Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One more hot day with high humidity, which will be sliced into by a cold front moving quickly northwest to southeast across the region during the afternoon. While there may be a few pop up isolated showers and\/or thunderstorms ahead of this front, the front itself will also bring a chance of showers and storms, some of which may be locally severe. The front may struggle to produce widespread coverage on the activity, so some locations could be missed entirely by the activity. But don’t count on that – keep an eye out, especially if you have plans to be outside. By tonight, a cooler and drier air mass will be arriving and you’ll notice that on Wednesday with a fresh northwesterly breeze and very low dew points – an autumn preview. But that doesn’t last, as a low pressure disturbance moves rapidly southeastward out of Canada and across New England during Thursday. This day ends up being a tricky forecast as we’ll have a warm front trying to cross the region in advance of the disturbance, and it’s a little uncertain how far eastward that boundary will get. This will be important to determine both high temperatures and the strength of possible thunderstorms that could occur near and just on the warm air side of the boundary, which will push southward again later in the day as the low pressure wave goes by. So there is going to be some fine-tuning to do with that part of the forecast during the next couple of blog updates. By Friday, a weak area of high pressure will be in control and that looks like a decent late summer day. The next wildcard day is Saturday as we have another disturbance to contend with – timing uncertain, and moisture content also uncertain as it may be infused with some tropical moisture from the remnants of Marco & Laura from the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 30 \u2013 SEPTEMBER 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure moves back in with fair and dry weather August 30 & 31. High pressure shifts offshore and a frontal boundary sets up to the west, probably far enough west for mostly dry weather and a warm-up during the first few days of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure offshore strengthens early in the period with above normal temperatures but some risk of a few showers and thunderstorms as well. A frontal boundary in the region may bring the risk for showers during mid period before drier air arrives at the end of the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
