Another healthy rain event Sunday / Sunday Night. Guessing we have a lot of these to come over the next 4 to 6 months

Plenty of grey / brown months ahead so gotta enjoy the nice October light and color

Chilly night coming up...widespread 40s...probably some upper 30s here and there. Higher resolution guidance does a nice job of "seeing" the milder temps right along the water vs just a few miles inland.

More heavy rain in Barnstable at the moment. Seemingly relentless.

Nasty weather through the night and we won't shed this storm until Tues. *But* as system retrogrades to the NJ shore tomorrow, axis of deep moisture temporarily shifts NW of the Cape. Brief interlude of some Bermuda Blues before clouds return? Minimally some holes in the overcast possible Sun AM.

Very heavy rain moving through the upper Cape at the moment. Driving is treacherous.

Plenty of spread amongst the ensembles (euro AI shown) for the late week ocean storm but odds ticking upward for some heavy rain and certainly rather high for a lengthy period of gusty onshore winds (now-Sunday?). How impactful TBD. Minimally, looks like a long period of crap weather.

Models been bouncing around with a coastal low in the upcoming week...now kicking the can to late week/next weekend. Euro AI w/a slow-moving early season nor'easter/hybrid low. Classic cool season look: high winds, hvy rain, coastal issues etc. Something to keep an eye on.

It’s. Raining.

It’s pretty creepy looking out there. So much smoke in the atmosphere

What's with the sky today? Our new summer normal strikes again. Massive amounts of smoke shifting SE from a bunch of big wildfires in central Canada. You can see the smoke and the hot spots on satellite imagery. Note the clear NW to SE movement around the ridiculous central plains heat dome

showers will push across the area tonight... not expecting a widespread soaking but maybe a few spots get a good downpour or two. can see this general theme (the localized nature of higher rainfall totals) on the hrrr precip fields. Need the rain.

Full on summer mode has been engaged. Very warm stuff for early and mid June thus far

Gusty (kind of annoyingly strong) SW wind off of Buzzards Bay and Nantucket Sound capped temps in the 70s today...and we're back into the 60s this evening. Noticeably warmer off-Cape with readings still in the mid 80s this evening where the SW wind is a land breeze

Was welcomed for sure. A new way to share Eastham wx obs and get the forecast: apps.apple.com/us/app/capec...

Actually a touch humid today but drier air rushes in on N and NE winds tonight (preceded by some showers/thunder this evening). Enjoy the refreshing air. These low dew point air masses struggle to take hold during the mid and late summer months.

Cold start! Clear skies...light winds...cool/dry air mass...meant a temp free-fall last night. Mid 30s on parts of the Cape. 30F(!!) on Martha's Vineyard

should be a much better day Sunday (bar is pretty low)...sunshine and milder for a good chunk of the day...but have to watch for some afternoon showers/thunder around the region. Guidance popping off numerous PM showers/t-storms

Logan Airport gusting to 55 mph… that’ll be ours shortly

Have been waiting for guidance to back off of a miserable Saturday afternoon...not happening yet. Wet, chilly and very windy. GFS with 50 knot winds aloft on the backside of low pressure.

I've seen lots of fox photos from Provincetown, and finally had the chance to take a few myself at Race Point Beach's parking lot today. The fox had no fear, and then I saw why -- people were feeding it! People, don't do this!

Nantucket Sound buoy reporting a not-so-warm 38F water temp...on a day like today with a lighter breeze off the Sound, makes for some very remarkable temperature differences over just a few miles. 30s/Low 40s along RT 28 /the Sound / Buzzards Bay, 60s north of 6A

Get your flashlights / batteries / chargers ready etc. HRRR could be a bit over-the-top here on this particular run be multiple products showing gusts 70-85 mph tomorrow morning.

Sunsets in Boston are after 5pm starting *tomorrow*. In just over 1 month we'll have daylight at 7pm again. #wbz

Further increases in confidence for an impactful winter storm are noted across the Carolinas with greater uncertainty still farther up the coast.

Big time cold coming our way this weekend and we’ll be keeping an eye on our storm chances.

There was an excellent standing lenticular cloud over the Presidentials today! Otherworldly standing over Mount Washington. Here's a look at why they form ->

One more because awesome. View from the Bay

While Hurricane Melissa will pass waaay out to sea to our SE, some of the system's tropical moisture will get dragged northward ahead of an approaching cold front Thursday and Thursday night, giving the rain a little extra boost. Some hefty downpours likely Thursday evening/night.

Was pretty mild today (mid 60s) but a stretch of chilly weather coming up this weekend into early next week

A view seemingly frozen in time. Evident from the water line in Salt Pond that there was quite a high tide today ahead of the weekend’s coastal storm. I was fortunate to enjoy the gorgeous day and this vista.

I think I take this picture once every October. This was the peak of spookiness to me as a child. I hope it’s haunted.

Lots of hail with that cell moving east across Barnstable and Yarmouth

Good hailer rolling through the Mid-Cape

While the core of Erin passes WELL southeast of the area, we'll still deal with some gusty winds later today into Friday morning. Decent mixing will tap some of the stronger winds from aloft and yield NE winds 20-30 mph with some 40+ mph gusts. Maybe a spot 50 mph gust somewhere on the Outer Cape.

We're hanging on to comfortable conditions at the moment...with dewpoints still in the 60s here on the Cape. But gross air is lurking *just* to our south and west and that airmass builds in over the next several hours. Totally different feel with tropical humidity and increasing temps Mon-Wed

Really comfortable air mass over the area right now...dewpoints down into the 40s on the Cape. Wind will swing around to the south tonight and tomorrow and bring back the muggy air. It's likely going to be quite a while before we see air this dry again

Has been a cool, gray and misty day with a gusty onshore breeze. That wind swings around to the south tonight, sends milder/more humid air northward and could lead to a few showers/t-storms Tues as a cold front cuts through the area. HRRR highlighting some midday and afternoon downpours/thunder

Cape Cod isn’t a tropical place but it sure feels like a jungle this time of year. The setting sun coming through the greenery horizontally feels like you’re getting a vegetable hug.

Plenty of thunder rumbling out there and winds gusting to 50 mph (51 Hyannis, 54 Nantucket)

In addition to the strong wind, looking at some heavy rain tomorrow afternoon. NAM simulated radar shows a widespread soaking rain overspreading the area with embedded downpours. Could be a rumble of thunder in there as well

I’m not certain this is good news.
