Wrap-around moisture behind departing low pressure gives us an unsettled day today, and the cloud cover will keep us on the cool side as well. Improvement arrives late tonight and leads to a nicer day Wednesday as a narrow ridge of high pressure moves across the region. But look out! Here comes a strong cold front Thursday morning, accompanied by showers and possible thunderstorms. This will pass by and then dry weather returns, but this time with the bluster and cool-down of autumn later Thursday, just in time for the autumnal equinox Thursday evening. Friday and Saturday will feature fair weather and below normal temperatures as Canadian air is delivered on the eastern side of high pressure. Something further away will be impacting our region late this week, and that is Hurricane Fiona, which is forecast to track west of Bermuda late Thursday and then accelerate northeastward in the waters well east of New England Friday before heading into southeastern Canada Saturday. Large swells and rough surf will result, impacting any coastal plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure to the west of the region shifts to the south of the region with a bit warmer air arriving September 25, but we may also see the advance of clouds before the end of that day with a warm front approaching the region. This will be ahead of the next trough and low pressure system which is expected to bring a round of showery weather on September 26. Unsettled may linger to September 27 as well but the trend will be for a return to cool\/dry weather middle to later next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 30 \u2013 OCTOBER 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now expecting high pressure to be the dominant force with fair weather and moderating temperatures, but we may need to watch for unsettled weather arriving later in the period, possibly in the form of remnant tropical moisture. A lot of uncertainty in this part of the outlook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
