Just Awesome--Unofficially Speaking

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Wowza....if this is the end of summer--unofficially speaking, what a summer it was, huh? Another weekend that is featuring abundant sunshine, in fact with more sunshine tomorrow, all 3 of our holiday weekends this year will go into the books as being sunny...not a drop. That's impressive. No different tomorrow with mainly sunny skies, low humidity and a little less wind out there. Just about ideal for the beaches, tennis courts, apple orchards and golf courses.

Most of the upcoming week is dry yet again (perhaps the only *complaint* for this summer...dry!) The one day that will offer the chance of rain is Wednesday and that will be a day with a chance of scattered showers and higher humidity. After that, dry & (apple) crisp air moves back in for the end of the week and next weekend.

Summer 2010 Odds-n-ends:

*3rd warmest summer for Boston.

*7th warmest summer for Boston.

*All three holiday weekends were dry.

*Of the 15 weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 11 were completely dry. Amazing.

Finally Fall?

Tough to feel like it's football season with highs in the 90s, so it was fitting that as Earl passed by, much cooler and drier weather filtered in just in time for the full slate of college football games to commence yesterday.  It does feel a bit like early fall today and especially tonight as highs hold in the mid 70s today and lows drop into the 40s and 50s tonight.  Great BBQ weather, great golf weather, and almost great beach weather, although some may find it cool. 

A Return to Normality

No threat of tropical storms over the next 7days. Just want to get that out of the way. We did have a breezy day today and that was not from Earl that was actually from a cool front that blasted through here early today (also the same front that did not allow Earl to directly impact us here in New England.) That front is also responsible for shoving warm, humid air out of here---so go turn that A/C off and open up the house/apartment. The rest of the holiday weekend looks fantastic with sunny skies & low humidity both days. Whether you're heading to the beaches one last time (surf will still be high with rip currents--be careful) or heading out to the Stow area to pick apples you'll have temps in the mid 70s in all locations.

Goodbye Earl

That more southeastward track of a downgraded Earl kept things a lot calmer around these parts, but I still believe it's better to be safe than sorry. Earlier this week when it was looking like a Cat 2 hurricane had the potential to cross right over Nantucket, there was no doubt preparations needed to be taken. Now as we move into this unofficial last weekend of summer, it's time to say goodbye to Earl and move on without much clean-up to worry about!

Earl Loses Steam

Oh, Earl.

At one point he seemed invincible. Dry air swirling around the Bahamas didn't stop him and upper level winds blowing across his thunderstorms didn't seem to bother him...
