Sunday Forecast Update

8:23AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 1)…
Not a whole lot of change to the previous forecast. A great day today and a decent night to view a total lunar eclipse tonight which begins at 9:07PM and ends at 12:27AM (Monday) with totality beginning at 10:11PM and ending at 11:23PM. This is also being termed a “Super Moon Eclipse” because the moon is as close to the Earth as it gets all year (technical term is Perigee) and will appear slightly larger than average, and also a “blood moon” as the moon will not blacken out of view but appear a darker red during totality. Moisture from the south Monday and a cold front from the west Tuesday to early Wednesday may produce a few shower episodes but not looking for beneficial rainfall.
High pressure presses toward the region from the west Wednesday, with cooler and drier weather into Thursday, but still not sure how much complete clearing there will be as clouds may hang around with the front not far offshore. So far expecting any additional rain to occur over the ocean.
TODAY: Sunshine. Highs around 70. Wind light SE to S.
TONIGHT: Mainly clear with a few high clouds evening then increasing cloudiness overnight. Eclipsed moon will be visible (see above). Lows in the 50s. Wind S up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light showers. Highs in the 70s. Wind S to variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows 45-55. Highs in the 60s.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 2-6)…
Cool and breezy with lots of clouds October 2 but rain should remain offshore. Still may need to watch low pressure offshore October 3-4 but leaning toward a dry scenario for this area over the weekend. Fair and warming up October 5-6.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 7-11)…
Look for showers and mild conditions early in the period, briefly cooler with dry weather returning mid period, then a warming trend later in the period with continued mainly dry weather.

  2. I think we are going to be cold for a while in our household because our electric bill for AC in September up to the 20th was way above average, so I don’t want to spend any money on heat yet. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

  3. Thanks for the update TK.

    Part of a big group today going apple picking. I jokingly told my wife this should have been NEXT Sunday during the Patriots BYE week. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    1. Inquiring minds would like to know your wife’s response 😉

      Have fun. Kids went again yesterday. Honey Pot continues to get too big for its britches. It says or closes at 6:00. It does not say it stops selling bags at 5:00 or in their case 4:45

    2. My Six Flags trip is tentatively planned for Oct 3 or 4. If it lands on Oct 4 that’s pretty good timing for not missing a Pats game. 😉

    1. My brother (lives in a low spot NW of Woods Hill in Woburn) had a touch of frost on the grass in the lowest part of his yard this morning. Surface temp there was about 44 but it can easily drop right to the freezing point right at the ground and it indeed did that briefly.

    1. At the moment I expect it to stay offshore. Can’t 100% write off a greater impact than a cool and gusty wind but so far that’s all I expect.

  8. Good morning. BEAUTIFUL day in progress!!!
    Was out this morning and I couldn’t believe how nice it was.
    Funny, I dropped into a Staples in Dedham. Saw 2 women with Winter coats on
    and another walk into the store with gloves on! Geez, it’s practically a beach day out
    there! Gimmie a break.

    On another note, had a fabulous dinner last evening at the Barker Tavern
    in Scituate. I love that place. Food is simply delicious, the atmosphere off the charts
    and the service impeccable. HIGHLY recommended. 😀

    1. You were on this blog 30 years ago? Just kidding. 😀 It was just the way you worded it that made this possible.

  17. This word press is really annoying me. I press the “post Comment” button and NOTHING happens, so I press it again and still nothing happens, so I press it again
    and again NOTHING happens so I press it yet again. The above is the result.

    Word Press has some “splaining to do”

        1. Can’t refresh screen. That is x’d and it’s spinning it’s wheels. But continually hitting the post WILL result
          in duplicate posts. I guess it has been a shortcoming
          for a long time???

      1. It’ll depend on the frontal position. My usual practice is to lean drier when we have been dry. Persistence works more often than not. I figure if I’m wrong then so be it, besides if I’m wrong it means we get more beneficial rain than I would be expecting.

        1. I’ certainly not making judgments, just sharing the maps.
          These are the first maps I have looked at in about 2 weeks.

          I just can’t get excited looking at boring maps.
          I need something to be happening or pending. 😀

  21. Still looking decent for eclipse viewing tonight. It may be a little less decent near the South Coast but I think more from patchy high/middle clouds than any stratus. I think that stays away but we’ll watch it just in case.

  22. A couple of AccuWeather Trivia Quizzes.

    1. Which city is the sunniest in the US with 90% possible sunshine per year?
    A. Los Angeles
    B. Yuma
    C. Miami
    D. Houston

    2. Why is tonight’s eclipse referred to as a “blood moon?” (Just for fun)
    A. Vampires are most active in an eclipse.
    B. Blood oranges ripen at this time of year.
    C. Objects on earth appear reddish.
    D. The moon takes on a reddish hue.

    Answers later today.

    1. I don’t know first so will guess A

      I know second for certain. Also A….and if anyone doubts me, sit outside to watch the eclipse. 😈

  23. Expected blowout!! #400
    I’ll be going to the NFL HOF in canton in the beginning of November, they have Bellicheck and Brady at the entrance, can’t wait!!! Beautiful evening

  24. I thought the quiz questions were worded clearly for a change. 🙂
    You don’t get that a lot from Accu. 😀

      1. If they are serious about the (just for fun) then yes.

        Everyone knows the serious answer would be D.

    1. Thanksgiving early

      You were brave. They can be nasty

      And guess who’s coming to dinner is one of my favorite movies

    1. The last of the tetrad.

      And tonight is only fifth since 1900. Next 1933

      I feel like a kid at Christmas. I suspect because I get to see at least one grand who is old enough to understand witness it.

          1. 8:11ish but you won’t be able to see the start until 9:07.

            I have always enjoyed and also cannot imagine what man from long ago must have thought

  30. Tk I have a big work day planned for Wed, sunny Wednesday? Please let me know ASAP, thank you in advance. 🙂

  31. Looks like most models are on board for beneficial rain (1″ – 3″ +) the next 7 days but TK is still not buying into it. Let’s see which one caves first 🙂

    1. You haven’t talked to me today yet, so how do you know I’m not buying it? 😛

      I can say this, the models are for it. I’m heading in the wetter direction but I don’t know if this lives up to the potential painted by the computers.

  32. Hazardous weather outlook up for the region
    PERSISTENT NE-WINDS FOR THE PERIOD WITH POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS UP TO
    40 MPH. CONSIDERING FULLY LEAFED TREES…THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY
    FOR WIND DAMAGE WITH DOWNED TREE…TREE LIMBS…AND POWER LINES.
    FOCUS IS MOST ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST COASTAL
    PLAIN OF MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

    LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE LEADING TO FLOODING IMPACTS.
    THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR RAINFALL AMOUNTS UPWARDS OF 4-INCHES.
    LOW CONFIDENCE.
