Autumn Tease Then Summer Breeze

High pressure will dominate the weather through the week, into the weekend. Does it last all the way through the weekend? That will depend on the eastward advancement of a trough to the west. Right now, feeling optimistic that shower activity will be held back. The feel of Fall will continue through early Wednesday, followed by a significant warm up from mid into late week.

Updated forecast for eastern MA, southern NH, & RI…

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-70. Wind N 5-15 MPH diminishing to under 10 MPH with sea breezes in the afternoon.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 45-55, coolest inland valleys, mildest urban centers. Wind light variable.

  2. Thanks TK !

    9/11….11 years……

    St John, Newfoundland is reporting a SE wind at 33 mph, gusting to 49 mph. Looks like Leslie is going to travel through the central part of Newfoundland the next couple of hours.

    The long range GFS is very amplified. General idea is a huge ridge – trof – ridge, with a ridge extending way up into Alaska, a big trof somewhere in central US and a ridge over the western Atlantic. Thats a long term watcher for how that verifies………I’d think that would be quite the interesting winter weather pattern for the US ( not necessarily saying New England itself ).

  3. Can’t believe it’s been 11 years….seems so surreal now. Let us never forget that terrifying day and remember all who lost their lives and all who live with the memories.

    On a weather note, I noticed toward the end of yesterday’s GFS runs the first snows of the season in the Rockies along with that magical blue line on our doorstep just to the north. Btw, TK, love the title, sounds like it should be an Earth Wind & Fire song…

    1. Thanks, AceMaster for the pitch and putt suggestions! We will look into that. Don’t know if they are still open, but if we don’t get to them this season, definitely nxt. year!

  5. I can’t believe it has been 11 years either since that horrific day that will live with all of us forever. I wish that just a little of the unity we felt as a nation would live with us on more than just one day a year. What a wonderful tribute it would be to those who lost there lives 11 years ago this morning.

    And now climbing off my soap box.

    It is a picture perfect morning. Not a cloud in the sky. Temp 52 at the moment. Got to 47.9 in the night. Haven’t checked the DP – feels like zero :))

  6. Thanks, Tk. And I love the title you gave, too. You are a poet and you don’t know it! 🙂

    I also agree with Vicki. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could feel that unity every day of the year. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost loved ones on that tragic day.

    Weather-wise – beautiful morning! Days are getting noticeably shorter. I notice it both morning and evening. No more 8:00 sunshine ’til nxt. spring. I do miss that, but on to Fall.

  7. That sept 11th tower that they built is just beautiful, it’s to bad Boston can’t get a beauty like that, there talking about how beautiful the new tower is 🙂

  8. See I disagree with the title cause 75-80 degrees is not summer to me, that to me is early fall, summer is 85+ degrees high sun angle, no cool nights, I’ll take this weather this week all day long, fall continues 🙂

    1. I seem to remember the average daytime Boston July temp is in the low 80s and the average night temp is somewhere in the 60s

        1. Charlie I’m thinking fall by July 21 and winter by October 21 🙂 I was commenting on your 85 meaning summer. I guess it’s all relative since I think of the temps TK posted are perfect summer temps. All is well thank you and hope all is well with you too!

        2. I agree. But I think the majority of people try to hold onto Summer versus holding onto Fall. It’s really just perception of the whole thing. You love Fall, so you think of now as Fall.

          1. I think you are right about the majority. I am always anticipating……..as my mom said “anticipation is half the joy” So I love to think about not only what is here but what is coming. And to be very honest, there is never a time I am not counting down to Christmas!!

          1. September to me on what season it feels like is about the dewpoints. The sun has kind of lost enough strength to crank up the actual air temperature, but the warm ocean can deliver some of the most humid conditions of the “warm season”. Look at last weekend, specifically Fri and Sat, 9/7 and 9/8, that humidity was pure summer. And then this morning, serious fall.

