DAYS 1-5 (JULY 31-AUGUST 4)
High pressure offshore delivers one more day of heat/humidity but a cold front moving into the area will trigger afternoon thunderstorms. Not every location will be hit directly but those that are could see a strong storm with downpours, lightning, and locally gusty winds. Conditions will settle down tonight as the storms lose support from heating and the front itself will make its way to just offshore by morning, so a morning shower may occur near Cape Cod Thursday, and a pop up afternoon shower is possible near a sea breeze boundary, otherwise high pressure will build in later Thursday through Friday with some great weather to start off August. Some humidity will return over the weekend along with a risk of a few showers and thunderstorms as a trough of low pressure makes its way into the region.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 5-9)
Weak high pressure brings fair weather August 5. A broad trough will move across the region sending a stronger front through the region with more cloudiness and a cooling trend with a couple episodes of unsettled weather during the August 6-8 period. High pressure builds in with fair weather by August 9.
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 10-14)
The upper pattern will feature high pressure ridging further west in the US and well off the Atlantic Coast which will allow the jet stream to sink a little further south, preventing major heat and bringing occasional shower and thunderstorm threats heading into mid August.
