A Bit Unsettled...
It is still that time of year when sunshine makes all the difference on the way a day feels. When the sun was behind a cloud today and that wind blew, it was downright chilly. Conversely, when the sun was out it felt great and going jacketless worked.
Hardly any changes for tomorrow as a large upper level storm continues to spin over the Northeast. When the sun pops out and we get some surface heating it creates an unstable atmosphere and promotes cumulus cloud formation with some growing into towers that have scattered showers associated with them. The rain isn't widespread and doesn't last long...not every town will see one tomorrow afternoon.
The present storm system will lift out tomorrow night allowing the next storm system to slide in underneath it. This will increase the cloud cover Thursday morning and with some upper level support and divergence providing lift rain will spread in later in the afternoon. The rain will only last a few hours but it should be steady and may actually be briefly heavy.
The storm system will strengthen after it passes by and settles into the Maritimes...this will drive some chilly air into New England on stiff NW winds. Highs will slide down through the 50s as we head into the weekend...keeping temps below the normal of 59 degrees for both Saturday and Sunday. There is also some concern for rain over the weekend but some of the latest guidance suggests that the colder air will have some depth to it...enough to push the storm track to our south. This would leave us on the northern fringe of any storms and therefore mainly dry.
