You like the video blog? This is from the new NECN Weather Blog that launched Friday! Joe, Tim and I will update it with more in-depth weather information than what we're able to convey in our brief TV weathercasts. Check it out..and I hope you like it as it continues to grow and expand!
BTW - have you seen the piece where I got to fly with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels last week? It was an AWESOME FLIGHT!! If you've ever wondered what it's like to fly in a fighter aircraft (we went cloud surfing, too!) you HAVE to check out my post. It's on the Meteorology Memos and More page, or you can link directly to the post.
Of course, you can continue to get down and dirty with weather info here, too, and with Hanna having come and gone, some may be wondering exactly what transpired with the storm. The National Weather Service has a terrific list in the Public Info Statements and Storm Reports - a few of which are pasted in the extended body of this post (click "Continue Reading" at the bottom of this post to access it). Impressive rainfall totals, but wind was lacking for most of New England - as anticipated, the greatest wind stayed southeast of the storm track. As a result, this Tuesday is likely to be windier for most of New England than Hanna's passage was.
The players in the short term are a bubble of high pressure migrating quickly east from the Ohio Valley that will slide very quickly off our coastline and combine with the Northwest Atlantic ridge to bring building high pressure to the waters east of New England later Monday night into Tuesday. At the same time, the pronounced cold front moving through the Great Lakes will receive an extra push from the shortwave aloft that's been producing Midwestern showers and thunder - the image here is of the 500 mb vorticity prognosis, illustrating the energy center driving across the Northeast on Tuesday afternoon. 
The interaction of this upper level disturbance with the surface cold front will result in a developing wave of low pressure along the front that will strengthen Monday night into Tuesday while pulling across NY State and into Quebec. After a quiet Monday, this establishes a pressure gradient force across New England that will yield only a light southwest wind in a weakly mixed atmosphere overnight Monday night (though the wind may limit fog development in Central and Southern New England), but will start cranking once the atmosphere mixes on Tuesday. In fact, indications are that a low level jet between about 925 and 850 mb should crank from the south and southwest to the tune of 50-60 knots! 
This is incredible velocity not far off the ground, and the sunshine that will make an appearance prior to the arrival of frontal and pre-frontal clouds will mix the atmosphere to about 850 or 870 mb, and that will be plenty to mix these winds down. As a result, gusts to 45 or 50 mph have to be considered for Tuesday, especially at south facing coastlines and on hilly and mountainous terrain. Additionally, favored downslope locales on a southwest wind hold the potential for some localized damaging gusts Tuesday afternoon, even with simply sun and building clouds, by virtue of the downward momentum transfer with mixing underway. Any prefrontal convection that develops will, of course, easily tap these winds, and creating a line or multiple line segments of damaging thunderstorm winds should not be difficult. The only retarding factor could be the amount of instability, though mean layer CAPE 
values are still forecasted to climb to between 500 and 1000 J/kg, which isn't great for a severe weather outbreak under normal circumstances, but the amount of dynamic forcing and kinematic profile of wind will not require much instability to produce damaging storms. Additiona
lly, the biggest limiting factor to instability normally is lack of sunshine
- and while that will be at play with increasing moisture in the mid-levels ahead of the front, the advective properties of the strong southwest wind should be able to force the warm front far north, to near the Canadian border, 
thereby allowing warm air to penetrate across most of New England.
Following the front and its associated storms, a crisp airmass carves into New England for later Tuesday night and Wednesday, with Wednesday maximum temps likely to hover in the 60s central and north, and come either side of 70 south where a downsloping wind will help to warm the airmass. Some instability cumulus are likely with the cool air streaming overhead, as 850 mb temps cool to +2 C! 
Thursday will feature a recovery quickly aloft - with rising heights and a quick rebound at 850 mb, as well, but getting that warmer air in place at the surface may be a bit slower to evolve, so I kept a graduated moderation into the end of the week. Another front looks primed for a few showers by late Friday, though multiple shortwave ejecting northeast ahead of a digging central US upper low may mean continued showers in the forecast into the start of the upcoming weekend.
