Reposted by Philip BurtKeith Barber @keith-barber.bsky.social · 27/09/2026@capecodweather.net We just reached 6.00 inches of rain in #Pocasset 031
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 27/09/2026Still 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. 120
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 26/09/2026Nasty 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. 032
Reposted by Philip BurtKeith Barber @keith-barber.bsky.social · 26/09/2026@capecodweather.net Currently experiencing thunder and lightning in #Pocasset. 1.88 inches of rain so far. Wind gusts in the low 30s MPH 001
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 26/09/2026Some 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 · 24/09/2026If 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. 040
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 24/09/2026Fair. But too cold for my liking this early in the Fall 000
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 23/09/2026Beyond 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 551
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 22/09/2026Plenty 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 · 20/09/2026Models 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. 161

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 03/08/2026Next 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: 150
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 02/08/2026Humid 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 · 29/07/2026Someone(where) gets a boat load of rain over the next 0-48 hours. 141
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 22/07/2026Another nice drink last night. Solid 1 to 3 inches of rain. Reports from the CoCoRaHS network 140

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 16/07/2026This 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 · 16/07/2026All 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 · 15/07/2026some...but this may be the first of a few of these episodes 000
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 15/07/2026It’s pretty creepy looking out there. So much smoke in the atmosphere 2103
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 15/07/2026What'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 · 12/07/2026it'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(!). 🔥 210
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 08/07/2026some hefty rainfall totals...good soaker Cape-wide but 3 to 6"+ from Mashpee over to Falmouth 040
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 01/07/2026SW 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 · 28/06/2026Kind 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 · 28/06/2026Quite 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 · 25/06/2026a 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 · 25/06/2026Some 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 · 20/06/2026sunny, 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 · 17/06/2026Fairly 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 · 15/06/2026showers 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 · 14/06/2026Full on summer mode has been engaged. Very warm stuff for early and mid June thus far 131

Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 11/06/2026ha yeah saw the radar and figured you were getting a good drink of water. had about 5 drops here. 000
Philip Burt @capecodweather.net · 11/06/2026Few 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 221
