After last nights wind, rain and scattered power outages, the forecast going forward looks as good as the last one. Maybe just a bit cooler as we count down the last couple days of Summer. Last nights winds were associated with a strong cold front and a strong Low Level Jet. A Low Level Jet is an area of high winds that are lower in the atmosphere than what we call the Jet Streams. The winds from the Low Level Jet last night were allowed to mix down to the surface and thus we had our gusty conditions. But that is all gone now. Looking ahead looks bright and sunny.
7 Day Forecast
Tonight: Clear and cool. Lack of clouds will allow for radiational cooling and will allow temperatures to dip into the low 40s.
Thursday: Sunny with isolated low level clouds. Highs in the upper 60s to near 70.
Friday: More clouds than sun as the cold front that pushed offshore drifts back towards us. Highs in the low to mid 70s depending on the amount of clouds.
Saturday: Sun and Clouds. Highs in the mid to upper 70s.
Sunday: Chance of a shower or storm; especially central and northern New England. Highs around 70.
Monday: Sun and Clouds. Highs in the upper 60s.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy. Highs around 70.
That’s it. There is nothing of relevance going on in the tropics and our weather is pretty calm. But remember, winter is right around the corner and by all accounts looking ahead, it could be a good one for snow. Which of course depends on which way you look at it.
