YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, it’s gonna feel like early September today with a modest but balmy breezy west-southwest wind that will gust up to 20mph at times, sending highs into the low 70s in the high terrain to low 80s in the Pioneer Valley of WMass!
We may tie a rec\ord or two, but I don’t expect a big record-breaking day temperature-wise.
We can thank giant high pressure centered over the southern Ohio Valley down into Kentucky that is tracking east and “getting under us” to the south, which helps produce the warming southwest flow that usually drives summer conditions.
This time of year, we’re seeing the Canadian low pressure systems and troughs tracking east through southern Canada which are instigating the see-saw descent into the cold season with cooling northwest flow, and that will happen again after a cold frontal passage Wednesday night into Thursday morning with a few showers.
Prior to that, though, we’re mostly sunny with the aforementioned highs in the 70s to low 80s today, with lows tonight dropping into the upper 40s, followed by two more warm days with highs in the mid to upper 70s Tuesday and low to mid 70s Wednesday.
Monday night and Tuesday night look clear, with lows Tuesday night in the low 50s, but by Wednesday evening clouds will be building as a front approaches.
This front looks fairly moisture-starved down by our neck of the woods, but a few showers are expected Wednesday night into the first half of Thursday
We should develop sunshine by late morning into the afternoon on Thursday, but northwest winds may gust over 20mph at times as cooler air rushes in, dropping our highs down into the 55-60º range with lows in the low to mid 30s.
Friday should feature sunny skies and similar highs like Thursday, with milder lows in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Another frontal boundary could then swing through Saturday with a few showers as highs slightly rebound into the upper 50s to low 60s.
Behind the front, we drop back down into the upper 40s to mid 50s for highs with another good looking weekend at this range.
Enjoy the warmth over the next few days, have a great day, and please remember my calendar as you think about your holiday gift shopping, or for yourself (order link below):
