Warm and dry

Conditions will remain warm and dry through tomorrow.

Today:  Partly sunny, highs in the low to mid 80s south, upper 70s north.

Tonight:  Partly cloudy, lows in the upper 50s to low 60s south, 40s north.

Tomorrow:  Occasional sun then becoming cloudy in the afternoon, highs in the upper 70s north and south.

Tomorrow night:  Cloudy with the chance of showers, lows in the upper 50s south, low 50s north.

Thursday:  Cloudy with showers likely and the chance of thunderstorms, highs in the 60s.

Discussion:

High pressure will stay in control of our weather through tonight and then an approaching warm front will but a damper on things.  Plenty of sunshine, warm temperatures and low humidity will persist into tomorrow afternoon, so enjoy it while you can.  Clouds will increase during the day tomorrow as the warm front advances closer to the region.  It looks like any shower activity should hold off until tomorrow night.

Once the warm front sets up across New England, our temperatures will cool down considerably.  An easterly wind will see to this.  The front will slowly drift across the region on Wednesday night and Thursday bringing the threat of on and off showers.  Not a steady all day rain, but periodic showers and maybe a couple of thunderstorms.  Eventually the warm front will essentially disappate and then the surface low moves in.  This will keep the threat of wet weather in the forecast through Friday and into the upcoming weekend.  It will not be a washout by any stretch of the imagination, but conditions will be favorable for showers and thunderstorms to develop at any time Thursday through Saturday afternoon.  Sunday looks like the better of the two weekend days at this point.

Thanks for reading!

More rain on the way

We'll squeeze one nice day out today before a few days of unsettled weather.

Today:  Partly to mostly sunny today, highs in the upper 50s and low 60s south, in the upper 40s and low 50s north.

Tonight:  Increasing clouds, chance of rain showers south, snow showers north, lows in the upper 30s and low 40s south, near 30 north.

Tomorrow:  Cloudy, rain possible at times, especially in the afternoon, highs in the 50s south, near 50 north.  Best chance of rain will be in Southern New England.

Tomorrow night:  Showers possible, snow or mixed precipitation north, lows in the upper 30s and low 40s south, upper 20s to near 30 north.

Wednesday:  Rain chances continue, highs around 50 south, 40s north.

Discussion:

We'll manage a nice day today before a warm front extending eastward from a developing low pressure system in the Central US.  Temperatures will be mild and we'll see a decent amount of sunshine.  Tonight is when conditions will gradually start to deteriorate.  The warm front will start to press in from the west and this will bring clouds and rain chances.

Temperatures are going to be cold enough in spots across New England to provide some wintry precipitation during overnight hours with this storm.  I'm not expecting any significant accumulations with this storm, but more of an annoyance than anything.  Eventually this storm will pass off to our north and west on Wednesday evening.  So tonight through Thursday morning, we are looking at occasional rain chances here in New England.  I don't think we will have steady rain/snow/mix for more than an hour or two.  For the most part we'll be dealing with cloudy skies, cooler temperatures and periodic showers.

Once this storm clears, Thursday should bring improving weather and this should continue into Friday.  Looks like our next chance of rain will come on Saturday.

Sorry for the quick one today, preoccupied by a "can't sit still" toddler.  Thanks for reading!
