Sunday Forecast

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 25-29)
Another quick update with tweaks. The “interruption” in the nice weather comes today for parts of the region, especially Boston southward, with a batch of low cloudiness coming in this morning and gradually breaking up later. Before that happens we may see some ocean-ffect showers there. This is a piece of marine moisture that’s a little more concentrated than what’s around it, coming into the region on a northeasterly air flow thanks to high pressure centered north of here. But still, overall not really a bad day, just cooler than some would like for late summer while others are enjoying it very much. The air flow remains northeast to east but weakens Monday as high pressure noses closer. While it will still be cooler than average it may feel warmer than today for many locations due to less wind and less cloudiness. It then holds Tuesday with another fair weather day. By Wednesday-Thursday, low pressure passes south of the region and a weak cold front moves toward the region then through from west to east. The front may grab some of the moisture from the passing system to the south and our rain shower chance will go up at that time.
Forecast details…

  4. It’s very warm in the Netherlands, Belgium, and UK. A rather incredible 3 day stretch of days with temperatures around 90F has hit that part of the world. That is very unusual in late August.

    Although I love my second homeland (Holland), there were aspects I could do without. I mentioned radio yesterday, and how atrocious it was and is. Another aspect is overcrowding. We think we have major traffic jams and we do. But, it’s peanuts compared to the Netherlands. You ain’t seen nothing until you’re stuck daily in a 20-40km traffic jam (their traffic reports focus on the actual length of the jam on the radio, TV, and internet). I remember this not so fondly on my daily commutes to The Hague in the early 90s. And, to say that beaches are crowded is an understatement: Thousands of Dutch people, of course, but also thousands of Germans. The Germans love beaches, but have precious few, so they `invade’ Holland in the summer months. Here’s a beach scene from today. It is not pretty.

    1. For # 2 I was going to say Ted and Alice….but then I heard a little ditty and have to say it’s Jack and Diane.

  9. Absolutely spectacular day. As always it was 4 degrees colder in center of town than here.

    Curious thought. My phone told me it was 11 minutes to the church in Sutton center. You might wonder how it knew I was going to church. But am even better question is how did it know I was getting into my car.

    3. I think if Barry was doing the evening show tonight, based on the 12z euro, he might trim that 92F to 87F or so.

  11. Thanks TK
    D as that is known as the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 and A which caused the worst flooding in CT history.

  13. NHC vs Models?
    Yes and no. Yesterday, I would have split down the middle between the no-show models and NHC’s stronger forecast. Today, I believe that NHC has made a good forecast correction, and the models that were designed for tropical systems are in agreement. Dorian strengthens to minimal hurricane in the eastern Caribbean, then weakens and eventually falls apart while traversing the central Caribbean. Will have to watch its remains near the Bahamas eventually. Nothing may come of it, but it’s too early to know that far out.

  14. Thank you, TK!

    Gentleman’s bet on whether in Boston we’ve seen the last 90F plus day in 2019. I’m betting we have seen the last 90F day in 2019, though we’ll certainly have some days in September in the mid to perhaps upper 80s.

        1. Hey it’s possible. We can have a very warm late summer pattern and still not hit 90. I don’t think we’ll ever see a September like 1983 again….

    1. Thank you, Vicki! Very interesting. I’ve always thought that there must have been some doubts among the Pilgrims about why they were settling here of all places. I believe weather was one of the things that really must have bothered some of them. Of course, they kept it to themselves, for fear of the wrath of God. But, my guess is the lack of arable land in New England, the heat and humidity, cold, and then of course this hurricane, must have been brutal for many.

  16. One thing I noticed last night on TV was that the mets posted graphics with how many days there are until fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and winter. While I am a fan of the holiday season and winter, I found this a bit baffling. Surely, letting viewers know we’re approaching fall makes sense. And maybe (just maybe) talking about the fact that Halloween is `only’ 65 days away. But beyond that is sort of meaningless, at least from a weather standpoint.

    1. Just remember that the TV news has taken on a role of entertainment as well as information, so all of that stuff is just normal. But I actually kind of like that they do it, to be honest. 🙂 If people want to overreact to that info, it’s up to them. 😉

      1. I can hear about the holidays at any time of year, including the day after. It is all positive so what’s not to like in a world that has become so sadly negative.

        1. I don’t mind hearing about it either. How much I immerse myself in it is up to me. I can control that. 🙂
