Good morning folks, we have some patchy dense fog in a number of spots this morning, so take it slow when casting your trillions of human cells (a/k/a your body) forward into these misty midsts.

This fog, where it forms, will lift with time, and reveal a beautiful, mostly sunny day. This fair weather should persist through the weekend prior to an upper trough pushing into the Great Lakes and bringing the chance for more showers and downpours by Tuesday and Wednesday, but before we dive into all of the weather details below, let’s check a note from our local and delicious sponsor, #TandemBagelCo, with their newest location in West Springfield, MA.

WEATHER REPORT
Good morning everybody, there’s not too much to talk about this morning regarding our weather as it can be broken down into two main chunks: Chunk1 constitutes a fair weather stretch from today through Monday, and Chunk2 is comprised of an expected wet weather period late Monday and into Tuesday and Wednesday.

For today, we have huge high pressure building in from the west with time. Flow and light wind will still be onshore out of the northeast, and highs will reach the mid to upper 70s with a few spots hitting 80º.

Lows tonight will drop into the low to mid 50s with calm wind and clear sky.

For Friday, another mostly sunny day arrives as high pressure moves into the region, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and lows in the mid 50s under clear skies.

Saturday will see the high pressure system passing into and through the region by Sunday.

Saturday looks like the warmest of the two weekend days with highs in the low to mid 80s and lows in the upper 50s. Expect light wind, and tranquil conditions. Sunday sits down a touch, more into the upper 70s to low 80s for highs with lows either side of 60º.

By Monday, we likely experience one last fair weather day with mostly sunny skies (especially first half of the day) with highs in the mid to upper 70s, and lows in the low 60s as clouds build overnight.

By Tuesday and Wednesday, an upper level trough will spin into the Great Lakes, and pull more humid air from the south and cast it into the New England region.

This will generate a period of at least scattered showers on Tuesday into Wednesday, but the more clear impacts and rain amounts are murky at this time, so check back with me for more details as we get closer.

But hey, at least for now some more rain is on the way.

As Fat Albert said, hey, Hey, HEY! Have a great day!
