DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 7-11)
\nDorian is not done yet, giving Nova Scotia a decent hit today. Nova Scotia averages 1 hurricane landfall every 3 years (of course that can be very uneven, as that is a long-term average). Clusters of landfalls there have been observed at various times in weather observation history, seemingly related to large scale patterns, such as the AMO. And yes, Nova Scotia gets more landfalls than New England. It actually makes perfect sense if you look at the average hurricane path through the Atlantic Basin. Simple statistics. For New England, we’re not completely done with the impacts from the passing of the hurricane, with rough surf continuing through today into tonight before subsiding Sunday. Cloudiness has been dominant through the morning so far (10AM writing this) with the rain shield sitting over part of Cape Cod earlier in the morning, since having moved out. The drier air is in the process of eroding the lingering lower clouds as the higher deck of clouds from the storm’s circulation moves away. So the theme will be increasing sun as we get to and into afternoon, but still some cloudiness as well, but later in the day or definitely by tonight more clouds will show up from the northwest in advance of a cold front that will drop through the region tonight, producing nothing more than a brief passing shower in a few locations. This will be followed by the arrival of high pressure, bringing great weather to the region Sunday through Tuesday, with local variations based on wind direction and speed relative to the high’s position. By Wednesday, a trough arrives from the west with a warm front \/ cold front combo, lots of clouds, and a risk of showers.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)
\nHigh pressure to the north with fair weather expected September 12-13 but may have to watch a boundary not too far south that could mess up this forecast. Front pushes through September 14 but shower risk looks minimal as high pressure ridging builds aloft and results in dry\/warmer weather for the balance of the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)
\nOverall pattern will be dominated by west to east flow with a mean ridge in the eastern US, but a disturbance may cause a few showers and possible thunderstorms around mid period. Predominant weather will be fair with above normal temperatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
