YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, fair weather will rule our collective roost for today and tomorrow with highs today as high pressure dominates, driving highs into the mid to upper 50s today, and upper 50s to low 60s tomorrow.
Lows tonight will drop into the mid 30s with some patchy fog possible, and lows Saturday night will hang in the 40s as clouds increase and some widely scattered showers move through late Saturday night into Sunday morning.
By Sunday, we’ll have strong high pressure over the western Atlantic and an even stronger low center barreling toward eastern Great Lakes.
The pressure field that moves through our region will have an increasingly strong pressure gradient, which will kick up southerly winds by Sunday morning into the afternoon, probably be gusting about 25-35mph to start.
There will be some scattered showers mixed with dry periods and highs reaching up into the upper 50s to mid 60s.
By the time we get to later afternoon and evening, we should see the main area of heavier showers moving towards and into New England, and winds should ramp up at this happens, gusting 30-50mph at times. Some outages will be possible.
Sunday night into Monday morning looks quite rainy with lows dipping into the low to mid 40s with Monday highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s.
We’ll dry out after a showery Monday morning and continue with mild conditions that feature highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s with sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday.
By Thursday, another frontal boundary will likely bring some more showers to the greater WMass region.
Have a great day and if you haven’t had a chance yet and would like me to stick around, I’m looking for around 395 final patrons out of 59k followers to chip in any amount by Sunday ($10 once, $3/month, whatever feels right) to help me reach my 4% reader-support goal (1 in 25 folks chipping in what they can).
