DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can’t say I’m surprised that the original multi-day beneficial rain threat has dwindled to a “gee I hope we can get a few hours of rain enough to wet the ground at least” event. For reasons (model-wise and otherwise) that I have already talked about on this blog, while staying hopeful I wasn’t going to hold my breath on this being a significant event for all of us. However there will still be some areas that get benefit out of this, maybe up to 1\/2 inch of rain, favoring northeastern MA and southeastern NH, as mentioned on yesterday’s blog update. Elsewhere, I don’t hold out much hope for many areas seeing more than 1\/4 inch. In fact, there are enough thin spots in the overcast this morning that the sun is shining through it. With low pressure moving to the north, keeping a lot of its influence over the water to our east, hooking it back just enough to get the previously-mentioned areas with a little more rain later on, the forecast from yesterday remains pretty much unchanged. One other thing to watch today will be for some minor coastal flooding due to rough surf and some larger ocean swells. This will be most likely a couple hours either side of high tide. We’ll still be under the influence of the circulation of this low pressure area on Thursday as it pulls away, so expect a few morning showers possibly in southern NH and northern MA, otherwise a day of lots of clouds, limited sun, and a gusty breeze. High pressure then builds in with a return to the feel of summer Friday through the coming weekend. Humidity, while on the rise, will remain in check until later in the weekend when it will rise to more uncomfortable levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
