ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS TODAY FOR MASSACHUSETTS, RHODE ISLAND AND CONNECTICUT
Special Weather Statement issued August 16 at 3:24AM EDT by NWS Boston/Norton MA
Significant drought conditions will result in elevated fire weather concerns today. RH values will drop to near 35 percent across portions of the interior this afternoon with northeast winds gusting to between 20 and 25mph.
Forecast Synopsis
Mainly dry and seasonably conditions on Tuesday with a low chance for showers across southeast MA ahead of an approaching low pressure system late Tuesday into Wednesday. Current guidance brings a much wetter solution to the table, with ensembles indicating the potential for 0.5" QPF east of the I-95 corridor. Shower chances continue into Wednesday evening. As the low lifts north into Maine, dry and seasonable weather is on tap for Thursday. Very warm weather with above normal temps returns Friday and Saturday, followed by increasing humidity early next week. Dry weather is expected Friday and Saturday, but the threat for some showers and a few thunderstorms will arrive early next week with the best chances sometime Monday and/or Tuesday.
