YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, yet another chilly start is greeting us this morning with temps in the upper 20s through thee 30s, but temps will rebound today as a large upper ridge is pressing east and shoving the old upper trough responsible for this cold and a nearby coastal low out to sea.
 
This will open the doors for even more sunshine, and more importantly a warmer flow to develop into southern New England over the next 6 days.
 
For today, the last of a northerly wind will perhaps gust to 15mph at times, but otherwise we will start shifting our wind around from the north to calm to more of a west and southwest wind later this weekend, which will start to develop warmer temps into our region into the middle of next week.
 
Highs today will reach the low to mid 60s with lows in the low to mid 30s for one last night of patchy frost before temps lift away from those levels through at least next Wednesday night.
 
Highs over the weekend will climb into the mid 60s to low 70s, warmest on Sunday, sunshine though out with clear skies at night.
 
Monday through Wednesday is when southwest warming flow maximizes through the greater WMass region with highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s and lows in the 45-50º range.
 
Thereafter a stronger-looking cold front should sweep the region Wednesday night into Thursday with a period of showers, which represents our next chance for rainfall.
 
Have a great day, and please remember me for your holiday gift shopping, or if you need a calendar (order link below):
