Warm and dry

SUNNY SUNDAY

Today is shaping up to be a beautiful, sunny day with temperatures in the low 60s. It won’t be as windy as yesterday, but we’ll still have a breeze. With the dry conditions we’ve been experiencing, there is an elevated risk for brush fires, so please be cautious with any outdoor burning or open flames.

Monday will be another warmer day with highs again reaching the low 60s. A mainly dry front will move through the area in the afternoon, but it doesn’t look like we’ll see much in the way of rain across New England. Behind the front, temperatures will drop a little, returning to more seasonable levels by the middle of the week. Highs will settle into the low 50s through the end of the work week.

LATE WEEK RAIN

The ongoing drought across southern New England is starting to take its toll, and our next chance of rain will come later in the week. Thursday and Friday look like our best shot, with a steady rain at times expected to move in. Early estimates suggest we could see half an inch or more, which will help alleviate some of the dryness, but we’ll need a lot more to make a real dent in the drought conditions.

So, while you enjoy the sunshine today and tomorrow, keep an eye on the sky later in the week as rain moves in to help us out of this dry spell.
