DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)…
This portion of the forecast is brought to you by the final 5 days of September! And during these 5 days we will see a little variety but the continuation of a dry weather pattern. High pressure dominates the weekend with stellar conditions and even though low pressure starts to spread some high, thin clouds into southern New England on Sunday night I am optimistic that the sky will remain clear enough for a good to excellent view of the total lunar eclipse which begins at 9:07PM and ends at 12:27AM (Monday) with totality beginning at 10:11PM into the 11PM hour. This is also being termed a “Super Moon Eclipse” because the moon is as close to the Earth as it gets all year and will appear slightly larger than average, and also a “blood moon” as the moon will not blacken out of view but appear a darker red during totality. After graciously waiting until the celestial event concludes, cloudiness will advance ahead of low pressure to the south of the region, which will track northeastward and pass well southeast of the area by early Tuesday. Though this system may toss some shower activity into parts of southern New England, it will be light, spotty, and non-beneficial. A cold front, which on earlier forecasts I had timed for Wednesday, appears that it will make haste enough to pass through late Tuesday, preceded by warm air and a slight risk of showers. This system will also not be a beneficial rain-maker. High pressure presses toward the region from the west Wednesday, with cooler and drier weather.
TODAY: Sunshine and a few high clouds. Highs in the 60s. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mainly clear with a bright nearly-full moon. Lows in the 40s. Wind light E.
SUNDAY: Sunshine and a few high clouds. Highs in the 70s. Wind light SE to S.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mainly clear with a few high clouds evening then increasing cloudiness overnight. Eclipsed moon will be visible (see above). Lows in the 50s. Wind S up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light showers. Highs in the 70s. Wind S to variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 45-55. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 1-5)…
As October arrives, a cooler shot of air is expected the first few days. Low pressure forming on a front offshore will likely be close enough for some cloudiness October 1-2 and possibly a cool, gusty wind on October 2 and even into October 3 as the low moves away and high pressure builds in. High pressure will build overhead then to the east with fair and warming weather October 4-5.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 6-10)…
Look for showers and mild conditions early in the period, briefly cooler with dry weather returning mid period, then a warming trend later in the period with continued mainly dry weather.

7:19AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)…
High pressure dominates the next 3 days with very nice weather. Will write soon on the down side to the dry weather as well as the upcoming lunar eclipse. Low pressure to the south will push some cloudiness into the region by Monday and perhaps some shower activity Monday night and part of Tuesday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 64-72. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows 43-50. Diminishing NE wind.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 60s. Wind light E.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs 65-73.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 4)…
Cold front approaches from the west September 30 which will be a warmer day with a shower threat. Uncertainty for the first several days of October as the front slows offshore and low pressure tries to form to the south. Not expecting a whole lot of rain during this period but the amount of sunshine each day is in question this far in advance. Temperatures during this period will run near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 5-9)…
Overall pattern will remain drier and warmer than normal but a couple shower episodes and air mass changes are likely.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)…
Cold front quietly slips north to south through the region today and this evening bringing some clouds, but no threat of any rain. High pressure builds out of Canada again Friday through the weekend with dry weather. Low pressure to the south may push some cloudiness into the region by Monday, but for now it appears all rain with this system will stay south at least through that time.
TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 70-77. Wind NW shifting to NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows 45-53. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 64-72. wind NE 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 39-47. Highs in the 60s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs 65-73.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 3)…
Low pressure from the south still may bring some showers into the region September 29 before a cold front from the west brings a shower threat September 30. High pressure builds in with dry and cooler weather for the early days of October, but there is some uncertainty in timing and if another system will try to come along sometime these days.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 4-8)…
Overall pattern will remain drier and warmer than normal.

