DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)…
\nHigh pressure hangs on then slips to the southeast of New England today with fair weather. Clouds advance tonight and rain showers follow for Tuesday as a cold front moves in. This front will be parented by a low pressure area over the Great Lakes that won’t move much to the east, so the front will run out of steam as it comes through then hang up just off to the southeast. The parent low is likely to sink southward into the Ohio Valley during midweek and some of its energy will transfer to a new low developing on the front. This system should keep most of its rain offshore but may through more cloudiness across the region Wednesday. For the Thursday-Friday period, there is still some conflicting information regarding how far east the Ohio Valley low gets, and this has significant implications on the weather in southern New England, with obviously a further eastward position bringing a greater chance of wetter weather, and if high pressure is strong enough to keep this system at bay, we’d see a lesser rain risk but possibly a persistent easterly wind. This period of uncertainty is not really much of a surprise, as this is a common occurrence fueled by model inconsistency when we enter a transitional period in the weather pattern, that is, a changing regime. For now, there are no major changes to the forecast, but confidence beyond Tuesday remains lower than average.
\nTODAY: Sunny. Highs 64-72. Wind calm morning, light S afternoon.
\nTONIGHT: Clouding over west to east. Rain showers arriving west to east toward dawn. Lows 51-60, coolest over interior valleys. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
\nTUESDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers in the morning. Partly sunny in the afternoon. Highs 62-70. Wind SW to W 10-20 MPH.
\nWEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows 50-58. Highs 66-74.
\nTHURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows 50-58. Highs 62-70.
\nFRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows 52-60. Highs 64-72.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 1-5)…
\nA low pressure trough will likely be located southwest of New England while a high pressure ridge tries to build over New England and nearby eastern Canada, though the low may finally push in somewhere around October 4-5 with a better chance of rain again. This is a low confidence forecast in need of much future fine-tuning.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 6-10)…
\nA potential tropical system to the south may at least send some of its moisture northward toward or into the region early in the period with a rain risk. The trend should be for drier and initially cooler than eventually milder weather for mid through late period. Confidence remains low on this portion of the forecast as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
