DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)
\nWe’re in a little bit of a weather “no-man’s land” today as the final remains of Irma depart and a washed-out old front sits over the region, while weak high pressure, and I mean very weak high pressure, tries to build in. The result has been lots of low clouds and areas of fog forming overnight and persisting much of the morning, though there have been breaks in the clouds in some areas. These breaks will gain more control during midday and afternoon but this process will likely repeat again tonight and tomorrow, and to some extent even Monday. The main attention is now on Hurricane Jose, which will be tracking northward toward New England by early in the week. A hurricane coming toward New England during hurricane season is nothing unusual. So instead of reacting only on that statement, read on. The chance of a direct impact on New England, though not zero, is pretty low. Most reliable indications show this system will be weakening, transitioning from tropical to non-tropical, and making a turn to the right before its center can reach the region. But this does not mean zero impact either. A system taking this track during transition will still be close enough for definite rough surf impact (starting as early as Monday), and probable rain\/wind impact, though the “worst” of it would likely occur over Cape Cod and the Islands. Still, however, a few days from the event we still have uncertainty and will watch for any changes. The forecast below will give as much detail as I’m comfortable with for now, and of course going forward it will be updated in more detail.
\nTODAY: Mainly cloudy with areas of fog into midday, then partly to mostly sunny. Highs 68-73 coast, 74-79 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
\nTONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-66. Wind light variable.
\nSUNDAY: Mainly cloudy with areas of fog early, then partly sunny. Highs 68-73 coast, 74-79 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
\nSUNDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-66. Wind light variable.
\nMONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind light variable.
\nTUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms especially afternoon and night. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially at night and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.
\nWEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially early and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
\nMuch of this period should feature dry weather and above normal temperatures.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)
\nThe overall pattern doesn’t change much but we may again need to eye the tropics for potential impact from a system early in the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
