Western Mass Weather for August 14, 2021


COLD FRONT BRINGS HAPPINESS TONIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT ALSO SOME SHOWERS THIS MORNING, AND A THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE IN THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON BEFORE THE WHOOSHENING ARRIVES… HUMID TODAY, DRIER TONIGHT, GORGEOUS TOMORROW INTO TUESDAY… DRY ALL 3 DAYS… TUESDAY EVENING THE HUMIDITY STARTS TO CREEP UP… WEDNESDAY INTO LATE WEEK HUMIDITY RETURNS AND SO DOES THREAT FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS/STORMS WITH FRED’S REMNANTS JUICING UP THE PLACE… DHTWN’S LIMITED-EDITION TENTH-AVERSARY APPAREL SALE ENDS 8/22 (NEW DESIGN)… 7:40AM SAT…

Good morning folks, well, we survived another heat wave, but didn’t get through it without some of us getting bruised and battered by severe thunderstorms and resultant wind damage on Thursday late afternoon.

We’ve got one more humid day today, and that will bring it with scattered morning showers (some are already entering the Berkshires, Litchfields, and southwest VT), and we’ll need some patchy fog to burn off in spots as well before our mostly cloudy sky is fully revealed on this Saturday. A few sunny breaks are possible, with the best chance of yellow-white sky orb sightings occurring late in the day after the cold front passes.

It will be humid with dewpoints in the mid 60s to low 70s during the first half of the day, but once The Whooshening takes place tonight, they will be crashing into the 40s and 50s overnight into Sunday morning, hooray!

Highs will reach the upper 70s to mid 80s today, depending on your elevation (on the cooler side the higher up you are), and we can thank the abundance of clouds with our cold frontal passage for keeping us from hitting the low 90s again today, as that would have been the case… thanks clouds!

After morning showers, the cold front pushes through during the afternoon, and a few thunderstorms will be possible through mid afternoon along and west of the I-91 corridor, with a chance for strengthening storms the further east you move toward Boston.

Central MA and northeast CT could see a strong to severe thunderstorm after 2pm or 3pm today as it’s more unstable back that way.

All of this messy soupy morass clears east with the front, and tonight we see big improvements in the weather department, thankfully.

Clouds go away, humidity lower dramatically, northwest breezes kick in, and we dry out rapidly. Lows will dive into the low to upper 50s, and we’ll have a peaceful, beautiful Sunday morning to enjoy.

Sunday and Monday look like copies of each other – delightful, lovely copies with abundant sun, low humidity, highs in the mid 70s to low 80s, light wind, and lows in the 50s to low 60s.

Tuesday looks dry as well, but more of a partly sunny day as the remnants of Fred starts to slowly spread upper level moisture into our skies above.

Highs will reach the upper 70s to mid 80s, and humidity will creep up more noticeably later in the night and into the early morning hours of Wednesday, after lows in the low to mid 60s.

By Wednesday through Friday, we enter back into a more humid, warmer pattern, though no heat waves are expected as of now.

The Fred Remnants will produce mostly cloudy skies with some sun working back in by Friday. Highs will be firmly in the low to mid 80s, and scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible at times.

This humid stretch should last into the weekend, and possibly break by Sunday or the following Monday.

Have a great day peeps!
