2:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)
This particular update does not offer too much different from the last one as the overall outlook is the same and not a whole lot more detail is known regarding upcoming events, namely the passage of Jose. Still looking for an early-week approach and turn to the right of a transitioning system, which spares a direct hit but involves part of the region in the enveloped of wind and some rain, again favoring southeastern locations. And don’t forget about the coastal flooding and splash-over threat at high tide times Tuesday and Wednesday.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy with areas of fog early, then partly sunny. Highs 68-73 coast, 74-79 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-66. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms especially afternoon and night. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially at night and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms, favoring the morning. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially early and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)
Expecting a fairly dry and warm pattern at least through the middle of the period. May have to once again watch for a tropical system to be at least nearby later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 1)
With a continued active tropical pattern this may be an issue again for a portion of this period but otherwise the pattern supports a lack of rain and above normal temperatures.

10:56AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)
We’re in a little bit of a weather “no-man’s land” today as the final remains of Irma depart and a washed-out old front sits over the region, while weak high pressure, and I mean very weak high pressure, tries to build in. The result has been lots of low clouds and areas of fog forming overnight and persisting much of the morning, though there have been breaks in the clouds in some areas. These breaks will gain more control during midday and afternoon but this process will likely repeat again tonight and tomorrow, and to some extent even Monday. The main attention is now on Hurricane Jose, which will be tracking northward toward New England by early in the week. A hurricane coming toward New England during hurricane season is nothing unusual. So instead of reacting only on that statement, read on. The chance of a direct impact on New England, though not zero, is pretty low. Most reliable indications show this system will be weakening, transitioning from tropical to non-tropical, and making a turn to the right before its center can reach the region. But this does not mean zero impact either. A system taking this track during transition will still be close enough for definite rough surf impact (starting as early as Monday), and probable rain/wind impact, though the “worst” of it would likely occur over Cape Cod and the Islands. Still, however, a few days from the event we still have uncertainty and will watch for any changes. The forecast below will give as much detail as I’m comfortable with for now, and of course going forward it will be updated in more detail.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy with areas of fog into midday, then partly to mostly sunny. Highs 68-73 coast, 74-79 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-66. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy with areas of fog early, then partly sunny. Highs 68-73 coast, 74-79 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-66. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms especially afternoon and night. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially at night and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially early and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
Much of this period should feature dry weather and above normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)
The overall pattern doesn’t change much but we may again need to eye the tropics for potential impact from a system early in the period.

4:53PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 15-19)
The remains of Irma continue their passage through the Northeast and will finish the journey and exit into the Atlantic by early Saturday. At the same time a weakening cold front dropping into the region will basically wash out. The tropical pop up showers will fade tonight but the humidity will take a while to depart, only easing gradually during the weekend. Weak high pressure will be in control by Sunday into Monday but cloudiness in advance of Jose will spread into the region as early as later Monday and definitely by Tuesday. Though the timing is still a little uncertain, Jose should get close enough to bring some wind/rain to the region, especially southern and eastern areas, during Tuesday, though its arrival may not be until later day or nighttime.
THROUGH EVENING: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers including some downpours and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Temperatures mainly in the 70s. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Humid. Lows 60-65. Wind light E.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Areas of fog early. Slight chance of showers. Humid. Highs 68-75. Wind light E.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-65. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Slightly less humid. Highs 68-75 coast, 75-82 interior. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain, especially late. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
Jose may continue to impact the region with a rain/wind threat for at least southern and eastern areas September 20. After this it should become drier but mild to warm.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)
Will continue to watch the tropics for additional activity but overall a fairly dry and warm pattern is expected.

9:02AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)
The fragmented remains of Irma will traverse the region through Friday with a few opportunities for showers and even thunderstorms. During this time a weak cold front will also make its way into the region but fall apart in the process. By the weekend, weak high pressure will regain control of the weather. The overall pattern has shifted to one of above normal temperatures.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers/thunderstorms. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Lows 60-65. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
The overall idea remains for Jose, as a tropical storm or hurricane, to remain offshore and pass somewhere between the US East Coast and Bermuda, but will continue to monitor. Otherwise, expect mainly dry weather and above normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)
Overall pattern favors mainly dry weather and above normal temperatures.

