STAYING CONNECTED 2020

Good morning everybody, we’ve got many spots reporting temps in the 50s and 60s, and patchy fog, dense in places, and drizzle as well for a fairly wet start for some.
As the day wears on, fog will burn off and any drizzle will dissipate, and a partly sunny day should result with highs in the low to mid 70s thanks to a light southerly flow into the WMass region with high pressure southeast of us.
Lows tonight will bottom out in the upper 50s to low 60s, and as dewpoint temps and humidity continues to slowly rise, more patchy dense fog is expected overnight. An isolated shower or two is possible late Saturday night into early Sunday.
After fog burns off tomorrow morning, we’re still left with more clouds than sun for our Sunday, especially later in the day. Some partial sunshine can be expected earlier on. Highs will reach the mid to upper 70s, and humidity will be on the rise, with dewpoints moving past the 60º mark. Lows will be in the low 60s.
Still, to be clear, we’re not going to be experiencing oppressive humidity levels in the region into next week, but it will be and feel muggy as dewpoints rise into the mid 60s or so by Tuesday into Wednesday.
The first in what hopefully will be a series of several solid rainfall chances arrives Sunday night into Monday.
This is essentially a pre-frontal fetch of moisture that should track northeast from the Mid-Atlantic region and provide at least some scattered showers Sunday night into Monday, and may bring a tenth to two-tenths of an inch of rain to the region.
The Monday through Wednesday stretch (and possibly even into Thursday) looks mostly cloudy sky-wise, with highs in the mid to upper 70s through that period. Lows will be in the low 60s as well and it will be pretty humid.
After the first round of showers late Sunday into Monday, we should see a lull in the action, with hopefully another stronger round of rain late Tuesday into Wednesday.
This will depend on the exact position of the Great Lakes trough, and how far east the cold fronts advance toward our region, along with how a piece of energy develops along the Mid-Atlantic coast and IF that phases well with one of the incoming fronts to produce a solid #SluggaRain Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Here’s hoping, because we really need it. The recent Drought Monitor map is attached, which shows moderate drought across the entire region, with a pocket of severe to extreme drought in the Hampden County, southern Worcester County and northern CT region.
We will cool down substantially by Thursday with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s for a more seasonable early October temperature regime.
Foliage is also coming on about a week early this year, with color already evident in the western hilltowns, Berkshires, and southern VT. This is due to the drought and the 4 frosty nights we had with lows in the 20s to low 30s recently.
The season is a-changin’, my friends, and hopefully we’ll get some sky water to rain down soon enough.
Have a great day!
