YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, we have surface high pressure moving in from the west while an old upper trough swings into northern New England along with a few weak shortwaves rotating around it and through the northeast U.S. over the next couple of days.
The result of those shortwaves will be some fair weather clouds at times this afternoon, and then by tomorrow and tomorrow night a few isolated showers will be possible Wednesday afternoon preceding a cold front that comes through at night with more clouds, and a reinforcing shot of cooler air that could bring some NW wind gusts to 25mph Thursday and a first frost to some of us late Thursday night.
Aside from that (and backing up), it’s fair weather for days once again as our dry pattern continues until our next rain chance, which is Sunday night into Monday, best I can tell.
For today, highs will reach the upper 50s to mid 60s under mostly sunny skies with some early patchy fog that will burn off pretty quickly. Some afternoon fair weather clouds are expected as cooler air moves in aloft. Lows will drop to either side of 40º.
For Wednesday, a shortwave will move through the region by afternoon with highs in the mid 50s to low 60s, and a few isolated showers possible later in the afternoon and evening when more of a partly sunny/cloudy sky will develop. Lows will drop to the mid 30s to low 40s as a weak cold front moves through our region.
For Thursday, a breezier, mostly sunny day is expected behind the front, with cooler highs only in the 50s for just about everybody.
At night, we should see clear skies and that will help maximize radiational cooling and drop temps well into the 30s for the first frost for some folks, even though I know some recently had frost.
High pressure scoots east underneath (i.e. to the south of) New England on Friday, and that will warm temps up a touch into the upper 50s to mid 60s with sunny skies, followed by lows in the 40s.
Saturday is the pick of the stretch with highs in the 65-70º range under mostly sunny skies, with highs in the low to mid 60s on Sunday, which will also be a Sun Day.
By Sunday night into Monday our next chance of rainfall will be nearby, and a giant, cooler high pressure system will be positioned to its west over the central U.S., which will help drive renewed, cooler northwest flow into the region next week.
Have a great day, and remember this: my intention is that my 2025 Weather Calendar will contribute to your life a sense of connection to place, to community, and to provide a zone of daily refuge. Plus, it can serve as a fun holiday gift for others, you can order below. Thank you.
