Warmth continues today, tracking rain for Sunday and keeping an eye on the tropics

The weekend warmth continues today as highs reach the 70s and low 80s inland, low 70s at the coast with developing sea breezes.

Partly sunny skies will be found, keeping it dry though.

Rain on Sunday

Sunday we see some rain swinging in from the south as a result of a nearby “stationary” front and mini low pressure system.

The showers move out by late morning and the clouds are slow to depart farther southeast. The Patriots game in Foxborough, Massachusetts, is looking warm and cloudy.

That stationary boundary to our south, and a strong high pressure system northwest, will play a crucial role in keeping away any tropical systems making landfall in the northeast.

Our local forecast remains warm through Tuesday, with a significant cool down for midweek.

Our waves offshore increase as Humberto passes by but is deflected out to sea midweek.

Then we watch for how “soon to be named” Imelda will interact with the frontal boundary…there is a low chance for some of the remnant showers to head into New England late next weekend, but this could certainly change.

Two tropical storms will interact in the “Fujiwhara Effect”. Soon-to-be Imelda & Humberto dance around a central point. As Humberto spins off, Imelda stalls and may set up a significant flood event in the SE U.S. next week. pic.twitter.com/zhIidmQBsE

Fujiwhara Effect?

This is a phenomenon that we may see with the interaction between Humberto and the “soon to be named” Imelda. This happens when two hurricanes spinning in the same direction start to dance around a central point.

Then a couple things can occur: they merge, or one spins off the other. In this case, the forecast guidance shows that Humberto spins off of Imelda, but helps to stall this storm off the southeastern U.S. coast and over the Bahamas through early next week, which in turn will increase the rainfall threat and flooding potential. Stay tuned to updates on the tropical systems and impacts to the U.S.

We are approaching peak in the mountains in northern New England. The change is about 1-2 weeks ahead of “normal” due to the drought stressed trees and leaves.

We will see nice color still all across northern New England this weekend. Nearing peak color in the higher elevations in the Green and White Mountains. While Boston has low color reported.