            1. Charlie. Hence the blog title. Autumn tease – that’s now – then summer breeze. 82 will not feel like fall. But its a love late summer temp

            2. I think yesterday looked and fealt like fall, this evening as it cools off quickly, feels like fall…..but for a few hrs tomorrow afternoon and a good part of Thurs and Fri, I dont think that will be fall weather. Its kind of a hybrid season, a mixture of early fall and late summer, sometimes during the same day….or a mixture of early fall and late summer days within a week.

  9. Thanks TK.
    Remembering the lives lost 11 years ago today. It was my senior of high school and I along with some of my classmates were coming out of a meeting with the guidance department and saw one the tv in the cafe the twin towers with smoke coming out of them. I could not believe what I was looking at as it looked like something out of a movie. The small silver lining was that if this happened an hour later more people would have been in the building and the death toll could have been a whole lot worse.
    Back to weather which is quiet but looks like summer will make a comeback which is not surprising since as I always say winter and summer never go quietly.

    1. JJ – my kids were also in high school. They saw only clips of it while in a few classes and I still remember how pale they looked when they walked in the door after class.

      My husbands cousin’s son worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. It lost the most people of any company in the towers. He had planned an entire year earlier to go on a fishing trip with some friends that day. It took him years before he stopped feeling guilt that so many friends were lost and he wasn’t there. I think you are right that if it had been later – and if others hadn’t miraculously not been at work – even more would have been lost.

    1. It was, JJ. Floors 101-105 of One world trade I believe. The company lost more than any other occupant in the trade centers and more than NY FD and PD.

  12. anyone remember the weather on 9/11? it was just like today ,cool morning with sun with a slight warm up in the afternoon.

    2. Very vivid memory of the weather that day. We were in a long stretch of very nice weather. We had a fairly warm and dry end of Summer through early Winter that season. On December 1 2001, high temps reached the upper 70s.

        1. Only snow I remember that winter was the Pats vs. Raiders playoff game in the snow. The game that started it all for the Pats

            1. If I remember right, it was one of those “surprise events” where it starts snowing, only supposed to be a dusting to an inch, maybe 2, and before u know it, its snowing steadily and theres 6 inches on the ground

              2. Can’t recall completely, but it’s possible. That type of setup would be an easy snowfall bust, if relying on guidance that under-predicted the precipitation by even a few tenths of an inch could have resulted in 5 or 6 more inches of snow than might have been expected.

                1. I remember that game very well. My boss gave me tickets to the game. A night we will never forget. We pulled in and looked up at the lights and it did not start snowing yet. By the time we setup the grill and chairs you could see one snow flake. A few seconds later we saw
                  another then another. Before we new it we had a dusting of snow.

                2. Boston snowfall 2001-2002 = 15.1″

                  It was pretty much just as pitiful a winter season as this past one (9.3″) 🙁

                3. Also not to forget the Pats Super Bowl parade later that February. It was probably the coldest day of that winter. I should know…I was there and Bob Kraft raised the SB Trophy up right in front of me. 🙂

  13. It all changed when Kraft bought the team in 94, since then it’s been the best franchise in sports, Go Patriots!!

  14. Hi, all. I thought of you earlier when I was reading this blog about the weather similarities of 9/11/01 and today, 9/11/12.

    http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/post/911-weather-2012-conditions-closely-resemble-2001/2012/09/11/7b2651e4-fc1b-11e1-8adc-499661afe377_blog.html

    What a tragedy that day was. And yet a triumph in some ways, too. A triumph of the American spirit. I think the majority of our country has forgotten the camaraderie and patriotic spirit that ensued after the attack… I so wish people wouldn’t take our freedoms for granted. We have so much wonderful opportunity here!

  15. Taunton, 43F….however higher elevated Worcester and Blue Hill are 55F and Mt Washington summit has warmed to 43F.

    6am and only a little bit of light to be seen. I think today’s sun angle and amt of daylight possible equate to late March (29th) ?
