YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, well yesterday certainly produced a nice drink of water for many of us, with some areas seeing over an inch of rainfall, so that’s good news, especially since we’re now staring down another 4 consecutive days of dry weather!
It’s damp out there this morning, and with dewpoints either side of 60º, it’s a bit humid too, but that should improve (i.e. dry further) by afternoon, especially north of the MA/CT state line, as humidity will linger longer in CT.
As we step off and away from this damp start and start to dry and clear a bit, it won’t be as bright going forward as past weeks. This is because we have a combination of clouds on the northern fringe of Helene pulled north due to our eastern upper level trough, but also because as high pressure drops south into Maine and Atlantic Canada, the clockwise circulation will drive onshore flow into southern New England.
Both of these features will be helping to produce cloud development, so in general we can expect a cloudier start this morning with some partial filtered sunshine through high clouds by this afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 70s, with temps near 70º in the high terrain. Lows will dip into the low to mid 50s tonight.
As for the weekend, we should see partly sunny skies on average, again with some cloudier periods at times, and highs in the low to mid 70s with lows in the low to mid 50s, with some patchy possible by Sunday morning.
Monday looks similar to the weekend to kick off the work week, with another partly sunny to mostly cloudy day with similar highs and lows, with lower humidity expected throughout this 4-day fair weather stretch.
By Tuesday, I’ll be watching the combination of an upper low near the Great Lakes and associated surface frontal boundary, interacting with remnant shower moisture from Helene, all of which will track east toward New England and the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
This should thicken clouds on Tuesday, with highs expected to only reach the 65-70º range, and we could see a few showers by afternoon.
More likely at this stage is that we’ll see rain develop into a steadier presentation Tuesday night and through Wednesday as the front sweeps eastward with highs only in the low to mid 60s with rain tapering off by Wednesday night.
Dry weather moves back in for the late week period, but with cooler temps and highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s.
I hope you have a great day!
