DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three unsettled days, a transition day, and a nice day with low humidity will be how this 5-day period unfolds. First, a nearly stationary front sits over the region today, like much of the weekend. Plenty of low level moisture has the region under lots of low clouds with areas of fog to start the day, but some of that will break and try to clear out, only to have clouds above that be dominant in association with the frontal boundary and a little wave of low pressure moving along it. This will trigger additional shower activity today, and it may become rather widespread by later in the day too, into part of the evening, before exiting. Overnight, we lose the rain chance, but gain the fog back, and it may be quite dense in some locations as well, persisting into Tuesday morning before it thins out again and dissipates. During the day Tuesday, a little very weak high pressure bubble pushes the frontal boundary in the region offshore, and allows clouds to break for some partial sun, but any sun will help a few showers pop up during the afternoon – this time favoring interior southern NH and central MA. Any of those dissipate by evening and just some clouds\/fog will be around at night. The clouds hang on through Wednesday as another front approaches from the west, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the region especially Wednesday afternoon and night, lingering into the early part of Thursday. Finally, this front, which will be moving along much more swiftly, will push offshore allowing a transition to drier air during the day on Thursday, and a really nice mid September day on Friday with fair weather and low humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hurricane Lee\u2019s closest pass, likely well offshore, will be taking place early in the period, during the September 16-17 weekend. While some guidance has given the track of Lee a little wiggle to the west, I’m not ready to buy that, as we’ve seen that before only to have guidance correct itself later. I’m aware that this has shown up on 3 major medium range models, but my feeling is the same at this point. Monitoring ensembles and trends is still the way to go early this week. Our weekend will be mostly fair with breezy conditions and fairly low humidity as Lee passes by to the east, but it will most certainly result in another round of rough surf along the coastline. Early-mid next week, another trough moves in from the west and a chance of showers – timing to be fine-tuned – but doesn’t look as wet as the current episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we close out summer and welcome autumn, a zonal pattern should give us more dry weather than unsettled, lower humidity, and variable but mostly near normal temperatures as we head into late month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
