Relatively Quiet Weather This Week Will Be Followed By Another Rain Storm This Weekend

For Tonight: A weak weather disturbance is expected to approach the region later tonight. This means that skies will be partly cloudy throughout tonight and there may be an isolated shower or two very late tonight. Low temperatures will be near 40 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 5 to 10 mph. Tuesday: That weak weather disturbance will move away from the area during Tuesday morning. During the afternoon, the combination of solar heating and colder air aloft will lead to an unstable air mass across the region. This all means that any leftover isolated showers will end early in the day with partly sunny skies expected during the rest of the morning. During Tuesday afternoon, a mixture of some sunshine and lots of cumulus clouds can be expected. In addition, a very isolated shower or two is possible during the late afternoon hours. High temperatures will be near 60 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph. Wednesday Through Friday: We should generally remain in a west to northwest upper level wind flow right through the end of this week. Wednesday looks sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures near 65 Degrees. Thursday will feature a mixture of some sun and lots of clouds. High temperatures will be near 60 Degrees. Friday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 60 Degrees. Weekend Weather Forecast Looks WET!!: Unfortunately it looks like another weekend washout looks likely as an area of low pressure tracks near or right over Southern New England. In addition to this, it’s possible that this could be a wind-swept rain as that low pressure system strengthens as it moves through. Current indications point towards rain moving in during Saturday morning with the rain continuing through all of Saturday afternoon, all of Saturday night and possibly all day Sunday. In addition to the rain, it appears that East to Northeast winds of 10 to 20 mph on Saturday will increase to 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph by late Saturday night. These easterly winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph are expected to continue through all day Sunday. At this point, it appears that widespread rain totals of 1 to 2 inches are possible across the entire area. Temperatures this weekend will only be in the low to mid 50s. This combined with the rain and wind will lead to a cold, raw and wet weekend. Thank You: As always, I thank you for your continued support.
