Bye Bye Fog and Mist

Today should be last day we see this mist, drizzle and fog for at least 5 days, probably longer

Today:  Morning clouds and fog then some hazy sun, showers and thunderstorms possible this afternoon.  Some storms could be severe with high winds, small hail and heavy rain, especially in Southern New England, highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Tonight:  Showers and thunderstorms come to an end in the evening, becoming partly cloudy, lows in the upper 50s to near 60 south, 40s north.

Tomorrow:  Partly to mostly sunny, highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Tomorrow night:  Mainly clear, lows in the 50s south, near 40 north.

Thursday:  Partly sunny, slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm, highs in the 70s.

Discussion: 

Say good riddance to the ocean influence that we've been dealing with for the past 2 weeks.  A cold front is moving toward New England today, the combination of this and a strong sun will burn off the clouds.  Once those clouds burn off, it will be warm and humid today and as a result, we should see a few thunderstorms develop.  Atmospheric conditions are conducive to severe thunderstorms today, but these strong storms should be isolated in nature.  Most of this activity should be restricted to Southern New England and probably south of the Mass. Pike.

The front will clear the region this evening, taking the showers and thunderstorms with it.  After that, we are looking at much more seasonable and pleasant conditions, even if there will be a few showers around at times.  Wednesday will be nice, plenty of sunshine and mild, coolest temperatures along the coast.  Thursday should also be generally nice, though a few showers and storms may develop across the interior thanks to a low pressure system approaching from the west.

Further out into the week and into the weekend, it looks like it is going to be OK.  The low pressure system that is approaching on Thursday will be around, but not significantly impacting the region all the time.  Temperatures will be warm and it will be a bit muggy as well.  There are going to be a few showers and thunderstorms around at times too.  I'm not going to get too in depth beyond Thursday, but right now, the weekend doesn't look like a washout by any means.

Thanks for reading!
