YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, we’re still careening through the Cosmos on Spaceship Earth, and the weather is still happening, and I’m still your atmospheric narrator as long as air keeps moving through my lungs and across the planet’s surface, so here goes nuttin’!
#SorryNotSorry
I know most folks are sick of the rain, but more is coming this morning as a broken line of showers with some heavier cells is approaching the New England / New York state line near western CT, the Berkshires, and southwest VT.
These are tracking northeast so those westernmost areas in my greater WMass coverage zone will be getting wet pretty soon, probably before 8am or 8:30am.
Some briefer downpours are possible in some of these showers, and some street flooding may occur in scattered areas today.
Highs will hang in the upper 60s to mid 70s, and by afternoon we may even get into some breaks as the first wave works through the region. It’ll be humid, too, with dewpoint temps into the mid 60s.
Beyond that, any surface heating along with the actual cold frontal passage should help generate a second round of scattered showers and thunderstorms, one or two of which may become strong to even marginally severe with strong gusty winds by late afternoon or evening.
Patchy fog will develop tonight with lows dropping into the 50s as we start to dry out.
High pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region to our south on Wednesday, and as a result a warmer southerly flow will develop, producing sunshine, less humidity and warmer temps reaching to either side of 80º for highs — Woo hoo!
Lows will dip to either side of 60º under mostly clear skies, and Thursday should produce a repeat of Wednesday with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs near 80º, with clouds increasing at night and lows near 60º.
The Friday to Sunday period remains meteorologically murky at the moment, as we’ll have high pressure building in from the north and helping to push a cold front our way, but the front doesn’t look overly strong and may stall out in our vicinity.
This should help focus some showers along the front, but there is no big upper trough to our west like we’ve had recently. Given that we will not have very impressive moisture levels around, we could see periods of lighter showers, especially by Saturday morning, but I will have to update you as we get closer.
Highs will reach the 70s on Friday, but then hang in the 65-70º range over the weekend, which should be followed by a drier Monday with highs in the 70s and no big heat waves in sight at the moment as we head deeper into the middle of June.
Have a great day!
