High pressure is settling in for a beautiful stretch of summer weather as we head into Labor Day weekend.
The weather here at home will be lovely! It's going to be filled with sunshine along with low humidity.
We are dodging downpours this morning as a cold front treks to the east. Brighter skies and drier air will work in from west to east late this afternoon.
All is quiet across Southern New England on this last Monday in August '12.
The quiet weather, sunshine and low humidity, will prevail as we edge our way closer to the last weekend of August. The beginning of Meteorological Fall is nearing, which is September 1.
The jetstream will begin to flatten out into 'zonal' position before supplying some ridging this weekend. This will result in a tranquil weather pattern throughout the extended forecast.
Besides a slim chance for an isolated shower here or there, the next 7 days look very quiet.
It's going to be a hot end to the week with low humidity. It's going to be quite a beauty today!
Today, skies will become partly sunny and there will be a chance of a hit-or-miss spot storm through mid to late afternoon. Most of us will be dry though. High temperatures will reach the lower and middle 80s.
Expect more storms this afternoon and evening producing heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and potentially small hail and damaging winds.
From now through the end of the month, Mother Nature is showing signs that she is going to be a 'busy bee.' A troughy pattern is settling in for numerous chances of rain.
Mother Nature is keeping us on our toes! It's an active weather pattern with fronts that are spending ~24-36 hours near Southern New England before departing offshore.
A cold front has slowly moved offshore which will allow for drier air to work in today. Skies will be partly cloudy.
An upper level low rotating around the Great Lakes Region will be the culprit for an unsettled weather pattern today, tomorrow, and possibly part of Sunday.
As we edge our way closer to the weekend, our chances for showers and storms will increase.
It's going to be a picture-perfect summer day with sunshine, low humidity, and high temperatures in the middle 80s...cooler at the coast.
There are clouds and remnant showers this morning towards the Outer Cape and Islands. However, the clearing process is now in full gear! By the lunch hour, sunshine will have emerged turning this into a beautiful Summer day! Highs will be in the middle 80s to near 90F!
It's going to be a hazy, hot, and humid day across the New England region. Highs will be flirting with 90-95F.
The jetstream continues to steer small weather disturbances our way. As of late, if it's not zonal, we are stuck within a toughy pattern. This is why you will view a slim chance of an afternoon storm nearly everyday on the Accuweather 7-day forecast.
Happy August! Two Full moons will occur this month, which is rather rare.
If it's not a trough affecting New England, it has been the zonal flow presenting fast moving, weak weather systems. Since this pattern made its mark in July, it has been the dominant weather pattern.
There are just a couple of days remaining in the month of July, and it's going to be a bright and seasonable end to the month.
The past handful of Summer weekends have been nearly flawless. However, we are going to break that stretch this weekend.
We can barely catch a break as of late. It was a beauty yesterday, but today will be a different story as a frontal boundary makes Southern New England its home for a few days.
