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.

9:07AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 2-6)
A cool start to Labor Day Weekend especially this morning but it does recover to 70+ many areas this afternoon while staying cooler in coastal areas. For the Saturday-Monday “weekend”, Saturday and Monday will be the dry days, with Monday having the feel of summer back. In-between, however, is the problem, and that will be as the remains of Harvey come through, not with much of any wind, but some wet weather. Steadiest rain should arrive in the morning and exit around midday from southwest to northeast, but the actual center of what used to be Hurricane Harvey has to come across the region during the afternoon and will still trigger some additional showers and possible thunderstorms, so going ahead with any outdoor plans in the afternoon will be risky at best. When we get to Tuesday, it will feel like mid summer ahead of a cold front, and that front will be slow to move in but will do so on Wednesday with a better chance of wet weather again.
TODAY: Sunshine filtered to dimmed by high clouds. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Wind light variable becoming SE up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Thickening overcast. Chance of rain before dawn. Lows 55-62. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Overcast with a period of rain morning and midday. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny with scattered showers/thunderstorms remainder of day. Highs 65-72. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Chance of showers early. Patchy fog. Lows 58-64. Wind light W.
MONDAY – LABOR DAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-83, coolest Cape Cod. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 7-11)
The weather pattern is expected to feature a ridge of high pressure off the Atlantic Coast and a trough of low pressure over the east central US with humid and mild to warm weather with episodes of showers the result in this area. We will also be watching the progress of Hurricane Irma.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)
No major changes from the 6-10 period expected at this time. A lot of fine tuning to come.

4:39PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 1-5)
Here is your outlook for Labor Day Weekend and one-day either side. A cool and gusty northwest wind has made today feel a bit like later September instead of the first day of the month and with only some high thin clouds around tonight as the wind drops off it will be quite cool. High pressure hangs on for dry weather Saturday though clouds will start to filter the sun in advance of the remains of Harvey, which will track across the northeastern US on Sunday bringing unsettled weather to the area. The timing is critical for many with outdoor plans, and at the moment I believe the steadiest rain will be in the morning with isolated to scattered showers in the afternoon. The wildcard is how much if any sun, and that will be determined by the low center and its track. The further southeast the track, the cloudier and potentially wetter the area is, and the further north with the track would allow the wind to shift more to the west behind the initial burst of rain and some breaking clouds and sun would be possible, though not without a shower threat. Updates to come on this. By Monday and Tuesday, a much warmer air mass will be in place.
LATE AFTERNOON: Sun and high clouds. Temperatures in the 60s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear – few high clouds. Lows 38-45 interior valleys, 46-52 elsewhere. Wind light NW.
SATURDAY: Sunshine filtered to dimmed by high clouds. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Wind light variable becoming SE up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Thickening overcast. Chance of rain before dawn. Lows 55-62. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Overcast with a period of rain morning. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny with isolated to scattered showers afternoon. Highs 65-72. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 58-64. Wind light W.
MONDAY – LABOR DAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-83, coolest Cape Cod. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)
The weather pattern is expected to feature a ridge of high pressure off the Atlantic Coast and a trough of low pressure over the east central US with humid and mild to warm weather with episodes of showers the result in this area. We will also be watching the progress of Hurricane Irma.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)
No major changes from the 6-10 period expected at this time. A lot of fine tuning to come.

7:39AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 4)
Cold front comes through tonight and results in a significant difference from a final day of August that feels like summer and a first day of September that feels like autumn. High pressure tries to hold on for the weekend but the remains of Harvey will have to traverse the region in one form or another, the details of which are yet to be determined, but the current leaning is for part 1 to miss to the south late Saturday and for part 2 to come through with a few areas of showers Sunday morning and midday then a summery feel returning for Labor Day.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated mid to late afternoon showers/thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 76-82 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-57. Wind W to NW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 66-72. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Mostly to partly sunny. Lows from the lower 40s interior valleys to lower 50s coast. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers morning-midday. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to upper 70s.
MONDAY – LABOR DAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the lower 80s to lower 90s.

DAYS 7-10 (SEPTEMBER 5-9)
A more humid pattern with episodes of showers/thunderstorms possible. Temperatures near normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 10-14)
Same general pattern expected with temperatures near to above normal.

