YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, we continue the theme of shoulder-shrugging weather conditions across our region, meaning there is little fanfare in our near future other than a few shower chances, a late-week warm up, and a next-week cool down.

For today, temps kick off in the 50s and will rise well into the 60s with a few spots hitting 70º with partly sunny skies on average. We might have a few onshore sprinkles into eastern CMass, or a couple of hilltown/mountain sprinkles later today with our weak cold front passage, but that’s about it.

Lows will dip to either side of 50º and a light east wind today will become variable and then turn out of the south and southwest tomorrow and Friday.

A pair of mostly sunny days arrive Thursday and Friday behind today’s cold frontal passage, with highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s tomorrow, and then the mid to upper 70s on Friday for some late-summah flavor! Lows will dip into the 50s.

Clouds increase Friday night and a few showers will be possible overnight into Saturday morning with another weak cold front.

Sunshine should break out later Saturday, so most of the weekend looks quite nice!

Highs will reach the upper 60s to mid 70s Saturday, and then the mid 60s to low 70s on Sunday, which looks like the sunnier of the two weekend days, with lows in the 50s.

The pattern change comes late Sunday night into Monday when a stronger cold front tied to a more potent low center up in Canada sends cooler air towards New England.

This will bring the best chance for showers starting as early as Monday morning and lasting into afternoon before the front’s passage, which will kick up northwest wind gusts to 25mph and usher in cooler air next week, so warm season lovahs need to soak up the Thursday through weekend period, especially Friday!

Highs only reach the low to mid 60s Monday, and then some folks will hang in the 50s for highs next week, with a potential for some hilltown frost, so I will keep you updated as we get closer.

Much of next week should feature fair weather conditions and our first real Autumnal taste.

I am taking tomorrow off, so have a great today, and I will be back Friday morning!
