Temp Slide

Posted by Pete Bouchard

After that ruckus last night, the peaceful, easy feeling returned this afternoon. It was a spectacular finish to a rough storm.

That front is still sitting offshore, however, and I'm wary of its plume of clouds. Don't want to overpromise sun in the coming days...so I won't. These high (and by Friday low) clouds are tricky to forecast, especially since they'll drift in from the east. (Typically our weather systems move from west to east, not east to west.)

In any event, the sensible weather changes will be evident by morning. We're waking to a cooler mornings and a nip of frost in Northern New England:

Not out of the ordinary for this time of year. In fact, it's timely and appropriate. It will also invigorate the fall foliage across the mountains of Northern New England. Unbeknownst to some, the cold actually brings out the best color in the foliage. Without it, you'd get what we had last year: dull, dead leaves.

Anyway, I don't see a frost anytime soon for Southern New England. In fact, out temps will moderate by the weekend as we head for low 70s.

Longer range shows another cooldown by Monday, then another mini warmup by the middle of next week. No big storms in sight.

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.

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.
