DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hurricane Ernesto crossed Bermuda this morning and is now set to accelerate away from there and into the open North Atlantic this weekend, well southeast to of New England. As previously noted, Ernesto’s impact on our region come in a couple forms. One is to increase ocean swells and rough surf especially later in the weekend into the beginning of next week. The other is to delay the arrival of a trough from the west, keeping most of our weekend rain-free. We are still contending with a significant plume of high altitude wildfire smoke from Canada, which has been directed southward across our sky for the past several days due to the lack of upper pattern feature movement, but this plume will thin from west to east during the course of the weekend, just in time for more clouds to arrive from the west. However, as noted, shower activity will be limited to just light and scattered on Sunday, with the main activity from the trough coming through this region in a couple surges between early Monday and midday Tuesday as a frontal system and wave or two of low pressure impact southeastern New England. Drier air arrives later Tuesday and Wednesday, along with below normal temperatures and low humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
