DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure’s greatest impact on our region yesterday was clouds and wind, and not the beneficial rain we were looking for. In fact, most of the WHW forecast area received traces to feeble measurable amounts (0.01 inch at Boston, for example). This provided no help in reducing the drought, which will now build further as we enter another stretch of dry weather. First, a few very light showers are crossing northern MA and southern NH to start the day today, around the circulation of the departing low pressure area, a pretty strong storm for this time of year despite having failed us on rain. We’ll see a clearing trend which has already worked across the South Coast continue to expand northward, though as the storm’s clouds depart, some fair-weather clouds will likely pop up in response to the sun’s return and the cool air aloft, so we may not really see complete clearing until tonight, when high pressure starts to build in. This high will provide us with a fair and much warmer day Friday, with lower humidity, and the high will continue to keep us fair through the weekend. Saturday will feature the brightest sun and still-manageable humidity. Sunday you’ll notice some cloudiness filtering the sun in response to low pressure to our west and south, and also an up-tick in humidity as the high center will be offshore. By Monday, the door will be open for the chance of showers and noticeably humid air, though this time the temperatures will be kept in check and we won’t heat up like our recent hot stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