3:02AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 13-17)
As expected, the fragmented remains of Irma make their approach later today but bring variable amounts of cloudiness and a few opportunities for showers Thursday and Friday. Not looking for any wash-out kind of weather, although some rain is needed as the region has experienced short-term dryness over the last few weeks. By the weekend, weak high pressure will regain control of the weather. The overall pattern has shifted to one of above normal temperatures.
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 75-80 coast, 80-85 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers/thunderstorms. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Lows 60-65. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)
The overall idea remains for Jose, as a tropical storm or hurricane, to remain offshore and pass somewhere between the US East Coast and Bermuda, but will continue to monitor. Otherwise, expect mainly dry weather and above normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)
Overall pattern favors mainly dry weather and above normal temperatures.

7:04AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)
High pressure dominates the weather in southeastern New England for the next couple days, which will be fair and warmer than average. The remains of Irma, in very fragmented form, will pass through the Northeast, at least part of them, Thursday and Friday, and at the same time a cold front will drop down from Canada and cross the region. Cloudiness and a risk of showers will result. Weak high pressure builds in Saturday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 69-76 coast, 77-83 interior. Wind light variable with coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 54-59 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 69-76 coast, 77-83 interior. Wind light S but coastal sea breezes.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s coast, middle to upper 70s interior.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)
A mainly dry pattern is expected but will continue to keep an eye on Jose off the coast. For now expecting the system to stay out to sea after it completes a loop to the south of Bermuda then tracks north to northeast.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)
A pattern of mainly dry weather and near to above normal temperatures is expected.

3:31PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)
High pressure dominates the weather in southeastern New England for the next few days, which will be fair and warmer than average. The remains of Irma, in very fragmented form, will pass through the Northeast, at least part of them, Thursday and Friday, and at the same time a cold front will drop down from Canada and cross the region. We’ll have more cloudiness those days but for now I’m only going with the idea of isolated to scattered showers.
REMAINDER OF TODAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 68-75 coast, 76-81 interior. Wind light variable with sea breezes at the shores.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 47-52 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 69-76 coast, 77-83 interior. Wind light variable with coastal sea breezes.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 54-59 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 69-76 coast, 77-83 interior. Wind light S but coastal sea breezes.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s coast, middle to upper 70s interior.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)
The weekend of September 16-17 should be mainly dry other than a slight risk of a shower mainly September 16. For now forecasting fair and mild to warm weather September 18-20 but will keep an eye on Hurricane Jose off the coast, just in case.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
A pattern of mainly dry weather and near to above normal temperatures is expected.

8:33AM

HURRICANE IRMA
Irma was weakened considerably by its encounter with Cuba, more than the reports actually stated. This is a whole other issue that I’ll talk more on later. The fact remains that Irma is still a very dangerous hurricane and will remain so as it tracks up the West Coast of Florida. Please check trusted sources for the latest information.

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 10-14)
The remnants of a cool pool overhead will trigger diurnal clouds again today and perhaps an isolated shower. The early part of the week will be dominated by high pressure with great weather. The remains of Irma will bring some cloudiness and possibly some wet weather, sometime during the middle of the coming week.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of an isolated shower. Highs 65-72. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind light N.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of rain. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 15-19)
A mainly dry and mild to warm pattern is expected but Hurricane Jose milling around somewhere off the East Coast will be watched.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
Still may have to watch Jose early period. Current thoughts are that it stays offshore. Otherwise, a couple fronts may deliver episodes of showers as temperatures are somewhat variable during this period.

12:37PM

HURRICANE IRMA
The storm has been hugging the northern coast of Cuba and this has delayed its northward turn, which is still expected, but now the center of the hurricane is expected to move basically up the western coast of Florida, whether it does this inland, offshore, or a combination of both, remains to be seen, but either way it will be a dangerous and damaging storm. Please check the official updates from NHC as well as trusted news sources for the latest.

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)
A cool pool overhead will trigger clouds and a few showers this afternoon and evening, with a repeat performance on Sunday with the clouds but not the showers. The first half of next week will be governed by high pressure bringing great September weather.
THIS AFTERNOON: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers. Highs 66-73. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers early. Lows 47-54. Wind light NE to N.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind light N.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)
A portion of the remnants of Irma will probably bring at least some cloudiness and potentially some wet weather early in the period with fair weather expected to follow. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
We’ll have to keep an eye on Hurricane Jose, just in case, but it should remain far offshore despite an expect erratic path in the days ahead. Otherwise, a couple fronts may deliver episodes of showers as temperatures are somewhat variable during this period.