7:42AM

Another slight format skew today on account of Labor Day Weekend upcoming…

DAYS 1-6 (AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 4)
Low pressure tossed a bit of rain further north into eastern MA and RI than I expected as it expanded during its intensification overnight. This is a non-tropical system and will move away today. The remainder of the forecast is largely unchanged with a warmer day expected Thursday, a cold front bringing cooler/dry air for Friday-Saturday, then a little uncertainty based on where the remains of Harvey go. For now, staying with yesterday’s idea, but a whole lot of the Sunday-Monday period may end up rain-free as well.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy morning with rain gradually tapering off southeastern MA and a few showers dissipating over central MA and southwestern NH. Clearing this afternoon. Highs 70-77. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 50-57. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Scattered mid to late afternoon showers/thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 75-80 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the lower 40s interior valleys to lower 50s coast. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers early. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to upper 70s.
MONDAY – LABOR DAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the lower 80s to lower 90s.

DAYS 7-10 (SEPTEMBER 5-8)
A more humid pattern with episodes of showers/thunderstorms possible. Temperatures near normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)
Same general pattern expected with temperatures near to above normal.

4:46PM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 2)
Tropical moisture will pass south of New England tonight and early Wednesday, skirting the South Coast with rain and otherwise bringing some cloudiness to the region. A cold front traverses the region later Thursday with a shower and thunderstorm threat. A cool/dry air mass arrives for the end of the week including the start of the Labor Day weekend.
THROUGH EVENING: Mainly cloudy. Temperatures in the 60s to near 70. Wind light NE to E.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. A period of rain possible after midnight favoring Islands & Cape Cod. Lows 52-57. Wind E 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH with higher gusts Nantucket.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny morning including a risk of rain early on Nantucket. Mostly sunny afternoon. Highs 70-77. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 50-57. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Scattered mid to late afternoon showers/thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 75-80 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the lower 40s interior valleys to lower 50s coast. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 3-7)
Expecting 2 pushes of tropical moisture associated with the remnants of Harvey, the first largely failing and producing only isolated showers on September 3, the second combining with a trough from the west and bringing a better chance of showers on Labor Day, September 4. Additional showers/thunderstorms possible at times during the remainder of the period as a trough sets up in the Great Lakes and high pressure builds off the Atlantic Coast.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 8-12)
Same general pattern expected with temperatures variable but trending to above normal, with a few episodes of showers and thunderstorms, but the forecast is lower than average confidence at this point.

11:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 28-SEPTEMBER 1)
High pressure remains in control and will hold today. Tropical moisture lilely in the form of a tropical storm will pass south of New England Tuesday night and Wednesday and bring cloudiness, and possibly some rain onto the South Coast as well but this will not turn out to be a major storm or anything lasting. A cold front will cross the region Thursday and deliver a cool air mass to end the week and start September.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 50-58. Wind light E.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 68-75, coolest East Coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 10-20 MPH with higher gusts late South Coast.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of rain early South Coast. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Chance of late-day shower or thunderstorm. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 2-6)
At this time Saturday September 2 through Sunday September 3 look dry with a cool start and a warmer finish. Monday September 4 and Tuesday September 5 look humid and showery with drier weather returning to end the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 7-11)
Looks like a drier pattern with cool start and warmer finish.

10:39AM

Making a few tweaks in details and timing but no massive changes from yesterday’s overall ideas.

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 27-31)
High pressure remains in control and will hold early in the week. It looks like tropical moisture in the form of a tropical cyclone will pass south of New England Tuesday night and Wednesday and bring the cloudiness that I mentioned in, and it may be close enough to toss some rain onto the South Coast as well but this will not turn out to be a major storm or anything lasting. The uncertainty was already known and remains somewhat as this area of disturbed weather still has a somewhat uncertain future and we can only go largely by the most reliable guidance we have at this point, so further tweaks may be necessary. I’m also going to adjust the timing of a cold front that I had mentioned for next Friday, and thinking that now arrives by late Thursday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind light NE to E.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 47-57, coolest interior valleys. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 50-58. Wind light E.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 68-75, coolest East Coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 10-20 MPH with higher gusts late South Coast.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of rain early South Coast. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Chance of late-day shower or thunderstorm. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 1-5)
At this time Friday September 1 through Sunday September 3 look dry with a cool start and a warmer finish. Monday September 4 and/or may still turn showery with another front and potential tropical moisture. Lower confidence with time on this part of the forecast.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)
Skeptical of medium range guidance and staying with an idea of warmer/drier overall.
