September’s home stretch is upon us and we look at its final 5 days here. And it looks like a fairly quiet and mainly dry stretch of weather for us. A warm front went by the region last evening, kicking off a decent patch of showers and thunderstorms in southern CT, RI, and southeastern MA. Today and Tuesday we will have an elongated trough of low pressure centered to our west, and it will be fairly mild with a southwesterly air flow dominating. The only chance of any rainfall comes in the form of spotty, quick-moving showers that may cross some areas later today to early this evening. The trough swings eastward and we see a cooling trend with a shift to a more northwesterly flow during midweek, and as surface high pressure builds in we’ll have a fabulous ending to the month late this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The forecast for a good portion of this period hinges upon the future movement of the remains of Hurricane Ian in the Gulf of Mexico. The possibilities range from wet weather arriving over the October 1-2 weekend to wet weather arriving after the weekend to wet weather never arriving (the third case being one where everything gets shunted to our south). Right now, I’m leaning toward the second and third scenario options with a dry weekend and chance of rain, that may stay south, following that. Much refining of this forecast to come…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is still a lower confidence forecast based on the uncertainty that precedes it, but leaning toward a dry pattern and variable temperatures including another shot or 2 of very cool air from Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