7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)…
One high pressure area today gives way to a new one from the north Friday into the weekend, with only a weak cold front passing by on Thursday between the two of them, noticeable only by a few clouds and a wind shift. We’ll be talking more soon about the expected sky conditions for a total lunar eclipse on Sunday night.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 46-53. Wind light NW.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind NW shifting to NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 45-53. Highs 64-72.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 39-47. Highs in the 60s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs 65-73.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 2)…
Low pressure from the south may get close enough for cloudiness later September 28 and possibly some wet weather September 29, but this is uncertain. Cold front from the west may bring a few showers September 30. High pressure builds in with dry and cooler weather to start October, based on current timing.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 3-7)…
A system brings a shower risk early to mid period then back to dry weather. Temperatures mostly above normal.

7:20AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)…
No significant changes to previous discussion.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Decreasing clouds. Lows 45-52. Wind NE 5-10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Highs 67-74.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 46-53. Highs 65-72.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 43-51. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 1)…
High pressure hangs on early period, may get pushed northward mid period by low pressure to the south but still leaning toward dry weather, then high pressure re-strengthens and moves southward over the region later in the period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 2-6)…
High pressure gives way a little bit to some disturbances with a slightly better risk of showers at times. Temperatures near to above normal.

2:04AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)…
Other than low pressure to the south getting close enough for some cloudiness Tuesday, high pressure will be in control of the weather during this period. It will be on the cooler side to start the week as the first high builds down from Canada, warmer midweek as the high settles more to the south, then cooler again to end the work week as a dry front passes and opens the door for another high from Canada.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 66-73. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 46-53. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind E 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 45-52. Highs 68-75.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Highs 70-78.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 46-53. Highs 65-72.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)…
High pressure moves down from the north then builds over the region, finally sinking to the south later in the period as the cycle repeats with a new high in Canada ready to move in by period’s end. Cool nights and mild days will dominate the early part of the period followed by a warming trend.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 1-5)…
Yet another high builds in with more dry weather for the first few days of the period then finally a risk of some shower activity later in the period. Temperatures near to mostly above normal.

9:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)…
A cold front is exiting southeastern New England via Cape Cod this morning where clouds and a few sprinkles will linger into midday before departing. This front has already moved through the rest of the region earlier in the morning with some light showers and now sunshine and passing fair weather clouds will dominate the rest of the day along with a cooler breeze but still mild but much drier air. Refreshing air will be dominant through Monday as high pressure builds down from Canada, then gives way a little to low pressure south of the region Tuesday. At this time I’m just expecting some cloudiness at that time with most if not all rain from the low to the south remaining offshore and then moving away to the east on Wednesday as another high builds in. This high will then sink to the south on Thursday which will turn out to be a warmer day. The earlier ideas of low pressure trying to make one more run northward are being abandoned as it looks like the high will indeed win out.
TODAY: Clouds and sprinkles linger Cape Cod into midday otherwise sunshine and passing clouds elsewhere. Highs in the 70s. Wind N 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 45-53, coolest interior valleys. Wind light N.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-72. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Lows 45-53, coolest valleys. Highs 67-74.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 47-55. Highs 65-72.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 50-58. Highs 70-78.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)…
Big high pressure area builds out of Canada and slowly sinks southward during this 5-day period with dry weather throughout, starting cool and breezy early in the period and eventually warming up later in the period to above normal levels.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 4)…
A little more influence from the jet stream sending a couple fronts through during this period. Temperatures overall still above normal with rainfall below normal with a long term mild/dry regime in place.

8:46AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)…
A little increase in humidity today, already evident by more widespread low cloudiness and areas of fog to start the day, though they will vanish during the morning and leave plenty of sunshine for most of the day, only starting to fade later as clouds approach from the west ahead of a cold front. This front will pass the region Sunday morning, and I’m only adding back the slight risk of passing showers to start the day, especially north of Boston, before clearing, cooler, and drier weather takes over. High pressure builds to the north of the region Monday which will be fair but cooler day. Low pressure to the south may get close enough to toss some cloudiness in along with the chance of some wet weather near the South Coast Tuesday, but this should retreat Wednesday and we’ll be back to fair and pleasant weather.
TODAY: Areas of low clouds and fog dissipating during the morning with more sunshine much of the day. Increasing high and middle clouds approaching from the west late day. Highs 76-83. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Slight chance of showers before dawn northwest of Boston. Lows 58-65. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy through mid morning with passing showers possible especially north of Boston. Becoming mostly sunny late morning on. Highs 68-75. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs 65-72.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain South Coast region. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs 65-72.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)…
Low pressure may try to run northward briefly September 24 with more cloudiness but a new and larger high pressure are will build down from Canada for the remainder of the period with dry weather and slightly cooler weather to start the period followed by a gradual warming trend.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 3)…
Frontal system may bring some shower activity September 29 and/or 30 before high pressure builds in with dry weather to start October. Temperatures mostly above normal, warmest early in the period.

