DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 29 – SEPTEMBER 2)

High pressure stretching from Quebec to Atlantic Canada will provide dry, cooler weather today and Friday. As the high shifts more to the southeast, we’ll start to experience some weather changes heading into the holiday weekend. For the final day of August on Saturday we’ll see some cloudiness return, but also some sun, as a warm front lifts through the region. This front can produce a few showers mainly across southern areas Saturday morning, but most areas will not see this activity. The front’s parenting low will track north of our region Saturday night into Sunday, dragging a cold front through. The timing of this front is such that the main shower threat will occur during the first 12 hours of Sunday from west to east, but I can’t rule out a few spot showers ahead of that sometime on Saturday evening. I do think most of Saturday’s daylight hours will be dry well ahead of the cold front, along with Sunday afternoon after the front pushes through. A spike in humidity and a warm-up will occur Saturday, and Sunday will remain on the warm side but with lowering humidity behind the front after a muggy start to the day. Labor Day, another cold front will move through but this one will have very limited moisture to work with and a spot shower chance is a stretch. We’ll probably just see some some passing clouds and a wind shift, and in a symbolic way the feel of autumn later in the day as the sun sets on the closing of the unofficial last weekend of the summer season.

  3. Thanks, TK.

    Glad I grabbed some London weather and sprinkled into the forecast to some degree.

    I have a staggering amount of work to do, but at least I’m doing it under reasonable weather conditions.

  4. I do miss England a lot. Not just the weather. I used to absolutely love coming back to the U.S. It’s why I returned home from the Netherlands many moons ago. But I no longer do. Not feeling at home is a problem. Would not want to live in Holland, by the way. BUT would jump on any opportunity to live in England permanently.

          1. There ya go! The verdict is in. We’ll have a tropical system!

            Why? Well because all 3 major models said so.
            It is cast in stone!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

            We shall see.

  7. This is like in winter all the models showing a sizeable snowstorm days in advance and next run nothing showing up.

    1. EXACTLY. Except the NHC shows some concern. So perhaps a little more reliable than just the models???? Who knows.

      We’ll be watching, that’s for sure.

    1. Correct, but GDPS (Canadian) Still has it full blow while the EUro still has a semblance of it, but very weak. 🙂

  13. Thanks TK.

    Need to keep that storm away next weekend! I am going to be in Orlando next Friday AM to Monday AM.

    Not too concerned about it right now looking at the ensembles. Not a ton of support for it. Operational runs at this lead time are not very useful.

  16. I’m leaving on a cruise on Thursday. Boston – Halifax – Sydney, NS – Charlottetown, PEI – Corner Brook, NFLD. If there’s a tropical, keep it in the Caribbean, Gulf, or Bahamas/Florida.

  17. Can we have Bill back, Im getting sick and tired of the BS sound bites coming from the coaches and players. Focus on playing and getting better in my opionion.

    1. I haven’t been paying a lot of attention but what I have heard is kind of annoying. 😛

      I’m just going to try to enjoy the games for what they are, kind of like the Sox. Always a fan of the teams, even if the moving parts are a little wonky. 😉
