Some early pockets of color showing up around some of the swamps and marshes. Can’t believe it’s already October.

Things improve tomorrow and then a nice warm early October day coming up on Friday. 70s (locally) and 80s (over the bridge) around the area. Should feel quite nice given a long stretch of cool (and frequently gray) weather

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 27/09/2026
Still raining in many areas and showers will be off and on right through tomorrow so this isn't final. CoCoRaHS 2-day rainfall around the region through the 7am reports this morning.

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.

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 26/09/2026
Some wind gusts recorded around the region thus far. Certainly windy but not really atypical stuff for a coastal storm in our part of the world
060
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 24/09/2026
If it's going to be windy and cold, might as well get some meaningful rainfall. National Blend of Models cranking out some hefty totals Fri-Mon. We'll see where (Mid-Atlantic/SNE) heaviest ends up. Suppose it's good that it's spread out over 3 to 4 days vs 3 to 4 hours.

Beyond the fact that the weekend weather looks like crap, this gusty onshore wind is also stealing a whole week of what can be the nicest month of the year on the Cape. 60F with a NE wind gusting to 35 mph isn't exactly perfect September weather

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 22/09/2026
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.
061
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 20/09/2026
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.

Fog in the river valleys...always a cool look.

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 03/08/2026
Next 1 to 2 weeks will go down as a very muggy stretch...but we do get a quick shot of relief tomorrow. SW winds shift to the W later this evening and push this garbage air out to sea for a day or so. Can see the drier air pushing eastward:

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 02/08/2026
Humid stretch of weather coming up. Started today...lingers for much of the next 7 to 10 days (small break Tue/Wed possible)
040
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 29/07/2026
Someone(where) gets a boat load of rain over the next 0-48 hours.

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 22/07/2026
Another nice drink last night. Solid 1 to 3 inches of rain. Reports from the CoCoRaHS network
140
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 16/07/2026
This is neat - showers and t-storms firing up west of Chicago along the thermal boundary caused by smoke and no-smoke. Weather doing cool things.
1187
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 16/07/2026
All that smoke really put a lid on temperatures. Fell well short of modeled high temperatures today. Not common to miss across the board by this much.
050
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 15/07/2026
It’s pretty creepy looking out there. So much smoke in the atmosphere
Smoke appears on satellite image of the northeast
2103
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 15/07/2026
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
221
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 12/07/2026
it's brief (NW flow aloft helps it get here but also cuts it off) but a pulse of heat will break off the central us heat dome and eject into the Northeast and New England Tue/Wed. 850mb temps spike to 22-24C Tue Night. some guidance (euro, nam) pushes values to 25-26C(!). 🔥

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 08/07/2026
some hefty rainfall totals...good soaker Cape-wide but 3 to 6"+ from Mashpee over to Falmouth
040
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 01/07/2026
SW wind should cap temps in the 80s-90-ish Thursday (still hot) on most of the Cape...but that wind becomes a lighter offshore breeze Friday and that small shift likely means widespread 90s with very high humidity. Hottest day in several years.
132
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 28/06/2026
Kind of murky to start but the strong June sun is going to work on the fog bank. Watch the holes in the overcast expand as the land starts to heat up. Should mix out most of this gray over the next hour or so
030
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 28/06/2026
Quite the heat signal for next week. 850 temps pushing 22-24C Wed-Fri. National Blend of Models already sitting at 88, 93, 93, 87 for Wed-Sat at Hyannis with dewpoints in the 70s. ECMWF pushes mid-upper 90s.
221
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 25/06/2026
a few close-ups on the upper, mid and lower cape to get a better view of those totals. pretty wide range around the area with 1/2 to 4+" of rain...and some big variations over a very short distance
020
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 25/06/2026
Some hefty rainfall totals from those rounds of downpours that crossed the area Mon/Tue. Lots of street flooding resulted near the Canal and another Beachcomber washout (over 4" of rain in Wellfleet!)
460
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 20/06/2026
sunny, breezy and mild (very comfortable out there) this morning but some building clouds and likely a few scattered showers / maybe a t-storm / around later in the day and into the evening
020
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 17/06/2026
Fairly strong low pressure passing well to our north tomorrow...unfortunately not much, if any, rain expected locally but turning rather windy and a bit muggy. Gale watches posted for some of the coastal waters as gusts 30 to 40 mph expected in the afternoon - careful if headed out on the water.
010
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 15/06/2026
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.
011
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 14/06/2026
Full on summer mode has been engaged. Very warm stuff for early and mid June thus far
SE MA and Cape & Islands temperature map. Temperatures in the 70s and 80s

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 11/06/2026
Few showers in spots this afternoon were associated with a warm front crossing the area. Warmer and more humid air mass building in overnight. First truly humid day of the year coming up tomorrow with dew points 65F-70F. Probably some low clouds / fog to contend with for a time too, as a result

If you have a sec - nice view of Venus and Jupiter a bit above the NW horizon at the moment

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
251
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 08/06/2026
Feel like the black locust is sort of meh overall but it’s quite nice for about a week in June. Cape is loaded with ‘em and they are fully flowered right now

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.
121
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 07/06/2026
Couple of loud cracks of thunder last night as a fast-moving line of downpours moved through the area. Additional showers/storms possible this evening.

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 05/06/2026
Up to 81F at Chatham - offshore breeze makes all the difference. Full summer mode

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
052
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 31/05/2026
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
252
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 30/05/2026
Pretty quiet right now but a different story midday into the afternoon - very windy, wet and chilly. As the core of strong wind rotates thru, gusts 40 to 55 mph are likely. Some pockets of limb/tree damage, scattered power outages and certainly some messy yards by this evening.
331
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 28/05/2026
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.

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 17/05/2026
It’s acceptable

Really nice day coming up tomorrow (Sunday). Any morning clouds give way to sunshine/blue skies and warm temps. 70-80F around the Cape. Get outside.
392
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 14/05/2026
Showers and some heavier downpours move through the area tomorrow... drizzle / leftover showers linger into Friday. A good .5 to 1.5 inch rain event seems likely by Fri PM. Today's ecmwf with about 1" locally...1-2+" up toward Boston. Most other guidance with a similar-ish look
050
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 03/05/2026
Welcomed rain overnight. Looks like a few more opportunities for some decent rain events in the next week or two as well. Reports into the CoCoRaHS Network:
140
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 02/05/2026
Healthy shield of rain lifting northward toward the area. We'll be right on the western edge of this system overnight. Going to be a sharp cut-off in total precipitation - not far from the Canal - between a decent rain and not much at all.
130
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 15/04/2026
Pretty wild temperature gradient for a time today. Upper 70s / lower 80s on parts of the Upper Cape...50s on the Outer Cape. Wind shift to the northeast pushed low level marine air westward and dramatically cooled the Outer Cape but the boundary washed out before crossing the entire Cape

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 14/04/2026
What a day today - 75F Falmouth and P-town, 74F Hyannis, 73F Chatham

Can't change my mind that March is the worst month of the year.

Latest HRRR cranking out a solid 1-1.5" of rain through tomorrow morning. Lighter precip (mix of snow and rain) continues into Monday night.
