A lot of wind to contend with today and again tomorrow. Strong low pressure anchored to our northeast creating a tight pressure gradient across New England. Still breezy Tuesday but quieter mid-week as high pressure builds east

Windy night coming up. Gusty from the SW this evening, then post-frontal NW winds after midnight. Atmosphere becomes well mixed overnight...tapping winds in the 950-900 mb layer (45-55 knots)... add in a good pressure rise...likely to be some 50 - 60 mph gusts. Particularly on the Outer Cape

Active weather pattern with a lot of wind. Next round comes tomorrow night / Thursday morning behind a rapidly deepening storm in the Gulf of Maine. Gusts 50-60+ mph likely... probably some tree/limb damage and scattered power outages to deal with

While Hurricane Melissa will pass waaay out to sea to our SE, some of the system's tropical moisture will get dragged northward ahead of an approaching cold front Thursday and Thursday night, giving the rain a little extra boost. Some hefty downpours likely Thursday evening/night.

Soaking rain coming up tomorrow. Good news is we need the rain. Bad news is it kills the October warmth...much cooler air moves in behind it.

Nice shot of (Cat 4) Hurricane Humberto...several hundred miles northeast of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. No threat to land at the moment...could pass near Bermuda during the early to middle part of next week.

Mild day coming up tomorrow (Friday). Gradual clearing and an offshore wind should send us well into the 70s. HRRR 2-m temps in the lower to middle 70s suggest 75 to 80F is in play. Still a bit humid too.

@joyf.bsky.social I meant to send this the other day… my first one bloomed right around 6/20… this was 9/8… weird how they can hang on. Same set of bulbs was really late last year too

Will have to keep an eye on the moisture associated with this little tropical low near the Carolinas. We'll be *right* on the western edge of its heavy rain shield tonight and early tomorrow. 6z ecmwf notably further west vs earlier runs and gives a good soaking tonight

Very nice late ( 🙁 ) summer day. Near 80F this afternoon with plenty of sunshine (hardly a cloud to be seen on satellite imagery right now) and not much humidity.

While the core of Erin passes WELL southeast of the area, we'll still deal with some gusty winds later today into Friday morning. Decent mixing will tap some of the stronger winds from aloft and yield NE winds 20-30 mph with some 40+ mph gusts. Maybe a spot 50 mph gust somewhere on the Outer Cape.
