Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall preview today with an invigorating Canadian air mass flowing across the region, marked by a gusty breeze and extremely dry air. But it’s going to be short-lived, as humidity starts its climb back, first with the arrival of a warm front and disturbance on Thursday. That warm front may struggle to make much progress through the region due to a wave of low pressure on it, and this will lead to a shower threat. There is the possibility of strong thunderstorms for any areas that get into the warm air behind the front, or even right along the front itself, but as it stands now, with the front’s progression likely to be limited, the heavier storms may occur mainly south and west of the WHW forecast area, over western CT westward into NY and southward into PA. However we should monitor this in case this threat does make its way further east. Once the disturbance moves away and pulls the boundary away with it, a weak area of high pressure will build in for Friday, which will be a nice summer day other than higher humidity and a risk of a pop up shower or thunderstorm. On Saturday, expect high humidity and a good chance of showers and storms as a disturbance moves through, and tropical moisture from the remains of Hurricane Laura may enhance the rainfall potential here, but that remains to be seen. This will be fine-tuned as we watch the progress of that system. When we get to Sunday, another push of dry Canadian air will arrive as high pressure builds across the Great Lakes and eastern Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 31 \u2013 SEPTEMBER 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure brings fair, dry, pleasant weather to end the month of August, then shifts offshore with temperatures warming to above normal during the first several days of September. One or two fronts will try to get close but may never completely make it through the region, so there will probably will be some cloudiness at times along with a few shower threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The general patterns should feature high pressure in control most of the time aloft with weak frontal systems trying to push through, resulting in above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
