It’s gonna beeeeeeeeeeee a really nice Labor Day Weekend for 2\/3 of it (Saturday & Sunday), and so-so for the final day (Monday).<\/p>\n

All that I spoke of in the last blog holds true… High pressure offshore pumps warmer and more humid air into the region as a cold front slowly edges its way toward the region, but probably takes until Monday to bring any threat of showers and storms to Metro Boston. There may be some isolated activity the other days well to the west and north of the city.<\/p>\n
Looking into next week… The front that arrives Monday may be slow to leave Tuesday, which may end up showery. Hopefully the front pushes far enough offshore for a drier, cooler Wednesday, but I’m just not sure of this yet.<\/p>\n
Tropical Topics… Hurricane Katia will be moving west to west northwest over the open waters of the Atlantic with an eventual path north of the Caribbean and south of Bermuda. The very early feeling is that Katia will never have a major impact on the US Mainland, other than some large ocean swells and possible rough surf toward the end of next week. This is by no means an all-clear on any East Coast threat as it is FAR too early to be certain of her eventual path. I do think that in the short term it is a lock that Tropical Storm Lee in the Gulf of Mexico is going to have a far greater impact on the US, as it is expected to bring tremendous rainfall amounts over the next few days to Louisiana and Alabama (with major flooding likely, including in the New Orleans area, where 10 to 20 inches of rain may occur). Whether or not any of this moisture eventually makes its way to New England remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