7:51AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)…
A few minor tweaks but overall a very similar forecast to the last one issued. Upper low passes southeast of New England tonight and Saturday. Cold front crosses the region early Sunday. A second cold front sinks southward late Tuesday while low pressure to the south tries to get a little closer. So this period we’ll be looking at when we’ll see more cloudiness versus any rainfall.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 78-86. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear to partly cloudy. Patchy fog in low-lying areas. Lows 57-65. Wind light SW.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs 77-85. Wind SW to S 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs in the 70s. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)…
Fair and cooler September 23. More clouds but rain likely stays away September 24. Fair and cool September 25. Fair and milder September 26-27 which is the last weekend of the month.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 2)…
Shower threat appears most likely mid period with temperatures above normal for the period, but likely warmest early.

9:19AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)…
This 5-day period will have no rain in it, because after we’re dominated by high pressure through Saturday I now expect Sunday’s frontal passage to be dry, bringing only cloudiness with it. Temperatures have rebounded after a recent cool interlude and will be quite warm, peaking on Thursday.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 77-85. Wind W up to 10 MPH shifting to S.
TONIGHT: Clear. Patchy fog in low elevations. Lows 53-60. Wind S under 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 80-88. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Patchy fog in low elevations. Lows 55-62. Wind SW under 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs 78-86. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs 75-85.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)…
A sun/cloud mix and cooler breeze Monday September 21 behind a cold front. Quick rebound to warmer with fair weather Tuesday September 22, then a new high from Canada brings fair and slightly cooler weather Wednesday September 23. Watch a disturbance to the south for Thursday September 24 which may toss cloudiness back into the region and at least some risk of rain southern areas though it may stay south. Generally fair and warm weather returns by Friday September 25 based on current thinking.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)…
Other than a rain risk around September 27-28, look for mostly dry weather and above normal temperatures during the last 5 days of the month.

9:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 15-19)…
5 days of high pressure in control, sunshine, above normal temperatures, and fairly dry air. It doesn’t get much more simple than this. The only “complication” I can find is overnight and early morning fog that may form in valleys, swamps, bogs, ponds, lakes, and any other low-elevation location starting Wednesday night / Thursday morning.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 77-85. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 53-60. Wind light W.
WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Highs 77-85. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: Sunshine by day. Mainly clear at night with the exception of patchy fog in low-lying locations. Lows 50s to lower 60s, coolest in valleys. Highs upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)…
A cold front moves through September 20 with no more than cloudiness and a few showers, but it may stay dry and it will still be a warm day. A shot of cooler and dry air with a gusty breeze for September 21. Fair and warmer September 22 then cooling slightly but still mild September 23 as high pressure moves in from Canada. Disturbance may bring clouds back by September 24 though unsure of timing of any systems this far out.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)…
A couple rounds of wet weather possible during this period but not looking for a major pattern change at this time, still mild and near to below normal rainfall overall.

5:26PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)…
With day 1 mostly over we’ll just count evening and night as it, and say that the day was as it was expected to be with sun and clouds and a cooler breeze and dry air as upper level low pressure crossed the region from west to east. And now, as promised, comes a high pressure ridge with fair and warmer weather for the remainder of this 5-day forecast period.
EVENING: Variably cloudy. Temperature in the 60s. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
OVERNIGHT: Clearing. Lows in the 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs around 80. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: Sunny by day. Clear by night. Lows 55-65. Highs 75-85.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)…
Dry pattern continues with only a weak cold front crossing the region on September 20 with a slight risk of passing showers that day, otherwise many more dry days ahead with temperatures mostly above normal, warmest likely on September 19.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)…
A few opportunities for showers during this period with temperatures near to above normal.

10:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 13-17)…
Low pressure brings mainly cloudy and occasionally wet weather today. The first area of rain went through the region in the early morning hours and another one will likely traverse the region later today into early tonight. As the system pulls offshore Monday, a drier westerly wind will take over, but some cloudiness and even a few spotty showers will be around as upper level low pressure crosses the region from west to east. High pressure builds in Tuesday through midweek with great late Summer weather.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy. Areas of fog and light drizzle. Spotty showers possible into the afternoon then a better chance of more widespread showers and possibly a thunderstorm later in the day into the evening. Highs around 70. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy with showers likely until around midnight then breaking clouds overnight. Patchy fog. Lows around 60. Wind variable under 10 MPH early then shifting to W 5-15 MPH overnight.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of passing showers. Highs in the 70s. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY: Sunny days, clear nights. Lows upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)…
Fair and warm September 18-19. Mild with showers September 20. Fair and mild to warm September 21-22.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)…
A shot of cooler air arrives September 23-24 possibly preceded by showers. Warming trend with mainly fair weather September 25-27.

8:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)…
A sliver of high pressure brings fair weather today but not without some early fog and low clouds in some locations and an increase in high cloudiness from the southwest later in the day ahead of the next foul weather system, a system which will bring wet weather in 2 main pulses Sunday morning and late-day. The wet weather system will sweep offshore Monday but upper level low pressure still crossing the New England area from west to east will result in some cloudiness. After that, high pressure takes over Tuesday and Wednesday with fair and warmer weather.
TODAY: Areas of fog and low clouds through mid morning, plenty of sun late morning through afternoon, then fading sun by evening as high clouds increase from the southwest. Highs 75-82. Wind light S to SE.
TONIGHT: Thickening cloudiness. Rain arrives southwest to northeast mainly after 11PM. Lows in the 60s. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy. Rain is most likely early morning and again late afternoon on. Highs in the 70s. Wind SE to variable 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Rain early, tapering off to showers later before ending. Areas of fog. Lows in the 60s. Wind variable mainly S to SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 68-75. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY: Sunny by day, clear by night. Lows 55-65. Highs 75-85.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)…
High pressure ridge should hold with fair weather and above normal temperatures September 17-19. Frontal system is expected to bring some unsettled weather in the September 20-21 time frame with a slight cool-down.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)…
Warming early period followed by showers then cooler and drier but still no below normal temperatures indicated as the overall pattern remains warm to mild.

7:23AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)…
Low pressure slowly departs today and cool, moist air will be slow to give up to drier air moving in from the west, so some wet weather and cloudiness will linger before clearing finally arrives this evening. That dry air will only be with us for a part of the weekend, Saturday daytime and evening, before another low pressure area moves in from the south and brings more wet weather Sunday. Monday’s weather may end up somewhat similar to today’s as this low slowly pulls out of the region while waiting for upper level low pressure to swing through. But by Tuesday, high pressure will be building in both at the surface and aloft and result in a quick switch back to fair and warmer weather.
TODAY: Cloudy through midday with occasional showers, then breaking clouds west to east and drying out. Highs 68-75. Wind N 5-15 MPH gusting over 20 MPH, shifting to NW.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows in the 50s. Diminishing NW wind.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 75-83. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Showers arriving overnight. Lows in the 60s. Wind light SE.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Occasional showers. Highs in the 70s. wind SE to variable 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of showers. Lows 55-65. Highs 65-75.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-65. Highs 75-85.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)…
Mainly dry weather then a chance of showers by the end of the period. Temperatures above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)…
Temperatures will running mostly above normal with a few episodes of showers early and late period.
