Warm, Dry Stretch Grips Much of the U.S. as New England Braces for High Winds

A late-weekend front is set to end the warm spell with a sharp cooldown.

Overview

  • High pressure is keeping many regions sunny and unusually mild through midweek, with parts of the South and Southwest near or above 70–80 degrees and little to no rain in the forecast.
  • Fast-moving systems will bring brief showers and gusty conditions midweek, and the National Weather Service has issued high wind watches and advisories in New England with gusts reaching 40–55 mph and scattered outages reported.
  • Coastal New England faces astronomically high tides tied to a midweek supermoon, with forecasters warning of localized road impacts such as possible closures on Morrissey Boulevard in Boston.
  • Scattered showers return in waves for many areas from late Wednesday into early Saturday, with generally light totals and dry breaks between rounds.
  • A stronger cold front late Sunday into Monday is expected to drop temperatures sharply, introducing frost and first-freeze risk inland and bringing early-season snow to higher terrain and lake-effect-prone areas.
