Cooler and drier

Cooler and drier air will prevail here in New England for the foreseeable future.

Today:  Partly sunny, more clouds north with a few isolated showers in the higher terrain, windy, highs in the upper 60s and low 70s south, low 60s north.

Tonight:  Becoming clear, lows in the low 50s south, upper 30s to near 40 north.

Tomorrow:  Mainly sunny, highs around 70 south, low 60s north.

Tomorrow night:  Clear, cool, lows in the upper 40s and low 50s south, 30s north.

Saturday:  Partly sunny, highs in the low 70s south, near 70 north.

Discussion:

Low pressure aloft and high pressure at the surface will dominate our weather for the next 5 days or so.  On the backside of the cold front cooler air is blowing into New England and will set up shop right into the upcoming weekend.  A welcome relief to some who had to deal with the worst of the weather yesterday.  There were 3 reported tornadoes near the Springfield, MA area, two of which were filmed so those can likely be confirmed.  The 3rd was in a less populated area and will be investigated to see if it actually was tornado or not.

But back to the next few days.  We'll see plenty of sunshine, especially after today as a few showers might pop up across the higher terrain.  As a matter of fact, the summit of Mt. Washington reported some snow showers this morning, along with wind gusts to 81 mph.  That's brisk.

Our next chance of precipitation will come on Sunday and it doesn't look very organized.  The atmosphere in general will be pretty dry so most of the rain will evaporate before reaching the ground.

Thanks for reading!
