Forecasters Discussion for 8/20/2016

8/20/2016

Comments

 
 ​Good evening to you from Southern Connecticut Weather!
 
The past few days have featured beautiful summertime weather, with reasonable temperatures and low humidity. This week forecast generally looks to continue that trend, with the main chance for precipitation coming tomorrow evening into Monday.
 
Sunday-Monday
 
Clouds will build through the day, with a shower or two possible tomorrow afternoon, but steady rain should hold off until the evening hours. Temps will be seasonable, with highs in the low to mid 80s. A cold front will approach from the west Sunday evening, bringing an area of rain to the state. Unlike our previous several systems, this will be a more uniform area of rain rather than convectively focused, and as such the whole state should get a much-needed drink. Generally expecting between half an inch to an inch of rain across the state. Steady rain should be out of the state by early Monday morning, with some lingering showers over eastern areas possible through the morning commute. Otherwise, expect a clearing trend on Monday, with sunshine across most of the state for the afternoon, and highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s.

Tuesday-Friday
 
Quiet weather expected for the remainder of the work week, with a steady warming trend throughout. Expect highs around 80 on Tuesday, in the mid to upper 80s on both Wednesday and Thursday, and in the upper 80s to near 90 on Friday. Humidity levels will also consistently increase through the week, with the dewpoint approaching 70 across much of the state on Friday. While not as humid as some of what we’ve seen recently, you’ll definitely feel the humidity on Friday!
 
Saturday-Sunday
 
At first glance, warm temps continue through the weekend, but humidity drops significantly, so it should be a great weekend to get some outdoor time in! Front moves through Friday evening and could spark some scattered showers and thunderstorms, but guidance is very unenthusiastic and so will just mention a slight chance for now.
 
The Dailies
Sunday: Clouds building, with a chance of showers late in the day, then rain overnight. Highs in the low to mid 80s. Chance of rain is 30% during the day and 90% overnight.
Monday: A slight chance of showers early, otherwise, clearing, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with highs in the low 80s.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny and hotter, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
Thursday: Mostly sunny, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
Friday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms late, otherwise, partly sunny, with highs in the upper 80s. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Saturday: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms, otherwise, mostly sunny, with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
 
Not much to talk about this week, so we'll keep this one short and sweet. Have a great rest of your weekend!
