Good morning folks, we’ve got some low clouds across much of the area this morning, but these will dissipate with time leading to more sunshine today.
SUMMARY
We’re expecting plenty of sunshine from today through Tuesday with heat and humidity increasing Monday and Tuesday when temps top out in the low 90s before a front brings some scattered showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday followed by much drier and seasonable conditions for Thursday through Labor Day Weekend, but before we dive into all of the weather details below, let’s check a note from our local weekend sponsor, #YankeeMattressFactory, with their main headquarters in Agawam, MA along with stores located around the valley.

A NOTE FROM OUR WEEKEND SPONSOR:
DHTWN is sponsored by members, patrons, and Yankee Mattress Factory. Yankee Mattress is employee-owned, and mattresses are handmade locally in Agawam, MA. Several years ago I purchased a Yankee mattress and was very pleased with their quality and the buying experience, which was friendly and low pressure. Starting on September 1st and running through October 31st, Yankee Mattress will be partnering with the American Cancer Society to raise money to support breast cancer research and local services. A portion of each mattress sale will go towards their goal of donating $10,000 towards this cause. Visit the Yankee Mattress store closest to you in Agawam, Springfield, Northampton, or Greenfield, or click for more info: https://yankeemattressfactory.com/

***DHTWN DAILY WEATHER DISCUSSION***
——————————————-
Good morning everybody, as mentioned in the summary, we have some low clouds across much of the region that will slowly burn off with time, providing us with a mostly sunny day and highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. Humidity will still be present, but relatively in check, or “semi under control” as an old friend likes to say about things.
Wind will be calm to light southerly given that high pressure is sitting on top of us like a mother hen this morning. As this high slowly slides east and off the coastline, the clockwise flow around it will turn our wind more southwesterly, which will advect heat and humidity into the region Monday and Tuesday.
For tonight, as this humidity increases and as temps drop into the low 60s, we’ll see patchy fog developing during the pre-dawn hours.
For Monday, after any morning fog or low clouds burns off, we’ll get a late-season hot Monday underway with highs reaching the 85-90º range as dewpoints climb well into the 60s.
With this new humid air mass in place, lows will only sit down into the mid to upper 60s with patchy fog late.

By Tuesday, our hottest day of this brief heat resurgence will arrive and produce highs in the upper 80s to low 90s with some mid 80s up in southern VT and the Monadnock Region of NH.
It should develop into a partly sunny day by afternoon with our frontal boundary approaching, and possibly producing some isolated showers or thunderstorms before sunset.
At night, humidity will peak, and so will any scattered showers or thunderstorms with lows in the 60s. Severe weather is not expected at this time.
Any lingering activity should wind up sometime Wednesday morning with sunshine developing by afternoon. Highs will reach the low to mid 80s, and then at night the air will really dry out as our temps drop into the mid to upper 50s for lows.
Thursday and Friday look absolutely lovely with highs only in the 75-80º range under mostly sunny skies with light wind and low humidity, and lows will be in the 50s each night.
By Saturday, we’ll warm up a bit to the upper 70s to mid 80s, and there are some signals we could heat back up to close out the Labor Day Weekend of 2022, but no real signs of wet weather can be discerned at this time.
Have a great day!
