  Joe Lumberg, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather,
• 0:04
  who is joining us now, as he does every time there is some
• 0:06
  sort of weather event to talk about.
• 0:08
  What's going on this morning, Joe?
• 0:09
  How are things? Things are good.
• 0:11
  We're having fun this morning talking about the, you know,
• 0:14
  great little town names of New England.
• 0:16
  Love the love some of the great names because some of my cohorts
• 0:19
  are there. They didn't grow up in New
• 0:21
  England, so they don't know these wonderful town names that
• 0:24
  that I'm so familiar. With there are many.
• 0:26
  There are many indeed, so as. One of my favorite ones being
• 0:29
  Weekity Clock Cove in southeast Connecticut.
• 0:32
  Just they are just to the east of Mystic West of Pauketock.
• 0:35
  It's a it's a nice little place along US Route One.
• 0:39
  The more challenging ones tend to be those Native American
• 0:41
  names that that end up on the map because they are longer,
• 0:45
  right? There's more syllables usually.
• 0:47
  But Joe Lumber, I got a question for you.
• 0:50
  I'm wearing a hoodie this morning.
• 0:51
  What happened to my summer weather?
• 0:53
  Where did it go? And am I going to be treated to
• 0:55
  rain today, too? Is that the?
• 0:57
  The summer of 2026 is now in our rearview mirror.
• 1:00
  It's over with, we're back to spring, and it's here to stay
• 1:02
  for a while. OK, that's not funny.
• 1:05
  Tell me, tell me what's serious. Yeah.
• 1:07
  For the whole summer though, right?
• 1:09
  Well, for the foreseeable future, we're in a pattern right
• 1:12
  now where upper level features are going to drop down from the
• 1:15
  north, northwest, and every time they do, they're going to bring
• 1:18
  with us some rounds of chilly air.
• 1:20
  One of them's coming through today, and it's brought the
• 1:22
  change from yesterday's 84° warmth, the temperature today,
• 1:25
  some 20° cooler across the area, at least 15° cooler.
• 1:29
  And there'll be a couple of showers accompanying this change
• 1:32
  and maybe even a rumble of Thunder that goes away only to
• 1:34
  be followed by another one tomorrow night and into
• 1:36
  Saturday. And that one's going to be much
• 1:38
  more vicious. There'll be some rain with that.
• 1:41
  It's going to feel like a February or early March day
• 1:44
  around here on Saturday as the rain moves away, but it'll be
• 1:47
  Indy and Chile with temperatures in the low 50s.
• 1:49
  That doesn't exactly speak summer to me.
• 1:53
  No, not nor to me. So you think this is going to
• 1:55
  persist for some time? This is going to be something
• 1:58
  that we're dealing with for a while.
• 2:00
  Is this this not summer weather? I do, you know, I just don't see
• 2:04
  anything to get us out of it in the short term.
• 2:07
  I think we do rebound on Sunday, but then there's another upper
• 2:10
  level feature that will drop in from the north and West on
• 2:13
  Monday and that's going to promote more clouds and probably
• 2:16
  some showers that'll hang around at a Tuesday.
• 2:18
  Then that goes away. You get a little bit of warming
• 2:20
  for the second-half of next week.
• 2:22
  That looks like another front comes through late next week or
• 2:24
  the start of next weekend. You get a couple of days of cool
• 2:27
  weather, tries to warm up, then yet another front comes through,
• 2:30
  probably middle latter part of the following week, followed by
• 2:33
  some more cool weather. So it's a pattern that just
• 2:36
  doesn't show any sign of ending anytime soon.
• 2:38
  So days of warmth where we can get to 80 or better are going to
• 2:41
  be very, very few and far between for at least the next
• 2:44
  two or three weeks. I was going to say that's going
• 2:46
  to be, you know eating into half a June there.
• 2:48
  So if you know that much of our June is going to be kind of
• 2:52
  moderate temperatures, that's an interesting summer to say the
• 2:56
  least. You didn't like my joke, but I
• 2:57
  wasn't joking. I've been totally serious about
• 2:59
  it. Summers.
• 3:00
  Summers held in a bands for a while right now.
• 3:02
  Well, maybe by the time you get to July, it'll be 110° and be
• 3:06
  insufferable. I don't know, pause.
• 3:08
  Would you? I mean, I think not.
• 3:10
  I've asked you about what you thought the sort of longer term,
• 3:13
  you know, forecasts were for the summer, like is it going to be a
• 3:16
  hot 1? Is it going to be a dry one?
• 3:18
  Is it, you know, what's it going to be like?
• 3:19
  Do you have any sort? Of sense is going to be packed
• 3:21
  into the back end of summer. I think later July and August,
• 3:24
  that's if you're going to see the, you know, the days where
• 3:26
  it's 85 to 90 in the high humidity, it's going to be then
• 3:30
  it's not going to be the front half by and large.
• 3:31
  I mean, you'll get, you'll get a day or two here and there, but
• 3:34
  persistency that's going to be lacking for the first part of
• 3:36
  the summer season. And is it going to continue to
• 3:39
  be, you know, intermittently raining?
• 3:42
  I mean, it hasn't been too bad, honestly.
• 3:44
  It's it's rained enough to keep the grass growing and to keep
• 3:47
  things, you know, actually green.
• 3:49
  But it hasn't been pouring and soaking too much, certainly not
• 3:52
  like last year. Is that going to continue?
• 3:54
  I think so. I think there'll be a tendency
• 3:56
  for to be a little bit drier going forward with less than the
• 4:00
  in terms of the intensity of rainfall once we get past the
• 4:02
  system that rolls through here Friday night, early Saturday,
• 4:04
  which by the way will produce some snow up in the mountains.
• 4:07
  So I I forgot to mention that. Oh, isn't that lovely?
• 4:10
  Well, meteorologist Joe Lumberg, nice talking to you as always.
• 4:13
  I love when you can deliver such good news to us on a Thursday
• 4:17
  morning. So appreciate you being here.
• 4:19
  And we will talk again very soon, Sir.
• 4:21
  Take care and enjoy the weather. It's the only weather you got.
• 4:24
  I'll try.
