DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 27-31)

The final 5 days of August takes us 2/3 of the way into Labor Day Weekend. How’s the weather looking? Well, that’s the question this blog post attempts to answer. Before we get to the weekend, we have a trough of low pressure swinging through the area today, bringing a chance of a passing shower (low risk of a thunderstorm) to areas mainly north of I-90 during a few hour window this afternoon – generally around 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. from west to east. While many areas see little or nothing, a couple could experience a brief downpour, a rumble of thunder, and even small hail. This exits by evening and a fair, cooler night is ahead. A small area of high pressure pokes into the region Thursday which will have a bit more sun, but more clouds show up later ahead of the next trough, which will bring us another chance of showers and thunderstorms for more of the area Friday. While the day doesn’t look like a wet one from start to finish, there is certainly a better opportunity for more areas to see activity than will see it today. A little more refining of this wet weather threat comes in the next 2 updates, so check those out the next couple mornings! Heading into the weekend, the upper low driving Friday’s threat will hang around into early Saturday and can cause a brief shower in a few locations, but this may be largely a done deal by the time most people get up for the day, with just a sun/cloud mix to follow. Sunday looks sunnier with high pressure in more control and the upper low departed to the east.

TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. A passing shower or thunderstorm possible in the afternoon, favoring areas north of I-90. Highs 71-78. Wind W to NW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 52-59. Wind NW to W up to 10 MPH.

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

THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-62. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms. Highs 71-78. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers, possibly a thunderstorm. Patchy fog. Lows 58-65. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a shower mainly far eastern areas early. Highs 70-77. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy low elevation fog. Lows 52-59. Wind N up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 72-79. Wind variable to E up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 1-5)

High pressure remains in control through the middle of next week and leaning heavily toward a disturbance to the south remaining offshore, allowing for fair weather and a temperature moderation, until a frontal system from the west comes in with a shower / t-storm chance late week.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)

September 7 and 10 are the early target days for shower threats in an otherwise mostly dry pattern with temperatures variable, but not far from normal.

    1. Yay. Awesome!!

      I finally broke my five streak with a four. I had only two words for my third guess and of course chose the wrong one.

      2. There were a few choices. I had 3 letter after 3 guesses,
        but chose the wrong word for 4 and 5 and only got it with
        my 3rd choice and 6th overall.

        Easy word that was difficult to get.

        I practiced with 5 or 6 past wordle games late yesterday and changed out my starting words. Was getting the words in 4 guesses with a 3 and a 5 thrown in there. Feeling a little better about it now. I think I was in a real slump and FUNK!

        Better starting words helps immensely.

    2. I’ve been tracking letters used since July 25. I don’t think I missed any days. I’ll keep,going for a while and am happy to share the numbers. That said, I created a set of the first two words a week or so ago using the most commonly used letters. They didn’t seem to help much at all. But it does give me something fun

        1. Good , I’ll be walking around all day so hoping for pristine weather & it’s looks like that’s what I’ll get , quick 24 hour trip

        1. That may be the case. But the news headlines are often incorrect.

          Like the “bee attack” in Ashland today. I can almost guarantee you those were not bees, but wasps.

          1. I’ve hated bees ever since I was stung by several as a child. I was helping family move a couch that was sitting in the backyard but apparently there was a nest inside the couch. The bees stung and then chased after us all the way back into the house and even hung around inside the house. I don’t remember what kind of bee it was.

          2. You are both correct. It’s been reported as a Catholic school. The kids were in church for a special service for the first day of school.

  11. My son told me of a FB post that read,
    “The weather just went from 90 to 65 like it saw a state trooper.”

    I am much amused! 🙂

  13. The instability associated with the trough is kicking off showers and a few t-storms, right on time. A few of them are a bit further south than expected, but the concentration in coverage is definitely north of I-90, which was also expected.

    No surprise here as I’ve been tracking this disturbance for a few days leading up to its arrival.

  14. Thank you TK.

    Lost power in one of our Plymouth branches due to a lightning strike in the area.

    1. I saw a couple briefly stronger cells there and got some lightning notifications. Those have since weakened and moved offshore. Those were the cells I was referring to with the statement “a little further south than expected”. Certainly unstable atmosphere and ever a chance to be a sunnier day today as we had 2 pretty solid troughs crossing – one early this morning, one now.

  15. I always have fun communicating with my contacts from the pyro company and the Hampton Beach Village District about the weather for their events.

    Gave them my opinion that it will be OK for the fireworks crew to arrive at 5:00 and start set-up for the final Wed night show of the summer! One more shower area to the WNW should be largely dissipated before it gets there, and would be done long before the show anyway.

    They just posted the announcement they will be going on with the show, rather than moving to the Friday “rain date”, which actually looks more unsettled that today anyway.

    1. I know first hand it is a really difficult decision. You have helped here successfully a few times.

      1. A fun challenge .. and definitely some difficult decisions to be made from time to time.

        They have one more small line nearing the NH Seacoast. I think a new cell that just formed goes north of the beach, one goes just south of the beach, and the one lined up for the beach itself dissipates before arrival.

        1. Just chatted with Paul. It’s a busy weekend.

          Last October here it wasn’t weather but was the drought

    2. I’m glad SOMEBODY finally did that. If they were gonna dwell on the negative, it’s nice to see it done the other way for a change. Not that the stat means anything in a climatological record sense, because nature doesn’t care what day of the week it is, but it’s one of those fun stats I don’t mind seeing.
