Not Feeling The Fall

Posted by Chris Lambert

Walk out the door yet this morning?  Wow! The high humidity hits you right away and with such an unstable and soupy air mass in place, the atmosphere has had no issues firing off downpours. 

When it rains, it rains hard, but we also have seen some lulls between storms.  That trend continues throughout the morning, with showers and storms becoming fewer this afternoon.  Even a few breaks of sun appear this afternoon, although, any sun could help re-fire a few more storms.  Highs reach the lower 80s and with dewpoints in the lower 70s, it'll feel like a muggy July day, not September.

We'll dry out tonight, but still remain on the muggy side with lows in the middle to upper 60s.  Tomorrow looks dry as well.

Couple things to watch over the weekend... 1) Leslie 2) Timing any rain.

Leslie right now appears to favor a pass several hundred miles off our coastline, keeping her rains and winds offshore.  However, it's close enough and spends enough time over the Atlantic that it will continue to produce a pounding surf with rip currents and possible beach erosion an issue extending into early next week.  We'll continue to track Leslie through the week.

Timing any rain from us will also be a bit of a challenge as a system tries to work in from the west.  As of now, much of Saturday appears to be dry, followed by the risk of showers and storms working in Saturday night and Sunday.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.

Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies.  Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?

Still Good

How about yesterday?  The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th.  Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive. 

Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day?  Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much?  It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph.  No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.
