The Cover Of A Book

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

You know that saying...judging a book by its cover....that will work today as we start off the weekend with a big bag of  clouds and even few sprinkles at times but the day is not completely tanked, only partially. The pattern is the same....humid with warm/hot conditions expected for the next several days.

Even though the pattern is a hot/stuffy pattern you can get these little tiny storms to affect you. That's what we have right now--a little weather system darting through southern New England. This little system will move out of here during the afternoon so plan on increasing sunshine after noon and when that happens, temps will skyrocket up near 90. Whoever sees the sun first will likely reach the low 90s and where those clouds remain stubborn (leaning toward Rt 2 area) temps will crawl into the upper 80s. We will all see high humidity for the day.

Sunday will offer the same amount of heat/humidity but the sky condition is likely to be reversed. We will likely start Sunday with hazy sunshine and then clouds win out during the afternoon hours. We may even see a few hit-n-miss showers & t-storms tomorrow afternoon.

Not a fan of this heat or humidity? Uh oh---the pattern holds firm until next Wednesday evening. At that time a strong cool front (by July standards) will blast through here sending Thing 1(heat) and Thing 2(humidity) packing for a few days.

Have a great weekend!

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.
