DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The now post tropical remains of Ida will present themselves as a mass of tropical moisture riding along and over a frontal boundary with a strengthening area of low pressure later today through early Thursday, the low center tracking near or over Cape Cod. This path and set-up is good for a widespread heavy rainfall event from later today to early Thursday morning, resulting in areas of flooding. Travel will be impacted for a number of hours and even into Thursday after the rain ends as it will take a while for things to dry out. Wind will be only a minor issue as the intensifying system moves by and pulls away, but even some moderate wind gusts can be enough to result in power outages due to wet and already stressed trees on saturated ground and their ability to damage power lines. Drier air will be coming into the region behind the departing system for the remainder of Thursday and into Friday on a northwesterly air flow, and the air will be just unstable enough on Friday for the potential for a few isolated diurnal showers to develop, but most of the region stays rain-free. Looking into the Labor Day Weekend, high pressure brings dry and pleasant weather Saturday, and the next system’s arrival is going to be a little sooner than I was anticipating previously, so look for clouds and a shower chance Sunday morning-midday as a warm front passes through, and just a chance of a shower or thunderstorm in a few locations later Sunday or Sunday night after we’re briefly in a warm wedge of air and a cold front approaches as low pressure passes north of our region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
