A major nor'easter is about to pound southern New England with heavy rain, snow and wind.
We are forecasting the first snow of the season for many folks in southern New England.
High pressure south of New England will provide a dry day for the region. A mid-level cloud deck in western New England with early dense fog in the Valleys. Some of these clouds are trying to spread eastward during the morning through afternoon. Sunshine will be most abundant at the coast. A mix of sun and clouds across the region today with highs in the upper 50's and lwr 60's.
Sunny dry and breezy SW winds today, Gusts to 20 to 30 mph by midday and afternoon. Highs will be cooler than yesterday...58 to 64. There are clouds in the far northern and western reaches of New England associated with an upper low which continues to lift into Canada. Those clouds will primarily stay there, but a few puffy cu's may pop with the heating of the day across the interior. Winds will be diminishing tonight with lows dropping into the 40's with clear to partly cloudy skies.
Rain will be filling in for the rest of the morning. Periodic heavy rain will track up the coast through the afternoon and evening delivering a widespread 1-2" of rainfall with locally heavier amounts unto 3" in areas which end up seeing more persistent pockets of rain track through mixed in with quieter moments. The peak of the rain will be from 12 PM-12 AM...but a few downpours after midnight can not be ruled out even though there will be a trend to taper to showers overnight through early Thursday.
The clouds will begin to thin this afternoon for some partial sun to emerge. A breeze from the SW will allow temps to rebound back into the mid-upper 60's with any breaks of PM sun. The Warmest spot will be SE MA and locations towards the coast.
The Upper low over james Bay continues to wrap in seasonable dry and cool weather into the Northeast today with breezy WSW winds. There are more clouds north with partial sunshine. In the south, sun filled skies all morning through the early afternoon before clouds begin to build & increase during the afternoon. Highs in the Lwr-mid 60's. Not as windy, but still an active wind which could still gust to 30 from time to time.
The rain and humidity is long gone. The winds of change have moved in today as low pressure deepens and pulls into southern Canada. The winds are providing a refreshing clean and dry airmass with the definite feel of fall. Bright sunshine this morning will give way to building PM cumulus thanks to cooler air aloft and a piece of energy which will move in later today which could trigger a late PM sprinkle or shower farther inland. Highs will average above normal in the mid-uppr 60s with some areas at the coast nearing 70. The winds will provide a chill to the air.
High pressure SW of New England is firmly in control today wrapping in warming light WNW winds which will warm the eastern facing beaches today. Temps in the valleys this AM are in the 40's, with temps in the 60's in the hills. Sunshine with highs in the Lwr-mid 80's by this afternoon.
Temps are starting off crisp and cool early this AM, but will quickly be on the rise today. At 9:30 AM we have already come close to where our highs were Friday...and we have quite a bit more daylight to go! By late morning, widespread 60's...by afternoon, highs will be in the 70's and lwr 80's.
AccuWeather is predicting another brutally cold and snowy winter for a large part of the country, especially states in higher latitudes.
On Sunday, we will track another band of steady rainfall moving in off the water. A few scattered showers around & north of Boston in the morning, but the trend will be for a batch of heavier rain to shift into Northern New England during the afternoon as energy passes around the upper low to our south.
A new study says establishing local beef markets in New England will be difficult because demand is low and the cost to produce local beef is high.
The heaviest rain is exiting New England and we will see a very gradual improvement for the rest of the day. Satellite observations are showing a significant dry slot which will be shifting in during the afternoon hours. This should alow for breaking sunshine in SNE to develop...especially south of the Pike. Where sunshine emerges temps will spike into the Lwr-mid 70's thanks to some warmer air aloft. Where clouds remain, temps remain in the 60's
High pressure is close enough to provide enough subsidence for some increasing PM sunshine across the north with skies becoming partly sunny. This stable sinking air should allow for some brightening to the skies this afternoon in the south as well...with more clouds south of the Pike closer to the front. Winds are extremely light today, but expect them to shift onshore this afternoon for a feeble onshore wind. This will keep it slightly cooler at the beaches in the mid 70's with many inland areas in the upper 70's and Lwr 80's, especially if we break into any period of sunshine...which I am expecting to develop this afternoon.
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.
With Congress expected to gut a federal home heating aid program and fall just beginning, New England states are preparing to reduce benefits or the number of households receiving help.
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.
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.
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
