Good morning everybody, I want to start by saying thanks very much for sharing all of the powerful stories about your experience with the Springfield Tornado last night. I hope we get lucky and never have to deal with such a thing again.
We have much more pedestrian weather to walk through over the next bunch of days, and I will summarize those details below:
SUMMARY
–For today, morning sunshine should be enjoyed, as it will be increasingly hiding away as more clouds build in from the northwest with a weak system moving overhead, ahead of a warm frontal passage tonight
–Expect a blend of sun and clouds in the morning, then a mostly cloudy afternoon with a few peeks/periods of sun, and a few showers as well, with most staying dry
–Highs will reach the mid 60s in southern VT to the mid 70s in northern CT and the valley with a light southwest wind
–For tonight, we’ll have a better chance of showers, and possibly a thunderstorm late as a warm front passes through the region
–Lows will be milder than the last two nights, bottoming out in the mid 50s
–The Wednesday through Saturday period looks seasonably warm (70s to low/mid 80s)
–For Wednesday, we’ll get into a warmer sector with highs in the mid 70s to low 80s with a few showers possible
–Showers abate Wednesday night, leading to a partly cloudy evening with lows in the mid to upper 50s
–Thursday is the pick of the week, as drier air sweeps in for a day, producing mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s… wicked nice!
–However, clouds and humidity will increase as another warm front moves through the region Thursday night with lows in the upper 50s to low 60s. A shower is possible late
–Friday looks unsettled, with the best chance for showers and even a few stronger thunderstorms with some decent instability spreading into the region
–Highs will reach the low to mid 80s, and it will be quite humid for a day and a night
–Lows will be in the low to mid 60s
–Saturday and Sunday is unclear, given uncertainty around how fast or slow a cold front will push into the region
–For now, expect some showers on Saturday with highs 75-80 and drier/cooler for Sunday into Monday
Get some sun on you this morning if you can…
