DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)
\nHurricane Dorian will accelerate northeastward today through Saturday, the center making its closest pass about 200 miles southeast of Cape Cod early Saturday (around or a little after dawn). The hurricane will be undergoing transition to non-tropical during this trip, and when that happens, its coverage expands. This track and expansion will allow the remaining outer rain bands to make it to the South Coast of New England this afternoon and push northward through tonight, with the main rain area pushing across RI and southeastern MA overnight and first thing Saturday morning, before everything moves offshore and away. While a few of these showers some more likely some of the rain from the main area may be on the heavy side, the main impact from Dorian will be large swells and rough surf along the coast, where splash-over and some minor flooding is possible. Behind that will be a gusty northerly breeze and drier conditions for the remainder of Saturday, but in the evening or nighttime there may be a passing shower from a cold front dropping south from Canada. High pressure builds in with great weather Sunday and Monday, and this high sinks to the south with fair weather but a warm-up by Tuesday.
