DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 6-10)

High pressure builds in today, centered north of our area, providing nice weather and air a little cooler and less humid than what we saw yesterday. A frontal boundary to the south will develop a wave of low pressure along it that will bring cloudiness and the risk of some shower activity on Friday, which may persist into Saturday before high pressure regains control and brings drier weather back later Saturday through Sunday as it pushes to the south, then continues drifting southward far enough to allow a southwesterly flow and some heat and humidity back by Monday…

TODAY: Partly cloudy morning. Mostly sunny afternoon. Highs 80-87 except cooling back to the upper 70s some coastal areas. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with developing coastal sea breezes.

TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 60-67. WindSE-E under 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers, mainly midday and afternoon. Highs 76-83, coolest coast. Wind E-SE up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Lows 61-68. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Highs 76-83, coolest coast. Wind E-NE up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 60-67. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-87, cooler some coastal areas. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 62-69. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny. Humid. Highs 85-92. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 11-15)

Hot and humid with a risk of a few afternoon thunderstorms on August 11 with high pressure centered off the East Coast. Warm and humid with scattered showers/thunderstorms August 12 as the high remains offshore and a cold front approaches. Front passes through the region August 13 with a humid start and a risk of showers followed by a drier finish. Cooler/drier August 14-15.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 16-20)

High pressure builds across the region then sinks to the south. This is a mainly dry pattern, starting with seasonable temperatures which then warm to above normal.

  4. Thanks, Vicki!
    Has anyone else noticed an unusual level of bird and squirrel activity this morning?

    2. We don’t have squirrels but no on the birds. Although, here they are always active.

      Wonderful to see a new family member!!!!

  5. Good morning and thank you TK

    Welcome Jean. You have come to the right place for the most informative weather forecast and information you could
    ever find.

    Regarding birds. In my neighborhood, they have been going nuts all Summer long. They are so loud that one time during
    an office Zoom Meeting, our Executive Director asked me
    to mute my mic because the birds were disrupting the meeting.
    As for squirrels, we’re squirrel central. They are out of control. I have spent thousands of dollars on squirrel repairs.

    1. My equipment is reading 57. Logan 51 dp

      When I install the radiation shield, I am going to do a factory
      reset and see what I get. Hopefully more accurate readings.

  7. Thank you, TK!

    Lower dewpoints are a blessing, albeit short-lived.

    Still no signs of autumnal change on the long range, even in Northern New England.

    Welcome, Jean!

    It’s taken a while, but daily snow showers and at times steadier snow have finally arrived at Hotham, Australia. Looks like some of the lower elevations in Victoria also got in on the snow action. Too bad the resort is closed due to Covid-19.

  9. Welcome to the blog Jean! Don’t be a stranger. Feel free to post anytime.

    Just curious. What part of SNE are you from? 🙂

    1. And as for squirrels they seem to be active during all seasons. I don’t like them very much myself.

    2. Feast somewhere, famine someplace else, or almost everywhere else. Tropical cyclone activity continues to run at only 60% of normal worldwide through August 5 with the Pacific having one of the quietest years on record and the second latest start to their season on record for the West Pacific.

      I will also reiterate the other significant statistical anomaly this year and that is July carrying the second fewest amount of tornadoes on record in the US, behind #1 ranked 1985. So despite the “activity” there is also a lot of “quiet”.

      1. agreed, we also have had alot of weak tropical cyclones in the Atlantic. There is a part of me that is questioning how the solar cycle is gonna impact the season as we head into September

        1. I’m very curious as to what happens when we come out of the “quieter period” that I believe we seen for the next 10 to 14 days. That still leaves us a lot of season to go.

          1. Signs are very much pointing to a very active second half of August with the K-Wave orientations and MJO predictions but also very curious about what happens with the SAL that has been very persistant.

              1. But there are also instances where the “peak” part of the season can be quiet. The peak is determined by long term averages.
