Here Comes the Rain...

A nearly perfect late Summer day with a high that topped out at 75 degrees in Boston and aside from some dense morning fog was generally sunny all day long.  That will be the last day we see substantial sunshine until the middle of next week...an extended wet stretch is commencing momentarily.

A cut-off low over the Great Lakes is spinning counter-clockwise producing a strong southerly fetch of air out ahead of it from the Deep South into the Northeast.  This air is both warm and moist...and loaded with impulses of energy promoting the development of clusters of heavier showers and downpours.  Over the next week we will be stuck in this pattern.  Now, it won't be raining all the time in fact some days will have very little rain falling at all, but timing these waves of rain is and will be difficult. 

With that said, the first wave of rain will approach very early tomorrow morning and the morning commute will be hampered by showers and a few downpours that will breakout ahead of a warmfront.  These showers should shift north of us by the afternoon and skies may actually brighten up some only to fill in with clouds again and a few showers will bubble up in the ultra humid airmass.
