DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On goes the atmospheric blocking, but it has shifted just enough to allow low pressure to the south to get closer to our region, and this will give some unsettled weather to the region over the next few days. While this is a slightly slower evolution than I’d originally forecast, the basic idea is the same. The greatest impact from rainfall will be over southeastern MA and southern RI, with most areas northwest of a general line down I-95 \/ I-90 \/ I-86 staying rain-free much of this time. The maximum impact of the low pressure area’s rain shield should occur between tonight and Friday afternoon in general, but there will be impulses of “less” and “more” during the next few days, with a distinctive trend of the system being pushed back to the south by re-strengthening high pressure by early in the weekend. Region-wide dry weather returns during Saturday and continues Sunday as well as Monday. We also see a cooler regime set-up with a broad scale northeasterly air flow in general for much of this period. The autumnal equinox occurs at 8:43 a.m. EDT on Sunday – the beginning of fall – though some trees this year are already ahead of the game, letting their leaves change as a result of some cooler nights earlier this month, and some as a result of an ongoing dry spell. Boston is now sitting at its 4th-longest recorded stretch of days without measurable rain. That streak may come to an end in the next 48 hours, but we will see how much rain makes it in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog this morning. Periodic rain is most likely east and south of a line along I-95 from southeastern NH to I-90 to I-86 (eastern and southeastern areas). Highs 66-73. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts South Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT through FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periodic rain favoring far eastern and southeastern areas (east & southeast of a line from I-95 to I-90 to I-86). Areas of fog at times. Lows 51-58. Highs 62-69. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts favoring coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Lots of cloud – partial sun more possible to the north and west. Lingering rain possible near the South Coast and Cape Cod until midday. Highs 62-69. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another trough \/ low pressure area brings a wet weather chance around September 25-26, based on current mid level projections of features. Dry, cooler weather later in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
