YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, our cold front has left the building and we’re left with damp ground, and a light shower or two over the northern Berkshires and southwest VT this morning.
Otherwise, sunshine sprays the day with a few fair weather clouds by afternoon and a high terrain spot shower possible late.
Highs will only be in the 60s, and with a mild pressure gradient remaining, west winds will gust 15-25mph today, perhaps up to 30mph in the high terrain.
Lows tonight will dip into the mid to upper 40s under mostly clear skies.
Monday and Tuesday will feature high pressure approaching from the west, and highs should rise into the low to mid 70s under mostly sunny skies. A weak disturbance rotates around the departing upper low which may bring a few spot showers late Monday or Monday night to the high terrain west of the CT River. Lows will drop to either side of 50º.
By Wednesday, high pressure moves overhead, and we warm into the upper 70s to low 80s for highs with lows in the 50s under sunny/clear skies.
By Thursday through Saturday, the upper ridge will be positioned across the eastern seaboard, and surface high will be southeast of us, which will promote southwesterly, warming flow into New England.
This will push highs well into the 80s for the late period into the weekend, so summah lovahs will get a reminder of the passing warm season.
Lows will continue to drop into the 50s, and dewpoint temps should hover in the 50s to low 60s through the week, so humidity is expected to be tolerable within this upcoming warm stretch.
Have a great rest of your weekend, and thanks for the reports yesterday!
HAIKU OF THE DAY:
Scattered blue rays spray
Oceans reflect blue skyward
Earth says “Hi” to Space
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.”
