Warm day with temps in 80s

THREE. GOOD MONDAY TO YOU. I KNOW IT’S OCTOBER, BUT LOOK AT THESE TEMPERATURES TODAY. NEAR RECORD HIGHS FOR THE DAY. BOTH SET BACK IN 1946. BOSTON WORCESTER IN THE MID 80S. AND I THINK WE’LL BE CLOSE IN THE LOW 80S TODAY. EITHER WAY, IT’S REALLY WARM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND THAT’S THE CASE ACROSS A LOT OF THE EAST. THERE IS SOME COOLER WEATHER ON THE WESTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY, AND THAT WILL START TO CATCH UP WITH US LATER IN THE WEEK AS THIS BIG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WITH THE JET STREAM STARTS BREAKING DOWN, AND WE GET THIS LITTLE DIP TO COME IN LATE WEEK. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS A REALITY CHECK AS TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE RUNNING CLOSER TO 60 HERE AT THE END OF THE WEEK, BUT NOT TODAY. THERE YOU SEE US RUNNING BETWEEN ABOUT 80 AND 85. WE’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE WARMEST OUT THROUGH METRO WEST AND THE MERRIMACK VALLEY. AND THAT SOUTHWESTERLY WIND WILL PUSH TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 85 DEGREES ALL THE WAY TO THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SEACOAST AROUND PORTSMOUTH. THE WIND DOES COME IN OFF THE WATER FOR YOU ON THE SOUTH COAST, THE CAPE, THE ISLANDS UP TO PLYMOUTH, WHERE IT HOLDS MOSTLY IN THE 70S TODAY WITH THAT WIND OFF THE WATER BUT STILL REALLY WARM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOTS OF SUNSHINE TOO. YOU CAN SEE THAT WIND OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST, RUNNING ABOUT 10 TO 15MPH TODAY. THE WIND IS ACTUALLY GOING TO RAMP UP A LITTLE BIT MORE TOMORROW AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO NUDGE A LITTLE FARTHER EAST, AND THIS FRONT GETS CLOSER TO US, THIS FRONT IS PRODUCING SOME RAIN. A LITTLE RIBBON OF RAIN STRETCHING FROM OMAHA UP TOWARD GREEN BAY. AND WE’RE WATCHING THIS FOR WEDNESDAY AS THAT FRONT CROSSES OUR AREA, WE WILL GET IN ON SOME NEEDED RAINFALL HERE ON WEDNESDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE POTENTIAL FOR ABOUT A WIDESPREAD HALF AN INCH OF RAIN, WITH PERHAPS SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS SOUTH OF THE PIKE, SO LOOKING FOR SOME NEEDED RAINFALL HERE COME WEDNESDAY. TONIGHT STAYS MOSTLY CLEAR. THERE MAY BE SOME AREAS OF FOG REDEVELOPING IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, MOSTLY IN THE 50S TO AROUND 60 DOWNTOWN. AND THEN LOOK AT THIS TOMORROW, ANOTHER DAY THAT’S GOING TO FEEL MORE LIKE SUMMER THAN OCTOBER WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND OR JUST OVER 80 DEGREES AWAY FROM THE SOUTH COAST, CAPE AND THE ISLANDS. IT’S ANOTHER WARM DAY, ANOTHER MOSTLY SUNNY DAY. YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE THAT BREEZE PICKING UP A LITTLE BIT STRONGER TOMORROW FROM THE SOUTHWEST. WE MAY SEE SOME GUSTS 25 TO 30MPH TOMORROW, AS THAT FRONT STARTS TO GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO US, IT IS GOING TO CROSS THE AREA FAIRLY SLOWLY ON WEDNESDAY. AND SO THAT’S WHY WE GET IN ON THAT RAIN. AND IT STICKS AROUND FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY. I THINK MOST IMPACTED WILL BE THE MORNING COMMUTE. YOU CAN SEE THE TIMING HERE. THIS IS 5 A.M. ON WEDNESDAY. SO THE EARLY COMMUTERS, IF YOU’RE ONE OF THOSE, YOU’RE GOING TO START TO GET WET HERE, ESPECIALLY WEST OF 495. BUT FOR THE MORNING HOURS, THAT RAIN IS PUSHING CLOSER TO THE COASTLINE. SO EIGHT 9:00 STILL RAINING. IN FACT, IT MAY STILL BE RAINING AROUND MIDDAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS DOWN INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE STATE, AND THEN FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE AFTERNOON, THAT RAIN IS GOING TO PUSH OUT, SO WE’RE DRY BY THE EVENING COMMUTE. IN FACT, CLOUDS ARE BREAKING FOR SOME SUNSHINE. BOSTON NORTH AND WEST, AND WE’RE ALL BACK IN THE SUN BY THURSDAY. BUT LOOK AT THOSE TEMPERATURES. YEAH, DEFINITELY COOLING DOWN. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY AROUND 60 HERE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY, DRY START TO THE WEEKEND. AND THEN LOOK AT THAT ON SUNDAY. WE’RE GOING TO BRING BACK THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS. SOME OF THE COMPUTER MODELS INDICATING WE MAY HAVE A SLOW MOVING COASTAL LOW THAT COULD KEEP SOME WET WEATHER GOING INTO EARLY NEX
