DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 2-6)

High pressure slides offshore and provides continued fair weather with a warming trend through midweek. However there is still some upper troughing in the area that will allow some diurnal cloud development each day. We’ll also see batches of high and mid level clouds scoot across the sky this morning and again tonight, and some increase in clouds from an approaching frontal system later Thursday. As we get to Friday and Saturday we’ll find ourselves in a more humid southwesterly air flow with one front washing out as it tries to move in on Friday, causing only a few showers around there region that day, and a second front pushing through at some point Saturday, timing uncertain, with an additional shower chance. At this point, coverage of shower activity looks rather limited and much of the time looks rain-free.

TODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 73-80, coolest coast. Wind S to SE up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Fog patches low elevations. Lows 53-60. Wind S under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 74-81. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear to partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 55-62. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 58-65. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers including the slight chance of a thunderstorm. Dew point 60+. Highs 76-83. Lows 61-68. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 7-11)

Clouds and a slight shower chance lingers into September 7 but with a cooling / drying trend. High pressure builds in with dry, cooler weather early next week, then sinks to the south with a slight warm-up midweek.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)

Modest warm-up early period then a cooling trend follows. Unclear on unsettled potentials but leaning toward two brief chances in an otherwise mainly dry pattern.

  6. Observations on my long run this morning:

    – It’s very dry; stress foliage is appearing early (perhaps as a result of the drought)

    – There’s still a lot of pollen in the air (I can’t seem to shake autoimmune reactions this year, on both sides of the Atlantic)

    – At least some of the red-winged blackbirds have departed; clusters of them at the edge of the Esplanade lagoon are gone

  7. We don’t know how this year will unfold for the Tar Heels. A bad loss to begin the season isn’t the end of the world. BUT I do think that we can question Bill Belichick’s judgment. And I’m not talking about this particular game (the one last night). From drafting to coaching, his final few years in New England were subpar, and that’s being charitable. Now, he’s transitioned to coaching at the college level where it’s a different game and style. Can an older man learn the new trade? Yes. But is he perhaps past his prime? Also, yes. There have been many instances of athletes and coaches not knowing when to hang them up (cleats for athletes; hoodies for Belichick). A girlfriend 50 years younger than he isn’t going to help revitalize him in the coaching department.

  8. Thanks, TK!

    I have such a weird feeling this morning. This morning is the first September morning in 60 consecutive years (1965, when I was just five years old) that I am not in a classroom in one capacity or another.

    It is so strange.

    Tom, Julie, JimmyB, Dave, JPD’s daughter and any fellow educators that I might be missing, I am wishing you a safe, happy, rewarding and blessed school year! 🙂

    2. Hugs to you as I sure understand how strange it must feel.

      I share your wishes for all teachers to have a great year

    3. I’m sure this morning must have been strange, Captain.

      Hope you have fun going forward, I’m envious.

    1. I’m glad to see your streak continues!

      I was lucky today that the first letter on my first guess was in the right place. Without that, there would have been a lot of guessing. I got it in 3.

      1. Excellent!!!
        My starting word only revealed one letter in the wrong position. My 2nd word got me that letter in the correct position. Tough going from there. There is no one word
        that will always yield a bonanza!!

    2. I’m in a slump. 6 again for me.

      Excellent SClarke and JPD. JPD, I am so glad you stuck with it. Great job.

  10. Forbes resets the 1st of the month in terms of 4 free articles. So, if you’re interested, you can now read my first 4 articles this month (September). Scroll down on the link below and you’ll find them. They’re on cuts to mRNA vaccine development; rising health insurance premiums; ousting of CDC director and other top officials; Covid-19 vaccine eligibility and access. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/

  14. Joshua, CVS pharmacies in MA are not offering the Covid-19 vaccine to anyone, regardless of age. Any thoughts on this? I heard that cases have ticked up a bit.

