DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 23-27)

Last night’s high tide was the most intrusive for east-facing shores while Hurricane Erin was still relatively close (but not that close) coinciding with the higher astronomical tide of the new moon. As we progress through the weekend, the tides and surf will ease along the New England coastline. Weather-wise, it’s going to be a great weekend as high pressure slides off the Atlantic Seaboard and provides a warmer south to southwest air flow. Humidity levels will begin to increase on Sunday due to a southerly air flow. A cold front will move into the region and take its time crossing it during Monday, when there is a good chance of showers and the potential for thunderstorms, somewhat dependent on the availability of fueling sunshine. Low pressure will miss us to the east during this time, and we lose out on the potential for a more widespread, beneficial rainfall. High pressure builds back toward the region via Canada and the Great Lakes behind the front on Tuesday, but an upper trough will help some clouds pop up during the day (any showers stay to the north). Fair, comfortable weather continues into midweek.

TODAY: Sunny. Highs 80-87 but 73-80 coast, coolest Cape Cod / South Coast. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 61-68. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sunshine dominates much of day but clouds increase later on. Highs 81-88 except 73-80 South Coast. Dew point climbs into the 60s. Wind S 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY NIGHT / MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and possible thunderstorms. Lows 63-70. Highs 75-82. Dew point 60s. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-62. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 72-79. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 52-59. Wind NW under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 71-78. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 28 – SEPTEMBER 1)

A frontal boundary and disturbance brings a shower chance August 29. Otherwise, fair weather will be dominant. Temperatures near to below normal, although somewhat variable.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 2-6)

The September 2 unsettled potential trends toward less of a chance, with the pattern looking rain-free much of this period until another disturbance brings a wet weather chance end of period. Temperatures fairly close to normal.

  2. Water temperatures have really dropped and probably won’t recover with the lowering sun angle.

    1. The water was really nice at Hampton Thursday & OOB yesterday. 🙂 Warmer than when I was at Hampton a couple weeks before.

  3. Thanks TK
    Go Farfield CT National Little League against Nevada today in the U.S. Championship Game at 3:30 on ABC. If Fairfield wins they play for the World Championship tomorrow at 3pm on ABC.
    A couple watch parties have been setup in Fairfield and win or lose a parade for the team happens in Fairfield on Monday. No matter what happens they gave all of us a great run.

  4. The system 500 miles SSE of Bermuda is a closed low now. Should be a TD soon, and a TS (Fernand) by tomorrow).
    Open water system, no threat to land, moves north, then northeast.

    The tropical wave deep in the MDR heading toward the eastern Caribbean has no future as a tropical cyclone. It’ll be moving into and across the Caribbean and falling apart due to unfavorable conditions for further development.

  9. 16 out of 22 days of August at Boston so far have been cooler than average. Their meteorological summer to date is now just a fraction of a degree to the positive side of the long term average but will probably end up sub-average before month’s end, as I noted was quite possible. The same will likely be true for Hartford and Providence. Worcester, we’ll see.

  10. Good thing I checked. CT LL is on ABC so my auto record would not have happened. I’m going out for ice cream with my granddaughter at 3:30 so would have missed it recording if I hadn’t checked. Thank you for the reminder JimmyJames

    3. MISERABLE FAIL again. Just wasn’t into it at all. First 2 guesses yielded NOTHING!! I HATE THIS GAME!!!!

      1. Ugh. It is absolutely a love hate game. When I was where you are, I was really hard on myself so I absolutely understand. Oddly, especially for me, I got less competitive with myself the longer I played. And trust me, that is not my normal. I am to the point of dividing it is good mind exercise

        I still have trouble not getting frustrated with connections which is why I don’t play it.

        I don’t think everyone uses my technique. Maybe most don’t. I make sure I get all vowels in my first two words. And each word has different consonants. I switch up the first two sometimes but always end up going back to them.

        I don’t know if nerdle is still around but think you would like that. It’s a math version of wordle. I’ll look

    1. Last night’s high tide was the top one. The one this midday was close. They go down from here.

  14. Not surprisingly, Salisbury Beach cancelled their biggest event of the year (Riverfest) and tonight’s fireworks (although they did not have to do the latter, but the decision was made yesterday after good information was loudly rejected by the tug boat captain and the person I advised was told to “go to hell along with his weather information”. Nice eh?

