Saturday Forecast

5:26PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)
Not going to make a lot of changes to the forecast. Low pressure (formerly Jose) sinks away from New England to the south and eventually becomes absorbed by the circulation of Hurricane Maria off the US Southeast Coast by the middle of the coming week. In the mean time, high pressure will be in control of our weather through Tuesday. An approaching front Wednesday may trigger some showers by that time.
LATE AFTERNOON: Remaining clouds depart Cape Cod, sun sinks in the west elsewhere. Temperatures 60s coast, 70s interior. Light wind.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 68-76 coast, 77-85 interior with a few valley areas 85-90. Wind light variable with light sea breezes coast.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 50-55 interior, 55-60 coast. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 68-76 coast, 77-85 interior with a few valley areas 85-90. Wind light variable with light sea breezes coast.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the lower to middle 70s coast, upper 70s to lower 80s interior.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 2)

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 3-7)

  1. Thanks, TK.

    Philip, my aunt is from Puerto Rico. She taught me Spanish and how to cook delicious PR food. The economy is in rough state. And that was before the hurricane. The island has been in recession for the past decade, and is basically bankrupt, too. It’s not as poor as Cuba, but the inequality between the haves and have-nots is striking. Statehood would probably help PR in terms of securing sufficient federal funding. However, statehood would also likely be a drain on the U.S. mainland’s resources.

    Although I agree with much of what was said in the article about Cuba’s efforts to rebound from Irma, I am a bit skeptical. Cuba rarely reports any negative news to the outside world, or even to its inhabitants. Unlike PR, Cuba is an authoritarian state that keeps a lid on information, including information regarding natural disasters. Cuba’s centrally planned economy and society do, however, allow it to quickly organize relief and rebuilding efforts in ways the PR cannot. Appropriation of funds is immediate. The citizen `brigades’ must heed the call to clean up, otherwise …

      1. I will say it again…interesting article and thanks again Joshua!

        Definitely mixed messages regarding Cuba. They have quickly recovered from Irma and most activities are back to normal, but yet their citizens are saying otherwise. Frankly I am somewhat shocked that Puerto Rico’s economic conditions were kept so quiet for so long and that the U.S. media never noticed. They know the current relationship status of every Hollywood couple (married or not) but are clueless of PRs economy all these years.

        Very sad that it took a devastating hurricane to bring out the truth.

  5. Maria to affect Boston area next week? I’ve got Sox tickets for Thursday and I’m hoping the magic number hits 0 and the rain stays away that night!

    1. We could see some showers around but its more too do with the cold front that interacts with Maria, keeping her out to sea Need to still monitor it though

  6. Tom, there is a FB page called marshfield/brant rock weather watch. I suspect you know about it but there are some amazing videos of the waves in your area. For anyone else who has FB also of course