3:49PM

Before I proceed to the normal forecast, I am going to draw your attention to the blog of a good friend and fellow-forecaster. His blog is infused with his personal style but it will not leave the reader short changed on well thought out forecasting and great writing. Today, he has written a very comprehensive blog about the current hurricanes, and even a little more. Please visit it by going to the link in the comments section below…

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 8-12)
A cool pool overhead will trigger clouds and a few showers this afternoon and evening, with a repeat performance on Saturday. By Sunday and early next week, it warms aloft and at the surface and some great late summer weather is expected as high pressure dominates.
REMAINDER OF TODAY: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers. Highs 70-77. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers early. Lows 52-58. Wind light NW.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered afternoon showers. Highs 66-73. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers early. Lows 47-54. Wind light N.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-73. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to middle 50s, coolest valley areas, mildest urban areas. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 13-17)
A portion of the remnants of Irma will probably bring at least some cloudiness and potentially some wet weather sometime during the Septemer 13-14 period but this is not certain yet. Fair weather is expected to follow. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)
We’ll have to keep an eye on Hurricane Jose, just in case, but it should remain far offshore despite an expect erratic path in the days ahead. Otherwise, a couple fronts may deliver episodes of showers as temperatures are somewhat variable during this period.

3:49AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 7-11)
Cold front #1 pushes offshore today and takes the higher humidity and more frequent showers with it, but some instability coming in behind the front may still trigger a few showers through the afternoon. Cold front #2 pushes through from west to east on Friday and will have less moisture to work with but still may trigger a shower. This opens the door for a cooler air mass for the weekend, and mainly dry weather, although some cold air aloft may still allow some pop up showers Saturday. By Monday we’ll be into a mini warming trend.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy with scattered to isolated showers early to mid morning. Partly cloudy remainder of day with isolated showers in the afternoon. Highs 70-75. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-62. Wind W 5-15 MPH but higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Passing showers possible in the afternoon. Highs 70-77. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated afternoon showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)
September 12 should be fair and warmer. Will watch for some unsettled weather associated with the remains of Hurricane Irma in the September 13-14 period, as I still expect the hurricane to turn north coming through the southern Bahamas and parallel the East Coast of Florida, eventually making a landfall as a category 2 or 3 hurricane either on the coast of Georgia or South Carolina, then heading inland and weakening before the remains head toward the US Northeast. A trough moving through from the west may bring additional showers around September 15 with a cool finish to the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)
Will have to watch another tropical system (Jose) offshore but current thoughts are that it will stay fair out to sea and here we will see a fairly quiet pattern with near to above normal temperatures.

4:18PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)
The humid showery pattern arrived as expected and will continue through Thursday morning with episodic showers and thunderstorms, some of which have been and will continue to be heavy. Even a few severe storms have occurred with local wind damage and a few more cannot be ruled out until the cold front moves offshore by midday Thursday. A second front will come along Friday and bring an afternoon shower threat. A pool of cooler air aloft may kick off a few spotty showers Saturday otherwise the weekend will be generally dry and cooler.
REMAINDER OF TODAY: Cloudy with areas of light fog. Episodes of showers and thunderstorms, any of which may be heavy. Humid. Temperatures holding in the 60s to lower 70s. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH but gusty at times.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Areas of fog. Occasional showers/thunderstorms, some of which can be heavy. Humid. Lows 60-66. Wind SW 5-15 MPH but higher gusts at times.
THURSDAY: Mainly cloudy into late morning with areas of fog and occasional showers and possible thunderstorms. Clearing trend west to east midday and afternoon but an additional isolated shower possible. Starting humid, then slowly drying. Highs 70-77. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-62. Wind W 5-15 MPH but higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Passing showers possible in the afternoon. Highs 70-77. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated afternoon showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)
September 11-12 should be dry with a warming trend. Current thoughts are that the remains of Irma will come through this area as showers or rain during the September 13-14 period, pending its eventual track. Still feeling that the center of Irma will turn north and parallel the Florida East Coast then make a landfall somewhere from Georgia to North Carolina, weakening over the interior Southeast before heading northeastward. A trough moving through from the west may bring additional showers for the end of the period after any remains of Irma exit. This forecast will have to be fine-tuned due to the number of players that impact its outcome.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)
Will have to watch another tropical system (Jose) offshore but early thoughts are that it will stay out to sea and here we will see a fairly quiet pattern with near to above normal temperatures.

