DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 26-30)
High pressure provides a “top 10” kind of summer day today with plenty of sun, manageable humidity, and fairly light wind, and while it won’t be a hot day, it won’t be nearly too cool to do stuff outside. Enjoy! (I will, it’s the first day of a 6-day weekend for me.) Some patchy clouds move through tonight marking the exit of high pressure offshore and the return of a more humid southwesterly air flow which will be noticed on Thursday. A disturbance approaching from the west can trigger a shower or thunderstorm, particularly over inland areas, late Thursday afternoon. This disturbance will then cross the region overnight to early Friday with clouds and shower chances, maybe a few thunderstorms in the mix too. A cold front still has to cross the region on Friday and can ignite a few more showers and storms, particularly in southeastern NH, eastern MA, and RI, in the midday to mid afternoon hours. This sets us up for a spectacular weekend with high pressure building in and giving us abundant sunshine, seasonable warmth, and low to moderate humidity.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85. Dew point heads for 60. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Fog patches. Lows 60-67. Dew point near 60. Wind SW under 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible mid afternoon on, favoring areas west of I-95. Highs 80-87. Dew point climbs into 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers with possible thunderstorms. Areas of fog. Lows 62-69. Dew point 60+. Wind SW to variable up to 10 MPH
FRIDAY: Lots of clouds, patchy fog, and a shower threat early. A sun / cloud mix follows with the chance of a shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon, favoring southeastern NH, eastern MA, and RI. Highs 78-85. Dew point 60+ but may fall later in the day. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 58-65. Dew point falls into 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point in 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Ground fog patches. Lows 57-64. Dew point in 50s. Wind W under 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85. Dew point sub-60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 31 – SEPTEMBER 4)
Watching for a disturbance to bring a shower and t-storm chance August 31, depending on its timing. Additional showers possible September 1-2 with a trough moving through the region, followed by fair weather. Temperatures generally around normal.
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 5-9)
Window of opportunity for showers later September 5 to September 7, then fair weather returns. Temperatures generally around to a little above normal.

Wordle: fail
Learned a new word today.
I had all the letters in the correct spot save for the 3rd letter and none of words I went with took.
That’s ok, tomorrow 🙂
Darn. Definitely not an easy word. They’ve been full of choices lately. Tomorrow
Wordle 3. One yellow in first guess. Lucky second guess, 3 green, 1 yellow.
That’s amazing with that word!
Agree. Amazing 3
Awesome !
Wow!!! great job
I’m jumping on with JPD and Bill. Tom, there is always room for more
Wordle 5
🙂
Well done!
Thank you, TK
68/61. Low of 56.
Please can we get rid of clouds on Thursday night. I should have a front row seat to the lunar eclipse through my livingroom window.
I, personally, really like this airmass.
Dps 58-60F, comfortable and summer feeling.
I’m not a fan of 40s and low 50s dps in summer, we have enough of that the rest of the year and when you have that, you get in the shade and it can feel chilly.
And these dps allow lows to get down to 60F, so again, comfortable but not chilly.
I have to disagree with you Tom. If we could get 40s/50s for dps ALL summer, I would love it! Unfortunately our proximity to the Bermuda highs is unrealistic to keep HHH away for an entire summer.
And I bet Mrs. JPD would agree with me as well. 🙂
I think so 🙂
Thanks TK
