Tim Kelley: Hot Stormy Summer 2010 IntermissionJuly 29, 2010, 7:51 pm Hot Stormy Summer 2010 Intermission
The climatic temperature range for New England has peaked, and from here on in will cool a degree or two a week into January or so. But the Ocean temperature does not peak until late august, and hurricane season gets cranking in the next 6 weeks. Today we hit 90^ at NECN for the 21st time of the year. The most since 2002 when we hit 90^+ on 23 days, most in August. That record will fall in the next two weeks. So as we watch the Barometer rise as High Pressure arrives form Canada, we can take a break from the heat and storms for a few days. This is the first week with no severe storms since.. I can not remember when. This nice low humidity is here into Sunday. We may actually enjoy a below normal temperature day on Saturday, when the low in Whitefield NH is forecast 38^.
We may call this the intermission of Hot & Stormy Summer 2010. Part one is done. Part two begins Tuesday/Weds next (August 3,4 2010)
Summer part two will see more heat and thunderstorms, and we add Hurricanes. The next name is Colin, then Danielle. Watch out for Danielle, she may be a whirling dervish :).
Are you on Cape Cod this Weekend? Join me and my hometown friends at the 33rd Annual Town of Dennis Road Race and Fun Run. Beginning 9 AM at Wixon school on Route 134. Then to Buncy's for after party with food, drink, music and prizes.

Danielle Niles: Change is on the way...July 29, 2010, 7:43 am You'll be able to open up the windows and let the fresh air in tonight as temps drop into the 40s in the deepest valleys and hilltops, to the 50s and lower 60s for the remainder of New England. Tomorrow will be noticeably less humid and very refreshing. Temps will rise to the lower 80s inland, but hang in the upper 70s along the coast with afternoon sea breezes. Sunshine will be plentiful during the morning, but clouds will build during the afternoon. And of course we need to talk about the weekend! Saturday looks absolutely gorgeous; we'll enjoy mostly sunny skies and temps around 80. Here's the deal with Sunday - there will be a few more clouds, but most of New England will be dry and cool with highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Moisture associated with a strong onshore flow may try to bring a few showers or thunderstorms to western New England, but it doesn't look like a washout. We'll keep you posted. Enjoy your Thursday! |
Danielle Niles: Humidity on the riseJuly 28, 2010, 9:14 am By this evening, a cold front approaching from the west will spread clouds over northern New England, and bring a few showers and thunderstorms into northern and western VT by dinnertime. Overnight, this front will continue to press east, slowing down as it does so. We'll wake up to scattered showers and embedded thunder that will push from northwest to southeast. The best chance for showers and storms will be from mid-morning through mid-afternoon, lingering until the evening for portions of the south coast, Cape & Islands. Scattered clouds out ahead of the front may inhibit the risk for severe storms, but heavy downpours, lightning and gusty winds will still be possible, so keep an eye to the sky. Behind this front skies will clear and a cool, refreshing airmass will works its way into New England to end the week. The start of our weekend looks great too with plenty of sunshine and highs in the lower 80s (70s at the coast!). Sunday will feature more in the way of clouds, but we should be dry. There is a slight risk that some moisture to our south may try and sneak into southern New England, but for now, we'll keep an optimistic outlook and nail down the details in the days to come. Stay cool! Danielle |
