DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)

A low pressure area that brought some heavy rain and areas of flooding to portions of the southern Middle Atlantic Coast will be weakening as it heads northeastward, passing southeast of our region through Thursday. While this system will provide varying amounts of cloudiness, its only rainfall offering will be in the form of a few showers near the South Coast tonight and early Thursday with no help for our ongoing and expanding drought. Friday, a sharp cold front moves through from north to south, but the timing on that front is such that it will allow Friday to be the warmest day of this week ahead of the arrival of a much cooler air mass for the weekend. The front will produce no showers, only some clouds, as it passes through. High pressure will deliver plenty of sunshine for the days of the weekend.

TODAY: Limited sun / lots of cloudiness. Highs 66-73, coolest coast. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH except 10-20 MPH by late day Outer Cape Cod.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Isolated to scattered showers South Coast overnight. Lows 51-58. Wind E to NE up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Lots of clouds through midday region-wide including a morning shower chance South Coast. Increasing sun west to east afternoon. Highs 72-79. Wind variable to SW up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 52-59. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 75-82. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, shifting to NW.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 47-54. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 63-70. Wind N 5-15 MPH, diminishing late.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 38-45 inland low elevations, 45-52 elsewhere – mildest in urban centers. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-72. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)

The Autumnal Equinox signals the start of fall at 2:19 p.m. September 22. That day and the day after look fair and mild with high pressure offshore. Watching for a shower chance middle of next week with the next frontal system, followed by fair and cooler weather later in the week.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 27 – OCTOBER 1)

Leaning dry, seasonable, though some variation and maybe 1 or 2 brief shower chances during this period. Still a low confidence forecast period.

      1. I fell off the end of the world this morning.

        6 for me. Yes a 6 !!!!!!!!!!!!
        On an easy word like that!!!

        !@(+)#*)(!@*#)(!@&#()*!@()#$Y*(!@&*#(^#&*($^(*!@&$#*(&!(*#$&(!*$&*(!&(*@$&(*!&$(!*@$&*(!@&$*(^!@$(&)*^!(*@&$*(!&@$*(!@&*($&!*(@$&(*!@$*(&!(@*$&(*!@$*(&!@(*$&(*!@&$*(&!@*($&*(!@&$*(!@&$*(&!(*@$&(*!@&

    2. I just looked at wordle bot. I had one letter in my first word guess. Bot said that left me with 3,200 possible choices. I’m not sure how it arrives at that number. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems the odds of getting a word in six or under are pretty low.

  11. The Red Sox had better wake up fast starting this evening and concentrate on winning these last two games so they can at least win the series with the A’s.

    Every game is a must game from here on out. They better get into that mindset.

    1. My guess is they go into every game with that mindset. Sadly, you just cannot expect a win for every single game.

      1. I certainly don’t expect every single game, but enough to get into the playoffs on their own without assistance from other teams.

        Regardless they have now put themselves in the position of playing their playoff games on the road. I have heard it’s either at the Yankees or Seattle.

        2. They are not eliminated from home field….far from it. Nothing is set in stone yet. Heck, they could still win the division. And if they do end up on the road for the Wild Card – so what? You just need to win 2 out of 3. It shouldn’t matter where you play if your team is good enough.

    2. They are in the mindset. But sometimes the other team just plays a better game. Last night, that happened. The better team in the game won the game. They can’t dwell on that. It’s on to the next one. Same mentality.

      1. Funny how the red sox pitcher who was doing so well, was removed. Then they lost the game.

        Analytics controlling the game? What did he throw, 80 pitches, I think he could have gone another inning or 2.

        These are the type of things that drive me crazy!!!

        Oh well

        1. Bad move by Cora. I guess he asn’t learned? Really though, the offense did not nothing to help. They won’t last unless their offense picks it up. Will they? Not so sure as it’s the end of the season and their tired.

          1. Have you applied for the job yet? After all, you seem to know better than Cora how to handle the pitching staff.

            News Flash – every team is tired at this point in the season. They’re also all dealing with all sorts of injuries, both minor and major.

          2. I hear ya, Chris.

            I think that move is a concern for the long term also.

            They know how much these young pitchers have pitched per game in the minors, and though it’s a crucial moment in this season, they also have to worry about a pitcher’s arm long term.

            As a fan, it’s difficult to understand that in the short term. Doesn’t help that the reliever immediately comes in, isn’t effective and gives the lead up.

            I support the move and I support Cora. I think he’s done a lot with a team that has a very average lineup (with Anthony), has 3 dependable/excellent starters and does not have that 6th/7th inning guy in the bullpen. It’s hope the starter can go 7, then hand it off to Whitlock and Chapman.

  15. I’m in considerable disagreement with NHC (warranted disagreement by the way). Why?

    Elongated low pressure with no clear center – “a few swirls of low pressure” (their own words) is NOT a tropical storm. Gabrielle has been named, but is not a TS yet. It will be, eventually, but in the name of accuracy, they have made a really significant error here. Disappointed.

    And that thing that nailed the US East Coast yesterday should have been talked about by them. It was not “non-tropical”. I’m not nearly the only meteorologist who believes that.

    1. 1) It’s not even a tropical storm (even though they called it one). See my comment just above. They’re very wrong on this one.

      2) It does not have a healthy future. The hostility that awaits it will prevent it from reaching the potential NHC has outlined.

      Applied meteorology was used to arrive at both of those statements.

  17. This is from a colleague of mine regarding “Gabby”…

    “No way Gabrielle qualifies as a tropical system. It has multiple centers and the overall center is a elongated. That does not fit the definition of a well defined center that NHC mentions a lot to start a system.
    There’s a little jet streak over the center and a ton of dry air getting ingested from the W from a trough.
    All the convection is well northeast and if you look at the WV loop, the way the outflow fans to the east ET structure!”

    Yep, colleague is 100% on the money here. That system is not a tropical storm currently. By definition. Not even a debate available to have on this one.

            1. I did, and pretty much every colleague I talked to online did as well. I have no idea what NHC was doing. Their handling of stuff this season has become rather bizarre.

  18. The brief rain showers we had here on South Coast from the leftovers of this storm were certainly tropical. Wow it rained hard!

  19. Everything is very 2013ish over the Atlantic in nature, and therefor makes sense that the 2013/2014 winter is shaping up to be a decent analog. There are some doozy analogs for this upcoming winter. So far my analog years average out around 68 inches for Boston. Its early though so I am keeping my excitement down until later in October but currently things are looking good 🙂

      1. Talk to me in November about the winter. So much to figure out between now and then. 🙂
