Monday through Saturday
*No anomalous or impactful weather is expected in the extended
forecast for southern New England next week.* The week begins
with the region largely dominated by high pressure building in
from the west. This should support a sunny/dry start to the week
with highs in the upper 50s/low 60s and lows in the upper
30s/low 40s. The only active period of weather this week will be
on Wednesday when a modest short-wave disturbance aloft
traverses over the region. Southerly flow ahead of this feature
will increase the moisture over southern New England allowing
for widespread stratiform precipitation during the day
Wednesday. With neither forcing nor moisture forecast to reach
impressive levels, the total rainfall accumulation with this
system is expected to be modest with amounts likely between 0.1
and 0.25 inches. **As the associated surface cold front pushes
through the region behind this system Wednesday night, we`ll be
left with a dry but cooler air mass on Thursday which should
feature temperatures only slightly below normal.** High pressure
then builds over The Northeast to end the week with more dry,
quiet, and seasonable conditions.
