YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, first of all, thank you so much for all of the reports and interactions over the past 4 weeks since that major upper ridge brought our first heat wave to the region in mid June, which ushered in the new summer pattern after what as truly a lovely, peaceful, and temperate Spring season. It has been quite an effort to stay on top of all of the varied and at times severe weather conditions, and the past two days surely were the exclamation point at the end of this 4-week soupy, hot, and stormy slog we just endured.
Secondly, given that the weather is calming waaay down over the next few days, and that I am completely exhausted, I am going to take a few days of downtime so I can rest and catch up on this thing called sleep that has been most elusive for me, especially over the past week. I will be back by sometime on Sunday or Monday morning at the latest.
As for our weather outlook into the middle of next week, we’ve got some final morning showers that are working east-northeast through the region, and some patchy fog as well.
The showers will kick off to the east as the cold front continues through the region. Dewpoints are currently in the 60s to low 70s still, and some patchy fog exists.
Fog will burn off, clouds will clear, showers will leave, and humidity will decrease with time through the mid day and afternoon period as sunshine increases with highs in the mid 70s to low 80s for today AND tomorrow.
Lows tonight will be firmly in the 50s, and I can tell you I am flinging open every single window in my home that I possibly can starting tonight!
After a sunny Friday with high pressure overhead, we will start to see an uptick in temps and humidity over the weekend, and while it will be mostly dry and partly sunny to mostly sunny on average, we could see an isolated shower oro maybe a thunderstorm as couple of weak systems track through parts of New England, but a bit displaced from our particular region.
One can never really STOP monitoring the weather, because as we all know, it does what it wants to when it feels like it, so I will pop in if something more than an isolated shower or storm pops over the weekend, but it should be mostly or entirely dry, and highs will climb into the upper 70s to mid 80s with lows in the low to mid 60s, along with dewpoints cresting into the low to mid 60s.
So, humidity comes up a bit this weekend after a very dry Thursday afternoon through Friday night, but it will still be largely tolerable.
I expect that on Monday, it’ll be similar to the weekend in terms of temps and humidity with highs in the 80s under sunny skies, and lows near 65º as we start to cloud up and see southwest flow develop.
Sometime by Tuesday or Wednesday, we are going to enter into another muggy and showery pattern as a system works up from the Mid-Atlantic region.
While I don’t see any heat waves right now or 90º temperatures, it does look more unsettled into the middle of next week, but I will be sure to update you on that in much more detail when I am back from my break. Be sure to enjoy this meteorological respite!
