More fog for morning Friday; rain to dampen yet another Saturday
A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for Southern New England tonight through Friday morning
Who’s ready for another rainy Saturday?! Said no one, ever!
Saturday will mark the 5th Saturday in a row with at least some rain, dating back to early September:
9/9 – Trace (not measurable)
9/16 – 0.03″
9/23 – 0.39″
9/30 – 0.36″
As far as how much we will receive this time, that has yet to be determined.
A slow-moving cold front will approach from the west, while moisture from offshore Tropical Storm Philippe (or what’s left of it by tomorrow night) will interact with the front into Saturday.
For now, most heavy rain from the front stays west and heavy rain from Philippe stays east, meaning most of our area may stay under an inch for the event.
A few of our short-term models try to spin some brief heavy rain from Philippe in on Saturday morning, which could cause for brief localized flooding. We will continue to monitor this possibility.
Some wind and wave action is possible for Cape Cod and the Islands starting tomorrow night, so expect at least a Small Craft Advisory to get issued.
All rain clears out late Saturday and Sunday will be a bright but breezy and noticeably cooler with highs around 60°, a far cry from the 70s and 80s of the past few days!
