Half Full or Half Empty?
Posted by Chris Lambert
The pessimistic view in me says it's a rainy start to the weekend... the glass half full optimism in me says the second half of the weekend is dry. However you want to spin it, expect wet conditions out there this morning as rain moves through. The rain won't last all day, in fact, the steadiest rain tapers off later this morning, and other than a sprinkle or a patch of drizzle, the afternoon remains mainly dry... cloud filled, but mainly dry.
The second half of the weekend looks good with more sunshine back in the forecast, although clouds start winning the battle again mid to late afternoon. Those clouds foreshadow more rain that needs to work in here Sunday night and Monday. There may be just enough cold air leftover late Sunday night and early Monday morning to allow for some icy spots across outer Route 2 and SW New Hampshire, but most of us just deal with a cold rain.
Temps are slow to warm Monday, but once the front works through, temps take off to the upside late afternoon into the evening. How's 60 sound? Mild weather continues for you tailgaters and Pats fans heading to Gillette through the evening, although you'll deal with scattered showers out there as well.
Cool weather works in for Tuesday and there may be a bit of rain/snow mixed Tuesday afternoon if another wave of low pressure rides along a front stalled just southeast of us.
As that front moves offshore Wednesday, high pressure builds in and that means sunshine for the 2nd half of the workweek. Cooler temps as well!
Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.
Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east. Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity. It'll also be unsettled at times.

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds. As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening. Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening. Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers. These showers are brought to us by a warm front.
