DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 30 – SEPTEMBER 3)

High pressure in southeastern Canada provides a relatively cool easterly air flow but nice weather today. The high pushes to the southeast and a warm front crosses the region Saturday with more clouds, perhaps an early-day shower in a few locations, a return to higher humidity, and a slight warm up. A cold front will cross the region early Sunday with a shower threat from this front beginning Saturday evening, but mostly during the first 12 hours of Sunday. Beyond that, high pressure builds in and provides fair weather for the remainder of the holiday weekend as well as Tuesday.

TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 68-75. Dew 50s. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy ground fog. Lows 55-62. Dew point in 50s. Wind variable to SE under 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Partly sunny. A shower possible mainly south of I-90 morning. Highs 75-82. Dew point rising to 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A possible shower in the evening. Showers and possible thunderstorms overnight. Patchy fog overnight. Lows 62-69. Dew point 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Lots of clouds with showers ending west to east in the morning. Sun/cloud mix thereafter. Highs 71-78. Dew point falls below 60. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 52-59. Dew point near 50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

  3. 56 earlier this morning. Now up to 65 already.

    Ocean temp: 66.7 (Boston Buoy)

    Ocean temp still holding it’s own. but I think we are at or just beyond peak water temp. I claimed it’s demise a week ago, perhaps a week or so prematurely. 🙂 🙂

    1. Typical GFS tropical forecast consistency…

      From a hurricane yesterday over Florida for next weekend to no storm at all to a landfalling hurricane in Texas the following Wednesday. And now it’s back to the Florida panhandle with 12z.

      Right…and I’m John Hope!

      Not surprised to see the operationals completely lost on the storm next week (if there is development at all). There is no strong signal on any of the ensembles.

  13. I will not use the GFS to forecast tropical cyclones.

    1. I think that cartoon of Homer Simpson writing that over and over on the chalkboard was actually the NAM, but could certainly be doctored to say the GFS as well 🙂

  15. I have a Bart tie where he is writing, “The boys’ room is not a water park” on the backboard. Not surprisingly, I have actually had to say that more than once in my teaching career. 🙂

  16. Middleborough has been at the high level for EEE for the past couple of weeks. The town’s Little League championship, scheduled for 7 pm on Wednesday, was postponed to yesterday at 4 pm. The town is closing all sports fields at dusk. MHS is scheduled to kick off the football season Thursday at 7 pm at home. I would bet that that game will also be moved up to 4 pm as well.

    Middleborough has had a very tragic history with EEE. In 2006, a 9-year old boy was bitten by mosquito at football practice and died two days later. One of my former student’s dad passed several years ago as the result of EEE.

  17. Wouldn’t it be nice if the CFS is correct for once, Winter would actually be winter to bad its only August 30th.

  18. I like Dominic Brown, who we have seen doing the evening weather on NBC 10 while Petey B takes a break. He has a presentation that makes sense and is easy to follow.
