YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, we have a chilly start out there with temps “freezing to 40” for the most part, but there are some upper 20s noted as well. Let me know what you saw for lows overnight or current temps.
Going forward, high pressure builds through New England today with sunshine and highs in the low 50s to low 60s with a light wind. Lows tonight will drop to the low 40s as clouds increase with a weakening cold front pressing east through NY and PA overnight.
This front will pass through early Saturday and bring a few light showers, but most will stay dry as the stronger dynamics are more north into northern New England.
The impact it WILL have is freshening the west and northwest wind on Saturday into the evening with gusts of 20-35mph at times, along with increasing sunshine and decreasing temps.
This higher wind and persistent dry surface may end up causing the NWS to hoist Red Flag Warnings, as we are essentially in a continuous potential for fire spread conditions at this point (including today, so don’t be a dummy). When you add the wind component, we could see other events like the Berlin CT fire.
Saturday highs will be similar today as colder air lags the front, so expect low 50s to low 60s, but Saturday night looks colder with lows in the mid 20s to mid 30s under mostly clear skies, with breezy conditions earlier on.
Sunday and Monday is the coldest part of this next cool down as our seesaw weather continues, which is known to happen in the Autumn as waning warmth, and waxing cold battle for prominence in New England.
Highs Sunday and Monday should sit down into the mid 40s to mid 50s with lows in the mid 20s to low 30s under sunny/clear skies.
High pressure will crest overhead during this time, and then pullout to sea and south of us starting Tuesday which is our transition to our next warm up, with sunny skies and highs in the mid 50s to low 60s.
However, it is the Wednesday through Friday noon timeframe when we’ll warm right back up again with sunshine and highs in the mid 60s to low 70s Wednesday, and then well into the 70s Thursday and possibly Friday, depending on when a cold front arrives end of next week with some showers possible as we roll into November.
There are signals that are softly creeping into my awareness that point that could turn into a cooler and stormier pattern change toward the November 5-10th timeframe, but it’s just something to which I’ll pay attention.
Have a great day, and please remember my calendar as you think about your holiday gift shopping, or for yourself (order link below):
