Good morning everybody, well, we’re beat up a little, but we made it through some truly severe weather over the last three days, and now we’re in the clear, for real.

Hurricane Arthur has become an extratropical storm system, which means it has lost its warm core, and is now a cold core system, like a Nor’easter or other non-tropical system (the ‘extra’ prefix means ‘out of’, as in out of the tropics).

The remnants of Arthur will still impact Nova Scotia today, and is still resulting in heavy showers this morning across extreme eastern MA, and the Cape and Islands, but this should depart over the next couple hours, and by noon, we should see rapid clearing down in those areas, as cooler Canadian high pressure builds into all of New England, collapsing dew points down into the 40s and 50s!

So we are going to have a beautiful, beautiful weekend to celebrate the holiday, have cookouts, parties, gatherings, etc. Mostly sunny weather with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s, and a wonderfully dry and cool night for sleeping tonight, with lows down into the low 50s.

On Monday, humidity starts to work back in, with a slight chance of showers in the evening, and more chances of showers and scattered thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday as a cold front approaches. I do not see severe weather at this time, but will update as it approaches. Highs in the mid 80s.

Late next week looks to clear out again. Have a great weekend!
