Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we roll through the next-to-last weekend of August we’ve seen a return to higher humidity and somewhat more active weather. Showers and thunderstorms developed on Saturday, and while I was expecting mainly isolated afternoon activity, the atmosphere decided it to be more appropriate to produce more scattered to even general activity in some areas, beginning in late morning northwest of Boston with the trend gradually moving south and east through the late afternoon hours. Today’s activity should, in theory, develop a bit later with a focus a little further north, with the majority of the activity expected to occur from mid afternoon to mid evening and north of I-90. But convection can be rather unpredictable, and just outflow boundaries from mere showers can be enough to kick off activity in areas that you expected to remain quiet. So with that in mind, while the focus is north, the chance exists anywhere. The process will repeat again on Monday with a weak frontal boundary still in the area. On Tuesday, a stronger cold front will cross the region from northwest to southeast, providing yet another chance of showers and storms. Will try to pin down the exact timing as we get closer to this event. Tuesday night and Wednesday, a Canadian air mass will arrive with dry and somewhat cooler air, ushered in by a gusty breeze. A warm front will approach the region Thursday with some clouds moving in, but it looks like it will remain dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
