WEATHER REPORT
Well, well, well, top of the morning to you! We’ve got plenty of patchy dense fog out there this morning, notably in the Berkshires, along the Rt. 2 corridor of northern MA and up in SVT and SWNH (and elsewhere in spots), but that will dissipate as we rotate to face our star on this giant tilt-a-sphere thing we’re respirating all over.

It’s chilly this morning with a number of low 30s readings noted in the central and northern Berkshires, a few areas of Franklin County and southwest NH and mostly in southern VT, with a couple of upper 20s for good measure. #Frosty

For today, we’ll see a massive area of high pressure across the eastern U.S. and centered near the Mid-Atlantic coastline begin to drift east offshore to our south.

This will develop a light southwest flow that begins today and picks up warmer air and delivers it to us Wednesday and Thursday #nowthatswhatwecallservice

Expect a sunny Tuesday with light wind and highs in the low to mid 60s, with a few upper 60s possible in northern CT. Lows will dip into the low to mid 40s for most of us under mostly clear skies, though some patchy fog is possible late.

For Wednesday, the pick of the week! Sunshine, highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, and a light south wind, just gorgeous! Lows dip into the low 50s with clouds increasing.

By Thursday, while we may get some sunny breaks early in the morning depending on actual speed of the incoming cold front, expect a mostly cloudy day, and a few showers will be possible by late morning to early afternoon.

This front looks potent, and will be draped southeastward off of a low center near the Great Lakes that will be winding up and tracking this cold front in an east-northeastward track.

Temps will be mild on Thursday before the cold front sweeps the region overnight, and southeast winds ahead of this system will gust to 30mph by afternoon, with showers increasing towards the evening.

Heavy rain at times is expected Thursday night with gusty winds as well, and we can’t rule out isolated power outages, or some foliage removal if the winds really maximize overnight and gust over 40mph. But, that’s still uncertain, yet possible.

Lows Thursday night during our dynamic rainy and windy cold frontal passage will be near 50º and we could see a few thunderstorms, too.

Rain showers and the front should clear to the east early Friday morning, and sunshine will develop at some point in the morning with highs in the 60s with westerly breezes. Lows will land near 40º.

The weekend looks LOVELY with highs either side of 60º and lows either side of 40º with plenty of sunshine.

More dynamic weather is possible early next week with another strong frontal boundary being signaled, but we’re going to focus on this coming Thursday night to Friday morning period for now.

Have a great day, and please check out my 2023 calendar, it’s a great local-color-filled daily companion, you’ll learn a bunch of cool local weather history, and it’s great for holiday gifts too!
