A pleasant Monday, wet weather coming in for Tuesday & Wednesday

High pressure will work its way across New England tomorrow so that sets us up for a pleasant night tonight with varying amounts of cloudiness around. Lows will drop to the low 60s. Monday will be a pleasant day with more clouds than sun available as temperatures top off in the mid 70s.

By Tuesday a stationary front will lie to the south of New England and we will begin to see several waves of Low pressure run along that front through Wednesday. Each passing wave can bring periods of rain, possibly heavy in spots, especially Tuesday night and Wednesday. High temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday will reach the low 70s. After that, the second half of the week will have a fall-like feel with cool comfortable overnight lows in the 50s and dry, mild sunny days with highs in the 70s.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Franklin will be moving northward through next week passing to the west of Bermuda and then curving off to the Northeast toward the North Atlantic. It will be followed by Tropical storm Idalia moving off the coast of the Carolinas for Thursday. All long-range guidance models have been, and continue to, point to both Franklin and Idalia remaining well to the south of New England remaining in the Atlantic due to the upper level steering currents. However, both storms will cause high surf and potentially dangerous rip currents along with southern New England coastline for mid-late week.
