Wednesday Forecast

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)
High pressure will be in control and our weather pattern will be quiet, although the previously mentioned things are still very much valid – the potential patchy frost in normal cold spots Thursday morning, and Humberto passing far offshore by the weekend resulting in larger ocean swells, some rough surf, and increased rip current risk at beaches later this week. With warmer than average temperatures, and few or no life guards at beaches, this becomes more dangerous.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Lots of clouds and limited sun morning, especially eastern MA and southeastern NH, then more sun. Highs 61-68. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Patchy fog interior lower elevations. Spotty light frost possible in normal cold spots mainly central MA and southwestern NH. Lows 35-42 interior low lying spots, 42-47 most areas, 47-52 coastline and urban centers. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 66-73. Wind light variable becoming SE under 10 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Patchy fog in low-lying interior locations. Lows 47-54. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind S up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 50-57. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 73-80. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 53-60. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)
High pressure ridging is expected to be the dominant player, maybe weakening slightly as a couple disturbances moving along the jet stream to the north, then strengthening again. This pattern is dry with only a limited shower risk and temperatures generally above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 2)
A very similar pattern continues, very limited shower risk, mainly dry and warmer than average as high pressure dominates.

  6. Thank you, TK.

    Alex Cora was very honest last night after the 15 inning loss. He was right to point to last night as the Red Sox season in a microcosm. Inconsistency on offense, defense, and pitching. I totally agree, but wish Cora had expressed this frustration a couple of months ago.

    I heard one very interesting side note last night. The San Francisco Giants are 6 games under .500. Yet, they are 14-2 in extra inning games. That kind of record in extra inning games is unheard of. And, more than half their wins – 37 to be exact – are in 1-run games. The Giants are 37-15 in 1-run games. Unbelievable. Usually, when you’re that good in extra innings and 1-run games you’re at least a playoff team. It’s one of the reasons I prefer baseball to the other sports (well, except hockey). It’s unique and unpredictable in so many ways.

      1. Pretty impressive. I was late to the game, but still got to see it
        pass through the island.

        My wife and I have been there 5 times. One of our all time
        favorite destinations. 🙂

        1. I used to go every September for about 8 years. We haven’t been since 2003 but are planning a cruise for next April. Hope they are spared any major damage.

  8. Bermuda’s good. They weather these things nicely. The next one should miss them by more distance.

    Also, don’t go all-in on the warmth just because the Euro touts it. There are some issues with that model. Yes I am leaning toward 2 more ridge cycles in the East meaning generally above normal temperatures through 2 weeks (not every day, but overall), but I’m keeping conservative on the magnitude of the warmth. We’re going to be somewhat vulnerable to set-ups like we have today.

    1. So the 90 degrees for Monday may not come to fruition? I have some friends that are participating in a charity golf tournament and they are not fond of the heat.

            1. If we don’t get 90 degrees on Monday, any more opportunities the rest of this year?

              Not that I want any, just wondering.

              1. We’ve hit 90 in October before, and with a warm pattern in the overall picture I won’t rule it out. It’s fairly unlikely though.

                Any warmth we get is going to be with very low humidity. It’s going to be very dry for a long time.

    2. Tom I also found this. And correction. My friend is not in Sweden but from Sweden. I often ask why for horses and not people and had no idea that one exists.

      There are 35 communities now at critical risk, 40 at high risk, and 128 at moderate risk for the EEE virus in Massachusetts.
