DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 3-7)…
\nSprawling high pressure north of New England exerts enough influence to keep most rain out of the picture here in southern New England this weekend, but with not quite enough push to get rid of all the cloudiness. There will be some lingering patchy very light rain today as a remnant of the moisture source to our south (producing very heavy rain in the Carolinas) but this risk will diminish as the day goes on, and then precipitation will be limited to mainly patches of drizzle in eastern areas from low level ocean moisture as a healthy northeast to east air flow continues. This will continue to some degree into the start of the new week though the winds will turn more to the north with time, all this as Hurricane Joaquin passes well to the south and eventually east of southern New England by Tuesday. What we will see from the overall air flow and added to by the hurricane will be high seas offshore and big waves and swells coming into the shoreline areas, resulting in some flooding at high tide times in prone areas. Though cloudiness may linger into the early part of the week, the threat of rain will be pretty much non-existent as dry air works down from the north.
\nTODAY: Mainly cloudy. Patchy very light rain anywhere morning and midday. Patchy drizzle coastal areas. Highs in the 50s. Wind NE 10-20 MPH inland, 15-30 MPH coast, with higher gusts.
\nTONIGHT & SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy. Areas of drizzle especially eastern coastal areas. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s. Wind NE 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
\nMONDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Lows 45-52. Highs 60-67.
\nTUESDAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Lows 47-54. Highs 64-71.
\nWEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Lows 47-52. Highs 60-67.<\/p>\n
