Tuesday’s break in the action will end with peaking humidity Wednesday ahead of a cold front slicing from north to south across New England. For some, the highest chance of showers will come in the morning, rather than afternoon – for others, a severe thunderstorm is possible later Wednesday. Full details into the weekend and a look at the Tropical Atlantic with Matt!
Wednesday’s Weather Outlook: A cold front will move through, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms, particularly in southern New England. However, the timing of the front suggests that the most intense weather may pass to our south, affecting areas like New York and Pennsylvania more than New England. Expect a surge of warmth and humidity before cooler air arrives later in the day, setting the stage for a fall-like end to the week.
Cooler Air on the Way: By Thursday, a cooler and drier air mass will settle in, making it feel more like fall, with temperatures in the 70s across much of New England. This cool air will stick around through Friday, providing a refreshing break from the humidity. As we head into the weekend, warmth and humidity will make a comeback, particularly on Saturday, when there’s a chance of showers and storms, especially in northern and western New England.
Looking Ahead to the Tropics: While there’s no immediate tropical development expected this week, a tropical wave off Africa could become more organized by the weekend. If it does develop, we’ll be watching closely, as the jet stream could steer it toward the U.S. east coast in the coming weeks.
