>>> MORNING DISCUSSION <<<
Good morning everybody, I know yesterday I was supposed to be off but felt the need to post a few things, but for sure after today, II will be off through at least Thursday, and back Friday or Saturday morning given the fair weather incoming.
As for today, there isn’t much else to say that wasn’t covered in the nutshell above.
It’s a rainy and damp day with more of a periodic, stratiform type rainfall for us in the greater WMass region with heavier rain bands at times, and more of a convective presentation in far eastern CT / RI and into EMass, Cape/Islands where Flood Watches are up.
Intensity waxes and wanes, but with a quarter to half inch of rain laid into the ground already, we’ll see more through tonight.
It will be cool with highs only in the 60s, so for those who happen to be home today, soup making is not a bad idea, nor bread baking.
By tomorrow, high pressure swoops in slowly, clears us out save for some morning patchy fog, and sunshine develops and lasts through the rest of the work week with light northerly flow and highs either side of 70º with lows either side of 50º along with lower humidity, hooray!
Next weekend is split, with fairly fair weather Saturday, and showers moving in late at night into Sunday and likely lasting into early next week.
Have a great day!
>>> BE KIND <<<
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
–Kurt Vonnegut
