DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 3-7)…
\nLabor Day Weekend is underway and I know everyone’s attention has been on Hermine and the weather impacts wherever you have your plans for the weekend. The focus here will be southern New England as usual and I will keep this post short and concise. Hermine will finish its trek across the Carolinas and emerge back over water far south of New England, moving northeastward to a position east of the Mid Atlantic before milling around for a couple to a few days, probably through this 5-day forecast period. Though the location is more of a concern for the Mid Atlantic, where the greater impact will be, it will also have an impact on how much rain is able to work into southern New England, eventually. One thing we will not escape is a moderate impact from rough surf, especially along the South Coast by late in the weekend (later Sunday and Labor Day Monday), which may expand northward by Tuesday and Wednesday due to the fairly broad circulation of the storm and its time spent in the same general vicinity. As for rain, it’s hard to say for sure, but I think we’ll get through most of Sunday before anything may reach Cape Cod later in the day. After that I think we’ll see a couple waves of scattered showers versus solid rain, one potentially sometime on Monday and another one sometime Tuesday or Tuesday night, with isolated leftovers Wednesday. Again, this part of the forecast is lower confidence and will be refined.
\n** Please note that some wind gusts on Cape Cod and the immediate shoreline may be stronger at times than the range I have below, and also be aware that the rip current risk will be increasing at the beaches during the course of the weekend. **
