  1. Thanks tk, it’s nice to have a mix of early fall and late summer weather before fall eventually wins out, I’ve even noticed a slight redness on some of the leaves in Uxbridge on my last visit there

    1. It’s funny you said that Charlie–I was JUST thinking that today when I stepped on a crunchy leaf (my favorite part of fall). 😀

  2. TK – The TV mets don’t have temps for Sunday anywhere near yours (88). They are still in the very low 80s with still no serious humidity. 🙂

    Will the TV mets catch up with you eventually (unfortunately) and start calling for higher temps and humidity for late weekend and beyond? 😉

  3. I would like to thank you tk for this blog and your hard work, what do u want the blog to become down the road?

    1. The blog itself will probably always be basically similar to this, but it is the foundation and launching pad for bigger things for WHW. 🙂

      1. Who knows–maybe you can work from home someday, and make money with a few ads here and there on here. I hope for the best for you and this blog. You definitely have the ability to do anything you set your mind to. And you know that we are all here to support you every step of the way! 😀 And so far you’ve been doing a great job providing information to the public, and to your fellow bloggers here. The language you use on each of your posts is easily assessable and you are very honest and straight forward with your forecasts and responses to people’s questions. It’s no wonder why so many people come to you and rely on you (not just on here, but on other social media outlets and in your personal life). And I’m not just saying this as one of your best friends. I’m saying this as a reader that has a profound respect for the work you do and the effort you put into educating people, and excelling in something that you love. I can’t wait to see where you’ll end up. 🙂

  5. CPC now has above normal temperatures for both 6-10 & 8-14 day outlooks. That CAN’T be! So many people said we were done with hot weather a few weeks ago when Summer was about HALF OVER. Oh NO. Whatever shall we DO if this comes TRUE!?

    😛

    1. Say it ain’t so……there’s not only a potential but we might actually use the other P word……probable.

  6. Somewhat of a tropical formation in the western carribean. I actually give this one somewhat of a chance to become a little stronger, though not necessarily a hurricane.

  11. The Lawns are beginning the recovery around 2 weeks ahead of schedule due to these cooler nights in the 50’s

    1. I think it has more to do with the fact we have had above normal rain for the summer and are now about 4 inches ahead of normal for the year to date. The cool nights don’t really trigger lawn recovery. They never really started to suffer to begin with so they don’t really have any recovering to do. 🙂

  13. Haha, the cooler nights have everything to do with it tk as we have already begun some nice dew on the morning lawns, the rain just helps 🙂 lol

    1. Yes. There will be a swath well NW, then with a developing low pressure wave we may wrap up quite a tight area of moderate to heavy rain somewhere in SE MA. May be a shadow zone between.

      1. BB says models show the Cape catching the brunt of today’s rain BUT he’s not exactly a believer…feeling that Boston might get 0.5 to 1.0″ or even a little more.

  16. Btw, I am still amazed at HOW quiet the Tropics remain.

    Long range computer models are NOT picking up much of anything going out up to
    16 days. All experts continue to say that will change. NOT YET. 😀

  17. The hazardous weather outlook mentions the possiblity of a weak isolated brief tornado. This statement came out just after 9pm this morning.
    Threat Level Index
    Flooding – Low
    Wind – Low
    Hail – Very Low
    Tornado – Low. I did have that at very low yesterday.

    1. From NWS office at Upton, NY:

      EXPECT SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL VEERING WIND PROFILES AHEAD OF THE LOW TRACK AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT WHICH COULD LEAD TO ROTATING STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
      STRONG WINDS AND POSSIBLY A BRIEF TORNADO…

      Not to scare anyone, but this is for areas SOUTH of the Boston area.

      See my previous SPC map.

  18. Got to keep an eye on the warm front today and any convection that develops near that warm front. There was a tornado warning earlier this morning in the Baltimore area.

    1. Or keep an eye on the radar images. Nothing cooking in our area right now.
      NOT even much lightning.

      Still early though.

      Frankly, I’m not expecting anything even remotely resembling severe.
      Perhaps an inch or so of rain at best. 😀

      1. The lightning and severe weather including a new tornado warning are in southern part of NJ. This looks to continue
        east and hopefully stay over the fish and all we get is a general rainfall.

  19. I am biased due to being on vacation in the White Mountains next week, but after today I see beautiful days through next week!! Great stretch of weather coming up!

    1. Beautiful area — enjoy Hadi!! Do I have you confused with someone else or didn’t you just head up that way to Story Land??? I seem to remember Coastal was there too.

    1. hmmmmm getting old isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure are a lot of people heading that way this summer and I can see why. Enjoy, Hadi!!

    1. I doubt boston gets any heavy rain at all. Tk said yesterday most staying dry in eastern mass. A light rain at that would surprise me.

  24. Lots of rain? BB said most rain will miss most of the area. It’s ending up north or south of the region.

  26. Thanks, TK.

    Well, it sure looks like most of the rain is over in MA – but, hey, not so fast. Out in Western and Central NY there are 1 or 2 lines of showers and storms w/or just ahead of the front. Whether they make it this far is hard to tell. NWS says that if any sun breaks through there is the possibility of some storms. But, we shall see. Sure feels muggy out.

    1. Very interesting indeed. Based on some of the NWS forecasts, makes
      a certain amount of sense, doesn’t it.

      Doesn’t mean global warming does not exist. Just makes sense to make
      sure we have sound data.

      1. Yep but the last individuals I want involved are politicians. Esp one of the two parties….or is it two of the three parties

        Oops just saw where the article originated. Faux is one of my very fav sources 😆

    2. This topic has been talked about in the past and pointed out by many well respected meteorologists / scientists. It is absolutely true. When the budget cuts hit a few decades ago and weather stations became heavily automated, the locations were poorly chosen in many cases. It was funny how the temperature records showed a sudden spike when this occurred. Hmmm.

  29. We dodged the bullet today in terms of heavy rainfall and wind damage that the folks in parts of southeastern PA and southern NJ dealt with. I was so happy to see that area track east over the fish.

    1. I don’t mind as summer continues. We have had s string of spectacular weather. Tonight is incredible

  33. About time for some disturbances to come off the coast of Africa. I think the Atlantic air is still dry enough though to stall any development.
