Labor Day weekend has arrived – the unofficial end of summer, and at least one or two days will feel more like early fall.

A cold front pushes through the region this evening, with any lingering showers ending, followed by some clear overnight. High pressure then builds in at the surface, but an upper-level low will take it’s time crossing the Northeast. The result will be morning sun, afternoon clouds, and a few pop-up showers on Friday, perhaps a few more on Saturday. A storm system south of Nova Scotia may send a few more clouds in late Saturday and Saturday night, but any rainfall should stay well to our east. With the upper low overhead, temperatures will be relatively cool on Saturday and Sunday, but will start to moderate for Monday with drier air as the upper-low slides off to the east.

Rush wrote that lyric in the song “Time Stand Still”, but it’s appropriate for where we are now, as some cooler weather is on the way as we flip the calendar to September and the beginning of meteorological autumn.

A backdoor cold front will drop southward today, likely stalling out just south and west of the region. The front will be accompanied by just a few clouds, but behind it, cooler air will settle in, especially near the east coast. A couple of waves of low pressure will ride along the front, keeping lots of clouds in place with some episodes of showers and a few thunderstorms at times between Monday night and Thursday. The last wave will lift the front northward as a warm front on Thursday, before a stronger cold front moves through late in the day, with some additional showers and thunderstorms. High pressure then builds in at the surface, but an upper-level low will settle into the Northeast for Friday and Saturday, possibly Sunday as well. The result will be sunshine each morning, some clouds build up, and a few spotty showers developing. For Labor Day, high pressure should result in dry and seasonably mild weather.

Monday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 75-82, cooler near the east coast, especially in the afternoon.
The final week of summer (traditional and meteorological) has arrived, and for the most part, the weather will be fairly nice, but a little on the cool side.

We start the week off with some rain across the Cape and Islands as a weak low pressure area passes by offshore. The rain should end during the morning, but we’ve got a cold front moving in from the west. We could see some sunshine, especially inland during the morning, but as the front moves in, we’ll see some showers and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon. They shouldn’t be that strong, but a few could produce some gusty winds and heavy downpours. They’ll quickly subside during the evening as the front pushes offshore, then high pressure starts to build in with cooler and drier conditions. However, we’ll also have an upper-level low pressure area moving in from the Great Lakes, and this will likely generate some clouds for Tuesday afternoon. It’ll probably be a little too dry for any showers to pop up, but it wouldn’t be a complete shock if a few days. Another disturbance rotating around that upper low will move in for Wednesday, with some morning sun followed by afternoon clouds, and this day may feature a better chance for some pop-up showers during the afternoon. Thursday looks like another dry day with some afternoon clouds and temperatures that remain a little below normal for late August.

As we get to Labor Day weekend, we’ll see another low pressure area moving in on Friday, with another round of showers and possibly some thunderstorms. The system will take its time moving out as another upper-level low moves in, so Saturday may feature more clouds and a few showers, especially early, but we should see some improvement during the afternoon. Sunday looks pretty nice, but we’ll still have an upper-level low nearby, so expect more clouds, but for now, we’re not expecting more showers. High pressure builds in for Labor Day with dry and seasonably warm conditions, though some clouds are still likely as that upper-level low will be slow to depart.
Friday could feature some showers and thunderstorms, but much of the rest of the weekend looks dry. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
