Good morning! It’s a cool start with filtered skies. Today begins our drying and warming trend. Temperatures head near 80° this week! Rain stays away until next weekend.
Luckily, today is a dry day, as ridging aloft builds into New England. Unfortunately, that weather setup is also allowing Canadian wildfire smoke to filter our skies. The smoke is aloft so it won’t impact our air quality, but still make for milky skies. High temperatures rebound near 70°/low 70s inland. Temperatures will stay in the 60s on the coast with a northeasterly breeze this afternoon.
The dry stretch continues through the work week. Look at those temperatures! See you at the beach on Tuesday, anyone?
Today we turn the calendar page into October. Here’s what this month’s weather typically has in store for us. Today’s average high is 67°, sunrise is at 6:41 am and sunset at 6:26 pm. By the end of the month, our average high temperature falls into the upper 50s. Our mornings start off darker with sunrise past 7:00 am, and the sun sets closer to 5:30 am.
We also want to thank everyone who came out to the Hatch Shell this morning for the 31st Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer! Awareness and early detection of breast cancer are key. You can still support the cause and cancer research at cancer.org.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
