DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 4-8)

High pressure will continue its control over the weather with fair conditions, cool nighttimes and mild daytimes during the next few days. While sunshine is abundant today and Thursday, it will have to share the sky with more clouds on Friday as a southeasterly air flow becomes more established and transports more low level moisture into the region. The setup for the weekend still indicates two low pressure systems that will not interact enough to bring significant wet weather, allowing much of the weekend to be rain-free. Low pressure will pass well southeast to east of New England early in the weekend, while a trough of low pressure moves into the Great Lakes. The system to the west will send a frontal boundary eastward to produce a round of shower activity at some point during the weekend. The current indications are that the window of time for these will be approximately 12 hours between late Saturday night and the middle of Sunday, but will obviously be tweaked as needed as we approach that time.

TODAY: Sunny. Highs 70-77. Dew point in 40s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Ground fog patches possible. Lows 43-50 except milder urban centers. Dew point lower to middle 40s. Wind calm.

THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 71-78. Dew point in 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 53-60. Dew point in 50s. Wind S under 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 72-79, coolest coast. Dew point in 50s. Wind S to SE up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 55-62. Dew point middle to upper 50s. Wind SE under 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 71-78. Dew point rising to lower 60s. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers overnight. Areas of fog. Lows 58-65. Dew point upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers in the morning. Areas of fog early. Highs 70-77. Dew point 60+ in the morning, then falling through 50s. Wind S 5-15 MPH shifting to W.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)

Next week looks quiet with high pressure in control – starting out with near to below normal temperatures followed by a moderating trend.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)

Fairly dry pattern with limited shower chances and temperatures generally around typical values for mid September. Some guidance in medium range has hinted at more moisture from the south later in this period, but only something to monitor, trend-wise, for now.

    1. You as well, Tom. Have a great year, Tom and Julie and all of the educators and students out there!!!!

      My 42nd and last First Day of School as an educator!
      My 59th consecutive First Day of School, going back to September, 1966 when I was a first grader. 🙂

        1. It certainly is. Congratulations!!!!

          I don’t know how you teachers do it????????

          I’d go insane and likely take it out on the students and get fired. 🙂

      2. Congratulations, Captain. Such a wonderful accomplishment. I echo JPD….i don’t know how you do it but am beyond happy we are blessed with dedicated teachers like you and Tom and Julie. I wish you all a very special year

  10. Captain: You and I have something in common as I started first grade in September 1966 also. 🙂

    You must be the same age? 64 (63+) 🙂

  11. The drought map for our area may quickly expand and deepen over the next couple of weeks with the minimal rain fall chances. As much as like fair weather, I like a good soaking too! It’s a good thing it won’t be accompanied by scorching heat.

  12. Thanks, TK.

    I apologize for being MIA.

    I’ve been exceptionally busy since returning to Boston last week. And, I was in recovery mode from a violent episode of norovirus.

    Weather wasn’t a priority, even though it’s always on my mind. Yeah, I’m the guy at parties who will say things like “did you know that 0 ° Fahrenheit was established by Daniel Fahrenheit as the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride?” It’s not exactly a way to break the ice, pardon the pun, or start a conversation with someone. In fact, it usually leads to people finding an excuse to no longer be in my presence, “ah, look at the time, I must get going” or “will you excuse me, I need a drink.”

  13. Another school shooting. Georgia. Two students and two staff were killed. 9 others hospitalized. They have the shooter.

    How many until we act?
