A dry start to the week; severe storm potential Wednesday

9/13/2021

Comments

 

A fair late summer day

Picture
Any early morning showers around to start Monday clear out by mid-morning. A stalled frontal boundary over southern New England drops south, which clears the sky out. High pressure moves in and brings dry air and breezy conditions to the region through this afternoon. 

Any clouds around dissipate after sunset, bringing a clear, cool night ahead. 

Tuesday looks like another pleasant day, a bit cooler than Monday with highs topping out in the 60s for most. Clouds increase in the afternoon as high-pressure slides east and a warm front approaches the region from the southwest. A southerly breeze develops in the afternoon, keeping the shorelines on the cool side. 

Showers Tuesday night,
severe weather possible in areas for Wednesday

Picture
Tuesday night a warm front moves in from the southwest and may bring scattered showers in areas along with it and increases dew point temperatures over southern areas Tuesday night, and to the rest of the state on Wednesday. Showers and the threat for storms increase Wednesday afternoon as a cold front approaches from the northwest.
Picture
The Storm Prediction Center's Day 3 outlook indicates a slight risk for severe storms for southern, western and eastern areas of the state.  Potential for downpours, frequent lightning, damaging wind, hail and an isolated tornado exists through Wednesday afternoon.
Picture
The forecast idea for convective available potential energy shows enough juice for severe storms for southwestern areas. It is important to note that the amount of sun Wednesday is likely to be an indicator of how much of a severe weather threat is generated. The more sun, the greater the potential; more clouds, the better the chance for a bust. 
Picture
Conservative estimates of total rain from the event shows roughly ¼-¾" possible across much of the region, with higher amounts likely in thunderstorms.

Outlook & temperatures through Saturday

High pressure to the north keeps the state dry for Thursday. Friday and Saturday are a bit of a toss-up at this point pending on remnant of tropical storm Nicholas along with another tropical wave moving northeast late week. Safe to say there is a chance for rain to end the week, and to start the weekend. Updates on that to come. 

After a cool Tuesday, above normal temperatures are likely to be the rule from Wednesday onward into the weekend.
