Windswept Rainfall Tonight...Colder Air Returns...But For How Long?

Cool filtered sunshine this morning with increasing high altitude clouds will give way to mostly cloudy skies this afternoon and warming temperatures into the 40's. High pressure off the coast will wrap in warming SW winds...but the lack of sunshine will make it feel cooler. Keep a close eye on the radar today because we have quite a bit of rain just to our SW which is heading right to us for tonight. Clouds will thicken in advance of the rain this afternoon with showers arriving in western New England around sunset. Showers will be reaching the coast between 6-8 PM...

All Is Calm, All Is Bright...

High pressure builds in over us Saturday supplying dry cold air with winds out of the North. Highs will be in the upper 20's and Lwr 30's in the sunshine. Ocean effect clouds and flurries will hang tough at the coast from Boston to the Cape.

Cold Air Moving In For the Weekend...Snow On the Cape

Partly sunny skies this morning will give way to increasing cloudiness as the front pushes through this afternoon. This front may even trigger a brief rain or snow shower...but there is plenty of dry air in the low levels to keep today mostly dry. Highs will climb into the upper 30's and lwr 40's by midday before falling this afternoon behind the front.

The Weather Is Golden...Feel of Indian Summer To Return

The weekend weather is all about wind direction and airmass. Northerly winds are directing cool air from Canada over the region today. Winds are gusty on the Cape & islands and will die down during the afternoon. Temps at 850 are near 0 C, so cool northerly winds with this kind of airmass will help to keep temps mostly in the 40's to near 50 even with 100% of the sun. Ocean effect cloudiness will be effecting the Cape and the islands into the afternoon.

A Couple Chances for Showers

High pressure south of New England will provide a dry day for the region. A mid-level cloud deck in western New England with early dense fog in the Valleys. Some of these clouds are trying to spread eastward during the morning through afternoon. Sunshine will be most abundant at the coast. A mix of sun and clouds across the region today with highs in the upper 50's and lwr 60's.

Time to Exhale and Enjoy the Weekend Weather

Sunny dry and breezy SW winds today, Gusts to 20 to 30 mph by midday and afternoon. Highs will be cooler than yesterday...58 to 64. There are clouds in the far northern and western reaches of New England associated with an upper low which continues to lift into Canada. Those clouds will primarily stay there, but a few puffy cu's may pop with the heating of the day across the interior. Winds will be diminishing tonight with lows dropping into the 40's with clear to partly cloudy skies.

Another Fall Beauty...Tracking Midweek Rainstorm

The Upper low over james Bay continues to wrap in seasonable dry and cool weather into the Northeast today with breezy WSW winds. There are more clouds north with partial sunshine. In the south, sun filled skies all morning through the early afternoon before clouds begin to build & increase during the afternoon. Highs in the Lwr-mid 60's. Not as windy, but still an active wind which could still gust to 30 from time to time.

Winds of Change This Weekend

The rain and humidity is long gone. The winds of change have moved in today as low pressure deepens and pulls into southern Canada. The winds are providing a refreshing clean and dry airmass with the definite feel of fall. Bright sunshine this morning will give way to building PM cumulus thanks to cooler air aloft and a piece of energy which will move in later today which could trigger a late PM sprinkle or shower farther inland. Highs will average above normal in the mid-uppr 60s with some areas at the coast nearing 70. The winds will provide a chill to the air.

Summer-Like Sunday Likely to Break Records

High pressure SW of New England is firmly in control today wrapping in warming light WNW winds which will warm the eastern facing beaches today. Temps in the valleys this AM are in the 40's, with temps in the 60's in the hills. Sunshine with highs in the Lwr-mid 80's by this afternoon.

Summer Returns For Columbus Day Weekend

Temps are starting off crisp and cool early this AM, but will quickly be on the rise today. At 9:30 AM we have already come close to where our highs were Friday...and we have quite a bit more daylight to go! By late morning, widespread 60's...by afternoon, highs will be in the 70's and lwr 80's.

Not a Washout This Weekend...But Times of Clouds & Showers

The heaviest rain is exiting New England and we will see a very gradual improvement for the rest of the day. Satellite observations are showing a significant dry slot which will be shifting in during the afternoon hours. This should alow for breaking sunshine in SNE to develop...especially south of the Pike. Where sunshine emerges temps will spike into the Lwr-mid 70's thanks to some warmer air aloft. Where clouds remain, temps remain in the 60's

Humid Stretch Showing Signs Of Ending

High pressure is close enough to provide enough subsidence for some increasing PM sunshine across the north with skies becoming partly sunny. This stable sinking air should allow for some brightening to the skies this afternoon in the south as well...with more clouds south of the Pike closer to the front. Winds are extremely light today, but expect them to shift onshore this afternoon for a feeble onshore wind. This will keep it slightly cooler at the beaches in the mid 70's with many inland areas in the upper 70's and Lwr 80's, especially if we break into any period of sunshine...which I am expecting to develop this afternoon.

Cool Weekend...Mild Midweek

Plenty of sunshine out there today with high thin cirrus clouds drifting above our heads. A trough to our west will be pushing into the region this afternoon bringing a few thicker middle level clouds along with it. High pressure at the surface will keep us dry and cool with highs in the mid 60's for most. Winds will be light, so a PM seabreeze will keep temps mainly in the lower 60's at the beaches.

Autumnal Preview For Last Weekend Of Summer

Winds are diminishing today as high pressure slides towards us, but the cooler air will continue to push into New England from Canada helping to keep highs around 60-65 degrees today with sun-filled skies. It should be in the mid 60's along the south coast, while most of us will remain in the Lwr 60's close to 10 degrees below normal for this time of year

Fine Weather On This Day of Remembrance

High pressure parked over Maine this morning providing clear and calm conditions to the region. Patchy morning fog is already beginning to lift. Light onshore winds from the SE will keep it cooler at the coast today in the 60's while most inland spots will climb to 70-75 degrees this afternoon...warmer in the west.

Onshore Winds Cool Down The Weekend

A beauty of a day across New England with high pressure building in behind a backdoor front. This barely noticeable front will push off the coast this afternoon followed by a cooler NE wind for the afternoon. Mostly sunny skies with high clouds today. Highs in the 70's nearing 80 in the west. As winds shift east this afternoon a cooling seabreeze will help to keep temps mostly in the lwr 70's at the coast.

Extensive Heat & Humidity In Upcoming Heat Wave

With high pressure overhead, drier air, light winds and clear skies...we are in store for a gorgeous summer night with temps dropping down to 60-65 in Eastern MA...with lows in the 50's in western valleys. More sunshine for Wednesday with temps once again climbing towards 90 with moderate humidity.

Little Relief From The Summer Heat

Best chance of any thunderstorm activity now will be from 6pm-12 am, and any storms that form could contain very heavy downpours, frequent lightning, damaging winds and some small hail. The atmosphere is very ripe in extreme Southern New England (parts of CT, RI and SE Mass and farther south towards the Mid Atlantic). So those would be the most likely areas for any severe weather later this evening.
