Not that we can complain much after so much dry weather and nice weather from late Spring, through the Summer, but I’m sure the clouds and coolness will get old fast, for some, in this upcoming pattern. Add in some water, and those outdoor plans get dampened at times. Granted we do need some water and plenty of it.
You’ll note the change outside early this morning with an onshore breeze, lots of clouds and temps near 60. Those temps near 60… won’t change much at all the next couple of days. Add in occasional increased batches of moisture and patchy drizzle breaks out for time to time today and tomorrow. With the pressure difference from the high to the north and low to our southwest increase, the northeast wind will increase as gusts near 25-30mph, highest along the coast. Once and a while, a patch of drier air tries to work in, and we may catch enough dry air northwest of Boston tomorrow to allow some breaks in the clouds there.
As the high to our north loosens its grip a bit to end the week, showers to our south will likely work in, increasing the wet weather chances from Friday afternoon into the weekend. If we do catch an inch or two of rain, most of it would likely fall during this time frame. With that said, the best chance for highest totals will be the farther south you go in New England. Below is a graphic of potential rain through the next 7days.
In the tropics, a tropical wave, that’ll likely become Matthew down the line, is now east of the Lesser Antilles, as it strengthens in the Caribbean, the question becomes where does it thereafter? Toward the Gulf of Mexico or off the Southeast United States coast? Something to keep an eye on in the long range.
