Sunday Evening Essentials: Scattered Storms, Lower Humidity Ahead & Tropics Update

Meteorologist Danielle Noyes here with your Evening Essentials forecast, and we’re just three days away from launching our brand-new 1DegreeOutside Weather Stream — New England’s first 24/7 local weather streaming network. Members have already had a sneak peek, and soon everyone will be able to tap the “Streaming Now” icon in the app to watch weather coverage anytime, anywhere.

As for the weather this evening, showers and downpours are cropping up in northern Vermont and Maine, with additional rain moving across Cape Cod and the Islands as a small wave of low pressure passes offshore. A few of the storms pushing out of upstate New York into Vermont may briefly reach strong levels before weakening into the Champlain Valley. Elsewhere, expect clouds to thicken, patchy fog overnight, and lows in the 60s.

Monday starts with leftover rain on the Cape and southeastern Massachusetts, but skies brighten for a time before a cold front sparks scattered thunderstorms across the interior during the afternoon. Some storms may bring heavy downpours, lightning, and brief gusty winds, though widespread severe weather is not expected. By evening, the storms sweep east and weaken, and drier, less humid air begins to filter in.

Tuesday looks beautiful, with sunshine, low humidity, and highs in the 70s to low 80s. Northern New England will cool quickly Tuesday night into the 40s, while most of the region dips into the 50s and low 60s — perfect open-window sleeping weather. Wednesday brings a few more clouds, with an upper-level disturbance sparking some mountain sprinkles, and temperatures settle in the low to mid 70s.

Along the coast, seas remain churned up. Current wave action runs 3–5 feet nearshore and 4–8 feet offshore near Georges Bank, with a lingering rip current risk into Monday and even early Tuesday before subsiding. By midweek, seas return to calmer levels, 3 feet or less, and small craft advisories should be dropped.

In the tropics, Tropical Storm Fernand remains over the open Atlantic with 40–60 mph gusts and no direct impacts to New England. Another cluster of thunderstorms east of the Windward Islands bears watching, with the National Hurricane Center giving it a 40 percent chance of development in the coming days. If it organizes, it would be named Gabrielle.
