YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION

Good morning folks, high pressure is passing east of us over the next couple of days, and that will combine with an upper low over the Great Lakes to produce a southerly flow over the weekend that will pop dewpoints up into the 60s for about 24 hours (Saturn’s Day later and Sun’s Day earlier), so humidity will increase, along with a period of scattered showers.

I do not anticipate any electricity or wind (i.e. thunderstorms) with this frontal passage overnight Saturday into very early Sunday, and the timing of when showers arrive in the WMass region is still a bit uncertain, ranging anywhere from late afternoon and evening, to perhaps as late as around midnight Saturday night, lasting into early Sunday morning.

As the front clears the region Sunday morning, a dry slot will punch into the region, turning Sunday afternoon into a sunnier stretch and the weekend pick, with fair weather into early next week.

Given that we’ve got another three days of sunshine, dry conditions, and low humidity to precede this weekend, it’s going to be a fair weather fun-for-all for sure.

Highs will top out in the mid to upper 70s today through Friday the way it looks now, with lows in the mid to upper 40s tonight with some patchy fog. Lows will dip to the 50s Thursday night, and hover somewhere near 60º Friday night as southerly flow strengthens with more humid air.

There is a potential that as a potent ocean storm set to rake Nova Scotia as an early-season rainy nor’easter passes near our latitude that a few showers may develop into CMass, northeast CT and EMass, but I think WMass should remain dry.

Saturday morning will cloud up, but it should be dry during that time, and into the early afternoon, with first showers arriving sometime between 4-10pm timeframe, best I can tell at 3 days out.

Highs will reach the low to mid 70s Saturday, and cool down into the mid 60s to low 70s Sunday, with sunshine and high pressure expected Monday and Tuesday with highs either side of 70º.

While there is a weak signal for a warm up sometime in the latter half of September, for now, it’s steady forward with 60s and 70s by day and 40s and 50s by night with very little rain in the forecast.

Have a great day!
