Damp Pattern

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Probably not the headline you were looking for, eh?

But this upcoming week isn't like the weekend. We're not bogged down in a north/northeast wind with rain and raw temps. This time around, we're right on the edge of warm, humid air. I'm here to tell you that it won't be swinging into New England this week, but just being near that airmass means our temps won't stray too far from 70 either.

Warm front tries to push through tomorrow. This time of year, it rarely makes it, and I'm not seeing a whole lot of evidence that it will this time around either. So we're looking at lots of clouds tomorrow with very little in the way of wet weather. Best chance of a shower is tomorrow afternoon and evening. Still in the clouds (and showers) Wednesday as the warm front sits virtually motionless across Long Island.

So where's the good news this week? See the first paragraph. About 70 tomorrow, mid/upper 60s Wed/Thu/Fri. I'm hopefull that we might see some clearing by Thursday afternoon, but I'm not making any promises. Seems that every time I think I have the timing of the sun/rain down, the next set of weather maps comes out with a totally new timetable for their arrival/departure.

Long range there's something all the maps can agree on. After this weekend, it'll start to feel more like October around here. I have my money on a good frost/freeze the second week of October too.

We'll get them 'skeeters!!

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.
