WEATHER SUMMARY:
*** FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT FOLLOW THIS BLOG, MY APOLOGIES FOR THE LACK OF POSTS THE LAST FEW DAYS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A PROJECT THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP ME DELIVER THIS TO YOU AND IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF TIME AND EFFORT. VACATION IS OVER NOW. 🙂 ***
The weather pattern is looking quite active for the next few days as a quick succession of storms will make their way through the northeast. An upper level trough which swung into the area yesterday along with heavy rain (for some) still sits over the Northeast today. As a result we have rather cool conditions and generally unsettled weather. Radar does show a few returns around, especially north of Boston, but if there is any rain coming down it would be very light. As the sun goes down these showers will evaporate and we should have a clear and pretty chilly evening.
By Thursday, after a sunny start to the day, clouds will increase ahead of the next system that will bring us some rain. Thursday night into Friday a warm front attached to low pressure moving through the Ohio Valley will allow an area of rainfall to blossom over all of Southern New England. We will have clouds and mostly light rainfall throughout Friday as the low pressure area slides off the Middle Atlantic coast. The rain will come to an end by Saturday morning and we should see some sun before yet another low ejects out of the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and tracks into the Northeast by Sunday. Moderate to possibly heavy rainfall will develop early Sunday morning and continue into the early afternoon. Rain will taper off as the low pressure area tracks along the Maine coast out of our area during the overnight hours of Sunday.
Upper level low pressure will hang back over Nova Scotia on Monday morning providing enough instability for more afternoon clouds and showers to develop.
Finally, by Tuesday, the weather pattern will settle a bit and give us a pretty nice and seasonably warm day.
