DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 28 – SEPTEMBER 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early this morning a stratus blanket sits over much of the region but this has already been eroding from east to west so that many eastern MA and RI areas as well as the NH Seacoast are seeing sunshine, and this is progressing inland with time and this general trend will continue. Although a few clouds may be stubborn in some areas and others can redevelop in the form of cumulus clouds as the sun’s heating increases, similar to yesterday. All in all, we end up with a sun\/cloud mix but a rather nice day, thanks to high pressure centered to our east. This high will slip southward into the “Bermuda High” position to start off the week, so our heat and humidity levels will increase Monday into Tuesday, but not close to the levels of previous hot spells this summer. Also, it will be rather short-lived as a cold front approaches and passes through the region between late Tuesday and midday Wednesday, based on current expected timing. This timing is limiting for showers and thunderstorms, with most activity during the day Tuesday to our west and north, diminishing before it arrives in this area, and most of Wednesday’s activity firing up to our east if the front is quick enough, and possibly over southeastern NH, eastern MA, and RI if the front is just a little slower, with activity favoring the morning and midday. Today’s forecast update will take into account either possibility and then of course it will be fine-tuned as we get closer with the help of short-range guidance early in the week. Thursday is the first day of September and on cue a Canadian high pressure area will deliver us a fresh air mass from our neighbors to the north, for the first day of meteorological autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure is expected to dominate with fair weather and a slow warming trend from September 2-5 which includes all of Labor Day Weekend. A frontal boundary may get closer with higher humidity and a shower threat by the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A frontal boundary may be close by early in the period with a shower threat, then high pressure takes over with another stretch of fair weather, starting cooler than warming up. We may have to watch the waters to our south and\/or southeast for a tropical system out there by later in the period as there are signs of a little more activity in the tropics in the days to come and somewhat more reliable medium range guidance has been putting systems out there around that time. At this time of year it’s always necessary to pay attention to this regardless of how quiet or active the season has been thus far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
