DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 24-28)

Rough surf and rip currents gradually decrease during the day today along the coast, but are still a factor, so use caution if you have beach/boating plans, especially along east-facing shores. This is still ongoing in the wake of Erin, which itself is long gone in the North Atlantic. It can take up to a few days for ocean surface impacts to settle in the wake of these passing storms. Weather-wise, we’re looking at a pretty decent Sunday – fairly warm with humidity a bit higher (noticeable to the most sensitive folks) as high pressure sits offshore and a cold front approaches from the west, resulting in a southwesterly air flow. At the same time, to the south is a low pressure area (non-tropical) off the Mid Atlantic Coast. This will be heading north northeast, and the combination of it and the approaching front will change our sunny early-day sky into one with some increasing cloud coverage. Unsettled weather will arrive overnight and last through Monday from both systems, although the offshore low will only clip Cape Cod and the Islands with some steadier rain for a few hours – though beneficial as drought exists there. The rest of us will have to wait to see what kind of shower and possible thunderstorm activity the cold front can produce as it moves across our region fairly slowly during the day and evening hours. Monday night, the front clears the region and the low to the east departs via the Gulf of Maine, and Tuesday we’ll see fair weather return along with lower humidity and cooler air, though a sun/cloud mix will be our sky as we have some chilly air aloft with the passage of an upper trough of low pressure. Similar weather is expected Wednesday – a sun/cloud mix – with high pressure at the surface to our west but a trough moving over our area. Shower activity Tuesday and Wednesday should be confined to the mountain areas to our west and north so I expect dry weather here in the WHW forecast area. High pressure will nose into the region from the southwest with sunnier weather for Thursday but comfortable late August air.

TODAY: Sun dominates to start, clouds become more prevalent by late-day. Highs 81-88 except 73-80 South Coast. Dew point climbs into the 60s. Wind S 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain possible Cape Cod / Islands toward sunrise. Lows 62-69. Dew point 60+. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Early-morning rain potential Cape Cod / Islands. Scattered showers and thunderstorms elsewhere – trend from west to east. Highs 76-83. Dew point in 60s. Wind variable around 10 MPH Cape Cod and Islands early, otherwise SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Shower potential evening. Patchy fog overnight. Lows 55-62 with similar dew points. Wind shifts to W up to 10 MPH.

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

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

WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 71-78. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 52-59. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 72-79. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 29 – SEPTEMBER 2)

Another trough moves through the region late next week (August 29) with a shower and thunderstorm chance, but uncertain how widespread they’ll be. High pressure builds in for Labor Day Weekend with fair, pleasant weather. Fair weather is expected to continue for the end of the period with a modest warm-up. There is some medium range guidance that has inconsistently indicated unsettled weather September 1 and/or 2. I lean to dry weather for this period but will keep an eye on trends there as sometimes guidance fails to pick up on disturbances at this range and you get inconsistent simulations.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 3-7)

High pressure brings dry weather to the region at least into mid period. Watching later in the period for some potential for at least briefly unsettled weather, but low confidence on that idea. Temperatures near to slightly below normal.

    1. Another MISERABLE FAIL today. That’s 3 out of the last 4 days!
      Thought I had it on both guess 5 and 6, but it was a word that I didn’t think of. The 1st 2 I thought of made much more sense, but they weren’t the word. I was doing better 2 weeks ago.
      The whole thing looks like a jumbled up mess of letters to me.
      It’s like I cannot connect the dots… very very very disappointing to be sure!!!! I just don’t get it. I am not stupid by a long shot, yet this keeps happening to me! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. Today had a ridiculous number of choices if you didn’t have the second letter. I had four letters with three in the correct spot and the fourth an obvious last letter and it still took 5.

        1. I’m enjoying the daily Wordle discussion. It still hasn’t been enough to make me start playing it though. We’ll see on that. 🙂

          1. Awww please join. It’s fun…..can’t you tell by all of the positive discussion 🙂 🙂 🙂 or maybe I should say that misery loves company.

