Good morning and happy Labor Day! You’ve made it to the pick of the holiday weekend and a top 10 day of the year. Spectacular weather expected today despite a CHILLY start!
Williamstown, MA in the far NW corner was the lowest temp across SNE that I found this am at 41°. Brrr! Mt Washington is at 40° as I type this with a strong NNW wind gusting to 70mph creating a wind chill of 22°. 🥶
Temps will rebound beautifully today to near seasonable levels as most get up to 75-80° today under full sunshine and low dew points. Watch for strong rip currents once again at east facing MA beaches.
Generally a very nice week coming up. Temps and dew points slowly ramp up toward Thursday, the mildest and most humid day this week. A cold front turns it much cooler again for Friday and sets up another nice weekend.
Not many shower chances this week and most of them are timed for night. Wednesday night into early Thursday am, Thursday night into early Friday and Saturday night into early Sunday. The first two look like isolated shower chances…the chance Saturday night may feature more widespread showers. But nothing looks too heavy at the moment and many towns likely will see very little rain this week.
The tropical Atlantic remains quiet as well.
Boaters…Breezy NW winds this morning are strongest in Block Island Sound where the winds are holding steady around 23mph right now. As the tide was coming in earlier against the wind, they were short stacked 2-3s. The tide is coming out now with the wind which should drop the seas and slowly lengthen the durations. From what I can tell it looks like ~2 footers spaced 4.5 seconds currently. Winds should slowly improve today. The next watch out period is Wednesday night and Thursday for strong SW winds and advisory level seas. After Labor Day, I won’t be doing a boating forecast every day - will mainly focus on leading up to the weekend or calling out rough days.
Here’s the detailed forecast through the week:
🏆Today: ☀️ Sunny, crisp and spectacular. Continued very comfortable with low humidity. Highs rebound to 75-80° for most. Low 70s western hills, outer Cape and Nantucket. The pick of the holiday weekend and a top 10 day of the year! Breezy NW winds at the shoreline settle back later.
Tonight: Clear to start trending toward partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s, the coldest spots drop into the upper 40s.
Tuesday: 🌤️ Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 70s to around. 80°. Cooler once again for the outer Cape and Nantucket.
Wednesday: ⛅️🌤️⛅️🌬️ A mix of clouds and sun. Highs in the mid 70s to around 80°. Cooler outer Cape. A touch more humidity moves in from the south thanks to breezy southerly winds.
A few showers possible Wednesday night after midnight and toward daybreak.
