Weekly Significant Weather Outlook
It looks like a fairly quiet week weather-wise across southern New England. Cold air intrusion will allow temperatures tonight and Tuesday night to drop into the 30s across some interior locations. In particular, clear skies and light winds will promote efficient radiational cooling Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning for a risk of frost across sizable portions of interior southern New England.
Tropics
An area of showers and thunderstorms in the southwest Gulf is anticipated to become better organized this week and will likely develop into a tropical depression mid to late week. If nothing else, this system may increase a heavy rain threat for a portion of the U.S. Gulf coast late this week or the coming weekend.
Next Message
The next message will probably be the weekly significant weather outlook scheduled for Monday October 12.
