DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After 2 days of unsettled weather the WHW forecast area has ended up with a pretty uneven rainfall distribution, and there is no real surprise about that. This is the nature of convective precipitation, and in a case where some of it was very heavy and occurred over similar areas during 2 days, some amounts were very heavy, 5+ inches in some cases, while other areas came away with modest amounts of under 1 inch. So in spot locations, flooding aside, we’ve seen some solid drought relief. Unfortunately, it was not regionwide relief, so we will still find ourselves in drought in general, and will need several more good episodes of precipitation going forward to lift us out of this drought – something that, as previously stated – needs time. You don’t want it all at once as it often does lead to flooding issues and other problems. But we got what we got, where we got it, and now we move on… Fair weather and the feel of summer returns over the next couple days. Today it warms up and is still a little on the humid side to start with drier air to come later. We still have a fair amount of clouds around to start, but these will reduce. However the atmosphere remains just unstable enough that a pop up shower or two can’t be ruled out mainly across interior locations, favoring north of I-90, this afternoon. As high pressure gains control, Thursday ends up quite warm but even less humid. A weak warm front may send some cloudiness into the region later Thursday and cannot rule out a shower at night with the front, leading to a summery day on Friday in the warm sector ahead of an approaching cold front. There’s still a few days to fine-tune the timing on that front but we will end up with a shower or thunderstorm threat from it, right now leaning toward late-day or evening\/night and north and west of Boston, weakening as it pushes east and southeast through the early hours of Saturday, setting up what looks like a decent final weekend of August. High pressure’s position to our north would bring us somewhat cooler air and low humidity for Saturday then a slight up-tick in humidity as the high slides to a position east of New England by Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early indications are for high pressure to dominate much of this period with dry weather, starting seasonable then warming up. Maybe a little unsettled weather during the cooler to warmer transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
