>>> MORNING DISCUSSION <<< Good morning everybody, sorry for the late report, honestly I had a blast at my gig last night, and when I play music I am WIRED afterward and I cannot get to sleep, so I'm bit of a slumbery mess this morning. As for our weather is concerned, the severe weather threat as I had mentioned kept diminishing in the region and trending more south, and we did have a severe thunderstorm and other storms in northern CT last evening and night, but nothing much in western MA, CMass or SVT/SWNH. For today, despite an afternoon shower, we're dry with alternating clouds and sun and seasonable highs in the 70s to low 80s with a humid air mass in place, which gets pushed out tonight as dewpoints drop into the 50s along with lows. Some patchy fog is possible. Tomorrow is dry for most of the day, with a sunny morning and cloudier afternoon, and some showers may arrive by evening, but should mostly hold off until the night time. Highs again will be in the 70s to low 80s. Clouds thicken at night as a mid-level system and attendant warm front lift northeast into the region and bring periods of showers and thunderstorms overnight with lows in the low to mid 60s. Tuesday morning looks quite rainy at the moment, so give yourself some extra time as visibility could be down in a few areas. After morning rains we should see a lull in activity but it looks like a mostly cloudy, moist day (moisty cloudy? lol) with highs in the 70s. Another round of showers could move in by later afternoon and evening as the final part of event starts to pull away. Lows will be in the low 60s. Then high pressure nudges into the region, and produces warm, sunny days with highs in the 70s to low/mid 80s for Wednesday and Thursday, before another system presses in from the west with its frontal boundary. This means Friday could feature more showers and thunderstorms, but it's too early to get any definition on timing, intensity, etc. at this range. Currently, the following weekend looks really nice, so let's hope that holds! Have a great day! >>> BE KIND <<< “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you've got to be kind.” --Kurt Vonnegut
