Saturday Forecast Update

79 Comments

11:29AM

Some Atlantic moisture in both lower levels as well as indirectly in higher levels will be responsible for some additional cloudiness at times this weekend but the weekend overall will be not bad, and will remain rain-free.

Monday looks brighter. Tuesday continues to be the day that features a shower and thunderstorm threat as a cold front moves in. A brief shot of cooler air will likely follow this front (reminding you that Fall is not far away) but then Summer will remind you it is still in command as it warms up late in the week and possibly heats up for Labor Day Weekend (more on this tomorrow).

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

TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY: Variably cloudy but including some sunshine during the day. Patchy fog at night. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the 70s coast to 80-85 inland. Wind variable but often E to SE 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 62. High 84.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Low 66. High 82.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 59. High 77.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Low 55. High 82.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 62. High 86.

    2. That is sad. And I agree with you, Vicki, it is a sad day for his family, friends and our country.

      I remember when we landed on the moon. I had hoped that would be the beginning of a lot of new adventures and discoveries made for our world. I thought by now we would have colonized the moon – landed on Mars. Oh, well. Guess I will just have to stick to reading my sci-fi books!

  5. i had an awsome week at band camp,made so many new freinds and still hung out with 3 others that i have known from high school as well. My friend liston facebook was attacked by 15 girls in a 2 hour period on wednesday and then some of the higher classmen have sent me requests.. I have no problem with it. 😀

        1. Ahhhh. South side Framingham. Nasty area where it was. I won’t even drive over that way any more. Tx John

            1. We do leave Sat. Younger daughter and family went home yesterday and older daughter and family arrived. Son in Vt but will be here for a bit tonight.

  8. Isaac holding together despite a not perfect upper level environment and fairly close proximity to Cuba. Not a good sign as, in reading the NHC discussions, the upper level environment is forecast to be extremely favorable in the Gulf of Mexico.

  9. You got New Orleans in that cone of uncertainty with a forecasted category 2 storm and another thing that could impact all of us is on the gas prices with some many oil rigs in that part of the Gulf.

  10. Here’s a testament to Isaac’s large windfield…as the center is still a 100 + miles southeast of the Florida Keys….

    8 am obs

    Miami : NE at 22 gusting to 38
    Homestead : NE at 32 gusting to 44
    Marathon Key : NE at 24 gusting to 35

  11. Thoughts on Isaac:

    New Orleans sees almost no impact. Landfall will take place on the FL Panhandle with Isaac a disorganized weak category 1 hurricane or strong tropical storm.

    1. Emily we hadn’t had any in Framingham so far this summer and my kids went home after a week away yesterday and said they are horrible this is when I start wishing for the first couple of killing frosts. They carry too many diseases this year

    2. They said do not let your guard down as we head towards september. I predict september will be warmer than august. There already talking a warm start. I also beliive the first snow will be by third week of december. Be prepared for a long winter this year. This could be a record high year for those who heat with oil like myself. Also there was not good news this past week on those who heat with gas, l missed that one, somthing about the gas lines. So l think we see a repeat of last fall, warm, but know snow. Than we get cold and snowy mid december.of course l base this on my gut feeling.

      1. i hope you are right john. let september be warm let summer weather continue so durring the weekends i can still go to the beach 🙂

    3. Your best bet is to hope for an early freeze, which of course can happen any year, even a warmer than normal one.

  14. Models keep moving Issac further west and more intense. Most guidance has it somewhere near New Orleans by tues night. Said even though not as strong as Katrina, the direction it would come in at could make it worse…

    I pray this will not be the case but up till now, things seem eerily similar

  15. the models have been hinting in a further westerly track but i think a middle case senario will take shape and it will hit some where in mississippi coastline to just east of new orleans

  16. 12z EURO showing a 955MB hurricane blasting the Florida panhandle. The NAM and GFS are much weaker, although are different in speed.

  17. I’m not on board the train to New Orleans at this time.

    Just a bit of news I want to share because it’s exciting!

    Today is my son’s 13th birthday. I am in contact periodically with Trammell Starks, the composer of 40 of the songs that TWC has used for its local forecast, especially on Weather Scan. These songs are on a 3-CD set available for purchase. Mr. Starks is sending the set to my son for a birthday present.

    I was floored when he told me he wanted to do this. 🙂

    1. Wow. What a gift and what a treasure. Not to mention that it clearly indicated how much mr Starks thinks of you TK

      1. Very cool. Those are really good and I hear them often. I like Weatherscan. It is the place I go for a quick look at the radar whenever needed.

    1. For sure !! Its been consistent on the GFS for a few days now, but has been all over the place depending on what the GFS thinks the general flow is going to be.

  20. Back to work tomorrow 🙂

    Think the next recon plane will find a strengthening system, maybe pressures in the mid to high 980s and encounter some stronger winds closer to the center.

      1. Thanks John. I’m ready, I’ve been lucky to have a lot of time this summer with my family and travel, while camping. But, its time for the challenge of a new school year !

    5. Enjoy the school year Tom. My son starts first grade in Plymouth next week. We are on vacation and hitting a Captain John Whale Watch tomorrow and hoping for a smaller crowd since a lot of neighboring towns are starting back this week. 🙂

  21. I think New Orleans is gonna get the right side of hurricane which is alot of trouble for them, I think landfall will be somewhere between Baton Rouge and Mobile Alabama

    1. Tx coastal. Husbands brother and family live outside of San francisco. Their daughter is in college south of LA and I’m
      Guessing she’s there now

  23. It must be near the one year mark to Irene, because, in Marshfield, the only two days cancelled last year were Monday’s teacher meetings day and the first day of school on Tuesday. Then, the rest of the school year, I dont think we came even remotely close to a debatable snowday.

    1. One year ago today day wise but not date wise. Did dates push forward 2 days thus year. If so tues will be anniversary

  24. The Week Ahead will be done a bit later.

    Preview:
    It’s an easy one. Dry every day except Tuesday which carries a shower and thunderstorm threat. Warm start to week, muggy Tuesday, brief cool-down Wednesday, heat builds toward the holiday weekend.

  25. The HWRF and GHM, both hurricane models are showing a major hurricane forming, although I’m not sure how accurate they are.

  28. Hey AceMaster… A major hurricane is cateogory 3 or higher. I don’t see a major hurricane here with Issac but because of the size a lot of places in Florida and the Gulf Coast are going to see impacts from wind, heavy amounts of rain, flooding, and the threat of isolated tornadoes.

    1. alot of coastal flooding is possible with this storm along with regular flooding due to rain. the winds will kick up the swells to the east of the system.

    1. The weather channel agrees with that too JJ. They said they haven’t seen much change with the reports coming from the plane that is currently out there.
