WEATHER REPORT
Good morning folks, I hope things go your way today and during this new week. We only have so many of them left in each of our lives, so let’s try and make the best of things, even when they don’t go our way.

We’ve got a southerly flow ongoing into the region over the next few days, and as such it’s going to be quite mild and even humid through Wednesday (and possibly even Thursday, which is our transition today back to more autumnal conditions).

For today, we start off cloudy and dry, but more showers will work back into the region from south to north, and we can’t rule out a downpour or rumble of thunder by afternoon into evening.

The showers may be more steady along and east of the I-91 corridor by this afternoon, but we’ll see how it plays out. Again, rain could fall heavily in some spots.

Highs will crest into the upper 50s to mid 60s, and lows tonight will drop into the low to mid 50s with patchy fog and a few more showers possible.

For Tuesday we should enter a relative lull with isolated lighter showers at times, dry and cloudy others, but temps will warm into the 65-70º range along with an increase in humidity, with lows dropping into the upper 50s with patchy fog in spots.

Wednesday is also warm, and humid with dewpoints in the low 60s and high temps in the 65-70º range.

More scattered showers are also expected at times, with lows in the low to mid 50s.

Wednesday into Thursday morning will be interesting as we’ll have a storm passing to our northwest while a coastal sub-tropical low retrogrades east to west toward New England.

Rain from the coastal low is likely relegated to EMass, and showers from the NY state low should be mainly light and scattered here, but a cold front from that inland low center will move through sometime on Thursday.

We may squeak one more very mild day out Thursday which should feature increasing sunshine, but then temps plummet at night into the 30s.

Then we are visited by an autumnal air mass with highs in the 55-60º range and with lows in the mid 30s under mostly sunny skies, so a nice weekend looks to be in the offing!

Have a great day, and if you like my work you can support it by buying one or three (for gifts!) of my 2023 calendars… it’s a great local-color-filled daily companion and this year is replete with tons of cool local storm history!
