DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High humidity does more than make the air feel sticky. This morning it has a lot of the region enshrouded in fog and low clouds, which will dissipate as the sun climbs higher into the sky. However some of the low cloudiness may hang on longer in some valley and coastal areas as the temperature \/ dew point stay closer together lower in those locations. Also, a fan of higher cloudiness above will limit the sun’s power so the process may be slower anyway. The bottom line is that today will not be as sunny a day as yesterday was. Also, other than parts of far southern New England under a blanket of clouds late yesterday, some may have noticed a hazier appearance to the sky later yesterday leading to an atypical sky hue at sunset. That was caused by smoke in high altitudes from western US wildfires. This is not highly unusual at all for our region during fire seasons of both Canada and the western US, and we will probably see more of this in the weeks ahead. But getting back to local weather, the high humidity will be hanging around through Thursday. I am going to undercut guidance rainfall coverage and numbers and just go for a few areas of showers during the day Thursday, favoring areas south of I-90, and a broken to scattered band of showers and possible thunderstorms that crosses the region from northwest to southeast at the end of the day and early at night from a cold front passing through the region. This will put an end to the higher humidity for a couple days, along with bringing cooler air into the region for Friday and Saturday. While clouds may linger Friday morning, especially for southern areas, expect plenty of sun to eventually dominate and another mainly sunny day Saturday – great for late summer outdoor activities. By Sunday, the humidity comes back a little bit as we are on the “return-flow” side of high pressure and another frontal system approaches from the west. Once again I believe a lot of our computer guidance may be overdoing the rainfall potential here, and also moving the front in a little too quickly, so my forecast will reflect weaker and slower timing – basically Sunday looks not-too-bad to me at the moment. But I can’t say I have the highest confidence in that forecast so please check for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
