DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Counting down the final minutes to summer as I write this morning’s update, when I post it there will probably be only a handful of minutes until the autumnal equinox at 8:43 a.m. EDT this morning. So, goodbye summer, and happy autumn! I’d love to say that today’s weather is going to be stellar, but clearly, low pressure put my overly-optimistic forecast for this weekend to shame, first giving us a more widespread rainfall lasting much of the day in much of the region yesterday. Some areas further to the west did miss out on the beneficial rain, and “too much” rain fell on parts of Cape Cod where 4+ inches were recorded. But overall, a beneficial rain event for many of the areas in southeastern New England that had been dry. And even today is not as “nice” as I had said. While most of the region ends up dry, it takes several more hours to rid ourselves of the rain chance in southeastern MA, and the persistent onshore flow with the storm still not that far away will hold a lot of clouds in, limiting the sun that I also forecast too optimistically for today. Additionally, coastal areas will have to deal with splashover and minor flooding at and around times of high tide due to the persistent onshore flow and still somewhat high astronomical tides. So, while we continue in a blocking pattern into the week ahead, it’s a different enough configuration that we now find ourselves on the unsettled side. That said, I do expect rain-free weather Monday and Tuesday as a weak area of high pressure does build in. However, the center of this high being to the north allows a continues broad scale onshore flow, which means it won’t be as sunny as if the high were parked atop our area. So we’ll have clouds to deal with even if no rainfall. Heading into midweek, systems move enough to allow another trough of low pressure to move our way from the Great Lakes, bringing back the rain chance by later Wednesday and most especially Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 27 – OCTOBER 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure may linger around the region the first day or two of this period with more wet weather, but it’s unclear how quickly it will move out. Better chances for drier weather come mid to late period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somewhat more zonal pattern may get going here, with quicker-passing mostly minor systems bringing brief shower chances. Temperatures variable, but no extremes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
