Very Small Doses...
The sun made a few brief appearances today but Mother Nature has decided to introduce it to us in small doses so that we don't burn our retinas!
In general the entire storm is weakening and is on the move. unfortunately, it is still to our west and that means we still have unsettled weather to contend with. The downpours and storms that developed in the sun warmed air in the SE Mass have fallen apart but clouds and damp weather remain for the remainder of the night....also expect some dense fog to form again tonight. We wake up in the gloom again tomorrow but sunshine will do its best to chew away at the clouds and we should end up with some short intervals of sunshine. Of course, we'll pay the price for that sun as showers and thunderstorms will bubble up in the unstable air.
Saturday is a tough one...it's all about the timing of a backdoor coldfront. Right now we have the passage early in the afternoon...out ahead of it low clouds and muck with the chance of showers (more of the same) behind it cooler but drier air that will briefly give us a little sun. I say briefly because that NE flow will really kick in late in the day increasing the low level Gulf of Maine moisture and low clouds and fog will spread back in. So, keep your fingers crossed for that window of sun to open just after that passage.
With high pressure to our NE on Sunday once again we wake up in the clouds and fog and drizzle but the clouds will be in burn back mode and sunshine should develop especially inland where highs will reach 65-70 but at the coast likely staying closer to 60.
We still expect that warm up early next week as East Coast ridging will pump warm and humid air into Southern New England.
