Monday August 29 2022 Forecast (7:32AM)

28 Comments

Similar to both weekend mornings, a large area of stratus clouds sits mainly over inland locations with a few patchy clouds elsewhere to start the day. A southwesterly air flow developing over the region is pushing this stratus layer to the northeast but as the morning goes on it will erode away and dissipate, and today’s diurnal cloud development will be less than the previous 2 days when we had a northeast breeze Saturday and southeast breeze Sunday. Today’s southwest wind will transport warmer to hotter air into the region and it will feel a little bit more like the middle of summer. But now you’re noticing, that sun angle – not quite as high as it once was. And it’s not setting after 8 p.m. not even after 7:30 pm. anymore but earlier and earlier in the 7:00 p.m. hour. But most areas will see it set today as we’ll have far fewer clouds about during this evening. The high pressure heat pump will be at it again Tuesday which will be a pretty warm to hot and somewhat humid day by late August standards. A cold front approaching the region will not do so quickly enough to send any showers or thunderstorms into the WHW forecast area before the day is over. We’ll see some clouds in the western sky later in the day from this activity to our west, but the remains of it will be all that make it through here overnight. The cold front responsible for it will still be moving through the region Wednesday morning, so the chance of showers or even a brief thunderstorm will still be there mainly for southeastern NH, eastern MA, and RI through about midday. In addition, during the morning a little wave of low pressure moving by Cape Cod may toss a swath of showers up across that region. But Wednesday afternoon, drier air arrives, and while it will be quite a warm day, you’ll notice the dew point going down as the day goes on, once that front goes by. Any additional afternoon showers on Wednesday look like they will be confined to the mountains to our north. So ends August, and September will begin on a dry and slightly cooler note Thursday and Friday as high pressure builds into the region from Canada.

TODAY: Early morning clouds abundant in parts of eastern MA much of central MA, RI, and eastern CT, with more sunshine elsewhere, then sunshine dominant thereafter with just some passing fair weather clouds. Highs 84-91, cooler South Coast. Dew point 60+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear except a few patches of low clouds and ground fog. Lows 64-71, warmest urban areas. Dew point 60s. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 86-93. Dew point 65+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A shower or thunderstorm possible mainly I-95 westward. Patchy fog. Lows 65-72. Dew point 65+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy until midday with a shower or thunderstorm possible I-95 eastward, then sun and passing clouds. Highs 81-88. Dew point falling to 50s. Wind SW shifting to W 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 57-64. Dew point falling toward 50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 76-83. Dew point 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 53-60. Dew point near 50. Wind N up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs 73-80. Dew point 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 3-7)

High pressure will be the dominant force for Labor Day Weekend September 3-5 with warming Saturday and Sunday as high pressure overhead sinks to the south, and then a frontal boundary will come through likely dry and Canadian high pressure will bring slightly cooler air for Monday. Fair weather should continue into late period with another warm-up.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 8-12)

We’ll watch for a frontal boundary crossing with a possible shower around September 9 and possibly some offshore tropical activity later in the period, otherwise high pressure should dominate with mostly dry weather and near to above normal temperatures.

  10. I see 90F at 2:45pm at Logan, but only once. The rounding thing maybe. I think it’s probably not hit 90F officially. Maybe between now and 4pm ????

  11. Since it’s a quiet day….has anyone watched Sue Thomas F.B.Eye. I came across it on prime. I have to rent dove tv for 4.99/mo (I have not rented yet as first two episodes are on prime) to watch the rest. It’s based on a woman who lost her hearing at 18 mos and went into the FBI. The actress has some hearing. She is excellent IMO. I highly recommend

  12. This latest period of heat is not what the doctor ordered (for me, anyway). In a daze again. It’s quite oppressive outside. Body needs a reboot, but it’s faced with the blue screen of heat, sun, and humidity, which renders Ctrl Alt Del impossible to carry out.

  13. I know that it is still early, but early returns from the 3 big models indicate that the next tropical progged to develop will recurve
    to the East well South of New England, perhaps threatening
    Bermuda. We shall see.

    The Euro even has it going poof somewhere East of Florida.

    I keep watching…

  14. According to my Meso West data, Logan topped out at
    89. Currently 88. My guess is NO 90 today. Perhaps tomorrow.

  18. May not have counted technically as a 90F day . But today felt 90ish when I was doing errands mid afternoon. I then biked 5 miles to see a friend late in the day – 5:30pm; figured it wouldn’t be so bad then – and that didn’t matter one iota. Quite hot on the bike. Sweaty, too, as in change your clothes at the end of a 5 mile bike ride (had to do this in a restaurant bathroom). Tonight biking back I felt like I was at the equator. The loud insect noises made it even more tropical. Another change of clothes when I got home. Body can’t handle the humidity, clearly. Maybe I have a sweat overproduction condition.

  19. No 90 for Logan. 89.
    They may just tip 90 tomorrow (NWS forecast is 89 though) and that may be it. I don’t see any runs at 90 after that as far out as I can see.