          2. I don’t understand why so many people keep talking about the weather on the Wordle forum!

            🙂

        2. I totally agree that this is a “generic” word with lots of possibilities to replace many of the letters. My lucky break was getting the second letter on the third guess. Then I solved it in 4.

            1. Yes, thank you and I tried that and it PISSED me off the very first time!!!!!! ARGHHH!@)#**!@_#(!@(_#)(!@)#(!@(#)(!@#(!@)(

            2. I just tried Nerdle and got it in 4. There’s just something that I don’t really enjoy about it – I’m not sure what it is.

              Also, I don’t really understand the rules. How does division work? What is 3/4? Is it truncated to 0, rounded to 1, or not allowed? Does the solution ever have no-ops in it like multiplying by 1 or adding 0? For example:
              2+9+0=11

              1. I used to know exactly how it worked.

                I always liked it cause I got to the point where I had it figured out. But no one else played it so it wasn’t fun.

                Plus FB puts you in a Time out if you use the words nerdle so I had to use ner dle.

  4. Walked the shore and it was pleasant out. Noticed that the cleaning crews were out getting rid of mud, rocks and seaweed that came over the walls yesterday. It was a mess! Waves still choppy this AM.

    Yesterday AM after my walk, I drove to the Boston Common to see the 250th anniversary display of the Marines. It was very early but they were all out there and happy to answer any questions I had. They had a half dozen helicopters including an Osprey and a half dozen land vehicles including a humvee.

    For some reason, they would not let me fly the Osprey!!

          1. Thank you. So since he pitched this year for the sox, he is included on the stats, evn though he is on another team. Makes sense. I thought he was still on the team. 🙂

            1. Unless he got traded in the last 18 hours, JPD, he’s still with the As. He pitched last night. He will be back in Boston in September when the As come to Fenway.

              Of the infinite teaching memories I have, I can say that I taught an MLB player! I saw him last fall. He is as quiet and humble as can be!!!

              1. Seems like a very nice man. You are so lucky to have taught him. Quite a thrill, I must say.

  9. Shocked myself. Got it in three! I was lucky to have guessed four of the five letters correctly in my second guess. I call it beginner’s luck. Fun game for sure and very easy to play.

    1. I am more shocked that you are here. We usually only here from you when it snows. Nice to see you here. Good luck with the game!

    1. Outer Cape / Nantucket maybe clipped by it. But if so, limited area of benefit.

  12. Pool water at my complex back up to 73°. Im hoping ocean recovers a bit along the RI. south coast. I doubt those ocean temps will come back up. Probably not with northwest winds up welling the cold water from bellow this upcoming week.

    1. Let’s see what happens sept 1-10th time frame.

      The 55 degree and lowering sun angle then doesn’t help at all, but maybe a few more 80F+ degree days and maybe some milder nights might gave it one more pulse up, briefly.

  15. Great World Series finish. The tradition of the Chinese Taipei to salute the opposing team fans is moving. So cool that their coach was part of the 2015 (I think) team

    1. So cool too with the LL softball champions on the field with the little league champions.

  17. There are still plenty of swells and some large ones rolling in, some 60 hrs after Erin passed by.

    Not surprised, when it reintensified northeast of the Bahamas, it had 90-100 mph winds around its center, but it had a second wind maxima some 100-150 miles north and northeast of its center, in which some of those winds were stronger than around its center.

  18. A Sox win this evening will make this the 2nd longest winning streak against the Yankees. Long way to go to get to #1 though.

    A Sox win this evening will make this the first 4-game sweep in the Bronx for the first time in 86 years.

    1. A big ole mature cold core cyclone. Getting ready to become quasi-stationary and start spinning down before it moves across the UK in several days.

  21. According to AJ Waterman on Ch. 7, temperatures in the 70s the next two weeks.

    In other words, well below normal coming into September?

    1. Boston’s average high temp for the final days of August and start of September starts at about 78 and declines to about 76, so definitely not “well below normal”. According to my forecast, if you saw it, it’s more of a “near to below normal” regime.
