DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 30 \u2013 SEPTEMBER 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We start today out humid, overcast, foggy in some areas, with drizzle and scattered showers, even a few downpours. A band of rain and embedded thunderstorms located in southern VT, far western MA, and eastern NY as of 7 a.m. represents a frontal boundary that will push eastward, with the rain and thunderstorms sweeping through the WHW forecast area from west to east later this morning into the early portion of the afternoon, exiting the main eastern shore (NH Seacoast to MA South Coast) by 2 or 3 p.m., of course taking longest to get by Cape Cod, which may miss the widest rain area but still experience some scattered showers\/storms until late afternoon. The exit of this front represents the end of a long weather pattern of frequent shower\/rain episodes, as we will enter a long stretch of generally dry weather starting tonight and lasting into (and likely through) the upcoming Labor Day Weekend. I have been watching in the medium range the possibility of an old frontal boundary sliding into the region and maybe triggering an isolated shower or thunderstorm around the middle of the weekend, while this possibility will still be there (Sunday), it’s a very low chance and may end up non-existent by the time we actually get there. For now it sits in the forecast, but don’t let it alter your weekend plans other than just keeping the remote chance in the back of your mind. We will have comfortably dry and slightly cooler than normal air around for the final day of August on Thursday, followed by a gradual warming trend as we head through the first 4 days of September from Friday through Monday. Humidity levels will start to come up as we get deeper into the weekend, but they will remain below really uncomfortable levels. Once again a reminder that offshore Hurricane Franklin while passing well to our southeast and east will create large swells and rough surf from today to about Friday. Combined with higher super moon tides, this can enhance coastal flooding, in addition to the higher rip current risk and rough conditions at beaches and in coastal waters. Use caution \/ be aware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast through midday \/ early afternoon with areas of fog, drizzle, and isolated to scattered showers, some with brief downpours, then an area of widespread showers and thunderstorms moving through from west to east, but may be numerous to scattered closer to the South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure slides offshore with a more humid set-up, eventually a chance of showers as a frontal boundary moves into the region around mid period, with temperatures rising to above normal for a few days before Canadian high pressure brings a push of cooler\/drier air to end the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The general idea continues to be for a west northwest flow here with limited rain and near to above normal temperatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
