DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upper level low pressure spinning off to our east will do a few things to our weather over the next few days. Firstly, it drives additional wildfire smoke southward out of Canada through at least Friday. It triggers some showers that visit parts (or most) of our region later today and this evening, and it slows down the approach of the next trough that we end up with the majority of the upcoming weekend rain-free. Ernesto is forecast to make a north to northeast track over the western Atlantic in the coming days, peaking as a category 3 hurricane southwest of Bermuda before starting a slow weakening trend and passing close to the island on Saturday. Eventually Ernesto starts to pick up speed and track north northeast, passing far east of New England. It will generate large ocean swells and rough surf heading through the weekend and early next week. Back here in New England, as we get to the start of next week we’ll see a better shot of showers and thunderstorms on Monday as a trough moves into the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
