YOUR WEEKLY WEATHER NUTSHELL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
–Patchy dense fog this morning lifts later
–Partly to mostly sunny skies develop with highs well in to the 60s and lows either side of 50º
–Light southerly winds expected today, tonight and tomorrow
–Clouds increase tonight, showers move in Friday morning and last off and on through afternoon and evening with highs in the low to mid 60s and lows in the low 50s
–Our storm tracks northeast into New England Saturday bringing more periods of showers, but a windswept soaking rain is unlikely at the moment… still, a wet day is expected with highs near 60º
–Showers quit sometime on Saturday night, and cooler air works into the region with lows 45-50º
–Gusty northwest winds pick up behind the departing low pressure system, gusting 25-40mph at times with a few instability showers on Sunday
–Patchy frost late Sunday night with lows in the 30s, and highs on Monday under partly sunny skies with highs in the 50s
–More frost expected late Monday night into Tuesday morning with lows low to mid 30s
–High pressure builds east and to our south by mid-week causing a return southwest flow with milder temps and fair weather by mid to late next week, but before we talk details let’s check a note from our local and delicious sponsor, #TandemBagelCo, with their newest location in the Stop & Shop Plaza on King Street in Northampton, MA.

YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, it’s been a loooooooooooong time since TBM came to town, but it just so happens this morning that The Bulletization Mobile(TM) has been honking its obnoxious tooter incessantly and in alternating fashion between each of my ear drums with immense and intense precision, such that coffee has been unnecessary this morning!

So without further adieu, I will display a dose of double–dashes in our discussion this morning for your perusing pleasure, here goes!

SUMMARY
–Patchy fog will go buh bye by mid morning, but is rather dense in spots so watch for curbs, cars, and people in your travels, and avoid them at all costs, travel safe
–High pressure builds through and brings us a delightful partly to mostly sunny day with no showers expected and highs well into the 60s with light southerly wind
–Lows tonight bottom out either side of 50º as we cloud up, and warm frontal showers push north into our region Friday morniing with a big moisture surge ahead of our warm front
–Friday morning, afternoon and evening looks showery at times, and rain could fall heavily in spots, with highs in the low to mid 60s, and lows in the 50s as humidity increases (more fog possible, too)
–Our upper low sweeps into the northeast U.S., and tilts negatively causing a new surface low to form off of the New Jersey coast, which will track northeast through southern New England on Saturday
–This brings more periods of showers, but a windy washout is not expected
–Still, it is likely to be a wet day with highs in the low 60s, and rain should shut off by the evening or early part of the night as our storm speeds away to the northeast
–A gusty Sunday with colder air moving into the region brings northwesterlies up to 25-40mph, and highs only in the 50s with a few showers possible
–At night, patchy frost will develop late with lows in the mid 30s to low 40s, and a few rain or snow showers in the high terrain are possible
–Monday looks sunny, as does Tuesday but cooler with highs in the 50s
–By mid to late week high pressure will be tracking to our south and putting us into a southwest warming flow which should produce fair weather during this period and highs possibly back up into the 60s

Have a great day!

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
