@capecodweather.net We just reached 6.00 inches of rain in #Pocasset

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.

@capecodweather.net Currently experiencing thunder and lightning in #Pocasset. 1.88 inches of rain so far. Wind gusts in the low 30s MPH

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

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.

Fair. But too cold for my liking this early in the Fall

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

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.

0.6” in the rain gauge this morning in Eastham, MA. Gray and clammy, like it might start raining or misting again any minute. #mawx @wx1box.bsky.social @capecodweather.net

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.

Enten: "Trump is breaking records. Yesterday the Marquette Law School poll came out -- Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation. Minus 61! That's the worst Trump has ever polled on inflation, & not only that, it's the worst any president EVER has polled on inflation. Worse than Jimmy Carter!"

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:

The Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage estimate they’ve removed 6,000 pounds of refuse from ponds on Cape Cod. Members have to be at least 64 and able to swim half a mile in under 30 minutes and free dive to eight feet. “It’s the best feeling,” one said.

I can't imagine anyone who heard this speech believes Trump will allow free and fair elections to occur in 2026 or 2028, will honor any results he dislikes, or will allow American democracy to continue unless it somehow survives the avalanche of huge attacks he's clearly planning

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.

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.

It’s pretty creepy looking out there. So much smoke in the atmosphere
Smoke appears on satellite image of the northeast

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

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(!). 🔥

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.

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

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.

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!)

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

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.

Full on summer mode has been engaged. Very warm stuff for early and mid June thus far

The area near the #Galapagos Islands are very hot. About 6-10F above normal. Obviously this has very negative implications for wildlife on/around the islands and the coastal communities / fisherman in Ecuador, Peru, etc...

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
