do want to know what people like and really dislike.

    I have felt trapped in “Twenty-Ten” layout forever. It’s TIME to change it. There are other lay-outs which I have not downloaded yet, so the initial 8 may not be the only 8. I’ll choose one and go to it, and there may be more to come not long from now.

    1. Yes, you basically said to not hold back. I tend to say what’s
      on my mind anyway, often to my own detriment.

      2. Yep. I can relate to that. I’ve always done this. But ya know what, folks don’t have to guess what you are thinking or wonder what you are not saying. As Popeye says. I yam what’s I yam and dats all that I am…..or close enough

  23. CPC back to below average temps for 8-14 day, which is in line with my thinking as well.

  24. A forecaster paying attention to detail will forecast more clouds and a potential for showers Sunday. 😉

  25. Putting this here because I think it is So important for kids. So much for us to take in as adults with everything.

    CNN and sesame are hosting a show for kids on racism at 10:00 am tomorrow morning.