    At the time they’d float the barge up and perform the show, the seas will be same as two weeks ago – the only other questionable day when there was a strong cold core low at sea. There were no issues. There will be no issues for the barge tonight. Onshore, the fireworks show would be 3 hours from high tide – no issues there either. That’s the real story, but they didn’t wanna hear it.

    We are simply not trusted anymore and it’s due to the fakes out there. Disgusted with them.

    ANYWAY, I have a back-up display tonight. Southborough MA, so the Pyro Tour will be making a Saturday night stop anyway. 😉 Ciao Salisbury ’til next year! Next week they go again but I’ll be choosing Gloucester (August 30). Hampton has 4 displays left (August 27, August 31, September 6, and December 31). Other pyro tour stops include Boston Harbor on August 28, Somerville September 13, and Billerica September 20. 🙂

  15. I said earlier that the disturbance about to become a TD and eventually TS … was looking good … now, it’s not looking nearly as good, but NHC put it at 100% chance for development so they’re kind of stuck now. They’ll have to declare it even if it doesn’t really become anything. Either way, it’s a complete fish storm.

    On that subject, people have posting about how nasty Erin will be when it reaches Europe. Nope.

    It’s going to cut off, mature as a cold core cyclone, spin around south of Iceland and west of the UK for a day or two, then cross the UK as a dissipating cold core low with gusty wind and showers late this coming week. It might get a bit splashy on the rocky shores. 😉

    Just because you have a large tropical cyclone doesn’t guarantee a thing about places like that. It’s all about the synoptic set-up and the progression of the pattern. This is where actual meteorology comes in and kicks the ass of sensationalism, to put it one way. 😉

    1. We in SNE really dodged a bullet to say the least. Had Erin followed the path of 1938 and Bob with no landmass preceding there would have been the most devastation around here never experienced before. I imagine she would have been the hurricane we have been fearing since Bob…a category 3+ pouncing on SNE. I don’t know how prepared we would have been.

      Katrina “2.0” ?

    1. We’ve had a lot of onshore wind this month, which has helped warm the water nicely.

  17. Quite a few rain-free weekends this summer. 🙂
    Where is the media on that count? Or are they told by the boss to just focus on negative stuff? 😉

    If this week is your vacation week, you win. 🙂

    1. One of the local mets, I think it was Eric, spent some time last evening discussing the shift from the rainy-Saturday stretch to the beautiful-Saturday stretch.

    2. I can say Eric F pointed that out on a recent weathercast that I happened to see.

      He had 2 charts and said how we had cloudy or measurable precip on Saturdays all spring but then how the last 7 or 8 Saturday’s had been beautiful and that today was going to be another beauty.

  19. CT came up short. Great run though!

    Sox win 12-1 today. One more for the sweep tomorrow if they can pull it off.

    1. Awesome teams all. I managed to get home from my ice cream date to see all and FF breaks to catch up.

    2. Sox are pitching great the last 3 games.

      If they make the playoffs and Giolito, Bello and Croche keep pitching the way they’ve been pitching the last 3 months, they are a threat to win it all.

      Congrats on an amazing run to CT !

    3. Picture perfect day in the Bronx. Watching all the Yankee fans leave after the 8th was great, and that was before the Sox exploded in the 9th.

      Going to the Intrepid museum tomorrow before we head home. A quick little weekend getaway to NYC.

      1. Nice! Awww too bad the fans didn’t wanna hang around to see that 9th inning. 😉

  20. JPD this is needle. I had the first two guesses that figured out all the symbols and pretty much where the = went and I think all numbers. Or most. I had two great options and of course cannot fund them

  21. TK I agree with you great run by Fairfield CT! They have nothing to be ashamed of. This Nevada team they lost to us loaded with pitching and hitting. There will be a parade for the team Monday in Fairfield.

    1. Oh boy. Prayers. I’m wondering that this was the reason for the display being cancelled. Drawing people to the beach is a risk.

  23. I was wrong that my son and family were on Chebeague Is. They are inland at my DILs family’s home. I am VERY happy. I’ve done enough worrying this weekend to last for quite a while

  24. So this is what 6:45 looks like. It’s been a long time since my hours changed with retirement. I’d forgotten what a beautiful time of day it is.

    1. As much as I can be a night owl, I love being up early in the morning. It’s almost my favorite time of year for catching sunrise photos. 🙂
