4 Days and Counting...
I titled this blog "4 Days and Counting", because I'm going to keep a running count down this week of how long we will have to wait to get SOME improvement in our weather...but it actually may be 7 days before we get NOTICEABLE improvement. I can't remember a stretch this dismal in my recent memory...granted my memory isn't so great.
We are currently sandwiched between two upper level ridges and we will be living on the eastern side of an upper level cut-off low. This means the upper level winds will aligned from just north of the Bahamas right into the Northeast...an endless plume of moisture colliding and interacting with the cool maritime air currently entrenched over New England. Thus, there isn't really much else to say other than, expect more of the same cloudy, cool and wet conditions for the rest of the workweek.
The cut-off low will begin to move our way on Friday and pass overhead and then offshore by the start of the weekend. Which would normally be a good thing but my concern is that it's associated surface low will be hanging out to our east leading to onshore flow which could lock in some additional low-level moisture near the coast allowing for the gloom to hang around even longer. Inland areas over the weekend stand the best chance to break into brighter sunshine but unstable air may lead to pop-up showers or thunderstorms in the afternoons. Regardless, it will be better than the junk we are in now.
