DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure slides offshore east of New England today and tries to hold on but gradually loses its grip through midweek. The air flow around the high and ahead of a slowly approaching trough from the west will be southeast to south, allowing the humidity and shower chances to increase, although the chance of any rainfall for one specific location at any given time will still be quite low through the daylight hours of Thursday. It is when the frontal system associated with the trough from the west gets closer that the shower chance will increase to more likely and more widespread, and right now the timing of this is favoring later Thursday night through the middle of the day Friday. Again there remains some differences in fairly reliable guidance, with some moving the showers out by late Friday and at least one model holding the shower threat in our region into the start of the weekend. Leaning toward the drying trend late Friday. This is a more optimistic outlook for drier weather for Saturday, but not high confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on the low confidence at the end of the 5-day period the confidence in this portion of the outlook remains low as well. Current idea is that a trough from the west and accompanying cold front will bring a shower chance on September 26 then drier and cooler weather September 27-28. After that we have to keep an eye out for a bit of a blocking pattern with high pressure to the north and low pressure to the south or southwest. Assuming this pattern evolves, whether we are on the drier side with high pressure in control or wetter side with the low pressure area in control remains to be seen. So the end-of-month weather is highly uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This forecast segment also remains low confidence as we’ve seen a couple different scenarios depicted by guidance during the last few days for early October. The idea previously was for more westerly flow. Today’s guidance suggests a continuation of a slower-moving blocked type pattern. For now I’m leaning toward the west-to-east flow idea over the slower movement setup, with high pressure in control more often than not, with fairly dry weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
