Good morning folks, here is your Monday Weather Summary:
–High pressure moves away, allowing clouds and showers to push in
–Showers possible, but should dissipate as they reach the Quabbin Resveroir
–Highs in the mid 70s, light winds
–Dewpoint temps start to increase today and tomorrow
–Thunderstorms possible on Tuesday as cold front approaches
–Break in the action on Wednesday, possible breaks of sunshine

Good morning fine denizens of the valley, after this killer weekend we just experienced, the work week will feature much more in the way of clouds, showers, and thunderstorms, and cooler temperatures.

A weak trough is pushing into our area this morning, and showers have already broken out over western CT, eastern NY, and Berkshire County. It’s dry in Deerfield MA, but showers are pushing east this morning. They will likely dry out as they reach the Quabbin Reservoir, due to mixing with the remnants of the high pressure ridge that gave us our beautiful weather this weekend.

So you can expect some showers today, with mostly cloudy conditions, and highs in the mid 70s, which is down about 5 degrees from yesterday’s thoughts for today. Lows should be around 60 degrees.

Tomorrow, a cold front will approach, and if there is enough instability that sets up ahead of it, we could see showers and more in the way of thunderstorms. However, it could just be an isolated storm or two, so it needs to be watched. Mostly cloudy tomorrow with highs in the mid 70s. Dewpoint temps should reach the 60 degree mark, which starts to result in that muggy/sticky feel to the air.

Wednesday looks drier, with some possible breaks of sun, before we encounter more showers and thunderstorms for Thursday and Friday. Next weekend looks as nice as this past one so far, albeit slightly less warm.
