DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last Sunday of summer will be a splendid one with a cool start, a nice warm-up, dry air, and lots of blue sky with a few decorative clouds around as high pressure builds in from the west. It’s a small high though and won’t be around long. You’ll notice higher clouds approaching from the southwest later in the day ahead of our next system, set to put an exclamation point on the wet summer season on Monday with another bout of unsettled weather. This system will consist of a vigorous upper level trough swinging through from west to east while a pretty decent surface low gets going and passes over or just offshore of southeastern New England by Monday night. While the event starts with some bands of showers and rain in morning hours of Monday it will consolidate into a pretty solid rain area Monday afternoon and evening, along with some potential embedded thunderstorms. The latter is most likely to occur close to the track of the surface low – i.e., RI and southeastern MA, where I can’t rule out an isolated severe storm or two with the potential for damaging wind gusts and\/or hail. That will be one thing to eye closely with this system, as well as the healthy rainfall delivery, which can impact areas already hit by flash flooding recently, as well as creating some flooding issues in other areas. That said, I do not expect this event to rival what happened one week ago, so that’s some good news. The other good news is the system doesn’t hang around. It moves out quickly. And following it is a long stretch of dry weather beginning on Tuesday as high pressure builds in both surface and aloft…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure hangs on into late week with fair and slightly warmer weather. The September 24-26 period is vulnerable to the return of clouds, higher humidity, and the chance of wet weather as we watch low pressure moving up along the Atlantic Coast. Doesn’t look, at this range, to be a strong storm of any kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 27 – OCTOBER 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dry weather for the most part with a return of a zonal flow pattern, but around mid period a disturbance may bring some showers through the region. No big storms or extreme temperatures are indicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
