The generally quiet weather pattern has continued for the
area this week. Temperatures most of the week were a few degrees below normal
but a milder temperature regime will begin today. High pressure is in control providing
clear skies and warming temperatures. A slight cool down will occur on Sunday
before even warmer air moves in for the early part of the week. The tropical
Atlantic has quieted down after a very active two week period. One week ago Hurricane
Gonzalo moved across Bermuda with 110 mph sustained winds causing much damage
but did not appear as severe as with Hurricane Fabian in 2003. Hurricane Ana
remained south of the Hawaiian Islands but brought them copious amounts for
rainfall.
Currently the high under flow out of the south and west.
High temperatures for the region should rise into the lower 60’s under clear
skies.
Saturday the southerly flow will be stronger in advance of a
weak cool front. Temperatures will rise well into the middle 60’s before a
slight chance of showers arrive tomorrow night.
Sunday the region will see a slight cool down with high
temperatures around 60 degrees. The coolest of the air will be delivered to the
New England States.
Early next week warmer air will be advected into the area on
the southerly winds. High temperatures on Monday and Tuesday will be a few degrees
on either side of 70! A cool front will move through on Tuesday sending high temperatures
back down to seasonable values in the upper 50’s. With the zonal flow, it
appears temperatures in the extended (6-14 days) will be near to slightly above
normal.
