Fall Into Place

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Nice day to welcome fall back to New England with a bunch of sunshine & seasonably mild temps. More of the same for the first full day of fall after a little weather system will sneak through New England late tonight with more clouds & even a few showers for some of you. The showers will be few & far between and not pester anyone until midnight and into the overnight hours.

Sunday is similar to today where we will be greeted by clouds during the morning hours only to see that sunshine make a comeback (just don't call it one). I actually think that sunshine returns sooner tomorrow, likely by mid morning. That will allow temps to reach the low 70s by afternoon and the air will be drier too. Chilly air settles back into New England tomorrow night with lows back into the low 40s by early Monday morning. Monday itself stays chilly with afternoon highs only crawling into the low 60s--another sign of fall, slower recovery from chilly mornings.

Back to fall for a second. Earth is in balance tonight (meaning no tilting on that imaginary axis)....Legend states on the autumnal equinox you can balance an egg. Give it a shot! Have a great weekend!

Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!

More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

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.
