BLOG TEST THEME #5: Twenty-Fifteen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the 5th of 8 layouts in the test run. Please continue to comment on the layouts as we go along. Don’t hold back, even if you hate it. I didn’t make these up, and some of them I am definitely not a fan of at all. This one, however, may be my favorite so far (close between yesterday’s and today’s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The muggies are back. After a very warm to hot but dry day Thursday, the frontal boundary that’s become the relative that won’t go home has shifted its position back to the north, putting our region back into the humid air again, and it will stay this way into Saturday. We had one round of scattered showers and a few thunderstorms around dawn, which is moving out as of the time of this writing. During the day today, clouds should be dominant but some sun is possible as well, and it will be just unstable enough that a few isolated showers and storms may pop up, but I do expect most of the daylight hours to remain rain-free across most of southeastern New England. Tonight, the risk of showers and thunderstorms goes up again. There’s a bit of conflict on different guidance as to where the axis of most frequent and heaviest activity will be, with the majority favoring the I-95 belt southeastward, so I’ll also lean in this direction. Timing is also variable, and will depend on when and where activity develops upstream during the day. This should clear out of the region before dawn Saturday, and then we have one more shot at a shower or thunderstorm along a cold front which will cut through the region from west to east from late morning through mid afternoon. Behind this front, we’ll see a dew point drop as drier air moves in from Canada, but the position of high pressure will turn wind a little more northeasterly and keep coastal areas cooler during Sunday. Colder air aloft will also incite additional cloudiness and perhaps a few showers, especially near a minor convergence zone between northeasterly coastal winds and winds a little more northerly over interior areas. So I’d love to tell you Sunday will be a stellar day, but I cannot. That will wait for Monday, when high pressure, still to the north, will be met with more stable air above and we’ll see wall-to-wall sunshine but continued cooler than average temperatures. It will warm up a little bit as high pressure hangs on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Any early showers\/thunderstorms moving out. Isolated additional showers\/thunderstorms possible, mainly mid afternoon on. Humid. Highs 70-77 South Coast, 78-85 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely mainly after 10PM with greatest chance I-95 southeastward. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Risk of showers and thunderstorms mainly late morning and midday west of I-95 and midday to late afternoon from I-95 southeastward. Humid. Highs 76-83. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Less humid. Lows 55-62. Wind NW up to 10 MPH shifting to NE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of showers. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 inland Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 50-57. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 48-55. Wind N under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 73-80. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advancing warmer air and higher humidity means more cloudiness but limited rain chances June 10-11, then a better chance of showers and possible thunderstorms as a frontal system approaches and passes through during June 12-13. It still looks like the main moisture from whatever is left of T.S. Cristobal (expected to move from the Gulf of Mexico into the central US) moves into Canada and misses this area, which is in need of significant rain. Dry weather is expected with lower humidity by the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure dominant in eastern Canada and weak systems in the US indicates a drier and slightly cooler than average pattern for our region for mid June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
