Continuing to fine-tune the details of the unsettled portion of our Labor Day Weekend, and after a beautiful Saturday, we’ll have another generally beautiful day today, just warmer and a little more humid than yesterday. Exception: by late in the day some isolated shower and thunderstorm activity can pop up to the west of the I-95 belt, and much of this will wait until near or even after sunset to start showing up, as it is more dynamically driven than diurnally driven as a weak cold front moves through from north to south. Even so, the diurnal heating having played some role, being absent in the later evening will allow the initial activity to diminish. It will be during Monday morning that a wave will be forming and moving our way along the slow-moving front, largely having passed by the region at that point, so we’ll end up with a cooler, but still humid day on Monday with increasing coverage of showers and embedded heavier rain. My biggest tweak on this update is to move the timing of the most numerous showers up from Monday afternoon through early Tuesday to a midday to mid evening Monday, sealing the deal that Monday is far less favorable for any outdoor activities than the 2 days that preceded it. However, many standard long weekends largely leave Monday as a day to have a nice breakfast then drive home from wherever the destination was. So the rainfall will have more impact on the “holiday commute home” than anything else. Any rain we do get is obviously still much-needed with our ongoing and continuing drought. Sadly, many models and some media maps still paint pictures of more widespread 1-inch-or-greater rainfall amounts than I think we will ultimately see across the region, but we will see, and we’ll take whatever we can get. Improvement is now expected on Tuesday as the wave of low pressure exits early and pulls the frontal boundary further south. High pressure then builds in with great weather for the middle of the coming week – mild and dry Wednesday with a breeze with the high center still to the northwest, less wind and a bit warmer Thursday as the high shifts over the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sun\/cloud mix. Late-day isolated showers and thunderstorms possible west of I-95. Highs 81-88, a little cooler along the South Coast. Dew point upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy with isolated thunderstorms in the evening, favoring southwestern NH and central MA. Variably cloudy with scattered showers overnight. Areas of fog forming late night. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind SW shifting to N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY \u2013 LABOR DAY: Cloudy. Scattered showers becoming numerous by midday on with embedded heavier downpours. Areas of fog, especially early in the day. Highs 68-75, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Showers likely evening, diminishing overnight. Areas of fog. Lows 58-65. Dew point upper 50s-60. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Clouds break for sun. Areas of fog early. Highs 71-78. Dew point falling to 50s. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 51-58. Dew point near 50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 68-75. Dew point near 50. Wind N-NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Areas of ground fog overnight. Lows 48-55. Dew point upper 40s. Wind N under 10 MPH becoming variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 75-82. Dew point rising into 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure shifts to the south with fair weather and temperatures warming to above normal late week into if not through the weekend. Current expecting timing brings the next trough and frontal boundary in early the following week with a chance of showers at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall pattern looks dry with variable but near to above normal temperatures as high pressure is the main driver of the weather in our region. Probably one shot of briefly unsettled weather with a frontal boundary but not really possible to time it this far in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
