Tuesday Forecast

36 Comments

7:24AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)
High pressure hangs on into Wednesday with fair and warm weather. A cold front will cross the region Wednesday night and early Thursday while Hurricane Maria takes a right turn far to the south of New England. Current thinking is there won’t be a real link-up of moisture from the hurricane with the cold front until it’s just offshore, so expecting only limited shower activity with the frontal passage. Behind, this front, a cool-down occurs later in the week. An additional disturbance may bring a few showers to the region Saturday.
TODAY: Low clouds and areas of fog early morning in some locations burning off to sunshine which will be filtered through high clouds. Highs 75-82 coast, 83-88 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Low clouds and areas of fog return to many locations. Lows 57-64. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Low clouds and areas of fog early to mid morning in some locations burning off to a mix of sun and clouds. Highs 74-81 coast, 82-87 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Isolated showers overnight. Lows 62-67. Wind light S to SW.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy early morning with isolated showers mainly eastern MA and RI and a quick period of rain possible Cape Cod, then mostly sunny mid morning on. Highs 72-77. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 1-5)
High pressure is likely to be in control with generally dry weather and above normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 6-10)
This period will likely see a warm/dry pattern continue to start out, and then rain chances may increase later.

  4. Thanks, TK.

    Sun really came out bright awhile ago in Sudbury. Summer lingers on. Still noticing that some trees are still bright green. Usually the green leaves start to look tired in late Aug.

    I am giving a personal prediction for the coming winter. I don’t think we had one tornado watch (maybe a warning or 2 in Berkshires) or many severe storms this past summer. I bet we pay for it with lots and lots of snow. Just guessing! 🙂

    3. Until the second half of next week when we may set a few heat records while the West builds a nice early snow pack. 😉

        1. I guess Mother Nature is making up for the heat we really didn’t have much of in August. I still say these temps didn’t occur back in my school days…at least not so pronounced. 🙁

          I would hate to have to wait until Thanksgiving just for fall temps…global warming at its worst?

          1. Agreed, Philip and Sue.

            My wishes were granted for a summer without a lot of heat and humidity. For this I’m grateful. But, my hopes for autumnal weather have thus far not been met, though this weekend should look and feel like fall. I do hope next week’s `heat’ is not as sticky as this week’s. I used to love the heat and humidity as a kid. I guess age has caught up with me, and my sweat glands, too. I can’t cool off like I used to.

            Thank you, TK, for your forecast.

          2. Philip, I agree also with regard to consistent warmth back in our day. Summer clothes went away…no exceptions….on Labor Day. Halloween is now just costume. Back when I was a kid and even my kids were young, costumes had to be large enough to fit over heavy jackets. Mittens, gloves, etc. Yes, there were exceptions.

            1. I guess my memory is different, because I certainly remember rather warm fall weather from time to time. Oh well.

              2. I remember some very mild to warm late autumn days during my walking home from school years (1973-1985).

                1. Me too. I also remember a. very warm Christmas. Was it 1964? There are always exceptions that prove rhe rule ❄️❄️❄️

          3. No, it’s just a warm pattern actually. September 1983’s ridge was far more persistent and far more intense.

  6. Its 65.6F at the summit of Mt Washington and 86.6F at the base of the road (which is 1,600 ft above sea level) !!!!!!!

    Locally, the dewpoints have climbed to within a 1F or 2F of 70F.

    1. Notice good ole Logan sitting at 75. HUH!!! Go 1 mile inland from Logan
      and it is a DIFFERENT STORY!!!

      I HATE THAT BOSTON HAS IT’S RECORDS AT THAT ARMPIT OF A LOCATION!*(@#&*(!&#*(&*(@#&!(#

    2. Nice map !

      In some sense, I wonder if the extra humidity today is generating from Maria’s outflow. I say that because some of the high cloudiness is from the hurricane and Id think it might be symbolic of extra moisture being added to the column.

    3. Still nothing like some of the 1983 days. This is pretty good for this late though, and we do it again next week for a day or 2.

  8. Maybe this might help cool everyone else …

    A northernmost island of Nunavut in far northern Canada (80+ N Latitude) is reporting a current temperature of :

    3F.

  9. I like fall more than spring, with leaf peeking , apple picking, hiking, etc, but I could do with summer weather for a little bit, as long as winter shows up 🙂

      1. Maybe 3 flips…

        Warm/dry to cool/wet, then cool/wet to cold/snowy, then cold/snowy to seasonable/dry.

        The keys: MJO & ENSO.

          1. Me too, but I’m just not sure when it goes there yet. The tendency lately is for ENSO to react more slowly than forecasts indicate.