  15. It appears that our “dry” consecutive Saturdays may be coming to an end this weekend. We will see.

  16. IMO all schools should begin after Labor Day, not the last week of August. Fortunately we were in an unusually nice, comfortable temperature pattern.

    1. I tend to agree. But many school systems have added Jewish holidays which I agree with. I wonder too if there are more snow days now

      2. As a parent I wanted to run away and take my kids. I hated starting before Labor Day. But then I also hated going late into June

    3. Woburn will not go before Labor Day.

      First day for teachers is today (and they get 2 days to set up and get ready). First day for students is Thursday, with a 2-day week to get them back into the feel of it, then pick up full swing next week.

      1. That’s the way school schedules should be. I believe Boston is like that as well, unless they have changed since I moved. Don’t know about here in Quincy.

        1. This would not be popular for many, but I also think they should do away with homework, at least loading on as much as they do.

          School time is for school. It shouldn’t follow us home anymore than work should.

          2. Now there is a concept that I fully support.
            Not just the nightly one, but I can’t tell you how many VACATIONS were RUINED by freaken home work or projects due upon return. Vacations are vacations from school. Screw the home work!!!!!!!

            1. I’m on year 4 or 5 not giving homework.

              My students do great says the data from I-ready and MCAS.

              The parent in me, watching my daughters stress over homework with after school activities made me switch.

              I have colleagues who give the first 10 minutes of class tracking down the homework, etc. 10 mins in, I’ve had the students try another 5 new problems.

              Kids know in modules I set up, where they can attain extra practice at home, if they want it.

  18. CPC 6-10 & 8-14 continue the below normal temp theme.
    They have also really taken a lot of the above away on their week 3-4 and one-month outlooks. A lot cooler look than previously, though they have had a vicious warm bias anyway. Originally just a month or two ago they had a pretty high probability of above normal for all of our area for August & September. Nope! Need to ease back on the warm bias a tad. Had it since the 1990s. Hard habit to break I guess (Chicago song pun intended). 😉

  19. Wordle: 6

    Ready to go tomorrow, I think 🙂

    It never goes how you plan.

    22nd year and I’ll take the first few months of this school year to determine if it will be the last. If I do leave the classroom, I still plan to work at least part time going forward. Teaching middle school is for the young. Oh, I still love it, but it requires so much energy beyond teaching the subject content, which is the somewhat easier part.

    1. Late summer monsoonal moisture t-storms … a lot of lightning-sparked fires in CA early this week.

  21. An incredible and ludicrous statement from a TV met.

    This AM I heard a TV met say that there is a 60% chance of rain on Thursday and a 40% on Friday, therefore there is a 100% chance of rain. To those with a statistical background, i can hear you cringing.

  22. Longshot, thanks for posting what you heard from a TV met. Talk about statistical illiteracy. Wow!

    I am not a math wiz, BUT I think about numbers all of the time. During my long jogs, I’ll crunch numbers in my head. Usually related to my field of health economics. I probably look like a mad scientist, as I’ll catch myself mumbling these numbers from time to time. It’s so apt that I do this while running adjacent to the MIT campus.

    2. To Joshua:

      There is a great deal of distance between facts and truth as well as knowledge and wisdom. Anyone can present statistical facts but certainly they can be far from explaining the truth. Anyone can can have knowledge of a situation, but do they have wisdom of the outcome.

      At least you think about the numbers. Many just post them.

          1. They continue to drive me crazy!

            Roman Anthony got hurt, on a check swing no less. Until this team “mathematically” clinches the playoffs, I will continue to be uneasy.

            1. How are they driving you crazy? They’ve been playing great baseball. 🙂 They’ve won 3 straight. They have a solid winning record. I’m perplexed. Hah!

              1. They lose to crappy teams at home, especially. As long as they continue that “solid record” then yes, they’ll be fine. 🙂

                I just fear that it wouldn’t take much of a losing streak to be out of playoff contention just as easily. Sorry, I can’t help my uneasy feeling.
