Cloudy Humid Weekend...Unsettled Pattern Holds

The Rain has pushed off shore, but plenty of clouds remain today as SW winds aloft continue to stee warm humid airmass into the northeast. High pressure will be building towards New England with a stalling front off our coast this afternoon. This should give way to some increasing sun or at least a thing to the overcast this afternoon. Breaks are already visible on the satellite. Overall, a decent Saturday... With temps already in the 70's, by afternoon it will feel down right summer like with highs in the Lwr 80's and dewpoints near 70. Ugh.

Fall Feel For Football Sunday, But Summer Not Over Yet!

High pressure firmly in place over Maine is supplying plenty of dry air into the low levels with light NE winds. I am expecting the morning clouds to begin to break and give way to increasing afternoon sunshine. Temps are starting off warmer thanks to the increased cloud cover overnight. Highs will be climbing into the mid 60's inland and remain in the lwr 60's at the coast with the onshore winds.

Cool Weekend...Mild Midweek

Plenty of sunshine out there today with high thin cirrus clouds drifting above our heads. A trough to our west will be pushing into the region this afternoon bringing a few thicker middle level clouds along with it. High pressure at the surface will keep us dry and cool with highs in the mid 60's for most. Winds will be light, so a PM seabreeze will keep temps mainly in the lower 60's at the beaches.

Autumnal Preview For Last Weekend Of Summer

Winds are diminishing today as high pressure slides towards us, but the cooler air will continue to push into New England from Canada helping to keep highs around 60-65 degrees today with sun-filled skies. It should be in the mid 60's along the south coast, while most of us will remain in the Lwr 60's close to 10 degrees below normal for this time of year

Onshore Winds Cool Down The Weekend

A beauty of a day across New England with high pressure building in behind a backdoor front. This barely noticeable front will push off the coast this afternoon followed by a cooler NE wind for the afternoon. Mostly sunny skies with high clouds today. Highs in the 70's nearing 80 in the west. As winds shift east this afternoon a cooling seabreeze will help to keep temps mostly in the lwr 70's at the coast.

Saying Goodbye to Summer This Labor Day Weekend

Morning stratus and low level fog is making for a hazy morning across the region...with more clouds west and southeast. Any Morning clouds will give way to increasing afternoon sunshine.

Hurricane Irene Fights For Survival...Still An Impact for New England

Hurricane Irene made landfall at Cape Lookout this morning bringing winds of 80 to 100 mph to the outer banks of North Carolina. Some gusts offshore have peaked over 110 mph. The storm continues to weaken with each update from the National Hurricane Center as it slowly drifts and spins inland across eastern NC. Further Weakening is likely but with a surface air pressure still at 953 mb...it is still a powerful storm with a large expansive wind field. This sort of air pressure is more typical of a category 2 hurricane.

It is a hazy humid mix of sunshine and clouds today. SW winds will help to keeps temps warm in the Mid 80's for most, cooler on the Cape.

Warm, Hazy, Humid Weekend Ends With T'Storms

High pressure to our south is wrapping in warm humid light SW winds and providing enough dry sinking air that much of the weekend will remain dry..but humid with highs in the mid-upper 80's...Near 80 on the Cape. As the high pulls off the coast Sunday, a better chance for more widespread scattered storms will develop late tomorrow in the west.

Rain Shifts From West Today to East Tomorrow

The closer to the coast you are, the drier you will be thanks to high pressure off shore. Despite a little light rain early, a good portion of the day should remain dry with temps in the mid 70's. Hard to completely rule out showers completely today for eastern sections...as a few showers could break off the main batch out west from time to time. Either way, a cloudy, humid and tolerable Sunday if you have to be outdoors in eastern MA.

Timing the Showers Arrival and Impact Sunday

Clouds will continue to gradually increase and thicken through the weekend. While the coast should remain dry tomorrow, the risk inland for showers increases, especially once you get west of Worcester. The clouds and cool SE winds will keep temps in the 70's near 80. The warm spot will be NH and ME in the Lwr 80's. Only in the upper 60's and Lwr 70's where it will be raining out west.
