After days of warm and mostly sunny weather we are now paying the price...three straight days of gloomy weather.
Our pleasant weather lasts for a little while longer but very shortly humid air returns.
The high in Boston today was 81 degrees...granted it was set in the morning and much of the day was spent in the 70s due to a seabreeze...
Clear, dry air providing ample sunshine can be expected again tomorrow...only with less of a pressure gradient a light seabreeze will develop along the coast.

The final feeder bands of rain from Tropical Storm Irene will spiral into the Boston area in the next couple hours while the steadier, torrential rain exists over northern New England.

Irene continues her journey north steadily making progress toward Eastern NC and then up the Mid-Atlantic and into the New England. Irene had a tough time today, despite being over warm water and away from any land she weakened and is now a weaker CAT two hurricane with winds of 100mph
We are becoming more and more confident that New England may be in for its first hurricane in 20 years, since Bob in 1991.

Now to Irene...a little dry air poked intot he center this afternoon and weakened the system ever so slightly but she seems to be overcoming that now and flaring back up with some impressive thunderstorm growth...the next advisory may show this, if not then the one after that.
Sunday appears to be the day of greatest concern here in New England, when the majority of rain and wind would occur from Hurricane Irene.

The air got increasingly warm and humid thru the day but there wasn't a whole lot of forcing for widespread t-storms but we did have one and it got warned on in Worcester County for wind and hail.
What a day! For sure a top 10 this Summer...the high was 84 just after the noon hour but temps fell back into the upper 70s near the coast due to the seabreeze. Humidity was a non-factor as dewpoints stayed mostly in the 50s...that's about to change.
High temperatures the last two days have been 69 and 72(so far) respectively...and to be honest today felt more like Autumn than Summer.
