YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, well it’s certainly cold out there this morning, and will be for the next few consecutive mornings, so bundle appropriately.
However, we’ve also punched into another meteorological dry pocket with lots of fair weather conditions upcoming as far as the eye can see, really, with no real rain prospects until at least late next week into next weekend, so if you like sunshine, you’re in luck.
It has been a bit breezy in the high terrain overnight, and northwest wind gusts will kick up again today, gusting about 15-25mph at times, with highs only climbing into the mid 40s to low 50s from high terrain to valley, under a mostly sunny day trending partly sunny in the high terrain west of the I-91 corridor.
Be sure to look west for the Comet tonight, and do so just after twilight (astronomical twilight quits at 7:40pm tonight, meaning night officially arrives then). Hopefully it will be cloudless, and while an almost full moon in the east will not help viewing the comet, it will make for a most celestial evening in the Cosmos.
Lows tonight drop to the low to mid 30s again with more frost potential, though it will be dry, so we’ll see.
A dry cold front passes through or washes out just north of us Wednesday with partly to mostly sunny skies expected and highs in the upper 40s to low 50s.
Wind should die down at night, allowing for radiational cooling to be maximized (you need dry, still, cloudless to optimize such cooling) and assuming that plays out, we will see a hard freeze with lows in the mid 20s to low 30s, so plant people should take note.
Remember: the Frost/Freeze Program by the NWS shuts off in WMass on October 11, so no Advisories/Warnings will be issued.
Thursday looks lovely, sunny, and autumnal with highs in the mid to upper 50s, and lows down into the low to mid 30s for more frostiness under clear skies.
On Friday, giant high pressure responsible for this expected long stretch of fair weather will be coming to the east coast and starting to pass and set up south of us, which will return a milder flow of air from the southwest into our region.
This means we can expect highs to climb into the low to mid 60s Friday under sunny skies, with lows in the mid to upper 30s as frostiness starts to relent.
For the weekend, I don’t think you could ask for a better one in mid-later October, with plenty of sunshine, highs 65-70º, and lows in the 40s. It just looks amazing!
Then by Monday into at least Wednesday, we will continue to climb, with highs reaching the upper 60s to low/mid 70s with more sunshine and lows in the 40s to perhaps near 50º.
The high pressure cell responsible is truly massive and longstanding, so if you’re all about the bright yellow-white sky orb, your time has come.
Have a great day, and please remember me for your holiday gift shopping, or if you need a calendar (order link below)!
