If you were lucky enough to start your Labor Day Weekend today, as I was, then you enjoyed a great day if you were outside. I spent some time at Hampton Beach NH, where recently the water temperature had dumped from near 70 to the upper 50s, after the passage of Irene. But today, with an onshore wind, the water temperature rebounded somewhat, and though I did not look at the observed temperature, I figure by feel it was back to the lower 60s. It wasn’t a totally sunny day as there were areas of high & middle clouds moving through, but it was very nice.<\/p>\n
Another nice day is expected Friday, but cooled by an onshore wind. Some low clouds may be present along the coast to start the day but most of them will burn off rather quickly once the sun comes up.<\/p>\n
As for the actual Labor Day Weekend (Saturday-Monday), expect humidity to increase Saturday and Sunday with high pressure off the coast. A frontal system from the northwest will be very slow to\u00a0 move into the region, reaching western and northern New England Sunday but hanging out there until it finally moves into southeastern New England on Labor Day. That day will bring the greatest chance of showers and storms to the Boston area.<\/p>\n