4:38PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 5-9)
Warm and more humid air is in place and a cold front will attempt to cross the region starting tonight but will get hung up by an upper level air flow that is blowing more from south to north, parallel to the front, and now allowing it any progress until it finally gets kicked along during Thursday. Initially the first thrust of showers/thunderstorms will attempt to enter southeastern New England tonight but not really make it, and then the boundary will be close enough to generate episodic showers/storms by early Wednesday lasting until early Thursday, followed by a drying trend. Still looking for one more front to come along with a possible shower on Friday, then this will be followed by a cooler Canadian air mass by Saturday.
THROUGH EVENING: Partly cloudy. A shower or thunderstorm may reach north central MA and southwestern NH. Temperatures 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere. Humid. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms, mainly well west of Boston from eastern CT through central MA and southwestern NH. Humid. Lows 63-68. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Episodes of showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 70-75. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers most likely in the morning, diminishing chance thereafter. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of a shower. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SATURDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 10-14)
Fair with a cool start then a warming trend September 10-12. With the track of Irma still to be determined, if we were to see remnant rain from it, this would most likely occur late in this period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 15-19)
Drier weather is expected much of this period with a cooler start and warmer finish.

6:20PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 4-8)
Apologies for the very late update today. We had a nice Labor Day, guess I don’t have to forecast it since it’s over. 😉 No major changes anyway to this forecast going forward. Summery Tuesday. Cold front approaches late day and evening and send thunderstorms into areas well northwest of Boston that die out and then the line becomes stationary or even backs up for a time in the nighttime hours and awaits a small wave along the front to go by before pulling eastward Wednesday. This day becomes the showery day for much of the region, and then some eastward progression is expected Thursday which should have a drying trend and set up decent conditions for the Patriots opening game at night. Another front may come along and produce a passing shower Friday.
EVENING: The sun will set in a mainly clear sky. Temperatures in the 70s, some 60s South Coast. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
OVERNIGHT: Mostly clear to partly cloudy. Lows 58-65. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. A late-day or evening shower or thunderstorm may reach north central MA and southwestern NH. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 80-88 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms, mainly well west of Boston from eastern CT through central MA and southwestern NH. Humid. Lows 63-68. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Episodes of showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 70-75. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers most likely in the morning, diminishing chance thereafter. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of a shower. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)
Fair and cooler for the weekend of September 9-10. Fair and warmer September 11-12. Risk of rain at the end of the period depending on the track of Hurricane Irma. It is unlikely that we would see a direct impact here. It would likely range from remnants to a side-swipe, depending on the eventual path of the storm.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)
A rain risk early again depending on Irma’s eventual track, then a drying trend.

8:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 3-7)
The remains of Harvey, which have been advertised for days, come through today with areas of showers. Where, when, and how much it rains will vary, with one batch already having largely come through and moved offshore. There will be a few other areas of showers to go through. By tonight, it clears out, and then we’re set up for 2 summery-feeling days Labor Day Monday and again Tuesday. When we get to midweek, humidity from the south meeting slow-moving cold front from the west spells episodes of showers/thunderstorms and some possible heavy rain. Though we’ll be monitoring the progress of Hurricane Irma, if it becomes a threat to the East Coast it will not be in the next 5 days.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy. Episodic showers, a few of which may be heavy. Highs 62-70. Wind SE to E 5-15 MPH becoming variable late.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. A possible shower early. Patchy fog. Lows 57-62. Wind light W.
MONDAY – LABOR DAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-80 Cape Cod, 80-85 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 62-67. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Humid. Highs 78-83 Cape Cod, 84-89 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Humid. Episodes of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 8-12)
Pattern is likely to continue rather humid with a southerly flow overall. Timing of any shower episodes is not determinable yet. We’ll also have to watch Irma’s potential impact on the East Coast by later in the period, depending on track.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 13-17)
Like the period before, we’ll have to watch for the potential direct or more likely indirect impact of Irma early in the period, but much has to be determined before we can do this.
