YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, we’ve got a few showers moving through the region this morning, but are generally light.
The valley floor sort of represents the western fringe of our ocean storm that has been lashing Cape Cod (especially the outer Cape), and from here east through CMass and EMass we can expect elevated humidity with dewpoints in the low 60s.
We’ll also see some scattered showers at times today, with more of a partly to mostly sunny day expected west of the CT River Valley as the storm’s cloud shield only makes it so far west into New England. Highs will reach the low to mid 70s west, and only in the 60s to maybe 70º east.
Easterly wind gusts will also pick up, about 15-30mph at times, highest to the east.
For tonight, a few showers are possible in CMass and northeast CT with lows in the 50s and continued breezy conditions well east of the valley and lighter north to northeast wind in the WMass region.
For Saturday, the storm looks to bob west and make its closest swipe into New England before high pressure to the north pushes it south and then southeast and away by later Saturday night into early Sunday.
Therefore, Saturday morning I expect showers that may push west past the valley and into the western hilltowns for a time, but these sharp cutoffs with ocean storms are notoriously hard to pinpoint.
Highs Saturday will generally be in the upper 60s, and we should see drying from any showers that DO make it into WMass afternoon, as the recede back into northeast CT and CMass/EMass.
Mostly cloudy skies should persist Saturday night, with clearing from west to east Sunday, with sunshine developing and highs reaching the 65-70º range, followed by chilly lows in the mid to upper 40s under partly cloudy skies.
We should remain dry towards the middle of next week with highs only in the 65-70º range, and lows generally in the mid 40s to low 50s, but clouds will be on the increase as a system moves slowly east from the Great Lakes, potentially bringing needed rain here by Wednesday or Thursday.
This system may help open up the door for a tropical system to feed rainfall into our region by the weekend after this one, or early the following week, so I will keep you updated.
Have a great day!
